    Drivers seat, center console lid and steering wheel

    Chendo's upholstery is by far the best upholstery shop in Los Angeles. He always has provided fair prices and his work is unmatched. 99% of the upholstery shops in the area will run you out and blow smoke where the sun doesn't shine. Not this place. I have had Chendo do two projects for me now and every time he goes above and beyond in his work. He transformed my ram 1500 from a clunker to a hot rod. If I could give this place 10 stars I wou

    I was looking to get information about the cost of reupholstering the two front seats in my 2004 Lexus LX470. The vehicle's age, especially the seats, was really beginning to show. Like most people these days, I decided to start my search online. Chendo's Upholstery and the glowing 5-star Yelp reviews caught my eye. I called the shop, and Chendo answered the phone along with all my questions. He suggested that I bring the vehicle in so he could better assess the job, which I did. I appreciated how upfront he was and the thorough explanations he offered. He even went as far as to identify the original Toyota leather and color. I decided to move forward based on that and am so happy I did. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The quality of his work is clearly visible. These seats turned out beautiful. I highly recommend visiting his shop and completing those long overdue upholstery projects.

    5 star service. Chendo ordered the new soft for my Miata fast, and I installed it even faster and it looked beautiful. And his price is good. Highly recommended for soft top replacements.

    This is after Chendo redid the leather. It's very well done. I'm so happy! :)

    I bought my used car 2 years ago and the steering wheel always bothered me because it was all messed up. Chendo did a great job. I'm soooo happy. He had it done in 24 hours. I was getting ridiculous quotes from other auto body collision repair shops saying they had to replace the whole steering unit and that it could cost 1k-1.5k. Chendo's price was very fair, less than half of that. He is my go to now for any auto upholstery needs. I would highly recommend him. He's friendly and has great craftsmanship.

    I've had a tear in my driver seat and center console for years but never had the time and money to fix it. I decided to finally get it fixed and I found Chendo's on google/Yelp. He gave me a very reasonable price and was able to get it done in less than 24 hours! He did such a great job and he is so nice! I highly recommend this spot.

    Business card w/qoute

    Drove up about two months ago (June 15th) to get a qoute to replace my driver side panel door that has peeling vinyl. Was given a reasonable quote and told to come back in two weeks for the service. Returned in two weeks (July 5th) and was told that "we are busy at the moment and won't be able to assist you for 3 weeks. Waited another 3 weeks (August 7th) and once again returned trying to support a small business and was told it would be another two weeks and that I should maybe find someone else to do the work. My impression is that the owner did not want to do the work or did not want to stick to the original quote given. I would not recommend Chendo's Upholstery as you will get excuse after excuse at the business does not honor their word. Very dissatisfied. I will gladly take my business and my money elsewhere. Again would not recommend.

    I was very happy that I went to Chendo's upholstery to get the seats in my G35 redone! I looked around at a few places and Chendo by fair had the best price and quality! He's very detailed in his approach and he matched the color of my seats exactly to stock form! He doesn't do the embroidery for seat but he has a place he highly recommends. I would just say make arrangements to be without your car for a few days. Overall the quality and price at Chendo's is unmatched!

    Chendo's Upholstery is the place to go. Chendo reupholstered my twin boy's 1986 Toyota Pick Up truck bench seat. They requested he take off the headrest and he did! They also requested cloth and vinyl upholstery and he did! Very professional. Fast turn around and his place is very clean. Would recommend him to anyone. He did an amazing job!!

    One of quite a seat cushions done.

    I needed a few boat cushions done in a hurry, Chendo's got work done quickly and they turned out as expected at a very fair price.

    Been using him for years now, and still the best upholstry shop in Long Beach. As a shop owner, we've tried several until we found Chendo!

    Chendo's replaced the sagging headliner on my 2006 Accord. Reasonably priced, good work, same-day turnaround. Recommended.

    I have a 03 Saab convertible canvas top with two holes in the top layer no leaks. But I want to see if they can be patched? Is That something you can do?

    How much for a scooter seat?

    Can you send me Pictures? please!

    I have a 2008 Nissan Aramda I just bought and the drivers front seat needs to be reupholstered? How much would it be to upholster the two front seats so they match?

    Good afternoon, in order to make the seat as close to the original as possible and to provide an accurate estimate we would suggest bringing your car in. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!

