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.

I never got around to doing it because things snowballed around me. I spoke with my brother-in-law about the price and he told me to jump on it because it's a great deal. Finally had the chance to do it and I contacted him again.. on the original thread.. from last year. Whoa! He responded fast and gave a time window to be able to do it. Alex gave me a time that he'll arrive and kept me updated on his arrival time. We talked about what needed to be done, he showed me the materials and settled on the price. He told me it'll take about 2-3 hours and he went about it. I checked every so often on his progress and Alex was very thorough. He showed me the difference in color of my old headliner due to moisture and he also told me that newer cars don't have the same quality as my older ride. He stripped the old one off and was very mindful and tidy of his waste. In a few hours as promised, he was done. It looked great! It made me wonder why I never did it sooner. For years I put up with my old headliner drooping down, but not anymore! I had a minor issue (a plug not plugged in) so I called him and he showed up the next day. I can't rave about Alejandro enough. He was punctual, professional, and best of all.. a great price! He's mobile, so it's done at your place and how much more convenient is that? Thank you so much Alex! I wish you continued success in your business!

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.

His shop has…read morerecently been renamed and moved just one block down to 296 139th Avenue in San Leandro, but it's still the same AWESOME Larry that everyone raves about -- and now I understand why. Larry does truly top-notch work and clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. I came in to ask about my convertible soft top, and he didn't just rush me out the door -- he took his time, explained everything in detail, and gave me extremely helpful and informative advice. You can tell he really knows his craft and has years of experience. He also gave me one heck of a deal repairing my S2000 seats! What I really appreciated was that he gave me different ideas and options specifically to help save me money. It was very clear he was watching out for my budget and not just trying to upsell me. That level of honesty is rare these days, and I truly appreciate quality workmanship combined with genuine honesty. On top of that, Larry is just a genuinely kind-hearted person and a pleasure to talk to. It's rare to find someone who is not only highly skilled but also honest, patient, and truly cares about helping customers make the right decisions. If you need upholstery work, convertible top work, or seat repair -- Larry is the guy to go to. Highly, highly recommend. 5 stars all the way!
