Great service, they were able to turn it around within 1 day and at a reasonable price. My only suggestion is to get everything in writing before agreeing to the service to avoid any confusion. I brought a 2006 NC Miata. If/when I need to do the service again, I'll definitely bring it here as well as recommended to others. read more

Ricardo installed a new Robbins soft top on my son's NA first gen Miata. He did it within the same day at a good price. He was detailed oriented and knowledgable. I like that he is polite and kind and works at 7am. Highly recommend to all those Miata fanatics out there. read more

Just got a new convertible top. Looks great! Wife couldn't pick me up or drop off, so Ricardo drove me home and picked me up. Reasonable price. No complaints at all. Need to wait a couple of weeks to test it out, but it looks great. Same day installation after the new top arrived read more

Never met a more cordial and pleasant person providing service and doing high quality work fast and at very reasonable prices too. Fabulous service! Highly recommend getting a soft-top with glass window replacement for older Porsche's here. Very impressive final result too! read more

This is my new "go to" when it comes to convertible tops and upholstery. I had called many different convertible shops and was very disappointed with their offerings. I had purchased the top on my own and therefore didn't need the shop to get one for me. Most of the shops that I called would not allow me to pre-purchase the top, they wanted to purchase the top for me. Of course they did, they can double the price of the top. Anyway, Soft Tops didn't care that I had previously purchased the top and also gave me the best price for installation. They did an awesome job and I was in and out the very same day. Kudos to the installer. I have a couple of other jobs that I need done and I will absolutely be calling Ricardo to do the job for me. read more

My BMW Z4 was vandalized and the soft top of the convertible slashed. I found Ricardo thru Yelp and wanted to let others know how great he was in fixing it so fast and so perfect. He is a very honest businessman who did not overcharge me and was very helpful. You can certainly tell that he has extensive knowledge and many years of experience. I highly recommend taking your car to his shop! read more

Took my Volvo C70 to Soft Top to replace my convertible top. The workmanship, attention to detail and responsiveness to me as a customer was outstanding! Ricardo (the owner) too his time to go over the process with me, and then gave instructions (at the completion of the job) for care for my new top. I am very pleased with the quality of the top, the appearance and the care given. The price was fair (beat another shop by quite a bit!) I am glad I found Soft Top! read more

Took my Mustang to Ricardo because the convertible motor wasn't working. He diagnosed the problem, ordered the part(s), fixed it and I was back out on the road, top down and enjoying the sunshine again within a couple of days. Excellent service at a good price. Thanks, Ricardo and crew. read more

Horrible workmanship. The roof is coming apart within the first month. Upon careful observation I can see they knew the poor job they were doing and cut corners everywhere. Wasted a good new roof by giving it to them. read more

Was looking for someone to install new seat coverings in my Ford Mustang drop top. Called around to see prices and decided to go with Ricardo, based on price and Yelp reviews. Ricardo was very professional on the phone and was able to get me in within a day. I dropped the car off in the morning and was able to have it the next day. All I can say is wow! So happy at how they turned out. Kudos to Ricardo and Salvadore for checking off one more item in my restoration. Much appreciated! read more

Ive gone here off n on for over 10 years They have changed my top, done door panels and various other small projects as they come up Always seems fair, a lil old school and maybe because my cars are small, things get done within a few days Nice dealing with someone who can recognize fabrics instantly, offer suggestions and takes on my custom stuff easily. read more

Great service - Ricardo is an old school car guy that you really can trust. Very fair prices and quality work. We had our Audi A5 top replaced and the headliner re-attached to the frame (original gluing approach had failed so they stitched it). read more

I bought a convertible with the top shredded, knowing that I needed to have it replaced. I did not realize how expensive it would be. I spent a long time searching for a shop to do the job cheaply. I searched all over california from LA to Redding, and then I found Soft Tops. Soft tops gave me the cheapest quote (over the phone!) by a huge margin compared to any other shops. The said I could bring the car in at my soonest convenience, and they ended up finishing the job quicker then they originally told me. The top came out looking great, I'm very satisfied with their service. Any upholstery needs I have I will take her too. read more

