Kevin is the man!!! I needed my headliner dropped and reinstalled for a Prinsu roof rack install from Rack Attack. He made the whole process super easy. He gave me the best price out of all the shops by far! Not only that but he dropped the headliner in about 30 mins. And since my install with Rack Attack wouldn't be done in time, Kevin offered to come in on his day off Saturday morning to reinstall the headliner so I didn't have to wait til Monday after work. Super impressed with how easy he made the whole process. Great price, great work, and just an all-around good guy. Highly recommend Kevin at KC Upholstery. read more

Would recommend this business to everyone! Amazing customer service. They go above and beyond and you can tell they care about their customers. I have a tricky chiropractic table that needed to be reupholstered and he took the time to come to my office, take the part off the table and then reattach the part after service. I am blown away at the quality of the work done as well. Overall 10/10 experience and will be a repeat customer. read more

I recently had my car's headliner replaced at K.C. Upholstery, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results! My headliner was falling down, but now it looks even better than the original factory installation. The quality of the work is outstanding, and you can tell he really knows his craft. He was super easy to work with--great communication throughout the entire process, and he was always quick to respond to my messages. The quote he gave was very reasonable, and a great value. Not only does he do automotive upholstery, but he also works on boats, furniture, and more, which shows the breadth of his expertise. If you need any upholstery work done, I highly recommend K.C. Upholstery! read more

Oct 2023- Had deck cushions completely replaced. Measurement guy said he could get them made and foam we wanted in time. We hired them based on their word. There are many companies in the area we could have chosen. A few days before we had to leave company tells us they they don't have the foam we picked out. Company said they had comparable foam to what we ordered with one they had in stock. We had no choice but to accept their replacement foam trusting that they said it was comparable. Company is blaming us for accepting replacement foam which we didn't see until the day they delivered the cushions and we were pulling out the next day. Replacement foam is complete garbage. Contacted them to see if they would own up to using extremely sub par foam. Tried discussing with them to work on getting replacement to what we originally ordered when we are in the area again. Their response was we had to come in to chose foam we want. Um, can't come in because we are not in area yet and what we want is what we originally ordered. Cushions are one year old. You look at the pics and decide if the foam they recommended is anything you'd be happy with. Remember, this is only one year old and they started looking like this after 3 months. People who come to our boat have to use a cushion to sit on our cushions. read more

I found this shop on Craigslist. Gave the owner, Kevin, a call. I wanted to get my seat foam in the driver's seat repaired, and my headliner restored or replaced. I talked to him about some options and ultimately trusted him to do whatever he thought was best for the seat, and to replace the headliner. Both jobs took less than a day and were done professionally. I will update if anything about the work falls apart in the future, but for now I am more than happy with it and it looks great. Headliner is brand new and my seat no longer causes back pain. It was also very fair pricing. read more

Kevin, the owner of KC Upholstery was a pleasure to work with. I brought three kitchen counter bar stools to be reupholstered. I purchased the material at a JOANN fabric store. Kevin also replaced the foam and support straps. The bar stools are better than new. They are absolutely beautiful. Before selecting KC Upholstery to do the job, I read the store's reviews. The couple of negative reviews that I read seemed to me to be unfair and I believed that the writer was being unreasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend KC Upholstery to my friends. read more

My favorite leather swivel chair from the late 1970's broke. I called several places and sent photos of my chair. Kevin was the only one who said he could fix it.

His work is excellent. His prices are more than fair. read more

My 2003 Lexus SUV's leather seats have fared well over these last 20 years - with the exception of one seat panel of my driver's seat. A small hole appeared about two weeks ago. I tried some DIY repairs found in Twitter & Instagram. Didn't work that well. I then googled "car seat leather repair" and KC UPHOLSTERY popped up. I immediately drove over and KEVIN checked it out. Turns out he had matching leather and proposed a very reasonable charge. One day later it was complete and absolutely PERFECT!! I highly recommend KC and I am very thankful for Kevin's excellent work. StevenRodick@GMail.com - Point Loma read more

Kevin is awesome! He produced exactly what I was looking for with great customer service. His professionalism and passion for his work was truly demonstrated. He is true to his advertising about lightning turnaround time. He let me know it would take a half a day extra so he could find better material. I surely didn't have a problem with that! The color match of the material was right on and the quality feels top grade. Thank you Kevin. You truly are an artist. read more

Kevin is an awesome professional - he did a really nice job on my custom half doors for my suzuki SJ410 and then modified a jeep cover to go over my rack so i can keep the doors out of the sun from time to time. I'll be back with more projects as well. Can't recommend enough! read more

Even Better the 2nd time! After Kevin took care of my Xterra last year, I had him do the drivers seat in my daughter's Highlander. His service was out-of-this-world! He came to my house, removed the seat took it back to his shop. He returned the next day with it in almost new condition. Over the course of the day, he sent a few txts to confirm we liked the color and to coordinate the reinstall time. I have recommended him to friends and family and welcome any questions from would be customers. His work is so good and prices so reasonable, that I can not understand why anyone would not have him redo your worn out car seats. It 'feels' years newer. read more

I have had bad experiences in the past with upholstery people. I have been ripped off. So I was hesitant when I had to find a new upholstery person. But This guy is the BEST!! Super nice guy. Family run business. I live a block away from his workshop. He and his adorable son came over to my house and he inspected my piece that needed attention. He came back with his truck and helped me get the piece to his shop. He did a great job and was totally affordable. Highly recommend this business!!! read more

Called around to find prices for my headliner to be redone. Kevin was the only helpful person out of the 10-15 places I called. Nobody wanted to do suede and if they did it was hundreds and hundreds of dollars even with me pulling my headliner myself. I gave him my headliner with the old fabric pulled off. There was a few places that were damaged and cracking. He repaired what needed to be done and put on a foam backed suede and it was ready for pick up next day around noon when I dropped it off around 5 the previous day! I strongly recommend visiting for your needs over any other shop in the area. read more

Unbelievable service! Kevin, the owner went out of his way to assist me in determining the best option for a tear in my driver's seat. He first tried to replace the panel. When he realized the seat was all connected he personally got on eBay and found a used seat that was in perfect condition. A new one would have been $200 more (wholesale). His labor charge was fair, also. But what is most important about KC and Kevin is his diligence, kindness, strong character and even temperament. It is so nice to write a GOOD review after everything I have been through with Lexus San Diego and their awful choice of upholsterers JIM's Upholstery who they firmly stand behind. I would give KC 100 stars if I could. Thank you Kevin. You won't go wrong using this business. read more

I recently purchased a car as a project and had to address the headliner that Lotus is notorious for (In their defense, they always opted for less weight- so they just quickly glued some light/cheap material to pretty it up a bit and probably called it good). My headliner was is in terrible shape, and it made the short list of things that I wanted to do soon. Called Kevin after seeing his Craigslist ad. Admittedly, his business location was far from where I lived- but after reading some Yelp reviews and a conversation with him I knew that I felt good about taking my roof over to him so we could talk options (I called a couple places before KC and I didn't feel confident in those conversations and opted not to move past the phone calls). After a quick walkthrough over what I wanted and an explanation of what he was planning to do, we agreed on a price and I left him with my items. This wasn't a "normal" headliner repair. There's brackets and countersunk holes for hardware that took some finessing to get it done right. It even required an added trip to the hardware store for him to get some tools to remove the brackets. I get a call later on in the day to let me know my roof was ready, and they did a fantastic job! In case you didn't catch the tone in the writing, I'm happy with the results and would quickly recommend this business for their professionalism, customer service, and of course their craftsmanship. It's so good to see great family-owned businesses sticking around during this weird time! read more
