Highly recommend.

Went back to shop, Byron was out of town and I showed the problem to an assistant, who said he would show to owner when he came back in a week. This car has spent most of the time in my garage and only 5000 miles since 2019. Called Byron today and he was upset from my previous review. I sent several emails to him starting 6 days after I got the car home in 2019. I detailed with pictures the issues I found. At the time Byron responded "no excuses you should not have found the things you did. That's not how we normally let cars leave". My review just detailed the issues I found. Today Byron told me the top was out of 5 year warranty and he would not do the job even if I paid him. He protested that they always did quality work.

It was excellent work and I could not be happier. There was an issue with some small scratches on the roof, but even that was immediately taken care of with absolutely no hassle. I can't say enough about the pride they take in their work and standing up and being accountable for any mistakes - it's a rarity these days. On top of that, his price was competitive (not the least expensive and not the most) and the workmanship and care was obvious. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. Take your time, talk with Cesar, and I promise you will walk away feeling good about his work. Thank you Cesar for taking such good care of my baby - if I have any kind of upholstery work in the future, I won't hesitate to bring you my business!!

After years of going back and forth…read morewith Stoneridge Jeep and Jeep Cares trying to get my Jeep Grand Cherokee dash fixed--and getting absolutely nowhere--I was beyond frustrated and gave up. Jeep Cares knew about the Jeep Delaminating -X81 Warranty but has shown little concern--even after I explained that this is a serious safety issue, as it could prevent the airbags from deploying properly in the event of an accident. Definitely, they don't care and closed my case twice. I even reported it to 7 on Your Side but still nothing. They just referred me to the Bureau of Automotive Repairs. On top of that, I couldn't even find a shop willing to take on the job. Six years later... my driver seat torn so I found Craig's Auto Upholstery to repair the job and that came out awesome. Obviously, they saw my dashboard and advised me that they can also fix it. Craig's Auto Upholstery not only took it on, but absolutely exceeded my expectations. Victor was confident and went above and beyond--the original leather had become so hard and damaged that he had to create his own template from scratch. He carefully matched the vinyl and stitching so it looks just like the original, if not better. The process itself was no small job. An electrician had to remove the entire dashboard and then reconnect everything afterward, and it was all done seamlessly. The quality of the work is incredible--my dash looks amazing, like new again. You can tell they take pride in their craftsmanship and truly know what they're doing. And it only took Victor, Jorge and their Electrician a day and a half to complete the job making it seem like this was an easy project to them! After years of stress over this issue, it feels like such a relief to finally have it fixed the right way. If you've been struggling to find a shop that will actually take on a difficult job and do it right, this is the place. Highly recommend! Thank you Victor and Jorge! Your kindness and willing to help means a lot! Feels like I have a new Jeep now!

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.

This is the second time I had Aby reupholster the same bench. We recently made some upgrades to our…read morebedroom, so the bench needed a refresh as well. Aby did such a great job the first time, we didn't hesitate for her to do it again. I sent her a few inspiration pictures, and when I went to pick out fabric, she already had narrowed down the samples for us, which streamlined the selection process. A few weeks later Aby let us know our bench was ready. It was exactly what I wanted, and the fabric had the perfect texture and color. I'm sure I could have bought a new bench for the price of the reupholstering, but I don't think I can find one that's custom made exactly as I want.

This review is long overdue.

First off want to point out that I do not want to trash a small business owner working out of his…read morehome garage trying to earn a living. I simply want to point out the truth and experience and as a recent reviewer wrote I wonder how he gets excellent reviews when he can improve his business in several ways. Let me start with his attitude. Because English isn't his first language he overcompensates by showing confidence in how he talks and comes off arrogant to a normal person. But of course I am willing to overlook this because all I care about is getting the value and end result of my project. I conclude he only talks the way he does because he wants to show he isn't some minority that is ready to be exploited. Ok so I get that.. And his loud voice is simply because he is hard of hearing. I confirmed that because the guy I asked to drop my items off to him yelled back at him and Enrique said why are you yelling at me, and he said because you raise your voice first. Enrique then said its because he is hard of hearing. Now onto the work. 1) I believe Enrique isn't used to dealing with higher end quality cars. I wanted alcantara material on my headliner that matches what I already have. I brought to him my own true alcantara fabric. He wanted to give me some fake material instead and said mine was not the stretchable kind. So I reorder another set of padded fabric and he still says it's wrong but tried the job anyway. Shown in the pics is his incomplete job and the work another shop finished where Enrique couldn't. 2) he asked for a deposit before the job and as someone indicated only accepts cash. Why ask a deposit when you have all my material and it's you who owes me a job done? You have my material so if I don't pay you I have nothing. 3) fortunately he gave me my deposit back because he couldn't finish and I brought it to another shop that got the job done. I believe he's ok for the basic work, but because he didn't complete it I can't give him an acceptable rating. Instead of giving 1 star I give 2 stars because he gave my money back without too much resistance.

Quick response, very fair prices, and great work. Finished full headliner replacement in 4 hours!…read moreMany years of experience and knows what he's doing. Very happy customer and would use again.