Absolutely fabulous job!! They did something all the other bodyshops I had called before couldn't do. I needed to get the rear glass on my miata rooftop fixed. I had called at least 6 other shops earlier and they all quoted high prices for plastic fixes and denied helping fix just for glass. They did a great job at the best price I could get. I highly recommend them. read more

I was having issues with my 2007 Audi A4 soft top. The soft top was not sealing completely on the passenger side. Ricardo and Salvador were accommodating and knowledgeable in what the issue was and how to fix it. I was short on time so Salvador worked as quick as he could to take care of the issue. Salvador also went out of his way to retrieve a screw that was stuck in a hard to reach area. Thank you Soft Tops. It was a pleasure doing business with you - very friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. read more

After reading the great reviews, I tried giving Soft Tops a call to ask a few questions about having them install the soft top on my 1993 Mazda Miata. Ricardo asked me a few questions about my car, and the soft top I ordered. He gave me a quote over the phone at $390. After searching online quite a bit, I knew this price was not only fair, but cheaper than most. I asked him if he had time to look at it that day. He told me to bring it down. 6 hours later, I came to pick up my car. Ricardo and his crew did a great job on the top and the car looks brand new! Great Job. I would recommend to my friends and family. read more

The rear window of my Jaguar XKR convertible decided to fall out during the heat at the end of summer. Knowing the dealer prices would be over the top, I looked around and found Soft Tops. I gave Ricardo a call, explained my predicament, and he told me to stop by for an appraisal. I went in originally thinking that the window could be glued back in; unfortunately, Ricardo explained this could not be done and I would need a new roof. A little despondent at the news, we went to his office where Ricardo proceeded to give me the rundown on the different types of material, the pros and cons, etc. He then proceeded to call around a number of vendors for a quote. From my experience with the Jaguar dealer, I was expecting to pay a small fortune, and was pleasantly surprised at the prices we were quoted for the roof. After finalizing the deal, Ricardo explained that it would be an 8 hour job, and that if I dropped the car off early in the morning I would get it back the same day. Cut forward two weeks: the roof arrived, I dropped off the car, Ricardo gave me a ride home, and eight hours later I returned to see a brand new roof on my Jaguar. It looks amazing. The only caveat... Ricardo advised me not to lower the roof for two weeks to allow the roof to "relax" into its new home. Apparently, they are so tight when first installed, you may not get the roof back up again. Two weeks later, the roof goes down and up again with no problems at all. Great service, excellent knowledge, and a very happy customer. read more

Needed my seat Fixed the first shop I went to was Bascom Upholstery . They were very nice , I needed my door panel fixed as well, the price he gave me on that was $125.00 to $200.00 hundred I didn't like the flexible quote He said just call them and in two days they can have the material , to fix the seat was $ 396.00 I new they would do great work if I chose them. I just didnt like the flexiable quote and the price was a bit high for me. I thought I would drive over to soft tops and see what they would charge. Ricardo is a very nice man and you can tell he is honest about his word ! Ricardo said he could fix both for $268.00. Two days later I dropped the car off and he gave me a ride home and in about 5 hours the same day the car was finished. The seat looks fantastic and the door panel came out fine. The whole experience was smooth as silk . I wouldn't let the area or the shop front at Soft Tops miss lead you they are honest nice and the work they did for me was excellent !! read more

Ricardo (the owner) is a man of his word. My Mustang had a shattered back window and the convertible top had 2 holes. The process of ordering the glass.. having Ricardos company replace the top and glass went ever so smoothly. Beautiful, professional job! I highly recommend this shop and his prices are the BEST. VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!! read more

These guys are amazing! I had a sagging headliner in my GMC truck that dusted the truck out often. Totally a health hazard and annoyance with all the foam dust! I called around a few upholstery shops and Ricardo offered the best quote and explained the job in a friendly manner which just totally sold me. They had a full bay at the time I brought the truck in, but the owner himself jumped on my truck and had it completed in less than 2 hours with zero flaws! It looked totally original. He also recovered my sunvisors with a matching material for a very reasonable extra cost. I plan on bringing a few other cars to him for interior service soon. They specialize in convertible top replacement, but they are experts in all types of auto upholstery including antique restoration. I was amazed by the variety of cars in his shop ranging from 1920 Fords - 2010 Mercedes read more

