Service requested was to get a padded seat for a wooden chair redone- foam and fabric. Had quoted and accepted thru Yelp. Stopped in noted I wanted in-house materials to lower my costs. I noted a few color tones and the owner brought some samples down for me to review. Picked a fabric and that was it. Was told they'd text me when ready. Timing was a few days. Stopped in to pickup and only took a few min.. Enjoyed my interactions with the owner. Would take another project to them. Note- parking is tight in the lot along the bldg.. I may have parked in a spot for one of the other businesses there, but I was in-out quickly so no one hassled me. read more

My relatively new car seat had a tear, which is upsetting enough and the quote to repair was all absurdly high until Griffin Upholstery replied my quote request. I booked a time with Scott and dropped the car off. He was very knowledgeable about the seat, told me to hold off on the passenger side for now and just deal with driver side as this problem might come back. He showed me exactly where the problem is after he took the seat cover off and repaired the seat perfectly, The price is super reasonable and I now know where to go for any upholstery issues. Highly recommend. read more

Scott is the man!! I am ecstatic to have found him and his shop. For a few weeks I was dreading driving my car because the leather had torn right down the middle seam. I could quite literally feel my butt sinking in deeper and deeper everyday lol. Scott revived my 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 back to life!! The seat is now crisp and looking better than new. His workmanship is top notch. What makes the experience even better is his awesome personality!! He's super friendly and responsive. read more

In December I inquired a couple shops on yelp for replacing driver seat leather bottom. Since my car was old and rather specific color, I inquired ahead of time to ask if he has availability in march. Please see messages below of our interaction. I believe that there are better businesses out there who have better professionalism practices, who don't engage in this kind of unwarranted behavior. Definitely don't go to a business that'll price "depending on how they feel that day" good luck with your auto upholstery projects! read more

My driver seat started tearing last spring. I got quotes from a few places on Yelp and decided to give Scott a try because of the reasonable price, the original Mercedes material he has, and it is a one-man shop. But then I got lazy and kind of forgot about it until last week. lol (So the before photo was actually taken in last April.) The crack got bigger and bigger, and I knew I couldn't wait any longer. I messaged Scott, and scheduled an appointment with him. I dropped off my car around 10am this morning, and it was done around 2:30pm. Scott didn't disappoint! He did a fantastic job and I am very happy with it. He is also very nice. Thank you so much Scott! read more

I have had 2005 HONDA Accord and it still runs really well. However this super car started to have some cosmetic issues such as peeled paint or headliner. The headliner in the backseat started to fall apart because of heat from the sun. I would like to fix it with reasonable price. I found Griffin Upholstery from Yelp. Scott was very responsive and had the best price. Quick response, good price, good workmanship. If he could have vacuumed the waste from old headliner it could be more professional. Otherwise everything is great. read more

I just recently had Scott install front OEM Leather Seat Covers in my 2006 Acura MDX. They turned out great! Scott did an excellent job. Every time I open my door to get into my car I feel like I'm getting into a new car :) His price was by far the best in the area and it was excellent quality work. He is a one man shop so if you are patient and work your schedules out the quality of work is worth wait. Thanks Scott read more

The passenger seat in my 2-door 1994 BMW would no longer tilt forward. I assumed it was a broken seat release cable and bought a new one that BMW and every online dealer said would fit my car. I brought the car to Scott. After he opened the seat, he found that that cable that BMW says should fit is different than the broken one in my car. However Scott was able to find a way to make it work by connecting the unbroken end of the old cable to my new cable. It now works and his fee was reasonable. Thank you Scott. I strongly recommend Scott and would gladly bring him more work. Plus he's a great guy. read more

Had a seat cover replaced on my 1970 Triumph motorcycle. Fast, reasonable, good work.

I was looking to do some restoration work on my newly owned 95 Miata, and had a variety of jobs that I'd like to have done (new convertible top, seat reupholster, and steering wheel reupholster). Scott quoted me numbers far lower than anyone else in the area for the first two jobs, and even suggested that I source some materials myself if I was interested in saving money rather than trying to charge me on materials. For the steering wheel reupholster, he stated that the time involvement made it uneconomical, but was helpful enough to suggest DIY as an alternate path that could work out. I ended up paying Scott for the convertible top replacement and the leather seat reupholstering jobs as two separate pieces of work a month apart from each other. Scott's style of business is a bit different from what you may expect: his schedule is indeed erratic, as he has a passion for music, and this little one man garage was essentially a side gig for him now after a long career owning a larger business. Although his casual persona seemed to have startled some in other reviews, I found this background reassuring: he was a veteran of the industry who was no longer prioritizing dollars per minute, but still retained a high skill level. The work itself was done exceptionally well, with drop-off for both occurring in the morning and pickup in the evening. Scott was communicative via texts about an issue that had occurred during the soft top replacement (through no fault of his own, my old tension lines had rusted out and he needed to replace them), and it was clear both days that he had booked me as the one and only customer that he was working on for the day (even though the amount paid was far less than a full day's worth of work). Both jobs were installed with great attention to detail, and he let me thoroughly inspect the work before having me go through with payment. I don't normally write reviews on Yelp, but my experience with Scott as an experienced, honest, and economical business left me with the belief that this upholstery shop is a hidden gem, and I will definitely be coming back for any future work I'd like to have done. read more

