Raul was able to staple this seat cover on in 10 minutes max. 20 bucks is a perfect price for the work. 5 stars

Great craftmanship and artistic upholstery work. Highly recommended for making your classic car stand out in all shows. Courteous, and conscientious work by people who have doing it for generations. They totally redesigned the seats in my VW single cab pick up truck and made them special.

Raul is amazing. He did my dentist chair in one day and it is absolutely perfect. Great craftsmanship!!! Very friendly and fast service!

I had previously taken in a 2005 Lotus Elise to have the hardtop roof relined with leather and Raul did a great job. Such a good job that I decided to bring in my other car, a 2010 Tesla Roadster to have the roof lining redone on that car. I had previously had the interior redone with diamond stitching and asked Raul to match the stitching and leather type and color. He did an amazing job and the price was great! I highly recommend Poway Auto Upholstery for anything you need done.

Before

I would give them 10 stars if I could!!! They did an amazing job designing (I just showed him pictures of our boat and Raul created), sewing, and installing new upholstery for our boat.  And they have amazing customer service - everyone went above and beyond.  I think the best service in the industry!  As for the upholstery...I will let the pictures speak for the the great quality of work they provide. So impressed!!!! AND they finished in RECORD TIME!!! PS - the gold and dark colors are the before

Driver's seat upholstered in genuine caramel leather

Raul and his crew went above & beyond to finish my front seats & steering wheel in time for a car show. Outstanding work with quality materials and very friendly guys!

Passenger seat, inner rail cover.

The staff is very friendly but seem to lack the expertise to do the job properly. I took my car in and wanted the OEM headliner. Well, what I got looked like the basic headliner as it was more rough than smooth from the sample they showed me. When they put it in and said my car was ready, the fabric wasn't even adhering to the liner. I had to take my car back to have it redone. I still ended up with the basic headliner and not the one I paid for. The headliner wasn't the only problem. I noticed that they had broken the sun visor clips that are used to lock the sun visors in place on both the driver and passenger side and tried to cover it up by screwing them in rather than getting new ones. I had to order them myself and brought them back to have them replaced. They were nice enough to do it for me and reimburse me for the cost of the clips. I was ok with this and had forgiven them for lying to me and not telling me they broke anything. I had asked if there was anything else damaged that I needed to know about and they said no, just those. However, when I was cleaning my car a couple weeks ago I had noticed that the cover near the back of the passenger seat was broken. This must've happened when they removed the seat to take the headliner out of the car. It is noticeably glued back together. They failed to tell me that they broke this as well. If they can't be honest with you when they break something and try to cover it up, then a business just isn't worth going to. Even though the headliner looks ok, I will probably get it redone in the future at another shop with the OEM material I requested and with a shop that can be honest when they break something in your car. Offering to fix it and reimburse for the part is a nice offer, but really, it is something they should tell the customer about when it happens and not try to cover it up. Now I have to replace another part on my car that is hard to find. I only gave 2 stars because Raul was really helpful and tried to help fix everything that was messed up by his staff.

I totally agree with the review about the one done on the boat. Originally we went to Poway Auto Upholstery with the assumption that with 4.8 stars of reviews, this place would provide "professionalism" and business ethics. We took 2 table tops to have reupholstered for our physical therapy clinics. The owner kept talking about guaranteed customer service satisfaction. So the first pickup, there were problems at the top and bottom of the face hole, among other things. We talked to him for quite a bit. He said that he would fix the issues and that he guarantees customer satisfaction. He 'promised' that if we're not satisfied, we can take the tables back with the condition that he removes the materials he supplied. We agreed. Who would've thought on the 2nd visit to pick up the 2 table tops, things turned uglier than before. Instead of replacing the fabric with a new one, he left nothing but a clear view of shoddy workmanship. Holes from previous staples could be seen all over. He stapled everything literally on the edge of the fabric where one tear would become a domino effect to disaster. What happened next was a nightmare! We tried to communicate with the owner about taking the table tops back; and he could remove the materials. The owner became very aggressive and raising his voice stating "What? You think you can come here and expect my work to be free!" He was contradicting everything he previously promised and stated. The owner wanted us to pay the full price for something that will rip soon due to the inferior workmanship he provided. He stated we have to pay $100 dollars per striped table in order to take them back. This took place within a 2 week period where we wasted so much time going back and forth from Escondido to Poway. I went back to the work place where I had someone speak Spanish to him; because most of the time I had a hard time communicating with him. We tried to resolve the matter by paying $100 dollars per table top to return our tables. The owner made it impossible to communicate. One minute he wants cash; which we don't use as payments for our business, then he stated we could pay by credit card. We offered him a check and he refused. He then stated he would only accept cash. By the way, we told him from the start that we have over 25 table tops which need to be reupholstered. I am so frustrated regarding this matter as to what business would do such unprofessional work! It was just the beginning with these 2 table tops, and he is willing to blow the rest of the business income he could have made. I would definitely think twice before taking anything to this company. Very unprofessional and lousy business ethics!

M3 Leather done at Poway Auto Upholstery
Jim W.

Overall, very happy with the project just completed by Raul at Poway Auto Upholstery. First, the project - replace seat covers for my front bucket (2) and rear bench seat for my BMW M3. I shopped the job around and felt buying factory direct parts was overly expensive and time consuming and arrived at Raul who's solution was custom leather. He helped me select replacement leather and even offered a design upgrade that resulted in a snazzy silver stripe down each seat, helping to accentuate the lines of the car. He even helped with the worn center console, replacing the leather on that. The price he quoted was lower than I expected, less than half the cost to procure and install factor certified seat covers from another shop. The install of the seats was super convenient, he completed all work on time and my car was only there for basically a day. The seats look brand new, although the center console doesn't fit exactly perfectly as it used to. Overall, excellent experience and a major project that I'm very pleased with.

I pointed out that the bottom seat was starting to show early signs of peeling, and they offered to replace it at a discounted rate if I wanted it done. They also made helpful suggestions and recommendations--like upgrading to real leather or doing the full seat--but there was absolutely no pressure, which I really appreciated. They promised the job would be finished by the end of the day, and they actually completed it sooner than promised. Their customer service was excellent too--they even offered to drive me home while my car was in the shop. I was a bit too far, so I took an Uber, but the gesture was genuinely appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back to them for any and all future auto upholstery needs. Highly recommend Jose Upholstery!
