I wish I took a before picture but I didn't. I had several rips and cracks in my cream colored leather car seat. Not only does the repair look like a brand new seat but it was done quickly and for such a great price. I would never hesitate to take anything to this shop. WOW!!! read more

I had a front seat in a 2012 replaced as it was ripped. I cannot believe how good it looks. Leather matches perfectly. I cannot recommend this business highly enough. Done in one day and came out beautifully. Extremely helpful and nice staff that helped me understand what was possible. Will be back for the second front seat at some point. Thanks again. read more

Had a really good experience last year with their work making new leather seats on my Toyota so brought my 56 MG roadster in requesting they make a new tonneau cover. I like to buy my old car a Christmas present every year. Glenn's folk did an excellent job making and fitting the new cover. Careful work and no creases or wrinkles! And price was extremely reasonable.....surprisingly so. Appreciate having this standard of workmanship available in today's world. read more

Great service on seat recovering. Friendly employees and timely work. Revamped seat looks great.

We had my late Dad's 1960s recliner repaired and reupholstered in leather by Ray's (now Tapia's - same crew) upholsterers in Watsonville as a Christmas gift for our son; something of his grandfather's to cherish. It's beautiful. The workmanship is outstanding! read more

Amparo did a wonderful job for us! He recovered our 6 dining room chairs. I highly recommend him!

Amparo Lopz did a beautiful job of recovering our large couch cushions and pillows! He is a Master Craftsman! His work was impeccable, timely and reasonable. He defines his profession--and a really cool guy! His workplace is an interesting eclectic walk down memory lane. We highly recommend him! He is a gem! read more

I've came here twice now, both for restoration on old (1960 era) bench seats for my trucks. Excellent craftsmanship & great price.

The new owner, Amparo Lopz, did an amazing job reupholstering the front and back seats of my Toyota Camry. I've shown it to several people and everyone is impressed. You can't tell that they aren't the original seats! Thanks Amparo! read more

Went here to get the center console cover replaced on my Honda Civic. A very small job, which they did very inexpensively for me. Very nice folks who work there! Next time I need any auto upholstery done I will for sure go to Ray's again. read more

As upholstery cleaners ourselves, we have referred Ray's many many times and have had only great feedback. Personally I have used Glen and his crew a few times to work on motorcycle seats and have been very pleased. I love their auto detailing service where they remove the seats and carpeting from the auto to very thoroughly wash the carpet kit from both sides. read more

I made an appointment for a convertible boot fit for my 1964 Chevrolet. When I showed up Glen and his crew got right on it and fussed with it till they had it just right. Nice to know there's still a place where you get good service, good workmanship at a fair price. read more

Glen is great! I have taken several motorcycle seats and other items in and his team always does a great job! He always listens to my needs, chooses or sources the perfect materials and takes the time to explain the process. Prices are reasonable and they do their best to get work done as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality workmanship. I Highly recommend Ray's! read more

I recently used Ray's to reupholster a bench seat for an old truck. It took a month from drop off to pickup, so plan accordingly. I have mixed feelings about the results. The quality is so professional and the price very fair; however, they took liberty in picking out fabric for the sides of the seat, which I had assumed would be the same as the fabric I'd chosen for the top, without contacting me and so I ended up with a poo brown vinyl that clashes terribly with my chosen fabric. Still no response weeks later after I asked why they did this. Avoid the disappointment I feel on an otherwise quality job and be VERY specific with your expectations! read more

All I can say is, it was a great experience! I met Glenn (owner), and for a busy guy he has so much patience. Had the driver's seat replaced for my 2012 Jet Liberty Jeep. Without boring anyone with what happened to the seat, I seriously would not trust anybody but Ray's (especially Glenn). He gave me options and he not only (and his staff) did a great job, he was fair and totally dependable. He'll even take the time to recommend restaurants to go to while you are waiting for your car! :-) Love him! read more

Rays reupholstered my antique Mission oak dining room chairs, which involved tightening up some wobbly frames, filling in old tack holes so new tacks would hold, repairing/retying the 100 year old springs, all new stuffing and canvas, then new fabric and tacks and welting. NOT an easy job to do right, but Rays did a fabulous job and finished before the due date. I'm a VERY picky person :) who will be taking other furniture to Rays in the future. I highly recommend them! read more

