Damage and wear
in car interiors depends on how hard it is used, so each job is
different, but here are some sample prices to get you in the
ballpark
OEM PRICING
Let's start at
the top - the cost to
replace the upholstery of a fairly simple vehicle – in this case a
2008 Ford E-350 van – using dealer
parts.
These prices are for two bucket seats (cloth ), and the foam seat pad for the bottom of the driver's seat – which is typically fairly worn out after six years of heavy use.

AFTER-MARKET
PRICES
For popular
model cars, we can often buy replacement seat upholstery that is
pre-sewn and ready to install. We simply take the seats out of
the vehicle, remove the old upholstery, and install the new. Many
vehicles can the upholstery replaced for somewhere in the $800 -
1,200 range for cloth and vinyl, and $1,100 - 1,500 range for
leather. That is for front and back seats
CUT/SEWN
REPRODUCTION OR CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY
If replacement
upholstery is not available for your specific vehicle, we can
cut and sew upholstery from rolls of fabric. A pair of bucket
seats can be anywhere from $1,000 for very simple seats, to
$2,000 and more for more complicated and/or custom seats.
SEAT REPAIRS
Trucks, vans,
and vehicles with seats that are high off the ground usually
wear out on the outside of the driver's seat bottom. This is a
result of hard rubbing as the driver slides in and out of the
seat. We can usually repair this damage by repairing the foam
and replacing only the worn out fabric on the seat. See our
service page for an example. These repairs can often be done in
the $275-425 range.
SAGGING
HEADLINERS
When the foam
backing breaks down, a headliner will separate from the backing
board and start to fall. Replacing headliner fabric often costs
between $275 - $400.
MOTORCYCLE
SEATS
There are many
different types of motorcycle seats. We've recovered them for as
little as $100 and as high as $800 and even more. We really need
to see the seat to give you an estimate.
RESTAURANT
BOOTH SEATS
Restaurant booth
seats are often in the $125 - 150 range, but they can be cheaper
if we do several at a time. Pick up and delivery and after hours
services cost more.
