Central Florida Upholstery Recommendations ?

I'm in Tampa and am looking for a reputable upholstery shop within the state, preferably somewhere within a couple hour drive time. There are plenty in the area but, I'm always hesitant with upholstery. Anyone have a shop they've used or heard of?

Wish I could recommend L&S auto trim in Gainesville, but their work is overpriced and sometimes under-quality. IMHO, choosing an upholsterer is often harder than choosing a place to get your car painted! One of these days I plan to get a professional sewing machine and try some of this myself.

Let us know what you end up with.

Hey Chuck, I completely agree! I've visited a few places so far and have yet to be impressed. I, too, am half tempted to pick up a machine and give it a go myself.

There are a couple of online facilities that have good reps. Buy their kits and have a local do the install. Auto International is one....
also the first 3 in the link...
