Hi. Looking for any recommendation on places for work on the interior (carpet,seats, dash,etc..) also soft top. Any decent reliable places in the Southern California that you guys might have had a good experience with.

Call John at German Auto Tops. Even though his business is now owned by GAHH he has served many W113 owners and still fulfills orders. You buy the product from him then ask him for installer referrals. He knows youa few guys who can do it.

What year is your car?

John and 4 of his guys now work for GAHH but he still takes calls and orders as GAT. I just spoke to him in the last 2 weeks. The old GAT location is now closed. I visited him in 2019 then went to see an installer he recommended. The installers name is Tigran. He had a Pagoda in this shop and seemed to know what he was doing.