    Wardlow Top Shop & Upholstery

    (9 reviews)

    *REQUEST EVERYTHING IN WRITING* I purchased a toyota…read more4runner that had really dirty seats and carpet, so I ventured out to find an upholstery shop to replace/rebuild them. I came to wardlow top shop and worked out an agreement with steve lance(owner) , and I explained what I wanted and needed done very clearly. I also mentioned to Max the one who was doing the work to my seats, that the seat structure was dirty and I need to clean them, He said "don't worry about it, I'll handle that." Awsome! Well after about a month and a half they finally got to working on my upholstery. I stopped in to see how they were coming, and to My surprise the two front seats were already covered with the material, and nothing was cleaned from what I had previously mentioned, and agreed upon. So at this point they wrapped new material around a dirty seat, as if we never spoke of anything at all. This is truly an eye opener on businesses that really doesn't care at all about quality & customer requests. I started cleaning them myself and mentined something about it to Steve the owner, and he didn't wink an eye, as if he didn't care at all. The rear seats needed to be attached to the rear carpet kit in order to function when laid down for cargo, was never completed while the new carpet kit was there the whole time. Also, the head rests were really dirty and needed to be stripped and then wrapped, THEY JUST WRAPPED THE DIRTY old SMELLY HEAD RESTS!(see pics) Seriously?! talk about knowing nothing about upholstery! And half ass'n a job... Ive never seen this before, ever. There are permanent marks on the new seats, scuffs, dirt, you name it.(see pics) At this point I figured Out plain and simple... this shop is a Rip Off. I should've have seen the signs when his son across the way purposely sabotaged & changed the internet password so steve couldn't use the internet for days, Ha! His son instructed me not to say anything to his dad. Sounds like the "apples don't fall far from the tree" situation here. In conclusion, I hope this review will prevent someone else from being scammed/ripped off by this business, make sure you get everything in writing EVERYTHING or the owner wont hesitate to half butt your upholstery in a heartbeat, like he did to me! (See pics!

Which that part initially seemed to be correct. Filed a claim on July 16, 2025 to have the interior staining removed. On July 17th, PermaPlate approved the claim and told me Fibrenew Long Beach South would be in contact with me and be out shortly to fulfill the claim. Chad made contact with me on July 23, 2025 and initially told me that he would probably be out the following week and asked my availability. On July 28th I reached back out because he never responded back with a day and time. His response was he doesn't make it to LA often and he has 60 days to fulfill the claim. He waited until September to reach back out. He didn't show up to fulfill the claim until the 58th day. Chad initially said he'd be here to fulfill the claim at 12:30pm, but had to push it back until 2:45pm because his car broke down. I tipped him because I felt bad because his car broke down and he seemed stressed and I have been in that situation before. But after he left, I noticed that Chad never returned my key back to me. First he said it was in the center console, then he said he wasn't sure if had walked off with it but would look. After I had to keep following up on him, 11:45 am the next day he confirmed he still had not looked for the key. This guy has been the worst experience I have had with someone purporting to be a professional. Either he is like this with all his PermaPlate clients or he has an inherent bias against people of my race and gender. Now I have to spend my Sunday in the Sheriff Dept filing a report.

I was asked to pay a deposit upfront of $1300 for materials which I agreed to. We arranged to have him come on Tuesday. He called the weekend before to see if he could come Monday. I said yes and he didn't show up until 4pm. He then never came back the next day although he said he would be there. He then showed up Wednesday mid day and I told him we could not go past 5pm. He asked to stay late to finish and I said that was fine. He then asked if I could pay him before he was finished. I said I want to see the final product before I pay so if you want to finish tonight, ok but I want to see it when I'm back in the morning or he could come back. He wanted to finish that night. He then texted me throughout the night asking me to pay him even though I had already said I want to see the final product. We were paying $2500 of which we had already paid half. He also told me he had to miss family time to finish, when I had already told him I was not available that night. The entire time he was flaky showing up and tried to guilt me into paying him the second half when I repeatedly said I wanted to see the final product. The next morning as promised, I looked at the leather and it was splotchy, with paint lines all over it and missed spots. He then came back after I called him to repair it. I paid him to be done with it, but the leather looks awful. It's dried out and feels like cardboard. The color is forest green instead of olive. The material is so hard that I now have puncture makes when the cat jumped up vs before, we had scratch marks but not tears. We now have puncture marks. On top of this he was asking how he was going to move the sofa and was asking me to help him move it. I expect that when someone comes to your house to do work, they have their own guys instead of relying on the customer to move things. I also have chemical stains on my new concrete driveway from where he spilled stains because he parked in our driveway. Terrible experience. Sofa will be donated and we lost $2500.
