torn vinyl portion of the driver leather trimmed seat, '17 Mazda 3, 1.18.21
Dennis Y.

I needed to have something repaired to my leather trimmed driver seat of my '17 Mazda 3 car. Within the first 13 months, there was a vertical tear of almost two inches at the front/left vertical seat where the vinyl portion met the leather portion. Fortunately, during my regular Mazda dealer servicing, the service writer said it would be covered under the warranty, so that was done and all was well. Then i noticed it again and just waited for my next servicing at 24 months with the dealer. From the local dealer's viewpoint, it should have been replaced again, but MazdaUSA said no and did not approve the replacement indicating that the previous replacement was done as a good gesture as really, the warranty on THAT portion was only 12 months/12k miles. Makes you wonder when these car manufacturers tout their 3 years/36k or 5 years/50k warranty...yup, guess you have to read the fine print ! So I have been driving for almost two more years, and so the tear got slightly longer to the point..ok, I need to have this repaired. Started looking at Yelp! for suggestions, and saw Waipahu Upholstery come up with 5 stars rating from 25 reviews. I sent a request for a quote from them, and a reply came back within 12 hours. They asked for pics, so I sent two pics. Since i live practically close by to this place of business, i told them i'd bring the car over on Saturday morning for further diagnosis. This place was easy to find, located at the corner of Leoleo and Leokane Streets (makai on the same street where the old City Mill/Pflueger Honda motorcycles and the ABC Furniture Store were located) in a single level sky blue painted building that also had several other shops. That Saturday, I was met by Chang and his mother as I walked into the ample sized shop. They looked at the tear and provided me with a verbal quote and time it would take to do the repair. I was ok with both the price and time frame to wait in their shop, so I told Chang that I'd come on Monday (MLK Day). He told me to come around 8:30am when they opened. I came just after 8:30am, and saw both of them. I looked around for somewhere to sit, and Chang's mother provided me with a padded fold up metal chair, and I sat right next to Chang's desk/computer station. I was ready for the 2-3 hour wait but hoping it would be quicker than that since my okole gets sore from sitting that long. Once I got out of the car, Chang and mom began working with their air hose to remove the screws and take the complete driver seat off and carry it to their work table. I was periodically looking to see what was being done, but within about 55 minutes from start to finish and the reinstalling of the driver seat and put back the connections, the work was done ! Chang and I looked over the repair area and I couldn't see how it was ever previously torn...it looked just as good like it came from the factory ! Bravo ! I would not hesitate to return here for upholstery repairs on vehicles based on the work done to my car ! Come one, come all --- support local small businesses such as Chang and his mom at Waipahu Upholstery !

Took some seats for my 2000 silverado to get a little custom touch. I told them what I was thinking of doing. They had fabric samples so I could decide on a color and material. In less time than I was quoted, my seats were finished. They blew away my expectations when I went to pick them up. My truck is far from a show truck, but my new seats look fkn amazing! Thank you Chang and Omma

Chang and his Mom are what makes small businesses a great experience. They are just the nicest people who deliver the best of quality and value. Went to them cause of their Yelp reviews and no regrets. We needed to have a project taken cared of for a special little customer. Well Waipahu Upholstery went above and beyond all expectations. If you need anything reupholstered look no further. Surely recommend!

I love these people! They made my 12 year old car look almost brand new! My Honda door and console was shredded and I was quoted $600 from an auto repair tech to replace the panel. Someone recommended Waipahu Upholstery and wow, I'm so glad I went there. Excellent service and fabulous price. They are a small family owned business comprising of a mother and son from Korea. I'm bring my dinning room chairs in next!

Brought my dad's truck to them and I'm really satisfied with their work. I was estimated that all 4 seats would take a week to complete the work but when I dropped it off Monday morning the truck was ready in the afternoon the next day. They fixed the driver seat and backrest bolsters and they also fixed the arm rest.

Blue covered foam.

Chang and his mom are very accomplished in their Upholstry work. I had some cushions to be covered and they came out very nice.

I was puzzled because I go to a gym in the area an never noticed a furniture store. I was wrong. It is right next to the gym I go and I noticed the building ever time except, based on the sign, I always thought it was a mattress warehouse only. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses. It looks like it would be challenging to navigate if it were full, especially since there were two large delivery trucks parked outside. There is also street parking available too. The exterior of the building isn't too appealing. It is a warehouse style building crammed between a church and what looks like a woodworking shop (maybe that's where they repair furniture?). That made it a bit confusing to find the entrance. Once we found a door, we poked our heads inside to verify we were in the right place. An employee at the desk (she looked like the owner/manager by he demeanor) was on the phone but welcomed us in. After walking past the desk, we noticed all the furniture. It is a big facility but all the furniture was packed in there. The showroom had furniture for ever room in the house. I even noticed a sleeper (I have been thinking of getting one) but it was a floral colour and I want something plain with a solid colour. We saw three chest of drawers that we liked. They were simple and each was a different shade of brown. Each were approximately $900. I think the price is on par for Hawaii. Delivery to Ewa Beach would be $95. Another female employee was helpful with showing us all the different pieces and answering any questions we had. We were not committed yet so we took a business card and left. I believe we will be back.

The chair though has never been really comfortable. A few months ago I decided to see what I could do about it. I had seen an ad for Shredded Foam and yelped the company and decided to call. I spoke with Kendra and explained the problem, sent her pictures of my rattan chair and the current cushions. She knew right away that the cushions were not the right size. We also discussed options on how to make the chair more comfortable by having a fabric covered plywood base sitting on the chair bottom to support the seat cushion. I decided to go ahead with redoing the cushions and taking the chair to have it fitted for the covered base. I also decided to redo my ottoman cushion and a desk chair seat to match the new fabric upholstery. I also had two cushions made for my dining room chairs which are molded plastic chairs. Kendra took the time to make sure the cushions would fit perfectly. I can't say enough about the end result. I finally have a comfortable chair that means a lot to me and the workmanship of the cushions is absolutely perfect. My desk chair, ottoman and dining room chairs are also now more comfortable. Kendra is a joy to work with. This is a local company that provides and does great work with Aloha. If I could they would get 6 Stars!