Not sure about the name here but according to the business card it's called Soft Tops. I wanted to get my front car seat reupholstered and a repair shop I have reviewed here referred me to a guy named Chaba. He said he could redo my front seat at a reasonable price. I went to his shop and chose the materials. Ricardo (the owner) ordered them and Chaba had the car done late the next day. The seat looked great. So great that I had him do the rear seat too. It's a small shop off the beaten path but the quality of work is excellent. read more

Last year I had a new top installed on my 1974 Pontiac Grandville. I also had the seats recovered, new carpet kit, and door panels reconditioned. I feel I got taken for a ride by these guys. I spent $4700.00 for a professional installation that was anything but professional. First off they did a terrible job on the carpet. They used no padding underneath and didn't glue it down, therefore it is lumpy and loose. It looks like total garbage. The seats looked great at first. Now... one year later... the seats covers are falling apart on the stitching. Also the buttons on the tuck and diamond pattern have started falling off! Not to mention the $2100.00 convertible top got a huge tear in it due to the frame not being correct. My complaint is, if it needed attention when the top was installed, you should have informed me then and I could have addressed it! Not sent it out in need of repair so that it rips the $2100.00 top! I had asked them to paint the frame because it was in need of a clean up. They did not paint it. I had to take it back to have them paint it! (That was in the estimate for repairs to be performed). The visors were in need of repair or replacement so we decided to replace one and recondition the other. The replacement visor sags and wont stay up. This is a terrible distraction while driving. You would think with a simple adjustment you could fix this sagging visor. NOT! Its a piece of junk that should have never went into my classic car! One last thing that really put the icing on the cake. When the car was returned I noticed the headrests on the front seats were missing. When I called Ricardo to ask where the headrests were, he informed me that the car didn't have headrests.After pulling up some pics of my car WITH HEADRESTS I about came unglued. I had to take my car back to them numerous times. They attempted to fix the carpet (Still looks like a hack did it!) The visor is still an issue even after asking him to fix it. The headrests are now back on the car and the seats are coming unstitched. If you have a car you love, like i love mine..... DO NOT USE SOFTOPS! They ripped me off and wouldnt or couldnt fix the issues. For $4700.00 I could have had professional work done elsewhere. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!! Considering legal action. read more

This place installed my multi-piece cloth headliner, rear window, and pop-outs on my newly restored 1958 VW Beettle when other "professional" shops wouldn't touch the job. Ricardo and company were fast, reliable, and well worth the price. Thanks! read more

I would give this business 0 stars if I could. Ricardo messed up my 323 BMW. He told me to replace my top & tension straps - per his advice I did and spent $1,400 on the repairs. After that, top never opened/closed properly. He says that he can't fix the issue. Instead, he directed me to shop who is asking me $360 just to diagnose the issue. let alone fix the mess he has created. Per him, he does not guarantee when he does his repairs that a top will open or close properly when installing a new top - he just puts a new top on. Was advising that I should keep my convertible top closed at all times. Worst experience I have ever had.. read more

Went to get a quote for a leak on my 2008 SAAB 9-3 convertible. Ricardo took a look, a little touching on the molding and simply explained he would wipe clean the molding and spray a sealant. He said that should do the trick as we both agree my molding was is good shape (no cracking) & clearly no tears. I was soo hesitant to believe in how simple a cleaning & spray could do. Drove back to work in the rain storm with not a single drip! Thanks Ricardo for explaining how simple a cleaning can be to prevent leaks and the no charge. read more

The team at Soft Tops did a great job fixing my power top. The electric motors had broken and I was advised what parts I needed to get and how much they would charge to replace them. They did a great job in a very short time. It was an hour drive for me to get there, but I'm very happy with their work and will definitely go back if I need more work done in the future. read more

