CAR INTERIOR & UPHOLSTERY REPAIRS
Restore the detail. Keep the character.
Not every damaged interior needs a complete retrim. From a worn driver’s seat to damaged leather, door panels and smaller trim components, we work on individual repairs that help bring an interior back into shape.
Sometimes, one part needs attention.
The rest of your car’s interior may be in good condition, but one worn area can still make a noticeable difference.
A split seat panel, collapsed cushion, damaged door card or tired steering wheel may need individual attention rather than a complete interior refurbishment.
Gigi Auto Upholstery works on these smaller jobs as well as larger retrimming projects.
We begin by understanding the damage, the existing material and the result you would like to achieve.
Care for the parts that show their age.
Seat upholstery repairs
Seats are exposed to repeated use, especially around bolsters, seams and the driver’s seating area.
We work on worn and damaged upholstery, assessing whether a section can be repaired or needs retrimming.
Seat padding and support
A seat can become uncomfortable even when the covering is still usable.
The workshop’s seat-repair work has included rebuilding worn or sagging seat padding as well as repairing the upholstery above it.
Leather refurbishment
Worn, scuffed or damaged leather can affect the appearance of the whole cabin.
We assess the existing material and discuss appropriate restoration, repair or replacement work.
Steering-wheel leather
Steering wheels are handled constantly, making wear particularly noticeable.
Gigi Auto Upholstery offers leather restoration, repairs and complete steering-wheel retrimming, including hand-stitched coverings.
Door cards and interior panels
Damaged or worn door panels can be repaired or retrimmed to address their appearance and relationship with the surrounding upholstery.
Headlinings and smaller trim
Sagging roof linings, damaged gear gaiters and other upholstered details can also be addressed as individual jobs.
The right work for the condition.
A repair is not always the same as a retrim.
Sometimes, the existing material can be retained and the damaged area addressed. In other cases, the condition of the covering or underlying component makes replacement the more appropriate option.
We can discuss the possibilities after reviewing the affected area.
The aim is to choose an approach that makes sense for the vehicle and the work required.
FROM THE WORKSHOP
A driver’s seat, properly attended to.
A customer reviewing Gigi Auto Upholstery on The FIAT Forum described travelling to the workshop for a driver’s seat repair.
The work included addressing sagging seat support and matching the replacement material to the original upholstery.
The review highlights an important part of the workshop’s offering: thoughtful attention to individual repairs, not only full interior projects.
Show us what needs repairing.
Send us photographs of the damaged area, together with the make, model and year of your car.
A close-up of the damage and a wider photograph showing the surrounding interior will help us understand the problem.
We can then discuss the options and whether an inspection is necessary.
FAQ
Can you repair only one section of a car seat?

Can you repair a sagging seat?
The workshop has documented experience addressing sagging seat padding and support. The condition of the individual seat needs to be assessed before deciding on the work.
Can you repair or recover a leather steering wheel?
Yes. Gigi Auto Upholstery offers steering-wheel leather repair, restoration and retrimming.
Can you match the existing colour?
Matching options can be discussed after assessing the original material. Exact availability depends on the colour, finish and material involved.
