    I would stay away from Degreeves. I let them replace the soft top on my S2000 and they scratched the paint in multiple areas, did not put the interior panels back together properly, left out some of the panel clips and used aftermarket clips that didn't fit properly, cracked some interior panels, and the person working in the shop was quite rude and unprofessional.

    I've gone back a few times to talk to the owner Darryl so they could make it right and fix their mistakes. Their attention to detail is quite poor. After they attempted their "fix", I found new scratches on both the interior and exterior panels. I didn't want to go back because I was sick of their lack of care towards my property.

    In addition, the shop employee complained about how Honda used shitty plastic panels on the S2000 unlike "German" cars which have leather. He also complained how there is no space in the S2000 to do the work properly. If it was not possible for them to replace my soft top without causing damage they should've told me ahead of time rather then telling me they've done multiple S2000 soft tops and they're "easy". Yet when I went back to show them the damage the story changed to "this is one of the hardest tops to replace".

    I was seriously thinking of bringing my S2000 over to Degreeve to get the soft top done too. Good thing I read this.

    Looks like CR Techniques and Chinook Auto Upholstery are sister companies.

    Any other recommendations?

    I've used CR before (for vinyl repair) they did a very good job.
