Does anyone know anyone or have any hookups on upholstery/leather Seat repair either I the LA or SD area?
I got quoted at $320 to fix my seat :-/

 

I know a place in SGV replacing the whole seat leather for $250. they have more options on the type and quality of the leather.

 

name of business? number and contact?

 

Yes. The passenger seat of my ridgeline got something spilled on it and now the leather is cracking (no matter how much I try and condition the shit out of the leather). So, I will eventually be needing to replace that... plus I need to redo the kidney bolster on the driver seat as well.

 

Anyone?

 

:bump:

 

me too i have a small rip just like yours

 

I know Tj can range from very scary to excellent.
Have you any leads down there? I can work on it if you'd like.

 

Bump anyone?

 

I need some upholstery work done as well...

 

its getting worse :-/


ANYONE?

 

Damn I thought mine was bad, yours is worse lol and yours is an 08, damn.

 

The previous owner scuffed up the seat pretty bad. possibly wit the zipper off a jacket

 

Looks like he scuffed it with a box cutter lol

 

^+1 lol

 

Ernie's One Stop in Santa Ana. Oh and he's mobile as well. I don't have the number though

 

If you're willing to come out here, in Fontana there is a place called The Upholstery Shop, however they just changed their name to that so it will be easier to find if you look for Jose's Upholstery. It's off of Alder and Foothill, kind of. They quoted me 150 per seat for just the bottom part, never got around to it yet though. The number is (909) 823-8141

 

Jims Auto Upholstery
In the san diego area.
This there address and number.
7902 Armour St, San Diego, CA
(858) 268-8531

Every place quoted me like the same price for that one area which is stupid and he quoted me around 170. There booked for like 2 weeks straight, I just made an appointment for the 16th, Ill show a before and after picture. My seat is worst than yours lol.

 

Try Kenny's auto upholstery in Mission Viejo in the OC. They do a lot of the dealers in the area (acura, infiniti, audi, jaguar, lexus). They did both my cars, inf. and toy.

I actually work in Fontana now. Been away from Aline for a minute now and haven't gotten a chance to check the thread. I'm one of the Marine Recruiters for Fontana. I'll check it out. Do you know what the turn around is?

 

Bump. Any reputable shops in LA?

 

Got it fixed this week at Fontana Upholstery

 

WOW! It looks like new! How much did they charge ya and how much time did they need?

 

They repaired it in one day after waiting a couple of weeks for the Materials to come in. Total for materials, perforation and labor was about $220

 

Any pics of the work? how was the experience?

 

got my seats fixed:



After:

 

Seats look good, George!

 

where did you go to get your seats fixed paperboy?

 

Prices!?

 

I went to arthur's auto upholstery in pasadena. Great price, turnaround time was only about 6 hours. I dropped it off at 10am and they had it done by 4pm. Price was $250 for the whole bottom silver section which is more than fair considering the other quotes I have gotten.

Btw, I found out about them through sierra acura dealership. I asked the employee there who's there go-to guy for leather repair. When I got to the shop he confirmed that he has worked on a lot of acura seats

 

TL seats are garbage. Made from glue and rat hair.

 

Wow they look great. Does anyone know a cheap shop here in my Miami Florida? the driver and passenger side are both cracked I dont know if its the sweat or what but Acura makes horrible bottom seats

 

Wow seats came out great guys! Hate that acura went with perforated leather for the seats.. They're more prone to damage more quickly.

Are there any other shops?

 

Nice time to take my seats in... Pasadena seems close!

 

Paperboy hows the leather holding up? Does the feel, and color of the replacement leather same as the oem. I had a friend that got his seat leather replaced and its noticeably softer.

 

when the leather was first replaced the color was maybe like a shade off from oem, but as time passed, I cant even tell a difference anymore. It's like the color match got better with time. It makes sense because new leather does color fade a bit.
Feel-wise its pretty good, I guess it is a little bit softer than stock, but that's not a bad thing because the stock leather is quite hard. I have absolutely no complaints

 

Update!!!
Passenger seat started ripping as well so I decided to get both seats redone. They even replaced the piece they had recently done to make sure the color matched and they even re padded the center arm rest.

 

nice!

 

here's how mine's holding up 9 months later, as you can see the match is pretty much exact unless you're looking for it.

 

Nice updates. I will probably take mine to Pasadena since Fontana is a bit of a drive.
