Default Auto Interior Repair Shops

Noticed today that with the Garage getting very warm, the headliner has finally given up at the edges around the top on the Z. Backboard is visible and about 3 inches actually peeled back on the drivers side below the T-Top......

I also have a good tear in the passenger seat, so I may be looking to redo the front seats as well. (Leather is tired looking and getting more cracks each year)

So any recommendations for shops to replace the headliner, as it's ripped in quite a few spots, and clearly needs to be repaired, as well as seats....

East Granby CT, but would be willing to travel a little ways to ensure the job is done right.

I'm not sure if I can help. Probably not.

One guy has done some nice work for me, but seems to prefer eurotrash cars: http://www.unionvilleautobody.com/uafx_welcome.shtml

and one guy has done some fantastic work for me, but works mostly on older cars: http://www.interiormotivesauto.com/

Sounds perfect for what I'm looking for.... Done right but nothing more than repairing the issue... And if he can fix EuroTrash, an F-Body should be a cake walk.

So yes sounds like you can help! Thanks!

There's a guy I use in oakville CT (Watertown) called Dave's upholstery does a great job and reasonably priced. He fixed my headliner and matched it perfect 2 years ago. He maybe a ride but if you call and schedule its done that that day.

Hawks Third gen sells a new ABS headliner. redy for what ever color covering you want. if the stock headliner is peeling it usually can not be covered. its a pulp based fiber board and after it gets wet/starts to deteriorate its over. new headliner is like 100 bux and an easy recover job for yourself.

I did see that.... New job is killing me for time, and I really want to fix the seat issue as well.....

So while I hate to do it, I've found sometimes it's just easier to suck it up and pay vs. the DIY route...
