Buck531 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Anyone know what the general cost of getting a seat recovered is? Maybe a steering wheel? Yes, I know I could call them but just wondering if anyone had any real experience with auto upholstery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 J&J Auto Upholstery in Franklinton Yep. This place is literally right up the road from my work. I've heard good things and I see some neat cars outside sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know I could call them but just wondering if anyone had any real experience with auto upholstery. J&J quoted me $225 for a redone foam and totally reupholstered (seatback and seatbottom) bench seat in vinyl for Cleetus ('82 Ford F-100). It would've been around $150 to have just the ripped bottom done. I found a worn-but-untorn red cloth seat out of a 1995 F-150 for $85. I'm inclined to just go that route.

zeitgeist57 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Jim's Trim Shop 614.231.3604 Oh yes...this shop did my FiL's '02 Z06 (which Tom now has!) drivers' side bolster after it cracked due to wear. They did a great job, and their shop was old-school cool with projects. That's it, CR....that's all I got for upholstery insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 are you looking for something custom? or do you just want to fix a ripped cover? you might be better served ordering a DIY kit from a place like https://www.leatherseats.com/home/ and just recovering the seat yourself. I did a seat in my GTO years ago with hog ring pliers and it wasn't difficult at all, the new stuff usually just slips over and secures with Velcro. Leatherseats.com offers new covers for 2005-2011 vettes, I don't know what year you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I order material online and drop headliner cardboard and my material off and they take care of rest. Great people good work and good pricing.
