Rich & Famous Auto Tops

I brought my Porsche 911 to this shop based on good reviews on Unilocal.Big mistake.
Apparently, they buy advertising on Unilocal and Unilocal has «filtered» bad reviews that you have to see only after going to the «non-​recommended» reviews. It’s a SCAM.
I paid these people a lot of money based on their repuation to replace my top, but despite multiple tries and efforts by me to get them to do the job right, they could never get the top right or even functioning the way it did when I brought it in. It is totally broken!!! I have to manually move it up and down and there’s big gaps where rain can get in. I think they bent the freaking frame!
John, the owner, keeps saying, let us have the car another few days…
You’ve taken a month fool, what else are you going to do?
Also, one of their guys apparently dropped a heavy object on my car the last time they had it, and when I went to pick up the car, they didn’t even acknowledge it. They were hoping I would drive off and not notice that they had damaged my car. Now it needs to be painted, which will probably diminish the value 20 grand.
I wish I had never gone to these guys. They suck at what they do and LIE. They need to be shut down!

John and the expert and respectful staff over at Rich & Famous Auto Tops have been a mainstay of high level detail and show winning quality for me for some 17 years.
That’s real consistency and longevity in a town where many business in the automotive industry are here today and gone and vanished tomorrow.
(many times with your money or car in pocket)
R&F has been at the same location and open every Monday through Friday doing top quality interior trim work and masterful convertible top restoration and even can fix your sun roof if it’s not working properly.
As a high level collector and restoration specialist of Porsche and American Muscle Cars.
I am always seeking the very best quality and detail in my various projects.
John has a keen eye for detail and a highly skilled staff that can execute my wildest ideas and designs.
You too will find the staff friendly and respectful and highly motivated to make and keep the customer happy with the work.
Rich & Famous Auto Tops have been my «go to guys» for years and the quality has never diminished over that span of time.
The work is so good and the detail is so precise that I feel remiss that I haven’t written a review soon ENOUGH for this outstanding Automotive Trim Shop.
No hype.
Just EXCELLENT quality work product coming out of the shop with fantastic customer service and a highly motivated staff who cares about your project.
At Rich & Famous Auto Tops quality is job one!
Make sure to ask for John or his brother Sai or operations manager Ruben when you get there.
You won’t be disappointed with the high quality of the results that you will get from doing business with RICH & FAMOUS AUTO TOPS!

I was lucky to find this place. I was looking and looking for a place to have my 1998 BMW m3 convertible top replaced. I also opted to convert my electrical two motor top system into a simple manually operated top as they can be very cumbersome. First off they gave me the lowest quote of everyone in the Southern California area. I called about 10 places and rich and famous beat all competitors quotes by anywhere from $ 100 to $ 600. And that was with the conversion included which requires some custom modification. I got domestic sailcloth and it looks just as good as the new dealer tops. The car was dropped off on Wednesday night and ready Friday morning! They did not cut any corners, the top is fitted perfectly, and the car has a much better appearance now. RICH AND FAMOUS manufactures their own upholstery products and sell to auto upholstery installers, just skip the middleman! Don’t be fooled by the other auto upholstery places, they are mostly middle men that don’t fabricate the top just install them! And charge you more for the top.

R&F repaired the top on my XJS convertible. I had actually gone there to inquire about restoring the seat leather and asked them about a spot on the rear of the back seat that the convertible top was constantly rubbing on opening/​closing. John advised me that one of the straps in the top needed replacement or else any repair of the seat back would be a waist of time. The shop repaired the top and recovered the seats in matching leather. The work was very good. It did take a bit longer than expected (most good work does) and then the front office miscommunicated to me the date it would be finished. When I arrived and it wasn’t done, they offered me a free rental for the day to bridge the time until it would be finished. I would definitely use them again. The repair costs were cheaper than another auto upholstery place I had used previously.
The body shop also did very good work on my girlfriend’s car.

I have gone here a few times and have recommended others to go as well. I have always had a great experiance with Rich and famous auto tops. I have a 99 BMW M3 Conv. they replaced my TOP with a new Green top. i got the optional tinted rear plastic window. The new top is still in great condition 4 years later! i didnt take good care of the rear window so now needed repair. I have gone back for a new rear window and will take better care by using the recommended plastic window cleaner that helps keep the plastic solf and clear. I have also had them replace the motors for the top, Everyone is always very friendly and professional. the prices are right and work is always top notch! I have a few other friends that have also gone here after mine recommendation and they have all had great results! THANK YOU RICH AND FAMOUS! :)
