[Miata] Top installer in Buffalo, NY, Erie, PA or NE Ohio area

[Larry Alster]

I did my first top in under 8 hours and that was in a car with a full rollbar with a harness bar.  It was well worth the 8 hours of my time to me to save even 300 dollars but more than likely at least 500 dollars.  Would I do any for other people, no.  Would I do mine again, yea.

    Hi Folks

    My 1995 needs a new top.  I went to a local shop today and got a quote 
    of $1120.  As near as I was able to determine about $700 of this was 
    labor (and possibly mark up on the top).  Based on what I've read on the 
    Miata.net site, this seems to be somewhat high.  First, is this what it 
    really costs these days?  And second, can anyone recommend an installer 
    in the Western New York, Northwest PA or Northeastern OH? 

  Once again I will suggest you look in the Yellow Pages of your phone book for "Auto Seat Covers, Tops & Upholstery". 

  BTW, when I contacted a local auto upholstery shop (recommended by the Mazda dealer) they wanted $300 (labor) to install a Miata top. Of course that is in Topeka, Kansas...

  Start calling around.
