Question Trailer hitch

I want to find a place to install a trailer class 1 hitch for traveling 2 bikes.
Here in Quebec I found that every place who sell and install it for Rondo, have prices too high. In July, I gone to Kia dealer at Williston VT, and I bought a rear bumper guard for 88$ us + tax. Here in Quebec, the Kia dealer charge 133$ + tax. for the same. My question is for Kia owner in NY state or VT state. Did somebody can refer me to a good place to buy it. If you have place near Burlington VT or Plattsburgh NY I will appreciate.

You may already know this, but Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Curt all make aftermarket hitches for the Rondo. You could check for dealers of those products in your area if you have'nt already. Aftermarket is almost always ceaper than OE. Hope this helps.

The wheels are 18x7.5 Konig Hotswaps w/ Kumho Ecsta SPT 225/45 ZR18. I also dynamated the interior because the car is like driving in a tin can. I also replaced the stock stereo and speakers with a Kenwood 7100 gps unit and Infinity Ref 6022i's speakers because the stock stuff hits like an ald lady.
