Does anyone have recommendations for a convertible top place in Jacksonville? Looking on craigslist, some advertise as low as $745 installed w/defroster glass - and that seems a little too good to be true.

I live in Savannah, GA. Basically, there are two places here that replace convertible tops. I've used both of them and was less than satisfied both times. Both want $1450.00 for vinyl top replacement w/defroster glass (including pads and side cables) on a 98 Mustang and if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want a place that will do top-notch work. I don't mind having to stay overnight in a motel if need be.

So, any recommendations on a place in Jacksonville for top-quality convertible top replacement?

Thanks.

Thanks, CTS2010. I'll call some of those places tomorrow to see how they compare (in price) to one another and to ask about references.

I'd still like to hear a review from someone who has used some of these installers. While price is a consideration, I'm primarily looking for a high-quality install. (I noticed that neither one of the places that advertised so cheaply on Craigslist is in that list of installers who have been approved by Robbins - and probably for a reason.)

Any others in Jacksonville with personal experience with any of these installers?

Thanks.

We have used both Sargent and Davis and have no complaints. I prefer Davis but it was not due to any quality issues just my preference. Davis did our 96 Mustang a few years back and I believe all you are quoting was $750.00 for us. Davis and Sargent are two of Jacksonvilles top choices for a lot of people.

This is the best place, by far, in the city.

They've been doing it a long time, they're very good, and they're reasonable:
