I had some leather peeling back on my car. The dealership recommended Lim and I understand why. Lim looked at my issue and gave me a very reasonable price. Their place is close to the Chantilly Auto Mall. The quality of their work is amazing. It looks brand new. They also non car upholstery work like sofa cushions. I would highly recommend Lim. read more

April 13th I can definitely see why this shop is appointment-only. They do great work, and their pricing was much better than other quotes I received. I have a 2004 Toyota Solara that I inherited, and the soft top clearly hadn't been replaced before. They communicated well throughout the process, and I'd recommend coming in ahead of time so they can assess exactly what you'll need. In my case, they let me know I needed a rain gutter along with the replacement. They were also willing to install the top I provided (with the understanding that it wouldn't come with a warranty), which I appreciated. On top of that, they stayed after hours so I could pick up my car, which meant a lot. I know how much that can impact someone's day. The reason for 4 stars is that part of the interior lining came loose a few days after the installation. I got it done April 10th. I was able to fix one section, but not the rear. I do understand that since the top was provided and had been sitting uninstalled, some issues may come up. I've reached out and am waiting to hear back, and I'll update this review based on how that experience goes. Update (April 13th): I wanted to update my review--I'm really happy with how this was handled. I was able to come in the same day, and they fixed the interior lining perfectly. I forgot to add that day of they discovered I needed a new passenger side tension cable and they got it done on time ontop of the original service. They explained that the top I provided had excess fabric on the backing, which is what prevented the rear section from attaching properly. They also took a look at the middle section and let me know that if it comes loose again, they can secure it further with screws to prevent future issues. I really appreciate that they worked with the parts I brought and still made everything come together correctly. That kind of flexibility goes a long way. I also asked about getting some work done on my leather seats out of curiosity, and they gave me a solid quote along with options; either sourcing parts myself or going through them. Overall, I'll definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you again! read more

Best Upholstery shop around! Great service and pricing . I won't go anywhere else! They do it all!

Lims Upholstery replaced the top on my convertible and did an amazing job. This is a true mom & pop shop and I really support businesses like this -- because it's getting harder and harder to find upholstery shops that still do quality work, don't upcharge, and actually care about the result. They know not many shops do this kind of work anymore, so they stay VERY busy -- keep that in mind when you book. But it's worth the wait. Fair pricing, quality craftsmanship, and honest work. Highly recommend Lims Upholstery. read more

In 49 years of driving many cars, my first one, a Nissan Rogue where there was a tear in the driver's side armrest. Apparently as I found out, I was not alone. Mt dealer gave me this shop and although 30+ minutes from home, were very reasonable to replace the entire arm. I would strongly recommend. read more

Repaired my s2000 convertible top and did a great job. There were 3 holes repaired . Price was reasonable

Took my 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat to Lim's to have them install back cover, lower seat cover, and new foam cushion for the driver's seat as well as a console lid cover. The parts were ordered from a supplier in Texas that manufactures factory replacement design parts. Lim's was selected to do the installation. The parts were a perfect color and manufactured to be an exact factory replacement. Lim's gave me an excellent quotation. I dropped off the truck on Wednesday afternoon with an appointment for the work to be done on Thursday. They called that the truck was ready at 11am on Thursday. When I arrived, I could not believe how perfect the install was done!! All looked like a brand new factory installation. It was amazing and perfect. All the features of the seat functioned perfectly. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lim's. Do not hesitate for a moment if you need work done. You will not be disappointed!! read more

I went to "LIM'S TOP & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY" earlier to day (07/15/2026) to have my sunroof checked for a leak. Gave Lim my keys to my car I believe that's his name,(but I'm not a 100% sure of his name). Anyway by the time he poured some water over my sunroof from a watering can and returned my keys, my drivers door handle was completely BROKEN and hanging off the door IN A MATER OF FIFTEEN MINUTES. I asked him what went wrong with my door handle and that "Lim" man stood there and LIED to me and stated that is was like that when he started doing the testing. A VERY BIG LIE. Any REPUTABLE business that is going to work on one's car and realizes the car has an issues, (especially one that is100% visible) one would definitely point that out before even laying a finger on it especially when it is so obvious. That man broke my car door handle and stood there cuss me out while spit was flying from his mouth and completely lied about breaking my door handle that was in perfect condition when he took position of my car. Please be very, very careful and mindful of where you take your cars or other items for repair. HE BROK IT AND LIED ABOUT. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND "LIM'S CXUSTOM TOP AND UPHOLSTERY to anyone, please stay away. Also the waiting room was filthy and had a strong stench of chemicals. I mostly waited outside between 2 trucks trying to get some shade, went back into the waiting but could not stay in it for too long. Beware people. read more

Lim's Custom Top & Upholstery - Broken driver's door handle - Auto Repair Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Looks amazing, fast turn around than i expected. Perfect for the money it's worth every dollar.

