Updated seat with the bolstering removed

The seat bolstering on my driver's seat (Toyota RAV4) was too firm. It left me feeling sandwiched into my seat with pressure on my upper legs and butt. It made driving uncomfortable after 15 minutes or so. So I went to Manny to see if American Upholstery could level out the padding in the driver's seat. Manny assured me they could - he has some of the best people working for him and dealerships who bring him work - so I felt like I was in the right hands. Manny was friendly and responsive, sending me updates on the work along the way (with photos). I am very happy with the results (looks like it came out of the factory!) and would highly recommend this business to anyone!

Engine bay Steam clean. It looks BRAND NEW!

I am so happy I found this place. I have a MK6 GTI that ended up with a drooping headliner. I purchased the OEM replacement fabric online intending to replace it myself, but I had second thoughts after seeing the effort involved. I found American upholstery after researching some places in the area, and Manny immediately provided me with a quote over the phone. I dropped my car off in the morning and had it back by the afternoon the next day. When I dropped my car off, they also informed me of a special they had going on for a detailed interior and exterior cleaning. My car desperately needed it, so I had them perform that as well. They did a great job installing the headliner; It looks brand new. The detail cleaning was also EXCEPTIONALLY done. They did everything...vacuuming all the carpets, to wiping every single surface down, engine bay steam cleaning, polishing the calipers and rims, wax....my car has not looked this good in YEARS. There was great communication throughout the experience, everybody was very nice, and they absolutely delivered on all of the work that I needed done. To top it off, I think I paid a very fair price, especially in researching the cost of this job from the dealer and some other shops. I can't recommend this place enough, and I'll definitely be back.

1950 Willys Jeepster interior

I just had a new top installed, and a new interior on my 1950 Willys Jeepster. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the outcome. Manny and his crew thoroughly went the extra mile to make everything perfect. The top and the interior are definitely museum quality. Manny would send me update photos every day and keep me in the loop of everything that they were doing. They definitely went beyond in everything they did. I highly recommend them for any of your upholstery needs.

Manny and his team were AMAZING in quickly fixing a small puncture in the passenger seat of my MB GLC 300. After calling South Bay Mercedes and Caliber Collision, turns out American Upholstery is where they outsource any auto upholstery issues for their customers. Manny was able to fit me in the schedule and frankly I could have picked it up later that day if my work schedule permitted. His team was able to replace the piece of leather in the seat and pieced it back up like new. (See before & after pics). Manny was friendly, efficient and very customer service-oriented. I will not hesitate recommending American Upholstery for any auto upholstery needs.

Fantastic work!!! Manny did an amazing job replacing the leather panel on my seat and cleaning/defogging my headlights. He even shampooed under the seat. He pays attention to detail, did great work with a quick turnaround, and a fantastic price! I will be back the next time I need work done!

So happy how it turned out

These guys are true professionals! Manny and his crew took care of me and my vehicle! They tinted my windows (20%) on my 2022 Honda Civic Si and it came out amazing! They are friendly and knowledgeable and they called me right away when the vehicle was ready. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks guys!

Manny and his guys did an awesome job on my 21 year old truck. My old seat covers and under foams were beat to sh*t!! I brought in the new covers and foams and they had it ready in a day. They even filled in the foams with extra padding. Feels even better than when the truck was new. Highly recommend these guys for any upholstery work you need. Very professional and flawless work.

Nothing they can't do! AU restored my 22-year-old forerunner's old gray, cloth interior to better than new, with black leather seats and black carpet. Not only did they do the interior, they also installed new door speakers, a subwoofer, an amp, and​ reverse camera! Even got it back detailed too. I didnt have to do anything other than say yes or no. They know exactly what they're doing and know the best of best equipment to use and install. Highly recommend, will be coming back for a paint job and window tinting.​

Great experience and customer service. My Passenger door was coming apart, common issue on chargers, and I called Manny to see when he could squeeze me in and he took care of me. Prompt and great service. Went in for my door and also ended up getting my car detailed. Manny and his team did a great job. Definitely will be returning back to them and I recommend you check them out. They have fair prices on both detailing and upholstery needs. Shiny detailed car serves for a happy customer in my book ANY day!

The new car interior
Jennifer E.

My dogs had torn up the interior of my 98 infinity over the course of many years. I did not take a photo of the old interior since I always kept the seats covered. I finally decided to get it reupholstered. Many and his brother did a great job. The car looks new on the inside Manny and his brother were also very friendly. I strongly recommend American Auto Upholstery!

Angel was right up front with me on what he could do (re-energize the car inside and out) and what he couldn't [clear coat failure, a common defect on older Japanese cars (mine's a 2007), requires a paint job; it can't be buffed out]. They worked on the car for several hours, and they did a truly heroic job. He was even kind enough to throw in a headlight cover cleaning (you know how they can get all cloudy) for free. No high pressure sales to talk me into services I didn't want, they were friendly, fair, and REALLY thorough. Their attention to detail was remarkable. Great communication, too; when it looked like that car was going to take a little longer than he estimated, I got a call with enough notice to rearrange my schedule. The price was extraordinarily fair, particularly considering the level of services rendered. I love working with professionals, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I tried VIP Detail yesterday based upon its overwhelming positive Yelp reviews (Thanks, fellow Yelpers!). Upon arrival, I was greeted by a genuinely-friendly worker who took the keys to my white BMW X3. I opted for the wash & wax for only $75 (!!!). It was busy, but not crazy-busy, so I got my car back in about an hour. What's odd is that the customers in the waiting area I chatted with were all pretty effusive in their praise of VIP Detail. I've never encountered that whilst waiting at a car wash. Honestly, I have paid way more for details that produced results inferior to VIP Detail's! At the risk of this place getting busier and me having to wait longer next time, this is the best car wash I have ever been to! And, no, I'm not prone to hyperbole...especially when describing a car wash. Did I mention rhat everything is done by hand? I'm going to bring my car to VIP Detail from hereon out. There's an automated car wash right by my office, but they do a shit job for $30. And, you have to vacuum your own ride at the automated places. I'd gladly drive out of the way to VIP Detail to get a result that's orders of magnitude better. Bring your car here and get the wash and wax. You'll be really glad you did (as in, "made your day" kind of glad).

WOW! They did an excellent job!…read moreI got the Diamond Wash. For $45 they cleaned the exterior and interior very well. Looks great! That said... here are a few warnings: 1. It is very hard to pull in here. Try to come during the work day when maybe there are less people. I made the mistake of coming at noon on Saturday. It was PACKED. 2. BRING A BOOK! It took at least 1.5 hours. Also, even though it was VERY thorough, they did not wash the rubber floor mats. I thought they would. Every other surface was thoroughly washed / wiped. Next time, I will request that explictly.
