re-upholster questions

[wheelerboy12]

any one on here do it? or know how much it would cost to get my seat re-upholstered? seat covers are expensive and i figured id look into getting it professionally done before i attempt to make my own.

I would say between, $300-$600, it really depends on the condition of your seat, what material, and design you want. I bought seat covers for my buckets($200) and the shop charged me $400 to install them and rework the foam.

It wouldnt hurt to shop, those prices are my experience.

That does not sound bad at all. I've heard of $400-$600 seat rebuilds where they've rewired springs, replaced foam and all that. More like a rebuilt seat. So you springs and foam are obviously in good shape.

I have done auto upholstery for the the last 13 years and is how I make a living. A Chevy bench seat should cost about $350 - $400. There are shops that cut corners and will do it around $150 - $200 They do not repair the foam, the frame, or use automotive grade materials. Remember, you get what you pay for!

In a few months I will be covering the seats in my Crew cab. I will do a wright up on 81 to 91 square bench seats.

The guy that does my seats gets 400 for the bench and back rest combined. And - he can still get the original charcoal cloth material from the mid 80's.
