I bought a chair in a consignment store and I wanted to re-upholster/update it. I chose Tivio because he has been in our area for years and I wanted to support someone in my neighborhood. He is known for auto upholstery but he does it all. Maybe it's because we knew the neighborhood and had some laughs, but I felt comfortable telling him what I wanted and he added some pointers. I supplied the fabric and asked him if he could paint the frame. He knew someone who could do it. He gave me a very fair price for the upholstery and the re-painting. He mentioned he was busy which was no problem. This is something I wanted to do. He told me two weeks, I told him 3 would be fine. He was done sooner than expected but I wasn't ready. I finally picked up the chair and leftover fabric today and I couldn't be happier. It looks great! It is exactly as I wanted. He is an artist. He's been doing this a long time and the end result looks better than I expected. He takes pride in his work and it shows. The chair has been completely transformed. read more

Terrible service. This guy "Tivio" has horrible customer service, gives you once price and switches it up on you when you leave your stuff for service. On top of that, he will work on your stuff whenever he pleases. I've been wanting to drop off my parts for service and he tells me to "call him in a week" cause he's busy. I wait and call him the next week, tells me the same thing. I call him a third time and he tells him to call beginning of next week once more. Terrible. Go to a different upholstery cause this clown is a joke. read more

The owner "Tivio" is not a very good person to do upholstery. I took in a wooden piece for a amp rack and he did a horrible job. I paid him even more then what he had asked for the first time and the job still came out looking like trash. I REGRET wasting my time/money at that Mickey Mouse upholstery shop. I should have known better. He is not to friendly as him being the shop owner. Now I have to spend more money to get the job done the right away. If I could rate this man 0 stars I would do so. His work is trash. Do yourself the favor and go across the street. Next to 7 day tires there is a stereo shop/Upholstery Shop. It's called "Hugo's Custom Leather Interiors". They do a phenomenal job for a very good price. Word of Advice: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP! This place needs better workers and better owner ship!!!! If nothing good can be done just Shut this Dump Down FOR GOOD!!!! read more

This is the second time Tivio upholstered for me. First a reclining chair, then a leather couch. He is very good at it, knowledgeable and reliable. I feel fortunate to have found him and certainly would recommend Tivio. read more

The owner, Tivio overcharges customers. He does not tell the customer how much the charges are until the furniture is finished. I was really surprised when he charged me for a upholstery job of a simple recliner which was sold brand new for $188. But he charged me a whopping $500.00 He should assessed and notify the customer of his charges first before accepting the job. What if the customer cannot afford his fees? This is not a good business practice. Beware customers, ask him first in writing about his charges before anything! read more

When our son moved, he borrowed our old Dodge Grand Caravan and had to hang on to it overnight. I don't know how, but our carpet was moist all over the van afterwards and started stinking soon. I didn't want to tell our son, nor sell the car in the near future with mold and cause a health hazard. I had the carpet cleaned and it still didn't help. So I took it to Tivio and he replaced it with new, even better carpet quickly--and at a great price! He had done another car of ours, the headliner, before with excellence and overnight. He does very good work! read more

I went to Tivio's shop in Santa Ana for a quote on two recliners I inherited from my parents. They had been in the family for some years and were in desperate need of repair. The fabric was super dirty and the cushions were flat as can be. Tivio inspected the chairs, asked what type of fabric I was looking for and made some suggestions based on the fabric he had in stock. He provided a quote right on the spot and once I agreed, he said it would take about a week to finish. Before I knew it, he was calling to say it was done! When I picked up the chair, It looked brand new and felt so much more sturdy after all the hardware had been tightened. He even went the extra mile to remove some stickers off the wooden arms that my daughter had put on years before. I ended up dropping off the second recliner right after which he competed in just 3 days. Great work, and very easy to work with. He kept his word on pricing and delivered on the finished product! read more