I was told a company is only as good as how they handle a problem. I went to Ricardo with a leaking a rear convertible window. After speaking to Ricardo he suggested that I get a new top instead of fixing the rear window. I paid $1200 for a top install. When I came to pick up my car I noticed that the attention to detail was not there, they had gotten glue on my paint, also some of the trim look to have gotten damaged in the process. Before leaving I asked Ricardo about washing the vehicle and water leakage. He told me if I would like I could go home and spray the car down with water to see if it leaks. I came home and hose the car down only to find that it leaks like a sieve, water was leaking from both side windows and all along the front seal. I called Ricardo back and told him of the problems of the top leaking. Ricardo told me that it would need two weeks of not opening the top so that the top can relax. He originally told me that these tops do not stretch but only shrink. I waited to two weeks as suggested with no improvement the windows do not lineup in the robbers the top is still leaks like a sieve. Ricardo told me to bring it back a week later so that he can make appropriate adjustments. When I brought it back to him to have him make this bad install right he refused to work on the car telling me that it would do no good to loosen the top up. When I asked him for my money he said no way. I have given him the opportunity to make things right. I will be pursuing him in small claims court. read more

Ricardo did work on my Mercedes ML500 a few month back. The seat and armrest had to be repaired and I was in a rush. Ricardo fit me in the next day and got it done before the deadline. Ricardo was professional and the quality of his work exceptional. Price was right too. I highly recommend him and Soft Tops. Thanks again, Ricardo! read more

Ok So its about 2 high end cars 1 it was a 80s convertible Porsche for the soft top to be installed properly cause it was sold to someone in GER so Ricardo did the job PERFECTLY and price was VERY reasonable. 2nd its my own 2000 Range Rover HSE my favorite SUV ever so im bringing it back to 100% shape he did the headliner that was hanging i told him not tan black maybe r darker, he chose the perfect color for the inside looks and feels great and price wa perfect as well. Moral of the comment any car any model this guy does it better than any1 i know, very professional, Thanks!!!!!!!!! read more

Recently had my headliner fixed for my 2007 VW Jetta. They were very flexible with my schedule and made sure that everything went fine. I was updated on the progress which I greatly appreciated. Apparently VW aren't the easiest to work with, so the cost of it wasn't what I hope for, but at least it's fixed and over with! read more

I have used Ricardo for many years. He does all my work truck seat repairs and redid the interior in my 1940 Ford. always good work in a time ly manner at a fair price. I recommend to my friends and I will be dropping off a work truck seat this week for some needed repair. read more

I talked to them on the phone regarding a vehicle that I had. They were super nice, seemed very educated and willing to help. I didn't go down there. ended up selling the vehicle. I believe brought them a vehicle in the past and had a good experience :) read more

We came to this place when a top of a convertible mustang ripped after someone trying to break into the car. We went to Ricardo for a quote and he was very honest with us. He did a very clean and thorough job on the new top. And he was very detailed regarding the top's maintenance procedures. read more

Someone who's been in the biz since 1956 (I was 1 y.o.!) certainly knows how to work on '60's cars, such as my '64 Corvair Spyder. I have a nice car but certain aspects of the top were looking tired, so I felt a new top was in order. Let me say that the install was excellent, and appointment availability and price were right there. Do yourself a favor and visit Richard when your ride is in need of a new top. read more

Ricardo definitely knows his stuff, he helped me choose a new vinyl top for my 92 Miata. The price was fair compared to most places I called around and he uses only quality tops. read more

I could tell right away when I first spoke with Ricardo on the phone that I was dealing with a man of integrity. My BMW E30 was in bad need of a new new convertible top. I called A Soft Tops, Ricardo ordered the top, I drove down from Novato California to San Jose, he dropped me off at a shopping center where I hung out for 8 1/2 hours while he did the job, and all I can say is that it was time damn well spent. Teeters and Schacht (One of the only auto upholstery businesses in the Northbay which happens to be 5 minutes from my house) wanted over double the price of Ricardo's quote!!! That is what's called highway robbery. But I suppose Marin County residents are OK with that so by all means go to Teeters and Schacht if you want to get bent over backwards. But if you'd rather deal with a man who runs a business on ethics, passion, and integrity than take your convertible to Ricardo! It is absolutely worth the drive and the time. read more

Absolutely premium fitment on the soft top, I had my Honda s2000 soft top failing and Ricardo got my new soft top on within 12 hours which is incredible. Can not recommend anyone else more! read more
