Just had a quote for leather seat repair

[cerealuk]

Just had a quote for repairing my alezan seats. The driver seat is fairly bad and the passenger seat is a little work but nothing too major.

 

The quote was:

 

Drivers seat full clean & repair to 4 panels £185

Passenger seat full clean and repair 2 panels £125

Handbrake & Gear Stick clean and repair £25

 

Does this seem ok to you guys? Before you ask, the driver seat is too far gone in my opinion to use care products. I have attached a photo of the worst part on the driver seat. Both seats seem very dry and cracked also in lots of areas.

I would ask what they are doing to repair it, but if it fixes it I would say its a fair price. You're looking at atleast £500 for a retrim, nearer £1k down south for a pukka job.

 

Mine went like that, so I ended up with some Recaro's Nissans leather truely is shockingly cack if not maintained regularly from new

There is a bloke on the e36 forum ( bmw) who does leather restoration kits, have seen some done and the difference is amazing, might be worth a try, would save quite a bit of money.

I had a kit to repair mine, but admittedly I recoloured it a completely different colour. It didnt hold up to well being black over the top of Alezan, but if you get a colour matched kit, it should work quite well. Best way is to get a sample off to them to colour match, take a little snippet off from under the seat

If the leather's dried out try a proper leather treatment - I used to use this on my horse tack - is really good - I've seen it completely re-hydrate leather reins before - and I'm away to start using it on the zed upholstery
