The workshop
Inside the workshop
Convertible and sunroof systems are most of what comes through the workshop, across a wide range of makes and models. The photos show the kind of work involved: diagnosis, rebuilds and sunroof mechanisms.
- Factory-trained technicians. Trained on the systems we service, not learning on your car.
- Diagnosis before quotes. We test with the latest diagnostic equipment and show you what we find. Then you decide.
- OEM & premium aftermarket parts. Fitted right, covered by a parts & labour warranty.

FAQs
If yours isn't here, call. You'll get the same straight answer.
Ask us directly Submit an enquiryMy roof is stuck open right now. What do I do?
Don't force it. Pushing the panel or fabric by hand is how a small repair becomes a rebuild. Call us on 0418 200 289 during opening hours and on most systems we can talk through what to do next over the phone. Then we fix the underlying fault properly in the workshop.
What will it cost?
Repair cost depends on the fault, so we diagnose first, and where we can we'll show you what we found before quoting. You get a written quote (with OEM or premium aftermarket parts and a parts & labour warranty) before any work begins. Nothing happens without your go-ahead.
Do you use genuine parts?
We fit OEM and premium aftermarket parts only. When there's a choice between the two, we'll explain the difference and let you pick, before the work starts, with the price of each in your quote. No mystery parts, ever.
How long does it take?
Turnaround depends on the job (a sunshade is a different animal to a full roof rebuild), so we don't pretend otherwise. What we do promise: your quote comes with a timeframe, parts are confirmed before your car comes in, and roof work is all we do, so your car isn't waiting behind unrelated jobs. Text a photo and we'll give you a realistic estimate up front.
What if it leaks again?
If it leaks again, you bring it back and we fix it under our parts & labour warranty. We don't argue, and we don't charge twice for the same fault. Every leak repair is water-tested before handover (we rain on it before Sydney does), which is why coming back is rare.
Two other shops already had a go. Can you still fix it?
Fixing roofs other shops couldn't is half our work. Roof leaks and stuck mechanisms are genuinely hard to trace: the entry point is often nowhere near where the trouble shows up. We track them with the right diagnostic equipment and two decades of pattern recognition. Tell us what's been tried already. It usually shortens the job.
What's the difference between a roof specialist and a motor trimmer?
A motor trimmer works on the fabric and upholstery side, but a convertible or panoramic roof is also a machine: motors, modules, sensors, cables, hydraulic rams. That machine is our half of the job. We don't do any trimming or upholstery (no soft-top fabric, canvas, rear screens or headliners) but we work right across the mechanism, the electrics and the hydraulics underneath it, and every repair is water-tested before handover. The fabric side is a motor trimmer's; everything that makes the roof move and seal is ours.
Do I need an appointment?
You need an appointment for the actual work: it keeps your quote and timeframe honest. But for an answer? No. Text a photo to 0418 200 289 any time, or drop by 54/58 Princes Hwy, Arncliffe: Mon–Fri 9am–6pm, Sat 9am–4pm.
★★★★★"Michael is the best. My Benz had a seized panoramic sunroof and the motor for the roof died. He had it fixed and working perfectly in three hours. And was by far the most reasonably priced."
★★★★★"Ming did an excellent job fixing a persistent sunroof leak in my Audi Q5. He quickly identified the problem, explained the issue clearly, and had it repaired in no time. The workmanship is great and the leak is completely gone, even after heavy rain. Friendly, professional, and reliable - highly recommend!"
★★★★★"Have a Golf Cabriolet and the roof wouldn’t close completely and worked intermittently. Two other service centres couldn’t fix it and then I took it to Michael and he sorted it out. Reasonably priced and with a friendly and accomodating service -highly recommend!"
★★★★★"Awesome service! These guys are great. Straightforward with no beating around the bush. They do excellent work as well. No joke saved me about $5000 having the sunroof on my Lexus looked at by them!"
★★★★★"Very prompt service. Explained problem and solution clearly. I received a fantastic fix to my Subaru sun roof leak in 2 hours at an affordable price."
★★★★★"Was recommended to take my Clk320 to him to fix a faulty roof. Was quoted almost $2000 more by Mercedes to fix the same fault. Very happy with the price and workmanship. Would highly recommend for anyone needing convertible repairs to see them!"
Before you get in touch
Is this the right workshop
for your
car?
You're in the right place if
- You've got a convertible, sunroof or panoramic roof that's leaking, stuck, noisy or losing fluid, and you want it diagnosed properly.
- You want the fault fixed properly, with the diagnosis explained, not guessed at. A roof has a lot of moving parts; we fix the one you came in for and tell you honestly what may need attention later.
- You're happy to book it in and leave it with us when the job calls for it. Some repairs are quick and only take a few hours but others are more methodical and need longer.
- You’d rather pay a fair, competitive price for expert work than gamble on a cheap quote that relies on shortcuts.
We're probably not your shop if
- You insist on a firm, final price before anyone's seen the car. Some faults we can quote over the phone; plenty we have to look at first.
- You only need the fabric re-covered or re-stitched. That's a motor trimmer's trade, not ours.
- The lowest number is the only thing that matters. We'll match a fair price when we can do the job well, but we won't under-diagnose or cut corners to be cheapest.
- You'd expect us to pour money into a roof worth more than the car without a word. We'll always tell you honestly and upfront whether a repair is worth it. The call is yours, but you'll have the full picture first.
If that's your car and how you'd want it handled, we'd like to hear from you. Start an enquiry below, or call 0418 200 289.
