FYI - This business also shows up under the heading, "Barrett's Upholstery Center", same number and address.
I needed the convertible top replaced on my Miata, a Google search returned this business. I was planning on going down to Austin to have the repair completed but since this is a two-day job, getting the work done in Killeen is much more convenient. I called the shop, confirmed that they could complete the job and received an acceptable estimate. I also mentioned that I didn't have a truck and asked if I could order the top and have it shipped directly to the shop and was told that that wouldn't be a problem; I got the impression that this had been done before. I asked if they could recommend any particular brand of replacement top and was told that both EZ ON and Robbins were quality brands, I went with a Robbins from TopsOnline.com. The person I spoke to at Barrett's was polite and VERY informative, so far, so good.
Well, I ordered the top August 2nd, opting for the cloth because I believe it looks a bit classier than the original vinyl, seeing the new top installed I'm glad I made that choice.
For any Miata types out there, the item number that I ordered was "R2917C-STBKB" with a description of "1998 thru 2005 Mazda Miata MX5 & MX5 Eunos -- 1 Piece Look Top with No Zipper Heated Defroster Glass Window With New Rain Rail"
As planned, on August 8th, my top arrived at the shop, I was notified of the delivery and called to confirm receipt, I wish I had waited for the shop to call me since I could have reviewed that as well.
The shop was booked up for the remainder of the week so the install actually began a few days later, I used their drop-off service and dropped my car off in the evening. The install was expected to take two days but took three, this wasn't a big deal, I'd much rather the top be installed professionally than quickly, and this was a beautiful install!
I apologize to the business for this review being dated by a couple of months but that is actually a good thing, I've had a few more weeks to review both the top and the install. I am comfortable taking my Miata through touch-free carwashes and this top performs well under such conditions, I also drove through heavy rain generated by Hurricane Harvey and thanks to some cool mornings, I've been able to test out the rear defrost. Everything works as advertised and I am 100% satisfied with both the product and the installation. Kudos to both Topsonline.com and Barrett's Upholstery Center. read more