High quality outfit! I have a 16 year old truck that has a headliner that was in tatters. Lims literally added another 5 years to my truck. Well worth the money$$$$$$. read more

Wow! Cannot say thank you enough. The upgraded microsuede liner was fantastic. Sold my car the next day with this amazing liner. Use them every dealer in the area does. So much cheaper then dealer. Service and value spot on. read more

Very quality service and craftsmanship and extremely quick! I came in for a sagging headliner in my 2014 Cayman and they fixed it to almost good as new. I wish 4.5 was a rating option because 4 is too low, but ultimately I was a little disappointed with the following: - Higher price than initially quoted (Initial call was 350-400, but was billed $480) - The old school scheduling (You have to call only, and there's no tracking of the appointment via name, phone or email, so it's sort of blind faith that they have you booked. Sort of odd in 2022, no? read more

Did a terrific job replacing the torn leatherette driver seat cover...can't tell it's not original! Once we got the right phone number (not the 703-893 number), communication was great and the job was done as promised. Highly recommend! read more

Lim and Joe's work is second-to-none. Top quality, very patient, and super accommodating. They replaced a soft top on my Wrangler at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely wonderful! Mr. John Yoon is a true gentleman and it was a pleasure doing business with him. I had an issue with my Jeep Wrangler JK soft top. There was water leak and driver side floor mat was soaking wet. Mr. John Yoon did a free estimate for me. He knew exactly what I needed and let me know what parts I needed to order. I left my Jeep at the shop with the required parts. Unfortunately the new windshield header was damaged inside the box while it was being shipped to me. John kept my Jeep inside his shop till I received the replacement part. My jeep was ready the next day! By the way, special thanks to Mr. Kim who did the work on my Jeep. These folks are true professionals and I would highly recommend this business to anyone. read more

We had a small repair needed to replace our leather center console armrest, Lim's team did a spectacular job replacing the leather making our car look like new again. Took his team minutes to remove item & was completed within 24 hours. Highly recommend this place for any upholstery replacements. Thank you read more

Can't say enough about them. Recently I had them install a new headliner in my Gwagon. Better then factory fit, and great detail. I have some more projects on the horizon, and can't wait to see the great work again. These folks are truly artists, and very reasonably with pricing. If your looking for custom work, this is the place! read more

Repaired the roof lining on a convertible. They replaced with fabric instead of vinyl which was a little different but still looks nice and lightweight, doesn't impact the retractable top or anything. Owner and son were easy to work with and very friendly and professional. Good pricing. read more

I had my carpet replaced in my Factory Five Cobra. John was the gentleman I worked with, and he gave me the estimate, when it could be completed, we set up the appointment, and I picked out the carpet. The job took them only a couple of days, and I was extremely satisfied with their work. The car now has a professional interior and I thanked John and his team for the outstanding result. read more

Unresponsive after attempting to get a quote for work done. Sent pics of examples and called, which a gentlemen said he'd look at them and let me know. No call or email and checked all folders. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place and the rep that helped me, Andrew. I am very detail oriented and picky so when I took my forever project car (911 Carerra S) in I had already been looking for a reputable place for a while. Lim's did not disappoint and I expanded my original design a few times to include almost the entire interior because I could tell they had a similar level of attention to detail that really made me comfortable doing so. I will definitely be back with ANY interior needs in the future. Thanks Andrew, keep up the great work! read more

I have been using Lim's Custom Top and Upholstery for years. Mr. Kim and Lee are wonderful to work with and we always appreciate their superb quality, fair prices, and workmanship.

I took my car to the dealership because the rear passenger side was leaking water. The dealership said the sunroof drain was clogged but they couldn't fix it and to take the car to an upholstery shop. I thought that was strange but started researching auto upholstery shops near me. So glad I found Lims. I was nervous they wouldn't even know what I was talking about but they understood exactly what needed to be done. I took my car in to do a water test and was able to fix it the next day. It was going to be a rainy week and they understood the urgency and got to it as quickly as possible. Everything about my experience was great. From the initial call to the pick up they were friendly, gracious, knowledgeable, and prompt. read more

My 02 Boxster's rear window dropped out of its top a few weeks ago. I contacted the shop that has done some mechanical work on it (Chapman auto in Sterling) and they recommend Lim's. I called, and spoke with them. Very friendly, and helpful. When I did get the car to them they did an excellent job and had it done quickly. I was encouraged by the fact that between the few times I went to the shop I saw no less then 5 Porsche's. I didn't want just any shop working on it. I would highly recommend them. read more

