^^ This should answer your question

 

not really

 

He works for a nice shop off Dale Mabry and does them in less than a days time by himself. Not bad too if you ask me.

 

Not any money to be made in the Convertible Top industry, for guys that will do one here, one there (us). For someone that has tops in stock, or access to them locally, and has staff to be able to support that operation - it will be successful just like anything else. But unfortunately, it's just Uncle & I, plus we just brought on a Detail Division for the business, so we don't have someone to do Tops, and we don't have the ability to beat the internet pricing of the Tops that you can get through google searching. Which is our biggest competitor when trying to price-shop these types of installs.

Tommy, sorry if you took it as me saying he was a half-ass-jobber or something. I wasn't implying that at all bud. Simply showing that based on exactly what you posted, we don't have any margin for profit.

 

For those that don't know - there is a lot of tedious work involved with top install, frame fixes, alignment issues, sealing properly so no leaks, etc. etc. And at the amount of time it takes to install them, and 110% be able to guarantee all our work, and buy the top - by that time, we've easily superceeded the costs of other shops that stock tops, or again, have access to tops locally. We don't do/have either.

 

No..not takin that way bro. I was just saying, a few hun. in less than a day not too shabby jobber or bus. There is an art to it and it isnt easy by no means.

 

It is a bitch,

I had rather R & R and engine!

 

Good deal man; yes it is tedious, and it is an art-form all on its own. We would just rather leave the Tops to the Top Guys!
