Seat Repair & Reupholstery in Irving

Tears, cigarette burns, split seams and collapsed foam — rebuilt panel by panel and matched to the rest of your interior.

Driver seat bolster rebuilt with a new matched leather panel

Seats are where an interior wears out first

Every time you slide in, the driver-side bolster takes the hit. Fabric thins, leather cracks along the seams, foam collapses and the seat starts to sag. A seat cover hides the problem for a while; a proper repair removes it.

Most seat damage doesn’t need a whole new seat. A single worn panel can be cut out and replaced with matching material, a burn can be patched so it disappears, and tired foam can be rebuilt so the seat holds its shape again. When a seat is past saving, it can be fully reupholstered.

What we repair

  • Tears and split seams in cloth, vinyl and leather — the panel is replaced and re-stitched rather than glued.
  • Cigarette burns and holes — repaired so they blend into the surrounding material.
  • Worn driver-side bolsters — the most common job on trucks and daily drivers.
  • Sagging or collapsed foam — rebuilt so the seat supports you again.
  • Full reupholstery — new covers for one seat or the whole interior, including classic bench seats.

How a seat repair works

  1. Look at the damageBring the car by or send photos on WhatsApp. You get an honest read on whether a repair or a new cover makes more sense.
  2. Match the materialFabric, vinyl or leather is matched in colour and texture to the rest of the seat.
  3. Strip and rebuildThe cover comes off, the damaged panel is cut out and replaced, and the foam is repaired if it needs it.
  4. Stitch and refitNew seams are sewn to follow the factory lines, and the seat goes back in tight.

What affects the price and timing

The size of the damage, the material and whether the seat has to come out of the vehicle all change the job. Customers regularly mention single-seat repairs finished the same day; full reupholstery takes longer. You get a price before any work starts.

I cannot recommend Tony highly enough. He did a great job repairing (by sewing in a new, substitute piece of fabric) the seat on my daughter’s Subaru Crosstrek (from what I could tell, he could open a shop just dealing with Subaru seat repairs, as Subaru uses a fabric that tears easily). He was also very pleasant to deal with. Thank you, Tony.

Tony did a fantastic job reupholstering our driver side front car seat! He got it done the same day and perfectly matched the material too :)

Tony cleaned one seat and repaired a cigarette burn in another. He's a perfectionist and worked hard to return my seat s to near-new condition. I was impressed and the price was very reasonable.

Tony is certainly one of the best in the business! Met him before the pandemic and after wards he remembered me and we clicked like it was yesterday. Took my Acura with its jacked up seats and made an 07 look like a 2020. Highly recommended he knows his stuff and his price is decent. Upholstery work is not cheap but with Tony the value exceeds the cost with a 1 year warranty

Went to get my GLK 350 touched up. Tony is definitely the man to go to. He’s easy to deal with and his craftsmanship really shows. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for an auto upholstery repair. He gave me an estimate of 4 hours to complete the job but he castes some spells and got it done in less than 2 hours. The result is really outstanding. Thank you Tony.

FAQ

Seat repair questions

Can you repair just one panel instead of the whole seat?

Yes. Replacing a single worn or torn panel is the most common seat repair, and the new piece is matched to the material around it.

Can a cigarette burn really be fixed?

Yes. Customers have had burns repaired so they’re hard to find afterwards. Send a photo and you’ll get a straight answer on what’s possible.

Do I have to leave my car for days?

Many single-seat repairs are finished the same day. Larger reupholstery jobs take longer — you’ll get a time estimate when the seat is inspected.