I have had a horrible experience with these folks. They had my couch for seven months; completely did it wrong and not per our discussions and instructions, wasted very expensive fabric, left the thread ends uncut throughout the pillows, they were supposed to wash the fabric before using it - they did not and hosts of other poor workmanship. Now, the owner is refusing to make it right. It will be necessary for me to bring this to the Court for resolution. They have NO clue about designer anything and the owner pays no attention to the work being done by his employees. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere unless you want a terrible outcome like mine. read more

I went down to his shop, despite the reviews, and had to walk away. His shop, specifically the office, was disgusting. Leaving my nice car at this place is not happening. Bad part of town, the owner was gone at 10:00 am on a Tuesday, the helper stated he was out playing golf and not returning till "tomorrow, I think"... Anyway, leaving anything there is a problem, awful part of town. It's your choice, a good shop or this place. read more

I had Ray's recover a motorcycle seat for me and they did a great job. The seat needed to be shaved down a little to help with lowering the seat height for my wife. Also, we decided to go with the gripper fabric because the bike is a dual-sport and sees a fair amount of off-road time. Ray's guys were able to replicate the passenger grab-strap at the back of the seat, just like factory! The only reason they're not getting 5 stars is because communication is a little slow, but that's forgivable considering the great work they do. Thanks Ray & team! read more

Needed a zipper on a guitar bag repaired. My tailor couldn't do it and recommended I find an upholsterer. Tried a few who couldn't do it locally in Santa Cruz, so drove down to Watsonville to see Ray. He took one look at it and solved the problem in less than 5 minutes. Then he wouldn't even take any money for fixing it! Wished us a Merry Christmas and sent us on our way. This guy knows his stuff and is super nice. I will definitely be going back to him when I need any other upholstery help. Go see Ray! read more

I've taken 3 motorcycle seats here. 2 dirt bike, and one street bike. All three times I have been over joyed by the quality and price I get from Ray. I dropped off my seats on a Thursday evening and explained to Ray how I needed them back by Monday or Tuesday to get outta town. Even though he was booked for weeks he told me he could get it done for me by Monday. Super friendly guy with great stories to tell also. Recommend 100% read more

Glen at Rays Upholstery worked on my 64 Shelby Cobra. I needed to have my passenger seat repaired and Glen suggested he could fix the seat a different way then I had suggested. His knowledge really helped out and the seat looks great!! I would recommend the crew at Rays anytime! Thanks guys read more

Family and I have used Ray's for years. Prices always reasonable and good workmanship. Last vehicle I took to them was a 46 willys jeep. Stock seats. Was told if I kept it covered it would last 10 years or so. Well, it was covered maybe 50 percent of the time and used for hunting, fishing and four wheeling. Guess what , 20 years later they still are there! I don't understand the two bad reviews, maybe from the competition, who knows. Anyway, bringing my 08 GMC there tomorrow. read more

I had a chair reupholstered at Ray's and it was done quickly, beautifully, and for a fair price.

I had them re-upholster a seat in my car. I was absolutely flabbergasted at how perfect a job they did. I was just so happy about it. Thanks guys. read more

I've was recommended to Ray's as a good inexpensive upholstery shop, I drove there from San Jose to get some motorcycle seat work done. It was a little slow but the work was amazingly professional and for what I thought was a reasonable price, So now I've used them three times and each time although a bit slow the work has been done very well. I've been very pleased.. so I thought I'd yelp them, now I'm about to go again, and I'm confident the result will be as satisfactory as in the past. read more

We had 4 dining room chairs to be reupholstered. We called around to several places and liked Glenn (the proprietor) on the phone. They also offered the best price. We took the chairs there and he had them done in 2 days. The workmanship was excellent and the chairs are so much more comfortable to sit on now! (oh, and nothing bad about the part of town, except it being low-income). read more

Perfection work with two leather seat bottoms on truck. Entire process was smooth. My impression if told that they can do the project...then that is going to happen. read more

Ray's reupholstered 4 chairs and 2 ottomans for me. Spectacular job at a reasonable price. I'm using them again in the near future.

Glen and crew do great work at reasonable prices, highly recommend

Glen is easy to work with and does a great job for a fair price. Had several multi-layered gazebo covers made by him and all were excellent in fit and quality. read more
