I am the owner of a upholstery shop in Tampa that also repairs convertible top operation repairs. We have used several other shops for hydraulic rebuilds and we have even done them ourselves. After seeing the work Zig and crew do, haven't looked back in 7 years. They are quick, helpful and fair priced. Highly Recommended!

Excellent service from beginning to end! Excellent instructions were provided for removal of old hydraulic cylinders, and installation of the rebuilds. And the rebuilds for my 2000 Porsche 996 Cab are working perfectly. This is the company to work with if you have problems with your hydraulic cylinders.

There is a reason these guys are all 5 star reviews. Excellent product, superb staff (Zig knows his $h*t). 03 SL500 needed a hyd. line in roof repaired. 2 couplers and 12" of line. Job done one hour start to finish and saved me big money. Thanks Guys, Barry Feltmann.

Zig & crew are THE BEST! We have been sending convertible top cylinders and pumps to them for years and have received phenomenal service EVERY time. We couldn't be more pleased with their services & our customers couldn't be more pleased with the savings on repairs! Besides that, when you get the repaired parts back they look like new!

My name is Kevin and I own a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL550. My retractable roof stopped working, after during some research on my car's problem I came across Cabriolet Hydraulics, so I called and spoke with the owner, he told me he knew exactly what was wrong and to bring my car to his shop, I was reluctant because this car is my baby and I only drive it on special occasions, but taking my car to Cabriolet Hydraulics was the best decision that I ever made, because these guys really know what they are doing and to add to there excellence there customer service and politeness is impeccable. Lastly, the

I did a DIY replacement of the hydraulic cylinders on my 99 Porsche Cab recently. I was "inspired" to do so in part because of the excellent 'how-to-remove' directions Cabriolet Hydraulics provides on their web site. The cylinders came out as planned, got shipped off to them and were rebuilt/back within the promised turnaround time. The installation directions and extra washers, fluid, etc. were all great. Great work by them with a great warranty.
