Services & Process

Kikos Upholstery handles auto upholstery work including seat re-covering, door panel repair, convertible top replacement, and headliner installation for cars, trucks, and classic vehicles. On the furniture side, the shop does full reupholstery for sofas, chairs, and other household pieces, including fabric replacement and cushion work. Auto upholstery often requires working with vinyl, leather, and specialty automotive fabrics that need to withstand heat, UV exposure, and daily wear. Furniture jobs draw on a different set of materials and techniques, but the fundamental skills of cutting, sewing, and fitting fabric cleanly apply to both.

Service Area

Kikos Upholstery serves Eastpointe and the surrounding communities in Macomb and Wayne counties, including Roseville, St. Clair Shores, and Harper Woods. The shop's location on the eastern edge of the Detroit metro makes it easy to reach from both the northern suburbs and the city itself. Customers from across the region come in for both auto and furniture work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Kikos Upholstery restore the interior of a classic or vintage car?
Auto upholstery shops that work on classic cars are used to dealing with older patterns, discontinued materials, and non-standard seat configurations. A good shop will source period-appropriate fabrics or find close alternatives when originals aren't available. If you're restoring a classic in the Detroit area, it's worth calling ahead to discuss the specifics of your vehicle's interior.
What's the difference between auto and furniture upholstery?
Auto upholstery uses materials designed to handle heat, sunlight, and moisture, including vinyl, automotive leather, and specialty foam that doesn't break down in a car's environment. Furniture upholstery uses softer, more decorative fabrics not designed for those conditions. A shop that does both has to be skilled in different material properties and stitching techniques, which speaks to the range of their expertise.
How long does a full car interior reupholstery take?
A full interior overhaul on a passenger car can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the complexity of the job and the shop's current workload. Simple repairs like a single seat re-cover are usually much faster. Plan on leaving the vehicle with the shop and arranging alternate transportation if it's a major project.
Can the shop fix a tear in my car seat without replacing the whole seat?
Small tears and cuts can often be repaired using patch techniques or leather fillers, depending on the material and location of the damage. If the tear is in a high-stress area or the material is heavily worn around it, a full seat cover replacement might give a better result. Ask the shop to take a look before deciding, since they can tell you which approach makes more sense for your specific situation.
Do you need to remove car seats before bringing in a vehicle for upholstery work?
Most auto upholstery shops prefer to remove and reinstall seats themselves as part of the job, since they can work more efficiently with the seat out of the vehicle. Bring the car in as-is and let the shop handle the disassembly. If you've already removed seats yourself, confirm with the shop whether that affects the quote.
Can Kikos handle both my car seats and a living room chair in one visit?
Since the shop does both auto and furniture upholstery, there's no reason you can't discuss both projects at the same time. You might get a combined quote or at least save yourself an extra trip. Call ahead to let them know you have multiple items so they can set aside enough time for the consultation.
