    Default Cost to re-trim seats

    I want to get my seats re-trimmed, to match the colour of my interior (black.) I'll probably go with black velour with black cloth inserts. How much should I expect to pay for this?

    Also does anyone know of any good auto upholstery places in melbourne?

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Thanks all for their input, keep it coming.

    I got a quote from an auto trimmer in Bayswater. He said with leather sides and cloth inserts, $1800+ for front and back.

    Absolute rip off if you ask me! I'll keep hunting around. I've heard there is a good trimmer in FTG.

    Cheers
