First let's start with a hitch for your 2015 Acura RDX. For that I recommend the Draw TIite part # 75784 as it is a 2 inch hitch size which means it has plenty of capacity for a bike rack and is also the size most 4 bike racks are made to fit.
My 4-bike Thule rack to recommend is the Thule Apex Swing part # TH9027XT because it can carry up to 4 bikes and can swing out and away from the rear of the vehicle to give you complete access to the rear cargo area with bikes loaded. The arms of the rack can also fold down when not in use so that the bike rack doesn't take up much space as well. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this rack as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
To find an installer for the hitch best option is to find a local mechanic with a good reputation and let them handle it. Hitch installs are very basic for mechanics based on what they normally work on so this would be super easy for them!
