Make sure he checks with you before he starts the work. He did not match the color of the faux leather before he did the work and he picked a wrong tone. He also took the liberty to swap out another panel! So now I have 3 panels that don't match the rest of the interior. I've had another car upholsterer fix the faux leather before and they matched the color perfectly, so he might not have all the materials he needed to do the job right. When I pointed out the mistake, he was rude and told me to leave without paying him if I didn't like the work before he retreated to his office. I wish he would've offered to fix his mistake. The stitching was great, just the color was wrong. So, if you wanna save some money definitely go here, but MAKE SURE he confirms the color and panels with you before he starts the work. read more

These guys had me in and out in less than half a day to get the seam taken care of in my driver seat. By request they added a piece of foam to also get rid of the butt dents. This seat had 256,000 miles in it. Looking great now! Would highly recommend this shop. read more

I needed to replace the upholstery on the driver's bucket seat of my 1966 Mustang. I requested a few quotes and Julio responded right away. I had already purchased the upholstery since it was custom (California Pony edition) and the hardware & padding. I brought everything to Julio along with the frame. I received a call the next day that my seat was ready. When I went to pick it up Julio also gave me back parts that he didn't use. I appreciate his honesty. The seat looks fantastic. I'm happy with it. I highly recommend Matus Auto Upholstery. Julio was professional and courteous. The price was very reasonable. The quality of the work was superb, and I appreciate that it was finished so quickly. read more

After some quick research, I decided to go with Matus for a headliner replacement. They had the best price and their reviews seemed promising - they did not disappoint.

I had a 6 inch tear on my Mazda's passenger seat. I brought it in for Julio to give me an estimate. He said not a problem, he could replace the center leather panel of the seat with it matching the original. I agreed to leave the car with him for about 4-5 hours. I brought the car in at 9am and returned at 2:45. The seat was repaired and looked perfect. My wife couldn't believe the seat was ever repaired it looked so original. Julio's pricing is very fair and the work exquisite. I knew I came to the right place when I saw 2 Porsches, a Rolls Royce and other classic vehicles in the facility. I highly recommend Matus Auto Upholstery for any work you need done. read more

Great job on a Waverunner seat, reasonable prices and timely work. Also great for classic car upholstery work.

Mates replaced torn parts of my seat and did a great job! The seat looks great. Thank you!

Great service! The work was clean, quick and affordable. We will be being our cars here whenever they're in need of some TLC.

I'm so glad I ventured over to Boyle Heights to meet Matus and see the fantastic work his shop does. I dropped off my van Saturday morning to have my headliner replaced and they had the work done within 4hours! The reviews on Yelp spoke for themselves and the price plus a 90 day warranty made it the perfect choice. My new headliner is beautiful! Thank you Matus and Co. It was great meeting you! read more

If there were 10 stars available this guy would get 11. If you're even thinking of taking your car elsewhere --DON'T. Unless you want a job done second to Matus. This guy is the best of the best of the best. Did a fantastic job on my antique car's carpet. I'm taking it back for the side panels and then the headliner. read more

I was so unhappy with my car. It had these ratty, torn up, foam-spilling front seats :( I was planning on selling it - it just seemed tired and old... then I thought I should look into having them reupholstered I got a reference to Julio Matus (not Julio's in HLP) from another shop I had checked out. So I dropped in and asked for a quote. Julio looked it over, gave me a price in about a minute, and told me it would take 2 days. I dropped it off on Thursday Am and selected the material. Friday around noon, Julio calls to say its finished. When I got there and saw the work they did I was so happy. I love my car again! Julio has a very talented team. If your seats, headliner, or soft-top are lookin' kinda "maybe", go see Julio. Small, unassuming shop that does fine work for a great price. read more

Matus Auto Upholstery - Auto Upholstery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Needed my roof lining replaced and these guys did a great job. Will recommend them to anyone in the future

Matus fixed my tired, saggy headliner for what was likely the most reasonable price around. For the price, the job is quite good. More on the details of the job in a moment. It'll cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $190-$290 depending on how complicated your car is. If you have a sunroof or speakers on the headliner, it will probably be on the high side. Pro tip: If you're somewhat mechanically inclined, you can cut the cost in half if you remove your own headliner and bring it to him to repair. Of course you're going to have to reinstall it too so make sure it's worth your time and aggravation. It'll take him a few hours on a good day, so the prospect of same day pick-up is pretty good. The fabric was a 97% match. No complaints there, since my sun visors were probably faded. My only complaint is a slight wrinkle on the rear part of the liner by the tailgate. I have speaker holes in the area so it's got a complicated angle. It's only noticeable if you lift the tailgate and look very closely so it doesn't bother me too much. I didn't notice it until I started reinstalling the headliner and it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it as this is my daily beater. If it was my weekend car I'd probably point it out. Matus is pretty courteous and attentive, so that's a plus and I bet if I mentioned it to him he'd take care of it. Bonus pro tip: The neighborhood is sketch so don't hang out after dark rockin' your Run DMC gold rope chain. read more

I went into Matus Auto Upholstery shop this past weekend and they did an awesome job. We had our interior rooftop and the door side panels redone on our 2001VW Beetle. They did an amazing job.

I would highly recommend them if you are looking for honest people. Thanks Matus and the crew! read more

This place is awesome... My dad told me about this place because he got his leather and headliner work done on his old Mercedes Benz. Seats were fixed due to sagging as well as headliner for reasonable pricing. I went to get a new convertible top put on my 1965 convertible mustang. I shopped around and with this shop I felt comfortable that I wasn't getting ripped off. I think I was dealing directly with the owner - Julio. A nice guy and easy to talk to. There is no job too small or too big for this place. Reliable, trustworthy, & good work. I have recommended this place to friends and family and everyone is satisfied. read more

My mom's car was in serious need of some work on the headliner. She lives in Altadena and I was home for a few weeks. I needed someone to get this taken care of and a lot of the places in Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, all were like "oh you have to come back in a few days, leave the car here and it will cost you (insert extortionate price here)." I finally came across this place and called them around 8 am. I spoke with Matus himself and he said he could do it for me, the same day. All in all, it cost a bit more than a few places, but also a LOT less. One place told me it would cost about 500 USD to replace the fabric. I would say this place here is good, and I'm satisfied with the work he did. And for the price I paid, for a foreign car (Volvos are weird when it comes to changing headliners) and for it all in one day, I couldn't be more impressed. Thank you so much Matus. Now I don't have to worry about my mom flying all over the highways with the headliner caving in on her. One more thing, cash only, don't forget. read more

Let me start by saying that these guys are awesome. Called the shop to get an estimate on a convertible top replacement and within minutes I was quoted a price that was not only fair but way better than other shops I contacted. I took my car in on Friday afternoon at the beginning of a holiday weekend. I was contacted on Tuesday afternoon telling me that my car was ready. I picked the car up Wednesday afternoon and was on my way. Had I brought it in earlier that week they would've had the work done in a day. Not only did I leave very satisfied but I also had a couple dollars left over in my pocket. The owner was very informative and honest about what I needed done to the car and quoted me very fair prices for the services they could provide. I will definitely be returning all of my auto upholstery needs. Thanks guys. read more
