Today, I had Ivar come by to work on some discoloration caused from sunscreen on my couch. This spot was on my couch for some time and was driving me crazy. He provided a very reasonable quote for the project size, was prompt with communication, and showed up exactly in the time frame he provided. Not only was he very personable and enjoyable to talk to, but he did fantastic work. The coloring looks natural. read more

I contacted Leather Repair OC (Ivar) due to front car seats that were showing wear. He arrived promptly and got right to work. He generously worked on two of our cars (even though I only scheduled for one) and was kind with his pricing on the second one. The colors he used matched perfectly as my main car has 2-tone colored front seats. I would recommend Ivar for leather repair services! Thanks, Ivar. read more

Wow! I was ready to replace our 15 year old recliners due to discoloration of an arm and a seat, and there had always been a "naturally" discolored patch on the top of one backrest. I came across an ad for Leather Repair OC, and thought I'd give them a try. Ivar was prompt, courteous, professional, and is a master of his craft. It's been several months since he worked his magic, and the chairs still look better than new. I am very pleased with the results, and highly recommend his work! read more

I called because a cushion on our leather couch where my husband always sits had become discolored and deteriorated. I didn't have much hope that it could be fixed and was not getting hopeful news from others I was talking to. When I saw what Ivar did I was amazed! It was nothing short of a miracle! He matched the color perfectly! The rest of the couch and the matching couch are in excellent condition and you can't tell the difference from the repaired one. The price was very reasonable and more than worth it! read more

Ivar and team just finished restoring our two 22-year old leather couches. The overall state of these couches was terrible, to put it plainly. All six cushions were dried up and dirty, with holes on some of the cushions. One of the couches had a giant tear on the backrest...it was actually this specific damage that made me realize I need to either get new couches or get both restored. I figured it couldn't hurt to inquire as to how much a restoration would cost...so went on Yelp and immediately found Leather Repair OC. Ivar is a pleasure to work with. I cannot say this enough! The website is pretty straight forward. You can contact Ivar via the website by providing your info, a description of what needs to be done, and (most importantly) photos of the project. Ivar got back to me in less than 24 hrs via email and requested more photos, at different angles, so he can better assess the damage. He's very quick to respond! After further photos, he was able to provide me with a very reasonable quote--so reasonable that I knew restoration was the right way to go! The day of restoration, Ivar and his assistant arrived 10 mins early and immediately got to work. Both were very polite and kind (Ivar was very patient with our dog who was just mad dogging them the entire time because he's such a guard dog) and they were laser focused on their work. The results were just AMAZING. The couch looks new! The large tear on the couch disappeared! Each cushion came out looking smooth and looked so dang good! It is BEAUTIFUL WORK! If you need any leather repair for your home or vehicle, please send Ivar a message via the Leather Repair OC website! You will not be disappointed. From start to finish, my husband and I were very pleased with the company. Ivar's customer service was top notch and his work speaks for itself (after all, the man's been doing this since 2007!). He also gave us tips on how to better care for our sofas! Thank you, Ivar! read more

Outstanding personal service from a pro. We had two issues (tears) with our two leather couches. Ivar came equipped to deal with both. One tear required hand stitching along a torn seam, while the other necessitated some creative patching. Both were done perfectly, so that they looked like new -- can't even see the torn area. He also noted an additional area that was splitting, which he addressed to fix it and make it all stronger. A true craftsman. And all this was done at half the price quoted by another firm. We would give Leather Repair OC our very highest recommendation. read more

This was a terrible experience. I had hired him on a prior job and he did good work and although he left my car very messy I gave him a tip on the job. This time, I asked him to come out to do a color match on my car seat and when he got here, I asked if he could fill some of the areas prior to paint--to which he did not refuse. When he finish and I inspected his work, I commented that the end result was not very good and asked if he could do the fill like I asked. He then claimed that I changed the job on him and he was very rude to me. I asked him what it would take to make the seat nicer, even if it was an extra cost, and he was very belligerent with me. It was obvious that the seat did not look good and he literally did not care at all. I went through and showed him the text messages that we had back-and-forth and expressed to him that his communication was very poor. He up charged me for coming out to me when I offered to come out closer to him previously. He was extremely arrogant and short with me. He spent 30min and charged me $240-the prior job he did for me a year ago was far more complex and he charged $200. Despite all of this, I paid him the full amount. I'm not cheap and I often tip well. I almost never leave a negative review, but this one was absolutely horrible. He may have the skill set, but his customer service is about the worst it could ever be and he has no empathy or understanding on how to keep a customer happy. If he were remotely kind and did a good job, I would have paid him even more. It's amazing how someone can stay in business with this attitude. Stay clear away. read more

Ivar was on time, very careful with bringing in his equipment, and did a great job patching my leather chair.

