Expert Rack Installation

Auto Rack Installation Policy

We offer installations of base car & truck rack systems and accessories when purchased from Get:Outdoors. Most basic rack installations are free when 100% of the parts are purchased from our store. Hourly rates will be applied to items purchased from other stores, disassembly of old racks, customization, etc.

Some installations take longer than others and occasionally unseen issues arise; please be patient with us during your installation. When scheduling a rack installation, please give yourself a 1-1/2 - 2 hour time block so we can do the install and then show you how everything works, answer any questions, and make sure you are comfortable using your new rack system. We want to give you the best installation experience possible.

DISCLAIMERS

Due to busy Saturdays we prefer installations to be done Monday - Friday, between the hours of 10am- 4pm.

  • Scheduled appointments are recommended for base rack installations, in some instances we can install the rack on the spot. However, appointments are required for custom installations for the following accessories: Thule Hullavator, Xsporter and TracRack systems; Yakima Showdown, Showboat, Overhaul, Outpost, and Outdoorsman, and any platform installations.
  • We have the right to refuse any installation, if we deem the install to be unsafe or inappropriate for the intended use.
  • Some older rack parts are not compatible with new rack parts. If safety becomes an issue at any time, the car rack will not be installed.
  • We will not drill holes in your vehicle for the mounting of any hardware, no exceptions.
  • We reserve the right to waive any of the extra installation fees.
  • We are unable to offer a discount of base rack components and offer free installation.  
  • We will install new racks (Thule, Yakima, Malone) purchased from other retailers, but you will be charged our hourly labor rate ($90/hr.) for the installation
