Frame Reconditioning and Fitting

Once upon a time, old car seats only needed new seat skins fitted over old foam to look good again.

Today, our own experience and also that of our customers inform us that it is simply not good enough to keep re-using old seat foam. Some common problems of uncomfortable seats include:

• broken / fatigued / stabbing seat springs
• crushed / flattened / ripped / water, sun, rat etc damaged foam
• bent / broken seats due to historical accidents

Our Seat Restoration Process:

We thoroughly inspect frames and springs for damage and carefully repair any cracks or metal fatigue, replace sagging or broken springs and check alignment before sandblasting/cleaning, and finally apply paint to steel frames. Then we replace worn bolster, foam, listing wires and fit brand new covers and get them back to you to install in your own car.
If you’ve obtained new skins in recent times and still find your seats to be uncomfortable, chances are the springs and/or foam are still bad. While we can guarantee the result when you restore your seats using our springs, foam and skins, we cannot guarantee the same if you use skins made by other people. The reason is due to us not knowing if the skins were made based on bad seats with shrunk foam/skins. If you’re unsure feel free to reach out to us and we will happily answer any questions you might have.

Why Do Our Seats Look So Good? Because we insist on properly restoring the seats: i.e. repairing and / or strengthening the seat frames, making new seat springs and foam where required, and investing the time and effort into making the seats look and feel like they have come out of the factory all over again.
