I have been considering getting the seats retrimmed on my cabby. However after contacting a couple of local places I am confused.
The prices varied significantly and I just wasn't confident with either of the guys I met.
What should I expect to pay for a cloth retrim, not vw exact match but close colours. Also what difference would you expect to pay for alcantara or leather?
I will try some other places soon but think in need to know what to expect
Thanks

Always get a breakdown
1, Labour
2, Materials
3, Overhead & ancillaries.
That way you'll be able to tell the difference between the labour and material costs.
Leather is more expensive that cloth to buy and 'proper' alacantra is even more expensive.
See what they've done too. I had a chap proudly show me some seats. They had holes where he'd sewn a seam wrong. unpicked it and done it again! 3 times on one seat!!
He wanted £300 plus materials to do the two front seats.
I walked away………….
