Services

Auto Upholstery
Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Auto upholstery work covers a wide range of interior repairs and replacements, including seat re-covering, door panel work, headliner replacement, carpet installation, and custom stitching for vintage or modified vehicles. Furniture reupholstery involves stripping old fabric from frames, refreshing or replacing foam padding, and installing new fabric or leather. Having expertise in both areas means the shop understands a broad range of materials, including heavy-duty automotive vinyl, leather, and residential textiles. Customers with unique or mixed-material projects often benefit from this kind of cross-discipline experience.

Service Area

Shortycools Upholstery operates out of Saint Paul and serves customers from across the Twin Cities metro. Auto and furniture clients come from Minneapolis, the east metro suburbs, and surrounding Ramsey County communities looking for a shop that handles both types of upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster car seats in custom colors or patterns?
Yes, custom color and pattern work is a standard part of auto upholstery. Whether you want to match original factory specs or go with something entirely different, the shop can work with a wide range of automotive-grade materials.
What types of vehicles do you work on?
Most auto upholstery shops handle cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Classic and vintage vehicles are a specialty area for shops with restoration experience, so it's worth mentioning your vehicle type when you call.
How long does auto seat reupholstery take?
A single seat can take one to three days, while a full interior replacement may take one to two weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of the design, material availability, and the shop's schedule.
Can you repair a torn leather car seat without replacing the whole thing?
Small tears and cracks can often be repaired with patching or leather filler, which costs much less than full replacement. Larger damage or worn-through areas may require re-covering the seat panel for a clean result.
Do you work on furniture and cars at the same time or are they separate schedules?
Shops that handle both types of work typically schedule them separately based on their current workload. When you call, mention what type of project you have so they can give you an accurate availability estimate.
Is automotive-grade vinyl durable enough for furniture use?
Automotive vinyl is extremely durable and works well for high-use furniture in commercial or family settings. However, it may not have the same feel or range of aesthetic options as residential upholstery fabric, so it depends on your priorities.
