MY Experience. This…read morereview is not to discourage future customers but simply to voice my frustration and give light to future customer that might come across the same situation. I brought a 90's Padres Jacket for a cleaning service, It already had some wear and tear as show in the first 2 photos and I just wanted a clean up. I was charged the $85 service BEFORE receiving said service and the gentlemen inspected the jacket to review its materials to see if it would be compatible for the service as the use chemical and solutions to clean jackets. I had to sign a paper before leaving it allowing the company to save themselves in a dissatisfied customer situation. The quote was 4-5 days, I waited a week. Finally got the call today and was shown my jacket and god this is not the SAME jacket. It was basically frickin destroyed?! The guy started explaining what had happened and that my jacket turned out to be synthetic leather and that those kinds of jackets don't do well in the cleaning service. My first thought is: IF YOU KNEW THIS WAS SYNTHETIC WHY NOT VOICE THAT, IF YOU KNEW IT WOULD NO DO WELL IN THE CLEANING WHY NOT HIGHLY OPPOSE IT??? IF YOU SAW DURING THE PROCESS IT WAS DOING MORE HARM THEN GOOD WHY NOT CALL THE CUSTOMER FOR A FINAL APPROVAL??? I didn't say a word, just thank you and have a nice day. In all honesty I am completely frustrated, this jacket isn't one you can find at your nearest store, it can't be easily found on the internet it's a rare jacket and I was really excited to wear it. The guy at the countered joked talking about how crunchy it came out and that "he didn't even want to fold it because it might rip and tear more??" I will take some accountability, it's my first time with this kind of jacket and I am personally not too educated on leather jackets but if i'm going to leather shop and I was asking question prior... EDUCATE ME BIG BROOO LIKE WTF?! anywho i'm done. F service, they care more for profit then the care of their customers garments. probably will ever come back :/ dang shame tbh.... i was going to be the flyest person in petco stadium smh.

I had an outstanding experience at El Centenario in Chula Vista. I came in looking for a suit,…read moreboots, and a belt for an upcoming wedding, and Enrique took the time to help me put together an outfit that exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of western wear, attention to detail, and eye for matching colors, materials, and styles made the entire process easy and enjoyable. What impressed me the most was the level of craftsmanship and customer service. Enrique custom-fitted and handcrafted an ostrich skin belt for me right there in the shop to ensure it fit perfectly. That level of dedication and expertise is something you rarely find anymore. He also recommended an excellent local tailor who completed the final alterations, making the entire experience seamless. Everyone at the store was courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. Their selection is not only extensive, but the quality of their western wear is unlike anything I've found elsewhere. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality western clothing and exceptional customer service, I can't recommend El Centenario enough. Enrique and his team went above and beyond, and I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases.

I purchased the deluxe leather repair kit last year in July, 2025 and restored the seats in my car…read morein August. The damage was an L shaped tear on the back cushion and wear and tear on the bolster of the driver's seat. Following instructions, the repair looked great. This is a hobby car and used maybe a couple of thousand miles/year. I noticed this summer both areas were tearing apart, and now they both look like they did before restoration. The repair compound has completely come loose. Very disappointed in the long term results. One positive is the color match is great: after dying, the seats looked terrific. I have ended up getting some seat covers for the car. I would not recommend this kit for long term use

I will definitely be back for all of my shoe and purse needs.

OMG! My review is wayyyy overdue! (About a year) I thought I…read morehad one posted once I picked up my Harley Davidson boots! I've put some miles and smiles on my tall leather HD boots. And began to notice my soles would slip from the ground especially when I would start reversing my bike into a parking stall. Although I'm not at all a gravel type kinda gal- but the slightest ricks on pavement would freak me out while pushing my bike back into a stall. Not trying to lose control of my custom painted motorcycle while looking cool, ya know? LOL I've heard so many great things about Bonita Shoe Repair, but, I wanted to see their past reviews on re soling motorcycle boots. Although the one I read, think it was from Yelp- wasn't as current- but, when I made a post on my socials for recommendations- plenty of my friends in the moto community spoke highly of BSR. I didn't wanna buy a new pair. Not that cost was an issue. It's just that would mean I would need to literally break into new leather. And I didn't wanna do that! When I walked in and met Erica- she was amazing! We chatted for a bit and she showed me two types of motorcycle soles. She had the Vibram catalog and I preferred a sole with some meaty tread. I dropped off my summer motorcycle boots and wasn't in a rush for pick up, since I had a pair of winter insulated motorcycle boots at home. The price was very reasonable- about $100?, if I remember correctly. Erica sent me a text the day before the suggested pick up date, and asked if this other date would work. Which was fine with me, for the lil delay. Because like I said, I wasn't in a rush. But, the fact she communicated with me in advance and apologized for the delay, goes a long way. Definitely satisfied with the service. If memory serves me right- I saw a car cover at the shop that they were walking on. And I could swear, they even fix back pack zippers? But, definitely call ahead for other services they could provide! Thank you so much, Erica!

I realize repairing a leather purse isn't their primary business, but I took my handmade leather…read morehandbag here and was extremely impressed by the results. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and courteous, the customer service was excellent, and the price and turnaround time were both reasonable. Not only did Steve repair the stitching on the strap of my bag, which was detaching, he added matching brass rivets and reinforced the inside with matching leather so that the connection points were stronger and the strap would be more secure. It looks better now than it did when it was new! I am an artist myself, and somewhat picky about these things, and the quality of the workmanship was flawless. I will not hesitate to come in again if I need leatherwork!

I've been looking for a good local leather shop recently. Came across this business and read the…read moregreat reviews.. unfortunately it was a huge disappointment.. don't waste your time or money!! I brought the bag in and we looked at what the issue was.. the thread was coming undone where the strap was being secured to the bag.. we agreed to put in a single black rivet on each side to match and secure the strap.. told me it'd be about 15 minutes. I came back and he put in three on each side which was a bit strange.. I noticed they were uneven and they even scratched the front of the bag under the flap.. talked to him about that then he apologized and tried to buff it out.. paid the man and walked out because I was already upset about the quality of work done.. on the way out noticed that he actually spliced the leather on the side right where the stitching was coming undone so now it's even worse than before because that entire piece of leather is no longer securing the strap.. almost the same exact issue I came in to solve but worse because he would have to fully take it apart to fix it.. seems sneaky to me.. just felt like they were trying to get more money out of me and the job he did do was very inadequate .. definitely no pride in their craftsmanship... got my money back and said I was going somewhere else! very upset because I'd like to regularly support local businesses... went in there based on the great reviews they had specifically about their craftsmanship no matter how small the job. makes you think about going to bigger companies with actual standards... if zero was an option, I'd put that instead..
