Finding the Right Upholsterer for Your Car

Do you need to reupholster your classic car? Before you do, here is some valuable advice to help you get started:

Research Your Shops – Instead of just choosing a random shop off the Internet, you should take time to research the shop before giving them your business. Read reviews on Angie’s List and other review websites, take a look at the pictures they have provided of their past upholstery jobs, and speak with other classic car collectors about the people they use for upholstery.

Figure Out Your Budget – It’s vital that you know about your budget ahead of time before you start the upholstery process. If you are a collector and money is no object, then go ahead and start setting up installations. If not, you should talk to upholsterers about your needs and get a quote for their services.

Don’t Skimp on the Materials – You should always use only the best materials available when you do upholstery on your classic vehicle. When you use cut-rate fabric, you may see damage to your seats within a year of installation. It’s a waste of money to use anything less.
