anyone recommend an auto upholstery shop?

The foam in my seats is flat and I cant take it anymore!
Can anyone recommend a shop that does this kind of work?
How about this place?

Is it for your jeep or a dsm? Just buy another, it will probably be cheaper either way.

Re: anyone recommend an auto upholstery shop?

What are you looking to do exactly? I know with my Talon I will be reupholstering it myself in leather with seat covers from leather seats . com and will eventually be doing the same on my Envoy with leather seat covers from Katzkin. It will take a few hours, but definately do-able from what I've read. I've never actually done it though.

I did my armrest using some leather from Redlinegoods. I'm not talented enough to wield a staple gun since I ended up with some creases. I'm not clear if Katzkin has something for my car or not. Their website sucks.

Re: anyone recommend an auto upholstery shop?

Leatherseats.com I think is the other site that also sells covers, kinda like Katzkin. They have covers for DSM's and 3S's. Might be worth taking a peak, they might have Evo stuff.
