Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on both cars and home furniture?
Yes, Michael's handles both auto upholstery and furniture reupholstery. That's a less common combination, but it means the shop has broad material knowledge that benefits both types of projects.
Can you match the original fabric in my car's interior?
For many vehicles, especially newer models, matching original materials is possible through automotive fabric suppliers. For older or classic cars, the shop can often find period-correct materials or source close alternatives that look authentic.
How do I know if my car seat needs repair or full replacement?
Small tears, worn bolsters, and cracked leather often respond well to targeted repairs that cost much less than full replacement. The shop can assess your seats and give you an honest recommendation based on the actual condition.
What's your rating based on, and what do customers say?
Michael's holds a 4.6 rating from 17 reviews, which reflects consistent positive experiences across both furniture and auto work. A rating like that, built over multiple reviews, generally reflects reliable quality and honest customer service.
Can you reupholster a boat seat or marine furniture?
Many auto upholstery shops with experience in vinyl and marine-grade fabrics can handle boat seating. It's worth calling to confirm, as marine upholstery requires UV-resistant and moisture-resistant materials specifically designed for outdoor and wet environments.
How do I choose between leather and fabric for furniture reupholstery?
Leather is durable, easy to wipe clean, and develops character over time, but it costs more upfront and can feel cold in winter. Performance fabrics offer more color and texture variety and often hold up very well in high-use situations, especially with kids or pets.
