Reasonable Upholstery Work In Phx? Prefer West Valley

[1HasBeen]

We have a 2012 Acura TSX that we bought new. Mechanically, it has been super reliable, needing nearly nothing beyond normal service. The interior, not so much. The seats are failing miserably. From reading various Acura forums, this is a common issue. A seat repair/recon also guy told me it is very common on Honda and Acura so-called leather/pleather, and said it's a material issue, and repair is a waste of time. We have had cars and trucks with leather for over 30 years, and this is the only one to give trouble.

We had an excellent guy here in Wickenburg, but he moved to Cottonwood. I have gotten a couple eye-watering quotes to re-upholster. Also found a place on line that has replacement covers(not slip overs), but the site is a little sketchy looking. I haven't ruled that out, though.  Katzkin doesn't cover it.

Our son drives it, and I don't know how long he'll keep it, as it doesn't have all the whizz-bang tech of new cars.  Any recommendations for good work for a non-show car?

they are local to me in okc, they may offer something, they are about 5 miles from my house and seem to have good reviews from some buddies who have used them

Thanks, just checked them out but they don't cover 2012. Looks like good stuff, too.

Acura may have replacement covers. Either the factory leather or a cloth cover from a lower trim level. OEM will be stupid expensive. Another option is a seatcover from a junkyard car. My local mechanic told me once he had to replace a  landcruiser seat, the whole seat and bought one from Toyota to the tune of $7K after his installation.