Fantastic job repairing major tears in my seats. They look brand new! Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! My Porsche 981 Cayman's headliner delaminated with out warning. I read the reviews and decided to make an appointment. They got me in on a weekend. There were plenty of color options for the headliner including upgrades like Alcántara/ Race-Tex for Porsche aficionados. I went this the OEM color match. The install was flawless. My car was clean and all of my panels were reinstalled along with electronic components. There was no Porsche tax for this job. You couldn't tell there was any disassembly. The the install was perfect and the color matched exactly. This is most definitely my go to automotive upholstery shop. read more

I needed to have my interior roof lining replaced. Lim's did a great job. It looks like new. Excellent experience, reasonable prices, very helpful employees. Definitely recommend Lim's read more

Dropped me like a rock, multiple times! I started out by requesting an informal quote online (to save time before coming in). I was pleased to get a response. I replied to that email asking for the best time to come in for a formal quote (no response). Later, I decided to stop by in person. I was told that the owner was not present and would not return for several hours (and he was needed to get a quote). Lastly, I followed-up by leaving a voicemail asking for a return call. Clearly doesn't want new customers when phone/email/in-person requests are not followed up. Best of luck guys, you need to treat your potential customers better. read more

Replaced the sagging headline on the panoramic sunroof on my X5 the price was more than reasonable, fast service and it looks pretty close to factory. Will use them when I have to replace my convertible top read more

Very professional and friendly staff. Haft the price compared to what car dealerships quoted me. My soft top was ready in no time and it looks great on my s2k. read more

If there were 6 stars Lim's would get it. I had to replace a convertible top on an older VW BUG and these guys (John and Andrew) kept me updated every step of the way. And then more work was required to fix a broken seat and rather than getting a new part they scoured EBay and found a replacement part at a much lower cost. And wait, and then something else had to be fixed and they did that too - gratis. If you need a repair to the interior or a new rag top, go to these guys. Honest, reliable, quality work, good price. read more

Our Mazda Sport Wagon's headliner was sagging everywhere, only kept up by the attached lights and handholds. It was definitely in sad shape. The turn-around time on the job was fantastic, I received a courteous notification call when it was done, and it looks like new! I would definitely recommend this place and use it again. read more

These guys were absolutely great - particularly Andrew who we worked with directly. Responded quickly, worked us in to their schedule in a timely manner and were very fair in all dealings. Highly recommend! read more

I wish there were a 10 star rating option for Lin's because they deserve it! They replaced my convertible top in record time and with quality materials that far surpassed what the factory installed. Their prices are reasonable and everyone was pleasant to work with. Can't wait for spring now so I can take my car out for a spin, even in the rain!! read more

Very happy with Lim's. They were professional and more than accommodating in replacing the top on my 2011 Mustang convertible. They came highly recommended by another car shop for this kind of specialty service. I offer my highest recommendation! read more

Highly recommended. They came in on a Saturday morning to help me out and I was out of there in two hours after fixing my horribly messed up seat. Very positive experience all the way. If you need leather repair in NOVA, use these guys. read more

I've gotten same work on different cars elsewhere and they are by far the most expertised with their work and at very reasonable and competitive prices. Headliner and sunroof repair. Did an excellent job and sunroof for 1/20 the cost of dealer. Only fixed what was needed and got it operating like new. Inside looks beautiful again. read more

I will definitely go back when needed. True professionals!

I recently took my 2005 Town and Country mini-van to Lim's to give me an estimate on repair or replacement of the driver's seat, which had two fairly large holes in the seat cushion. John was very helpful and courteous. He spent the time while I was there to identify the replacement fabric, contact his vendor for an estimate, and explain my options. We decided to replace the seat fabric only - not the entire captain's chair. I was concerned the fabric wouldn't match well since the van is nearly 10 years old. However, this ended up not being a concern at all. The work looked GREAT! The seat looks brand-new. I give Lim's my highest recommendation. I received excellent service and workmanship at a very good price. If I need additional upholstery repair work done, I will definitely return to Lim's. Thank you for a job very well done! read more

I would highly recommend. I had an issue and initially felt being ignored and wanted to write a bad review as most people do in this situation. I did not give them a fair opportunity to resolve the issue. I was wrong the owner was very professional from the moment I met him outside of hie shop until the conclusion of the issue that I had. He was even willing to take a loss on the deal above and beyond the customer service expect. I will always go to them first and I will definitely share my experience with them. The upholstery in the car was incredible better than I expected. If you need to get upholstery work on your car please go to them first if I could give 6 stars i would. read more
