Cars with neutral-colored interiors roll off assembly lines. But every driver has his own ideas about beauty. Not everyone will limit themselves to buying rugs and chair covers. Car interior reupholstery is the dream of many owners of new cars.

How much does it cost to reupholster an interior?

This type of tuning is in demand in the capitals. Interior design is a matter of prestige. The shine of leather chairs is a status symbol.

The cost of the service in Moscow is the highest. In the regions, prices for replacing covers or upholstery are lower, but there is less choice of materials. Sometimes the final estimate is not inferior to the capital’s price lists. Not every workshop will perform high-quality reupholstery.

The table shows average prices in Moscow. Information from car workshop websites.

Type of work (without material cost)Cost, rub)
Removing/installing front seats1500
Removing/stretching covers5000 – 7000
Sewing a cover (for 4 car seats)40000 – 60000
Dashboard reupholstery70000
Central armrest5000 – 6000
Door inserts15000 – 20000

For comparison: the cost of interior tuning in the regions:

Removing/installing front seats500 – 600
Car interior reupholstery (velor, leatherette)From 28000
Center armrest (work)1500
Door inserts (leatherette)From 10000

Reupholstering the entire interior is a costly undertaking. The car will have to be left with a mechanic or an auto repair shop. The private trader counts his time in weeks. He sews each cover by hand. In the company, the reupholstery of the car interior is distributed among the technological areas. Several specialists are working. Tuning is completed faster.

To decorate the interior with textiles, leatherette, and Alcantara, you need a sewing workshop. Seat covers are sewn using industrial equipment. It takes several hours to sew a cover. The interior is upholstered in natural leather by tanners.

It is not easy to carefully remove old upholstery. Some plastic parts cannot be removed without damaging the fasteners. Installers must know the inside of any car. The reupholstery requires careful dismantling.

Customers are afraid that they will not get the desired result for their money. The concerns are fair. It happens that instead of genuine leather, they sew upholstery for seats from eco-leather. Instead of Alcantara, cheap analogues are used for the cover.

Sometimes there is a control center under the sign “Tuning Studio”. He passes orders to the performers. The car is sent to the workshop of a large company or to the garage of a private owner. The customer overpays at least 10% for sewing each case.

Therefore, those who want to remodel the car's interior are rolling up their sleeves. It seems that reupholstering is a simple matter.

Do-it-yourself car interior renovation

Russian motorists often devote their leisure time to interior modernization. There are many photos and video reports on the Internet.

Craftsmen demonstrate how to sew a seat cover. Car doors and ceilings are covered in apartment kitchens and garages. Men sit down at sewing machines. They cut and sew covers for car seats. Washing forces you to master the needle and thimble.

Lots of instructions on how to update your car's interior with your own hands. But reports from amateur craftsmen repeat problems:

Selection and purchase of material

Ordering leather online is risky. Sometimes the photo in the product card is not this material at all. Just a beautiful picture. Not all suppliers are ready to sell 3 meters of eco-leather or Alcantara at a wholesale price.

Craftsmen talk in reports about purchasing material from auto repair shops. The savings on seat upholstery are small. Others proudly share their experience of decorating the interior of their car with furniture textiles. Furniture velor is suitable for sewing covers and seat covers.

Without experience, it is difficult to decide how many square meters you need for seats and interior. How much is needed for allowances and parts of complex shapes. Some of the material will be wasted.

Glue

Special two-component formulations are not sold in small containers. They are delivered in barrels to factories and car dealerships. Glue is selected by technologists for automotive plastics. Therefore, to cover the interior on their own, they get glue from tuning companies. Or they experiment with glue from stores. Recommendations from the Internet will help with your choice.

In addition to glue, you need to select solvents for cleaning surfaces. Study the technology of gluing materials with different structures. For example, plastic and leather parts. Learn to distribute the glue in a layer of the required thickness.

Sewing business

To sew parts made of thick fabric or eco-leather, the sewing machine must be set up correctly. There is advice to buy an industrial machine. Household machines are not suitable for complex operations such as edging.

The stitching on the seat covers should be even. It is performed with a special foot and two needles.

Dozens of master classes demonstrate the sewing process. Hundreds of articles contain instructions on choosing threads, presser feet and needles.

But making upholstery for chairs is a craft. For the first time, the curves of the cover appear with folds and creases. It is impossible to pull them straight onto the chair. You need a lot of experience to sew at the speed of seamstresses in a sewing workshop. A beautiful seat reupholstery will not work the first time.

Decorative seams are made by hand on the convex surfaces of the interior. A piece of expensive leather is easy to ruin. Extra punctures on natural material will be noticeable.

Uncover

The auto shop has patterns for seat covers for any car. For an exclusive order, the designer will quickly take measurements and create a pattern. All upholstery parts will fit exactly in place.

