Excellent service. I m so impressed with the work of this Upholstery. They change the bottom of the seat and match the vinyl/leather of the driver seat. The only place that has the original material for the Mercedes Benz and they carry other original brands as well. The price was very competitive with other shops around. He did all the work the same day. I m very happy with their work. Highly recommend you this shop.

Abel and his team did fantastic work, repairing the vinyl and leather driver seat of my 2007 Saab. It s color-matched and looks brand new! They ve been in business since 1986 so they know what they re doing and they do it very well. A great value, too as they undercut a competitor in the area. If they don t answer the phone, keep trying or just show up. They will be there during their business hours. I highly recommend them!

Do not take your car here! I brought my car in and inspected the roof upholstery with the owner Abel. My car was in perfect condition including the windshield. When I picked it up my windshield was broken. Both Abel and his employee denied breaking it. I am a financially sound and have no need to scam anyone, do not trust these guys. They are unprofessional and dishonest.

I'm so glad I found this place! They replaced my Subaru's light color seats as I had a tear. Super nice job, my seat looks brand new. Great place, definitely recommend!

Abel did an excellent job matching the material and installing it on the driver seat of this 2006 Lexus LS 430. His price was 3 - 4 times lower than other auto upholstery places and it only took a couple of hours!

Abel is the best, I will not go any other place! I spent months trying to find a part for my car to fix my soft top and had no luck. Abel was able to configure a part from his shop to do the job. Nobody else in the state would take the time to find a solution. There is a reason why this shop has been around for over 37 years. Thanks so much again Abel, I can't recommend this place enough!

Spoke with Abel and he gave me ways to save money on the work I asked for. This gave me a sense of trust and ease you don't get many places.

I pulled up in my Mercedes with black leather seats and met Abel, owner. He was very accommodating, friendly and it was immediately apparent he was a seasoned pro! In assessing a tear in the drivers seat he proposed couple options to repair and he was very fair with pricing. Abel did a fine repair job and drove away from his clean shop as a happy customer! Thanks for a pro job!Service: Upholstery repair

Abel is AMAZING! He went above and beyond my expectations. I needed the center console material replaced as it had cracked. I was able to find replacement material for the make and model of my car, and he installed it to perfection, it s even better than the original! He also fixed my floor board mat area that secures the floor mat to the floor. It had come loose, and all other upholstery places told me that it was a lost cause. This man knows his stuff and is truly talented! I will only bring my car to him for any upholstery needs! Thank you Abel!Service: Upholstery repair

AB Auto Upholstery is a high caliber quality business. Abel and Gustavo are very professional and detail minded. Iwas looking for a quality place with fair prices to restore my 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner s front leather seats. I m very pleased with the work they completed and I will go to them again for my other vehicles.Services: Custom upholstery design, Upholstery repair, Upholstery installation

Went there for a quote. Quoted me $250 over other upholstery places for a simple headliner upholstering. They also looked like they didn't want to take on the job so maybe that's why they quoted me that expensive.Can't judge his qualifications since I didn't get my job done.Never going there again and would not recommend it.

Completely impressed. He accommodated a Saturday appointment for an estimate and explained the process to me. They repaired my Volvo convertible headliner for a great price. A few other companies said it was not possible. 6 months later, it still looks great! They were kind, professional with quality work.

Dropped my car off in the morning, they were so friendly and knowledgeable on my cars upholstery and what the fix needed was. Picked it up later in the day good as new and extremely reasonable price!

Abe was very professional with replacing my headliner on my Mercedes SLK, and repairing a small tear on the side of my driver's seat. He did an awesome job. I will be using him, and recommending him to my friends and family.Service: Upholstery repairService: Upholstery repair

After the local dealer basically told me to pound sand after the drivers seat broke in my 2004 Pilot, these guys found a replacement seat, installed it, switched the new foam and kept the old upholstery! It looks and works perfectly! Old fashioned excellent service! Abel should teach a class!Service: Seat rebuildsService: Seat rebuilds

Fantastically nice owner named Abel. Called in and I asked him to be cheap and just do it fast. He said I could do that myself and he only does great work. What a great answer. I went and he did an amazing job, exceeded my expectations. Will go to him if I need anything else done.

Great Job. The headliner was coming off behind the visors above the windshield and called Ab on a Friday. Said if they were open I could bring it in the next day. They were and it was fixed it in less than a 1/2 hour at what I thought was a reasonable price. Much better than attempting it myself where I'm sure I would have messed it up. Highly recommended.

AB Auto Upholstery saved my Escalade's life! After 17 years, it was about to be put out of its misery, because the headliner was falling... after requiring over $1,000 in repairs every year for the past 10... They gave me a quick quote, then noticed another area that needed repair... Done in less than the quoted 30 minutes (and he delayed his lunch!) and only asked for the lower initial quote! You can BET that I added a good amount for the extra work! The old mare behaved VERY well on the way home, and I rewarded her with a car wash before returning her to the stable. Not heading to the glue factory yet! Thanks, AB Auto Upholstery!Service: Upholstery repair

I brought in an '04 Ford Mustang here for leather repair on the seat where the stitching was loose, to fix a rattle coming from the roof, and tighten up some interior bits that had become a bit loose from being in the San Diego summers. Not only did they do a beautiful job - particularly with the leather, you can't even tell it's not factory new - but they did this all for only $200. They were even able to get me in for an appointment within a few days. Would recommend HIGHLY to anyone.

After 16 years it was time to replace the cloth top on my Honda S2000. I ordered a new cloth top ($3K) from Pacific Honda on Convoy St. Pacific Honda recommended that A B Upholstery - just down the street - do the top installation, once the top arrived. The top arrived about a weeks later in three (3) cardboard boxes. I made an appointment with A B Upholstery for Thursday morning and delivered my S2000 to them on Wednesday afternoon. Late Thursday afternoon A B Upholstery called to let me know that the top was installed but that they had not opened two of the three boxes that they'd picked up from Pacific Honda. The parts guy at Pacific Honda explained that he'd ordered "everything" just in case it was needed. He refunded $1000 to me for the two unopened boxes. A B Upholstery said that there was a 1 year warranty on the installation of my new top. I am extremely happy with A B Upholstery and the parts department at Pacific Honda. If you have an S2000, this is what it takes to replace your cloth top.

Highly recommended, Ab Auto Upholstery is a wonderful place run by a friendly and helpful guy named Abel. Don't even waste your time looking for another place to go, because you won't find anything better than Ab Auto Upholstery in the San Diego area.

Called them to install a skin I had bought for the armrest between the front seats of my car. Was quoted $35 on the phone, when I got there was told it would be $75 and that they were giving me a break. Needless to say, I didn t give them business.

Fast. Efficient. Clean. All of the above. I took my 12 Fusion in there and they repaired the carpet and put in a heel pad. The only downside is that they only take cash.
