Auto Interior Restoration

As cars get a bit older, the leather seats can be damaged. Proper maintenance of your leather interior will make it last a long time. Auto upholstery needs to be kept moisturized to keep it from frying and cracking overtime. Unfortunately, many car owners take this for granted until your leather interior starts showing some signs of wearing. Thankfully, there is hope. Simple auto restoration and upholstery service can make them look close to new again.

Refurbishing damaged leather, vinyl or fabric seats not only enhances its appearance and comfort, it boosts the overall value of your investment as well.

Our customers are happy to know that they have a reliable restoration and upholstery shop at Studio Hotrods, that is ready to service them for all their auto upholstery needs.
