Front seats price check

I got the foam and covers to redo the buckets in my car.I was toying with the idea of redoing them myself. but I have since damaged my left arm pretty bad, so I have to get someone else to do it. There is a good upholster not too far away. What would be a rough price to get this done. Thanks

Contact Ben. I'm sure he could do it one armed.

That price is going to vary big time depending on where you live and the upholstery shops in your area.

I live in southern Maryland and picked up the new covers for my front and rear benches on my own. The upholsterer that I used charged me around $400. For that amount, he stripped off the old covers, sandblasted and repainted the frames, used his own foam and re-installed the seats.

I can't tell you if that is a good price or not, because the guy that I used is the ONLY classic auto upholsterer within 30 miles of my house (regular upholsterers would not work on cars).

Thanks for the reply. I am in far NW Virginia, so area is pretty close. The rest sounds pretty much the same as me here. Only guy around. I just wanted to have an idea before I went down to see him. Appreciative it.

I was quoted over $1000 just for the front bench on my 72, and I have the covers! That was about 5 years ago here in So Cal. Sheesh

Yeah. But that Southern California. The only place more expensive than that might be NYC, and maybe not even then.
