I needed a replacement front top hydraulic cylinder for my 2008 Mercedes SLK280, and Top Hydraulics was excellent from start to finish. The cylinder fit right, works perfectly, and the roof is operating smoothly again. What really stood out was the communication from Klaus Witte. He was responsive, clear, and helpful throughout the whole process, which made ordering a specialty part for an older car stress-free. It’s rare to get that level of personal service these days. If you have an SLK with roof hydraulic problems, I highly recommend Top Hydraulics. Thanks, Klaus!

Back in early April, 2025, I purchased a rebuilt BMW f12 convertible top hydraulic pump assembly from Top Hydraulics to replace my weakened, 10 yr old unit. I waited to submit a review until I completed the swap out and used the top for a while this summer. Well, I’ve used the hell out of the top this summer and it’s works perfectly now. Klaus was very helpful answering questions before the purchase and They refunded the core charge very quickly after I retuned it. Great outfit. The pump was very well packaged. Klaus obviously runs a tight ship. A fairly simple swap out and I saved $1600. off the dealer price. Very satisfied, Dennis Barclay Racine, Wi.

Had them send me a full set with a $1000 deposit to be immediately credited back to my account after return of my cores. Of the 11 parts I received from them, 9 appeared brand new and never used while 2 arrived very dirty and definitely appeared used. However, I pressure tested them and they passed so I decided to keep and use them. Top hydraulics received my cores on February 20th and I patiently waited for them to credit my $1000 core deposit back to my account. I heard nothing back from them. After 6 weeks of waiting, I contacted them about it and they wrote back to say my cores were being evaluated. Today on April 11th, I received a $700 credit back to my card instead of the $1000 I had put up front with no explanation whatsoever. I'm glad to have gotten something back....but after all this waiting, not only do I feel shortchanged, but I wondering if I hadn't written them back about my core deposit refund if I would've ever received anything at all? Just not a professional way to run do business. If I had to do it again, I'd have just sent all my cylinders in to be rebuilt by them. That way, you can avoid them hoping to skip out on the core deposit refund or shortchanging you on the back end when it finally does get refunded.

Great and fantastic Service. Klaus is very helpfull, great videos for DIY. Fast shipment, the work is amazing. Cylinder comes with Description how to put the Pipes inside, Spare O-Ring. Fantastic. And the best..low prices!!! Thank you Klaus & Team

Top Hydraulics / tophydraulics.com are the most wonderful company to deal with. Superb knowledge, customer service & prices. I needed to get a new cylinder for the retractable roof on my 1993 Mercedes 500SL. There are 12 cylinders and 1 distributor to lift and close the roof automatically. One part alone was well over €500 through the main Mercedes dealer here. They also recommend that if you need to replace 1 cylinder, you should replace them all. €500 X 13 = Way more than I should have to spend Enter Top Hydraulics. I sent all 13 of my cylinders over to Klaus (who had patiently answered so many of my multiple questions and emails in advance) from Ireland to the US. Within 2 weeks, I had them all sent back to me by courier, completely refurbished to the highest of standards, with fully detailed instructions on how to put them back in. The complete price was for far less than the cost of 2 new cylinders from a MB dealer. Top Hydraulics were an absolute joy to deal with. I love when reality meets or exceeds expectation! This is VERY rare with old car ownership! If you ever need to get any form of hydraulics fixed or assessed in your car, contact Top Hydraulics. You will not in any way, shape or form regret your decision. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
