They say that you can’t judge a book by its cover! Yes, it is unfortunate that the first thing that attracts people is “covering”. However good the thing inside the cover is, people will not check it out until and unless the cover is impressive. I guess the same rule applies to cars as well. The engine can be fantastic and is giving you a smooth ride, but if the design of the car, including the upholstery, interiors and exteriors seem as if the car is just out of the junk yard, nobody will want to drive it. It may not be safe either in some situations to drive such a battered car. This is especially so when you are selling the car off or getting an evaluation done on your car. In such a situation, if there are some repairing tasks regarding the upholstery, it warrants an auto upholstery repair.
Auto Leather Upholstery Repair
What kind of tools you use and how tedious it is going to be depends on the spot and extent of damage. A small tear on the car seat cover or the back of the seat will not be much of a problem.
Repairing a Tear
For a simple tear, you can replace a specific section or area with a matching material in vinyl, leather or fabric.
An 'Edgy' Rip
In case the auto upholstery has been damaged on the seam close to the edge, the seam can be sewn and/or welt cord can be replaced.
Burns and All
The auto upholstery repair would be the same as above, the section or area can be replaced with a material to match as close to the existing as possible.
Some Tips for Auto Upholstery Repair
Whether you get the auto upholstery repair done from Danny’s Upholstery in Virginia Beach or try to do the seat repair on your own there are some things which need to be kept in mind.
Tip 1
Never ignore the surface material. It is good to have an array of choices within the surface material for matching with what you already have in your car. In the event of a complete replacement, choose something classy as well as comfortable. Danny’s Upholstery has a full selection of fabrics and can also customize your seat covers to meet your specifications.
Tip 2
As car upholstery repair is encumbered with precision and technicalities, if you are not sure about something, then the best bet would be to it give to a skilled tradesmen with experience in auto upholstery. This will ensure the seat repair has been done correctly and the look of the car has been retained.
Tip 3
When you go in for leather upholstery repair in your car, keep in mind some factors - for instance, all estimators in upholstery aren’t necessarily an upholsterer by trade and may not have experience in doing the actual job. If you are looking for a custom job or specialized work, your best bet is to get an estimate from a master craftsman in upholstery that will actually be responsible for completing the work. I offer free estimates, give me a call at 757-363-5889.
Last, but not the least, make sure that the company you approach is well known and credible. Ask the estimator if he/she has upholstery experience! Ask for before and after pictures for reference! Stop by their upholstery shop and check out work in progress. Are they professional and courteous? Do they submit their estimates in writing? Do you only speak to a salesperson? Is the master craftsman available to meet your specific needs and answer your questions?
