Exactly what we needed
this Thule 963 Spare Me review by Tory
vehicle year/make/model: 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7
item(s) transported: 2 x Specialized bikes "Carmel" model
We were shopping for a bike rack for our new bikes and not finding what we really wanted. As we were leaving the 4th bike store, we noticed the perfect rack on the car next to us. I noted the brand name, came home and ordered it on line. Since we were leaving on vacation in 4 days, I emailed ORS Racks Direct asking that they ship ASAP. They responded immediately, shipped the next day and we had our rack before we left. It is everything we hoped for -well made and easy to use. The service from ORS Racks Direct was great, and the price was less than I could find anywhere else, especially with the on line coupon that I found.
Installs Easily, Works Perfectly, Looks great too

this Thule 963 Spare Me review by SFK
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
item(s) transported: Lightspeed & Giant road bikes
My husband and I decided to purchase the Thule 963 Spare Me bike rack so that we don't have to stuff the bicycles in our Suzuki Grand Vitara nor having to drive 2 vehicles to go on a ride. It is perfect for us and what we love most is that arms folds down neatly when not in use. It was easy to install and we are now the envy of our bicycle fraternity. Purchasing from ORS Racks Direct was simple and the bike rack was delivered in a couple of days.