Reupholstering seats and interior trim yourself takes a lot of time. For example, to remove the pattern of a worn-out cover, you need to rip out all the seams.

The parts are steamed and smoothed. Transfer to new tissue. Cut and sew. The alteration will take several evenings of concentrated work. Reupholstering of seats in the studio is done quickly. In the garage without helpers you will have to tinker.

Experts recommend not removing old upholstery from the door, ceiling, and armrests. There is a soft backing underneath in the right places. It is difficult to clean surfaces from foam residues and remove dried glue at home.

Experts recommend using elastic materials such as Alcantara analogues. The parts of the new upholstery are glued onto the old trim.

The result of the work

Successfully reupholstering the interior of your car will teach you a new profession. Mastered skills are easy to monetize. For example, take orders to restore the interior of a car. A car with a clean interior will sell for more.

But not all novice masters are happy with the result. Reupholstery made by professionals looks better and will last longer.

Seat reupholstery

Car seat reupholstery is an important component of car interior tuning

Car seats are an important component of not only a comfortable and convenient stay in the cabin, it is also an important part of the interior.
But car seats are very susceptible to mechanical stress and wear, the leather wears out and becomes cracked, abrasions and stretching appear, fabric seats simply burn out and fade in the sun, the upholstery wears out, ineradicable stains appear, and damage such as burns and tears is common. In case of minor defects and damages, you can use seat repair; restoring the seats can return leather chairs to their original appearance; if the damage is extensive, it is not necessary to buy a new car seat, it is enough to use a service such as car seat reupholstery.

There are various options for upholstery: upholstery in one tone, upholstery with inserts in the center, on the sides, finishing with various types of stitches and stitches, as well as various combinations of colors and materials.

Today, car seat reupholstery is an important component of car interior tuning; seats are reupholstered by motorists who want to individualize the car interior, making it unique and exclusive, or simply add some variety or bright colors to the interior. Thanks to the upholstery, you can get a completely new car seat; in addition, upholstery of car seats with various materials such as leather, velor, Alcantara, fabric, as well as various combinations of colors and materials, provides endless scope for the imagination of car owners. With the help of reupholstery, you can radically change or simply improve the interior interior, making it stylish, comfortable and individual. Thanks to such a service as leather upholstery of seats, you can make the interior of your car expensive and respectable.

Tuning studio New-Leather will reupholster car seats quickly and efficiently. We have been working in the capital market for more than 7 years; in our work we use only high-quality materials from Italian and German manufacturers. In addition to seat reupholstery, we also reupholster steering wheels and interior reupholstery.

What to choose? Leather, Alcantara, velor or fabric?

Our company offers a wide selection of materials of various colors and textures, each material has a number of its own advantages. For example, leather is a durable, wear-resistant material, does not get dirty, does not absorb odors or moisture, and is easy to care for. Leather interior increases the cost of a car.

Alcantara is more expensive than leather, but it is more durable, does not get cold in severe frosts, breathes, and is easy to clean. The fabric does not have the same qualities as leather or Alcantara, but the fabric is much cheaper, and the choice of fabric upholstery is much richer, the fabric does not heat up in the heat, but the fabric is easier to stain and damage, and the fabric interior also fades faster in the sun.

What is the asking price?

The basis of high-quality upholstery is correctly selected materials, strict compliance with sizes, correct cut and tailoring. If even one stage is violated, the entire process is disrupted and high-quality reupholstery is impossible. Our experienced specialists will advise and advise on the choice of material and finishing. The final cost will depend on the chosen material, the amount of work, types of seams and stitches and other decorative elements (the presence of embroidery, embossing). Our prices correspond to the quality of the work performed! Whatever you choose fabric, leather, Alcantara or eco-leather, you will be satisfied!

How to reupholster car seats

Car seat reupholstery work is carried out in several stages.

The chair is dismantled and the old upholstery is removed. The old upholstery is torn into pieces, measurements are taken from it and new patterns are made. The patterns are reinforced with foam rubber, which is glued with special glue, this makes the material stronger. Next, if necessary, the seat filler is restored, as a rule, the lateral support and lower part are restored. Then the parts are sewn and secured in the required sequence, after which the chair is mounted in place.

The New-Leather tuning studio reupholsters seats at the highest possible level. In our work, we use only high-quality materials from leading manufacturers so that you can enjoy your new upholstery for a long time. When we reupholster seats with us, you can change not only their appearance, but also their shape, making the chairs more convenient and comfortable. Our company also offers partial reupholstery of seats or individual interior elements. The chairs can be re-upholstered using ready-made templates presented at our stand or, with the help of our designer, you can develop an exclusive design.

What is important for a potential customer to know?

First you need to look at as many photos as possible. Determine whether the entire interior needs to be reupholstered. Or new cladding of individual elements is enough. The interior style must correspond to the class of the car.

