I never once rushed him as I wanted the job to be done right. When I called him out on it, he tried skirting the issue. The car is almost 10 years old I get it. All you.had to do was say something. He begrudgingly offered to replace it. Here we are 21 days later and nothing. Not even a phone call, no follow up.. nothing!! I called the dealership and the part is a whopping $38. That's it. Some serious piss poor customer service. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place is a joke. Another follow up. Less than a year after the headliner install, both c pillars and a pillars were not installed correctly. The retaining clips we're smashed, and a screw on each c pillar was missing, making the c pillar come loose. Please please do not go here.

They made some great recommendations and explained the different materials and what would look good and last the longest. I was even able to get seat heaters added! If you've ever had seat heaters you know they're so nice to have in the winter. The end result was even better than I expected. They were even able to recondition the hard surfaces. I'm not sure if they're plastic or rubber or some combo but they look like new! So whatever they did it was perfect! The hardest part now will be making sure my kids don't mess it up.

I was going to get the work done with an upholsterer that I had used years ago for another vehicle, but they were no longer in business. I turned to Yelp and read through numerous reviews and felt that AB Auto Upholstery was right choice. I drove over and spoke with Abel, who I found very friendly and knowledgeable. He looked the area over, confirmed they could do the repair, quoted me a price, and even said that they would do the work on a Saturday. It took about 3.5 hours to repair the damaged area on my seat and it looks absolutely brand new. I am pleased with the quality of the work and how the color matches (keep in mind this seat has about eight years of wear, so the color is a tad brighter because of newness only). Thank you Abel and team for the awesome repair job.

The shop reupholstered my front and back bench seats in a 60's era stock looking black vinyl, which is exactly what I was looking for. The new seats made my car come alive. I couldn't be happier with how the job turned out. I love my car and I feel like the guys at El Cajon Auto Trim did her right! Not to mention the price was very fair and was much less than some other shops. It is clear these guys have been doing this for many years and have mastered their craft. There are many previous reviews who mention the owner being crabby and rude. I found him to be a no BS kind of guy who cuts straight to the chase. As long as you don't need to be coddled, this is the shop for you.

I could not tie it down as it would not tighten and left a pond after each rain. I tried to take it back and Carlos was tough to deal with. He would not admit there was a mistake and I would have to bring the boat back in. All the cover needed was the cuts on each side extended about four inches and sewn up to allow for the tower. I had to go out of town For work on a three year site. I would empty the cover and move it around every now and then but jsut gave up. So now the inside is destroyed, the cover is destroyed ($1800), and the seats are destroyed ($4000). It's funny though, I had them covered most of the time except the very back and you can see in the pic the seam has given way already. Looked good when new. They are nice until there is an issue. I did try and get it fixed right away and there was an issue with getting it in and then I left for the job site.

I wanted to share my recent experience in the hope that it saves someone else some time and money…read more Someone recently tried to pull the shark fin antenna off the roof of my car, leaving it loose. After doing some online research I assumed it was a fairly straightforward repair, so I stopped by Arroyo Brothers Upholstery for a quote. I mentioned that I'd happily pay around $100 if it was simply a matter of dropping the rear of the headliner and tightening the 10 mm retaining nut. The owner, who told me he'd been in the business for 40 years, laughed and said the entire headliner would have to come down, it would take half a day, and the job would cost $285. That didn't sit right with me, so I decided to get a second opinion. I took the car to AJ's Upholstery, and the experience couldn't have been more different. They confirmed that only the rear portion of the headliner needed to be lowered, accessed the antenna bolt without any damage or creasing, tightened it up, and had me back on the road in just over an hour. Total cost: $100. In my case, that's a $185 savings, about 65% less than the original quote. I'm not suggesting every shop has to charge the same, but this experience reinforced the value of getting a second opinion before committing to an expensive repair. I can wholeheartedly recommend AJ's Upholstery. They were honest, professional, reasonably priced, and did exactly what they said they would, without any problem AJ's Upholstery Phone: 661-431-4702 sdupholsterybyaj@gmail.com Hey, I work hard for my money, and I appreciate businesses that treat their customers fairly.
