Interior Redo-Who in the NW

Hello!

OK, I need to do the interior of my 84 Targa and I need someone who will do it right at a reasonable price! Ha, right! So, does anyone know anyone in the Seattle/Tacoma area who they have had a good experience with who does good work at reasonable prices? I do know its all relative and one person's reasonable is another's outrage! Thanks!

Auto Specialty, INC on South Tacoma Way. Family business that has been there for a couple of generations.

Reconditioned my drivers seat, and rebuilt the small rear seat cushions. Plan to have them replace my headliner after Christmas.

Do very nice work, very meticulous. Prices are not TOO bad...

Hope this helps!!

Rob

Check out Ron's Recaro thread here:

Recaro Information & Restoration

He's in Tacoma. I believe he is no longer doing this full time, but will still take on a side project

Wow! There are some pretty spectacular pictures on that thread. I will try and get a hold of Ron and see what I can find out.

I did some checking on the link to the other thread and it took me to an Alfa forum. They were some good things and some bad things said about Ron's shop as of late.

Anyway, does anyone else have any suggestions? Thank you. I am going to go by Auto Specialty after the holidays and check them out. Thank you for that referral.

When I saw the thread title, I was going to recommend Auto Specialty on So Tac Way.

Guess I'm a bit late.

I've had them do a few things for me, among them the headliner in the 911. I have always been impressed with their quality, and very happy with thier pricing. A friend said they gave him a high price when they looked at his 912, and he went elsewhere.