Superb work, reasonable prices. Scott did the seat removal and reinstall to address some seams within a few hours and was straightforward about timing. More than that, he was personable and we definitely spent some time talking about music and cars, and I will have a few more projects including parcel shelves and headliners in the future. Total stand up guy! read more

I took my car to Griffin Upholstery to have my drivers seat and backrest repaired. Scott did a FANTASTIC job and his prices are lower than anywhere! if I had to rate this company from 1 to 5 stars, I would give him a 10! I am extremely happy with his work and I highly recommend him for any upholstery repairs! read more

Scott was fast in communicating and very knowledgeable. He was able to provide me a quote to repair my cars vinyl seat which had cracked. He recommended the adjacent vinyl panel as well since it is a high friction/usage area. The work came out flawless and you couldn't tell there was a repair done. Highly recommend Scott and would gladly use him in the future. read more

What a gem! Scott is probably one of the nicest guys I've met. I enjoyed my conversations with him, but most importantly - he is very meticulous with his work. He did my convertible top rear window for my BMW Z3 and the car looks *amazing*. I will come back for other upholstery needs. read more

We asked Scott for assistance with replacing/recovering material on some bar stools we have, and they now look fantastic. (I will note that Scott also helped us a few years ago and that furniture still looks great now so we had no hesitation going back to Scott to ask for his help with some further furniture repairs). 100% recommend. read more

Since he did not provide an estimate for several days, we had already taken our bucket seats to another business with work underway. The estimate was average;however meeting with 3 other businesses, we are getting top quality material and labor for lower cost. read more

Scott installed in my BMW leather front seat covers that I purchased from lseat.com (very close but not perfect color match, my decision). He was extremely responsive from day one, easy to schedule, offered a great price, and did a great job always making sure to finish on schedule. We had a couple of unexpected issues - the seat heaters were attached to the old seat covers unlike older BMWs, and the added cushioning proved uncomfortable. Scott was very realistic on the time required to address both issues and very reasonable on the cost - so much so that I chose to pay him more than he asked in both instances. I highly recommend Scott for auto upholstery. read more

The headliner in my 2006 BMW Z4 had come off (due to rising temps?!) - I had searched on yelp and found 3 shops - 2 of them responded. Wardell and Griffin. Went to the former first as they had 5 star rating and responded very quickly... they took a look and said the plastic housing that covers the electronics and holds the fabric in place needs to be replaced... parts and labor would cost $1070. Seemed pretty steep to me as it was just the liner inside. Scott from Griffin Upholstery responded by then and gave me an appointment. In the meantime I wanted to get another reference point and checked with Steven's Creek BMW and they said they can only replace the top, which if they are able to source parts for my model, would run me ~$5k. To their credit they did advise me saying that I should go to after market upholstery shops which'd be far more economical, and even recommended Wardell as the best in the area. However, when I went to Scott, and saw that he is semi-retired, doing things on his own schedule, but with a passion to fix things rather than replace... I was impressed and waited a couple of days before he can take things apart to even diagnose. But Scott was confident even before opening up the top that he'd be able to find a way to fix things... and that he did indeed! With a few screws and bit of epoxy, the top looks as good as it was prior to the break down and Scott says it will hold and work as long as the rest of the top lasts!! We dont find someone like Scott that often - I consider myself lucky... not only did he save me over $1k, but his communication throughout the process, attention to detail, and quality of the work are all rare these days. Scott, you are awesome!! p.s. I also got an invitation his Rolling Stones performance in a nearby bar, but unfortunately my schedule didnt work out, but perhaps in the future :) read more

Scott, the owner, does all the work. He is a one man shop and does excellent, quality work. I had some leather seats in my car repaired, and it was all done in a day with great attention to detail and craftsmanship. Outcome was exceptional and the price was very good (great value). read more

Scott is a great guy to work with, very reasonable on pricing and delivers high-quality craftsmanship. He did a top-down reupholstery (fabric & all foam) of an Ikea couch for us. The couch was so functional in a small footprint that we decided to reupholster because we couldn't replace it. We couldn't be happier with our decision! Throughout the process, Scott was very helpful in picking the fabric and foam. He's become a friend that we will recommend to everyone. Looks like some people were put off by his laid-back demeanor, or having to wait or reschedule. We were actually late coming in for a quote and he stayed open for us and even gave us directions to his shop when we got lost. So yeah, there's another side to consider. If you're not willing to be flexible with the process you should probably go somewhere else. read more

I had two cushions from two different pieces of furniture that need repair thanks to my rather neurotic domesticated canine. I first emailed Griffin Upholstery to request a quote. He couldn't give me an exact quote because it wasn't clear what the extent of the damage was in the pics I sent. But they did give me a very ballpark figure. So I went in the shop with the cushions for a better estimate. The estimate was, by far, cheaper than the other two quotes I got (and they weren't far off from the email estimate)... by at least half, if not more. So I decided to give this place my business. Scott was very professional with me. He gave me a bunch of options and what each of those options would cost. I went with his recommendation which was also the cheapest option. He gave me a delivery date (which was 5 business days later) and he delivered on time. The quality of his work is top notch (in my opinion) and I I'd gladly give him my business again. See the pics I posted for the work he did for me. read more

Installed aftermarket covers on my older MR2. Happy with the outcome and will use again.

Scott was very responsive and great to work with. The turnaround time was excellent. I had 5 dining chairs and 1 dining bench reupholstered. The only delay was the material but not his fault. Once material came in, he turned the project around within 2 days! Very reasonably priced. Thank you! read more
