Car Seat Repair and Reupholstery

A seat rarely fails all at once. The driver’s bolster goes first because it takes the weight of every entry and exit, and the rest of the interior is often untouched. Repairing to the nearest seam keeps the original material everywhere it is still doing its job.

When a seat does need reupholstering outright, the work starts underneath. Springs get repaired or replaced, foam is reshaped or rebuilt, and the frame is checked before any new material goes on. A reupholstered seat sitting on tired foam will look worn again within a season.

Thousands of factory cloth, vinyl, and leather variations sit on the showroom shelves, so a color and grain match is rarely a special order, even on vehicles well out of production.

Collapsed foam is replaced or built back up. Foam is skived by hand, shaved down to a taper so bolsters and edges blend into the cushion the way they should, and the shop has the hand tools to cut whatever shape a seat calls for.

Burst spring sets and worn-out webbing are rebuilt, and frames that have lost their tension are re-tied. When a frame needs metalwork, the machine shop on site takes care of it.

If you have always wanted the bolsters firmer, or the cushion softer, than the factory built them, ask. With the seat stripped to the frame, that is the time to change it.

Work truck, van, and semi seats are regular work here. They get heavy-duty vinyl or ballistic cloth, chosen for the hours they actually spend under a driver rather than how they look on a showroom shelf.

Running a fleet? We set up fleet accounts for companies that need a batch of seats done on a schedule. See Commercial and Industrial Upholstery.

Seats from boats, bikes, equipment, and campers have their own pages: Boat Seat Upholstery, Motorcycle, Powersports, and Equipment Seats, and RV and Camper Upholstery.

Can you repair just the damaged part of a seat?

Yes. Sectional repairs to the nearest seam replace only the worn or damaged panel, such as a driver’s side bolster, and keep the original material everywhere else.

Can you match the original seat material?

Usually. Thousands of factory cloth, vinyl, and leather variations sit on the showroom shelves, so a color and grain match is rarely a special order, even on vehicles well out of production.

Do you repair leather seats?

Yes. Cracked leather, burn holes, split seams, and worn bolsters are all regular work.

What if the foam or springs are shot?

They get rebuilt before any new material goes on. Collapsed foam is replaced or reshaped, spring sets and webbing are rebuilt, and frames are re-tied.

Do you repair truck and semi seats?

Yes, in heavy-duty vinyl or ballistic cloth. Companies with several vehicles can set up a fleet account.
