Seat upolstery price question July 25, 2006, 03:45:18 PM I know that I need to have the front seat bottoms re-upolstered because the leather has cracked. I went to the local upolstery shop and they said that to re-upolster the two front seat bottoms with immitation leather would be about $400. Does this seam reasonable or is it too high? If some of you have experience in this area I would appriciate any input you have. Thanks in advance. Quote Selected
Seat upolstery price question Reply #1 – July 25, 2006, 04:16:03 PM Mmmm...it may be a tad high, but you're also in a major city, and that's probably the going rate out there. Ask them if you take the seats out yourself and bring in just the bottoms, if they'll give you a discount. Sometimes that works great--less work for them, a little more work for you, but a smaller bill in the end. Are you getting the entire bottom redone, or just the ass area? Quote Selected
Seat upolstery price question Reply #2 – July 25, 2006, 04:20:50 PM That's the estimate taking the seats out of the car and taking them to the guy. I'm just getting the place where you put your butt redone on both seats. The leather is bad but the vinyl on the rest of the seat is good. Quote Selected
Seat upolstery price question Reply #3 – July 25, 2006, 04:34:22 PM Ouch...well...personally I think that's a little high. I'd pay $200-300 tops for something like that. Then again, where I live the cost of living is a lot lower. I guess it's all relative. Do you have other places where you can get estimates? Quote Selected

He showed me the material he's going to use and it's almost dead on for what's on the seats now. I think I'm going to go with this guy. Quote Selected
