Harry’s Auto Top and Upholstery

Not only is Harry great at what he does but he is a GOOD person. He went WAY above and beyond (more on that below). He’s clearly a hardworking man that isn’t out to gouge you. I needed a small stitch job on the seat in my Mini Cooper and while he doesn’t typically do tiny jobs like mine, he did it and did it for less than his minimum charge. But what really got me was the repair he did that had nothing to do with upholstery repair: he fixed my glove box for free (whereas the Mini service dpt wanted to charge me $ 700). I didn’t ask him to do it, he just did it. He’s a good, kind, honest man that is great at what he does (and then some). I’ve since taken my car back in to have the center console reupholstered. He’s what I imagine businesses were like back in the 50’s.

called and asked harry if he could repair the top on my CLK 320 he was rude, and said I don’t don’t do magic and can’t do it. Didn’t suggest anything else. Unprofessional and rude.

FINALLY… an HONEST repair man! My Jaguar XK convertible needed repair. Soooo I drive to the Certified Jaguar Shop (Hornburg Jaguar). They quote me over $ 3000 to replace the convertible pump motor! Feeling they were being «shady», I looked elsewhere to do the repair. I found Harry’s! And thank GOD I did! He’s a busy man, but tells me if I’m patient, he’ll be happy to slide me into his schedule. I wait a couple of weeks and Harry (owner) gives me the thumbs up to bring my car. I tell him what Hornburg Jaguar said about the repair. Harry tells me, «even if it’s worse case scenario» he can do it cost effectively. WOW. Too good to be true? Within a few hours, Harry calls me and says my convertible top is repaired. He adds that Hornburg Jaguar was wrong. The hydraulic motor was working fine. The car’s computer needed to be reset. That’s it! AND it only cost me $ 400! Harry, you just saved me thousands! He could have lied to me like the dealer did and make me pay for unnecessary parts and labor, but he’s HONEST! You have my business, and anyone I know, forever! Well done!

I asked around, I shopped around, and was getting the same run around from the others in town.
I choose to keep my car in the state it left the factory, so when the headliner began to sag I was frustrated to be told time and time again that the exact material was not available. Many said I’d be better off with a used headliner from a donor car, or would have to recover the headliner and the sunroof panel and the pillars with a material that wasn’t very close in texture or in color. A friend who is as OCD as I am up in Portland had gone through the same search months earlier and caved.
That kind of laziness and acceptance of just doing whatever works is not what happens in this shop. My mechanic pointed me here, knowing I was detail oriented and that many of the cars that end up at concours d’elegance have paid a visit here as well.
He got the exact material the factory uses, and he didn’t take the car in until he knew he had time to do it properly. Not only that, but he talked me out of doing the sunroof panel as well, saving me hundreds in the process. I enjoyed speaking to him when I went to check out the shop, and each time I spoke to him during the process. The new headliner if anything felt better and plusher than before, so much so the clearance between it and the sun visors was reduced. Not a complaint, but rather a sign that corners weren’t cut.
Just told my brother not to spend what Tesla charges to do a headliner upgrade when ordering a car and to do it here instead — and when the insurance adjuster came recently to asses the value of my car (hit at a red light pretty badly and possibly totaled after 20 years of such obsessive care) he didn’t notice it was not a factory one and marked it as «excellent.»
I’m so glad I didn’t go with anyone else, and that I waited to get it done here. I’m pretty certain you will be too.

My convertible had a close encounter with the garage door and was about half an inch short of closing for the past month. I had a couple of friends look at it, but we couldn’t get it closed.
A friend took it to a place to get an estimate and he said they didn’t even touch the car. The other place just threw out a number and said the fabric of the top should be replaced, too, even though it’s in excellent condition.
Last week a homeless man jumped into my open car so closing it became a top priority. I researched online and found Harry’s. All I can say is there’s a reason this place gets excellent reviews.
I called and drove over late in the afternoon. He and his employee Lewis started working to get the top manually closed. They pulled out their tools and kept patiently working at it while explaining how it worked and why it wasn’t closing. I was really impressed that they took the initiative like that.
They got it closed and locked down. I was so relieved. Thank you, Harry! They spent at least half an hour working on it and when I offered to pay he told me not to worry about it. That said so much about his character. I’m working on the insurance red tape, so it will be going back to Harry’s asap to get fixed. It’s the only place I trust.

Harry’s the best! Took great care of me & my Saab!