I spilled hand sanitizer on my tesla seats and didn't see it for days probably. It left a discoloration that was obvious. I called a bunch of people but finally found Ivar. He came to my house with his mobile repair gig and got it back to new again in a snap! Ivar is super friendly, responsive and works magic with car seat repairs! Very highly recommended!! read more

Ivar, the owner asked for details and pictures of our leather loveseat. We needed more stuffing added, as the recliners had lost their firmness. It was quite a process as he needed to turn them over and take them apart. It took quite awhile to do this process. We'd highly recommend him as he was on time, was professional and did an excellent job. 714-989-3693. read more

They came and fixed the arms on my leather chair. A few months later the chair needed to be repaired again. The chair is now going into the trash as it looks just as bad as prior to the repair. It's clear that the patches that were done were not going to last and I paid a lot money. It would have been far better to have just put the money into buying a new chair. read more

Ivar the Magician If you have any need for leather repair you should give Ivar a call. In 1 week, he has come to our home 3 times to help us with: 1) a 6 month old leather sofa with sagging cushions 2) leather restoration for the leather seats of my 21 year old Miata (see before and after photos) 3) the repair of my Miata's vinyl convertible top. Ivar's prices are a fraction of what I was quoted from other shops and his work, and work ethic is impeccable.  Plus, he's a great guy. read more

My furniture had been pretty badly damaged during a move, and I had given up all hope it could ever be repaired. Boy was I wrong. I am so grateful for these guys. They came to my house, equipped with masks the whole time, and got to work on the cuts and rips and gashes that has sullied my brand new couch. If they even got to 50% restoration I would have been grateful. They replaced it to over 90% of its pre-damaged self!! And at the best price of any competitors in the area, too! I believe in leather miracles now. Hope I won't ever have to use them again, but I know who to turn to (and who I'd recommend) if I ever have to repair any more leather. Thanks guys! read more

Ivar is amazing! I had only had my new SUV for 2 weeks when I inadvertently placed a aerosol sunscreen in a bag on the seat...2 hours later after continuous spraying my leather seat was ruined. I called Leather Repair OC and Ivar said no problem, since he was coming I asked if he could also repair leather chairs which my dog had decided to rub all over after we put his flea and tick medicine on...needless to say both were repair beyond my expectations. I don't know how he does it but it's pure magic. Since he did so well on my chairs and car seat I had him clean my couch where my same dog loves to rub and leave all his skin oils. There really is nothing he can't fix, and he stands behind his work 100%! I would recommend him any day and I will call him anytime I need help with my leather furniture. read more

If you've tried the rest - NOW TRY THE BEST! So here's the deal: I love my cat but I also love my leather furniture. Regrettably, my cat also loves snuggling up with me while I'm sitting on my leather furniture and has done tremendous damage to various chairs; especially my red leather recliner. I looked at YouTube for restoration tips as well as cleaners. I was prepared to go shopping to replace my expensive furniture. And then - I sourced Yelp and fortunately found Ivar, the owner of Leather Repair OC 714-989-3693. Super responsive, efficient, professional and a great listener and solution provider that completely and competently restored my red leather recliner to an unbelievable "As New" condition!! It was such an easy process, all I did was: Contact him He immediately responded He asked for some pictures to formulate an Estimate Sent me the reasonable estimate, and I scheduled the project. Ivar brought all of his equipment, and after covering the floor, moved the recliner and began working. Upon completion he carefully relocated the recliner and the results were UNBELIEVABLE! Good as new!!! I'm thrilled - he's earned my trust and future business! read more
