About Dortch's Auto Trim

Dortch's Auto Trim serves the Oklahoma City metro area, bringing specialized upholstery skills to one of the region's largest and most active furniture markets. Oklahoma City homeowners deal with intense summer heat and dry winters, both of which take a toll on fabric and leather over time. This shop focuses on furniture reupholstery, making it a solid option for anyone looking to restore a worn sofa, recliner, or dining chair without replacing it entirely. Locals appreciate having a dedicated upholstery resource right in the city rather than shipping pieces out of state.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which covers everything from stripping old fabric down to the frame to replacing padding, springs, and the new outer covering. Clients can bring in sofas, sectionals, recliners, ottomans, and accent chairs for a full refresh. Fabric selection is part of the process, meaning you'll work with the shop to choose a material that fits your style, budget, and how hard you actually use the piece. Repairs to structural elements like broken frames or worn-out seat supports can often be handled at the same time as the reupholstery work.

Service Area

Dortch's Auto Trim operates in Oklahoma City, serving residents and businesses throughout the metro area. Surrounding communities like Moore, Midwest City, and Del City are all reasonable drives for customers looking to drop off furniture. The shop's central Oklahoma location makes it accessible to a wide range of customers across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The frame is the most important factor. If the wood or metal frame is solid and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes financial and practical sense, especially for quality pieces. A good rule of thumb is that if the frame cost more than the reupholstery quote, it's worth doing.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this before purchasing anything. There are specific requirements around fabric width, weight, and pattern repeat that affect how much yardage you actually need, so it's smart to get guidance before buying.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in Oklahoma City?
Most standard furniture pieces take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current schedule and the complexity of the job. Pieces with tufting, intricate trim work, or custom cushion fabrication will take longer than a straightforward sofa cushion replacement.
What fabrics hold up best in Oklahoma's climate?
Oklahoma's heat and UV exposure can fade and degrade fabrics quickly, so solution-dyed acrylics and tightly woven synthetics tend to last longer than natural fibers in sun-exposed areas. For indoor pieces away from windows, the options are much broader and come down to durability and feel.
Do upholstery shops in Oklahoma City offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer this service, but it varies. It's worth asking directly when you call, especially for large sectionals or pieces that are difficult to transport in a standard vehicle. Delivery fees are usually charged separately from the labor and materials.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering it?
Yes, and many customers do exactly that. You can change the color, pattern, texture, and even add or remove decorative elements like piping, buttons, or fringe when the piece is being redone. The shop can walk you through what changes are structurally possible given your specific furniture.