In a budget car, a leather interior looks ridiculous. The interior of an elite salon should not contain an array of natural plain leather. The nobility of the material is emphasized by the metal and wood on the car dashboard.

First of all, worn out parts are replaced. Interior elements by frequency of orders for reupholstery:

  1. Seats, headrests, armrests
  2. Steering wheel
  3. Door inserts
  4. Door handles
  5. Gearbox handle and skirt, handbrake skirt
  6. Torpedo
  7. Ceiling and pillars

The car seats are the largest element. They lose shape faster due to daily stress. Capes protect against contamination, but the padding and frame parts wear out. Reupholstery – new life for the salon.

Reupholstery of seats in a car workshop includes:

  1. Replacing sagging packing
  2. Repair of adjustment mechanisms
  3. Installation of additional options, such as ventilation and heating
  4. Sewing and installation of upholstery

The second important functional element is the steering wheel braid. Re-taping with finished braid is a simple operation. Many people change the braid themselves.

The steering wheel is an element of the security system. The braid made of genuine leather increases driving comfort and reduces health risks. Specialists will select an ergonomic shape. With proper care, the service life of leather is longer than that of leather substitutes.

Reupholstering the seats and steering wheel transforms the interior of the car. A comprehensive reupholstery of the entire interior is needed in case of damage, for example, after an accident. The color of leather, Alcantara, eco-leather and other types of upholstery will be selected so that the interior looks like new.

New interior trim is an understandable desire of the customer. If you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, you want an interior that is pleasing to the eyes. The waistband is needed for comfort.

You may be interested in: Why is color choice important?

The photo of the stylish salon is impressive. There is an extravagant eye-catcher monochrome. Everything is covered in pink or pistachio.

For a classic or modern salon, at least two colors or shades are used. Additional color is present as inserts, stitching, ceiling color and lining of auxiliary parts.

Upholstery design and material selection

When choosing a color, it is better to agree with the designer. Bright contrast and disharmony affect the psyche. Against the backdrop of stress while driving, irritation accumulates. The provocative color scheme is appropriate in a sports car.

After choosing a color, choose the material for the cladding. For an unlimited budget, these are samples of genuine leather. The main advantage of leather seats is that they are not electrified. The skin has no serious flaws.

Experts do not recommend using types of leather for your car that are intended for covering furniture. Automotive and furniture leather are treated differently.

If you have the means to buy genuine leather, it is better to contact a car workshop. Learning leatherwork on your car's upholstery will be expensive. For fun, it’s enough to make the steering wheel braid yourself.

For the first experiments, it is better to take artificial leather or eco-leather. Eco-leather is sold in rolls with a uniform texture. Large selection of colors. It is often combined with genuine leather for the headliner and subtle details.

The eco-leather interior of the car looks worthy of a prestigious car. But for this, all stitches and seams must be done perfectly.

Alcantara, or artificial suede, is much easier to sew upholstery for seats. It is easier for a novice master to work. Elastic material compensates for defects in patterns and stitching when reupholstering seats. When gluing the ceiling panel and door inserts, it is necessary to stretch the material evenly.

Many companies produce analogues of Alcantara. They look no worse, but are inferior in performance and durability. Materials with an adhesive base and a soft backing make reupholstering easier.

It so happens that car workshops work with high-quality Alcantara. It is less popular for reupholstering car seats yourself.

Materials for reupholstery

Since car seats are subject to constant use (especially the driver’s seat), durable materials that are resistant to wear, moisture, temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, and chemicals are used to update the upholstery.

  • Genuine Leather. Material with a rich, unique smell, pleasant to the touch. It will be pleasant and not cold to sit in a leather chair in winter and not hot in summer. High-quality leather and professional work eliminate creaking of the material and discomfort during operation.
  • Italian automotive leather Happa. The material has excellent external, tactile and performance properties.
  • Alcantara. Faux suede with a velvety surface that is resistant to fading and shiny areas.
  • Eco leather. Leatherette with a textile base and a polymer surface, in appearance almost indistinguishable from genuine leather, but having a much lower cost and a larger color palette. During operation, the surface of eco-leather does not become cracked or crumble.
  • Velours. Soft and pleasant to the touch material, the most affordable, but demanding to care for and difficult to clean.

If desired, the car owner can choose any other materials and fabrics in accordance with his taste and budget.

The path of professionals

It's a common phrase in advertising for tuning companies. “We employ professionals.” Few people ask where specialists come from. If you disassemble the interior of your car, replace the trim and put it back together again, things will go faster with a second car. This is how they find a new profession.

The service requires accuracy from performers. All operations are performed manually. In large companies, people are trained before entrusting an order.

In large cities, successful companies open training centers. Anyone can learn a profession and open a business. After training, you will be able to finish or restore the interior of your car at a professional level.