This review is long over due. I think it’s been over 2 years since he helped me.
My S2000 OEM rag top was showing signs of an inevitable tear. It wasn’t cut all the way through yet, but it would have if left alone.
I took it to Honda in Downtown Los Angeles, and the guy in not so many words implied that I could have cut it myself. He wouldn’t even try to look at it.
Anyhow, I found Harry through
and good thing I did.
I called Harry and told him the issue, and as expected, he asked me to bring it in so he could look at it. I brought it in and he starting diagnosing the issue. Immediately, he found a part of the frame that was not smooth where it makes contact with the top. This was obviously a Honda Manufacturing defect, but I decided to let Harry fix it. He sanded down the frame and then reinforced the top from the inside to prevent any further tearing of my top. I had this car for a year or 2 after the repair and I never had a problem.
His price was more than fair. I would definitely recommend him.

I was referred to Harry’s shop by a local body shop that I have taken my other cars to that specializes in high end automobiles. I took my Mercedes Benz CLK 320 convertible to Harry to have the top replaced. Harry is super friendly, courteous and professional. He was able to fit me in within 24 hours notice and his price has far less than the other 2 quotes I had gotten. Harry got the work done within a few days as promised — he actually got it done sooner than expected within the time frame he gave me. Harry did a meticulous job with the installation of my new top and it looks as if it was installed at the factory when the car was built.
I highly recommend Harry’s Auto Top and Upholstery!
Thanks you Harry for taking care of me and my car.

I use Unilocal constantly but rarely write reviews but here’s to paying it forward and if there’s any place that I should review — its Harry’s Top & Upholstery.
Both the workmanship and his service are top-​notch.
I had the top for my Porsche 997 replaced here. Harry did a great job with the top and suggested a liner from an OEM that was much cheaper based on prior experience. When I showed him that it didnt quite fit right, he called up the manufacturer who sent him a new liner. He replaced it for free. But when he discovered himself, that it still wasnt quite right, he did the work a third time replacing it with the manufacturer part (again free of labor costs).
This type of old-​world «pride in quality» you rarely see and I have been very happy with the results and the entire experience at Harrys. I am happy to recommend him enthusiastically to friends, family and anyone else.

The best upholstery ever period. Honest and skilled. What do you need more? I do not write review often, but when i do, it is usually the best or the worst of kinds. Highly recommended!

I didn’t actually have any repairs done here, but I did get an estimate about a repair — and I’m writing this review about that experience. I have a small tear in the leather of my car’s passenger seat, and I wanted to know how much it would cost to fix, and if I really NEEDED to get it fixed. (I was worried about the tear getting worse if not fixed.) Harry could have tried to make some money for himself by telling me I absolutely had to have this repair done or it would lead to more expensive repairs in the future. But Harry told me, «You can just leave it, and at worst, if it gets really bad you can fix it and it won’t cost any more to fix it than it would now.» I really respect a place that is honest with you and doesn’t try to take advantage of you to make a buck. So if I do need a fix, I’ll be bringing my car back to Harry.

Harry showed me how to fix the problem with my convertible top and didn’t charge me! (sadly it was an aftermarket top replaced by someone else.) I really wish the prior owner of my car had had the convertible top replaced here. Harry is a nice guy who knows what he is doing and won’t charge you unless he does work.

Harry is the best. He is very kind and quick. The work was great and I could not find better prices.

Harry is such a kind and patient man. He did excellent work on my convertible top and was very reasonable with his rates. I came back in for adjustments and a patch where something rubbed and he was so accommodating. He even noticed some drains in the sides of my car needed cleaning and fixed those. It is like going to a family friend to have custom work done. He is a true craftsman.

Harry, replaced the headliner of my BMW. He did an excellent job and it took him 2 days and well worth it.
He is the kindest person that I have worked with on my car. He is patient, explains things very well and refuses to use shoddy materials on your car which you will appreciate once he completes the project. His shop is small, but he is diligent and has very good clients, so he can afford to take his time. I had to go back to him 3 times before he would consider working on my dash board and my headliner. Now if I can talk him into replacing the weatherstripping on the windows and the roof of the car.
Wish me luck!
He’s really someone you should visit if you need some work done on your car’s upholstery.

Need your auto convertible top repaired? Take it to Harry, who personally works on everything himself. This guy is as honest as the day is long! My top wouldn’t close and other people were talking about replacing the enitre frame which would have cost minimum $ 2000. (Ouch!) Harry adjusted some bolts and fixed it for under $ 200. You can’t beat it!
