BEFORE. What needed to be done. Just the bottom of the seat.
Sheldon H.

Best price and work in the Bay Area! I've contacted many shops in the bay area for a seat repair, and Pablo's was the best in terms of pricing. I was skeptical of the work due to the pricing, but it turned out AMAZING. I was looking for an OEM look for my 03 BMW 325xi, and he even had a booklet for BMW-specific vinyl/leather. I dropped it off in the morning and was done the next day. He texted me progress pictures as well before I even picked it up. I will definitely come back again to get more car seat work done. He even cleaned the rest of the seat for me as well! He's located underneath the BMW service building. Drive down where it says "detailing" and his shop is underground in the corner.

Reasonable. Great job. 2 cars Pablo worked on over the years. Highly recommended. Will recommend to everyone. Set up an appointment!

Mobility scooter seat, with new foam, leather, and a comfortable contoured shape
Liz H.

I brought my mobility scooter here and Pablo did a GREAT job upholstering the seat. The seat itself started out as a flat cushion, and he added a couple of inches of foam, contouring it in a clever way, to be really comfortable. The stitching and work looks great and also very sturdy. Even better I asked Pablo if he could figure out a way to make the seat back better for holding my backpack. He changed the curve of the seat back and now I can hang grocery bags, my backpack, jacket, etc. on the back without worrying about things falling off.

Fixed a tear in the seat by adding the same color leather as the seats

Rick's Auto Upholstery - Rick's attention to details is exceptional!  This the front of his shop!  He has already put me on the schedule to work on my Honda S2000!

If you're looking for an honest, skilled, and genuinely helpful auto upholstery shop in San…read moreLeandro, I highly recommend Rick's Auto Upholstery. I first reached out to Rick on Yelp and he actually responded even though the shop was closed and it was his day off. He told me to stop by for a quote, and when I came in he took the time to look over everything carefully and explain my options. My Honda S2000 convertible top is shrinking and the rear glass had fallen off, which is not an easy job. Rick offered to glue the glass back in at a very fair price, but he was very honest and said he couldn't guarantee it would hold because the top is shrinking. What really impressed me was that he said if the glue repair doesn't work, he would credit the cost of that repair toward a full top replacement. That level of honesty and fairness is hard to find. He also looked at my seats and told me that if I bring in seat covers, he can wrap them for me, and he gave me a fantastic quote for that work as well. Rick was extremely patient and let me ask a ton of questions without ever making me feel rushed. You can tell he really knows his craft and cares about doing things the right way. I also saw some of the other cars he was working on and the quality of his work looked excellent. He is busy (for good reason), but he was still able to fit me into his schedule about two weeks out. I'm really excited to have him work on my S2000 and get the car looking brand new again. It's not easy to find honest shops anymore, but Rick is definitely one of the good ones.

Rick gave me a good price and put them on in a few hours at his shop. Nice guy. Apparently he drives race cars too which is pretty neat. Seat covers are a get-what-you-pay-for item. Buy accordingly.

Can't really say I recommend it. I had some scratches on my front and rear seat and wasn't happy…read morewith the color match and I did not expect a spray paint job that I could have done myself. On the blue section, and there was some over-spray and it has a yellowish green tint. It took him a few quick minutes to mix some dye and he didn't really spot check for match. I asked if he could match it better but he said it could make it worse. There was also over-spray. Frankie just blocks off the untouched spot by holding a piece of cardboard. It wasn't precision and care. Also, deep scratches could be sanded, smoothed and polished to match, but he doesn't go to this level of service. He just applies putty over it and lets you know it will leave a lump. However, the match on black was very good, almost perfect. But it felt rough due to the over-spray. Overall, I had expected a more precise hand polishing process and care for matching, but it was just quick spray paint. Deep scratches really didn't get resolved. The car is now a collectors item. I was hoping for a level of quality that matches the prestige. EDIT In response to the owner; I do not use Yelp much and do not write many reviews. But they are bad experiences that are memorable enough to share and I provided evidence (invoices and pictures) to support it. The owner's lack of accountability in his response should be a concern. I've had someone asking about his work the past few weeks (2025: 9 years later) and it prompted me to help this person and update the review and even tone it down a tad for the owner's benefit. 1 and 2. The pictures uploaded appear the same quality as the original but resized. Don't believe otherwise as the owner leads you to believe. Many of you have uploaded pictures and know this is is a lie. I believe Yelp will also dispute the owner on the quality of their site. 3. As for repairing scratches, I had no issues and mearly shared the level of service ($350 - in 2016 dollars) for the community, but the owner has a problem with me sharing it. 4. The car was just as pristine in 2016 as today 2025, 1,500 miles later. I have the invoices on the work, dated before Frankie's job. In fact, I should probably write a review on it since the owner seems to have a problem with me not writing good reviews, especially if it is redundant to many other good reviews. 5. The owner is lying about the date of the job and timing of my review. The job was done on 2/6/2016. My review was dated 5/7/2016. I moved away from the area June 2016 and was very busy with preparing for the move and finishing up my life there. 6. The owner claimed he could make it right, but as he mentioned during the job, he did not want to fix the mismatch. I had no reason to contact him further. I moved to a different area a few months later and had more important concerns than the owner's job and was fine with just writing a review. The owner needs to own it.

Literally his words, and he delivered on them completely. What set him apart was the depth he went to. He could've just wiped things down and called it a day, but instead he pulled the front seat out to find and clean milk residue that had seeped underneath the rubber mat. He used a leather soft-fill compound to repair a burn hole in the seat headrest and repainted it to match. He restored my foggy headlights until they looked factory fresh. He revived the faded exterior plastic trim. And through all of it, he kept me updated constantly, explaining exactly what he found, what he recommended, and why, with zero pressure. I really appreciate how communicative he is with his clients, it's one of my favorite things to look out for when trying out a business for the first time, and he delivered. His pricing is fair and transparent. That kind of integrity is rare. If your car needs love, take it to Paul. You won't regret it. I showed up to drop off my car extremely stressed out. It was one of those moments where I realized, yeah I haven't shown this car some love in yearsss, and I am happy I trusted Paul to bring it back to life!
