Overview: Auto Upholstery & Reconditioning
Interior work is trim, not mechanics. A split bolster on the driver's seat, a cigarette burn in the back, a headliner that has let go and rests on your head in August, carpet that smells since a heater core leaked into the footwell. Upholstery shops repair those, and they also recover, restitch and recolor when you want the inside of the car to match the outside. The driver's outer bolster always goes first, because you slide across it every trip. On leather it starts as a crease, turns into a crack, then splits. Caught early it is a repair. Left alone it is a new panel, and matching a new panel to hide that has been fading for years is the hard part of this trade. Convertible roofs are their own specialty. Fabric, rear window, seals and frame all age at different rates, and a shop that does roofs will tell you which one actually failed instead of quoting the lot. Water is the job people leave too long. Mold under the carpet does not dry out on its own, and a car that never dries smells by spring. Listings show what each shop states on its own website about its work and warranties. Trim shops often sit in small units off the main strip, so use the state and city lists below.
