Which shop to do leather

[Nohorserun]

I intend to change my current PVC out to leather, any recommendation?

[Singaporean1965]

I just did mine 1 week ago. I did it at Class Auto Leather (Tel: 68415288, Irene). I find their price quite reasonable. Service very good and workmanship quite good also. Give them a call to get a quote. You can also do embroidery with certain design template they have. I did a logo of my car brand.

[Nohorserun]

Thanks, how long you need to leave your car at the shop?

how long did it took for the change ? 3-4 days ?

[Nohorserun]

Can pm me their contact? Taking a look at their workmanship before I decide. I don't mind paying a bit more.

[Singaporean1965]

How long needed to leave car depends on your car. For my car, they already have the template and measurements. So when I went down on Thursday, I agreed on the colour, and design, paid $50 as downpayment. Then they make on Friday. Saturday morning drive down. They change on the spot. Lunch time collect car liao.

[Linus]

that's quick, dude. thanks for the info.

[Singaporean1965]

You meant they were quick in changing the car upholstery or my reply was quick? (Just kidding) No worries, just experience sharing, one good thing about forum. Oh ya, 1 more golden rule. Must always remember to ask for discount. I asked and I got it.

[Linus]

both. [laugh]

 

good for you. mind to share how much was the discount like ?

[Singaporean1965]

Not much though, it's $40. But better than nothing mah, $40 can pump almost 2/3 tank of petrol.

[Linus]

yeah man... the rising prices of petrol is

 

what color did you choose for the leather ?

[Singaporean1965]

They do 2 tones. If the prices they quote you will be the same as what they quoted me, it's something like that:

- Half Leather, half PVC: $690

- Half Leather, half PVC, but colour of leather is Red, Blue or Yellow (forgot the exact colours that must add $): $790

- For Full leather, I cannot remember cos out of my budget. I think it's 1K to 2K, depending on the type of leather you choose.

 

I chose black for both the leather and PVC cos it suits my dashboard and car colour bettter.

[Linus]

i guess black will be easier to maintain as well.

[Singaporean1965]

Hopefully. Dun know yet cos this is my first time. All my previous cars all fabric one Oh 1 more thing, they actually gave me a bottle of Leather maintenance kit. Some sort of spray. I sprayed yesterday, quite shinny after spraying.

[Linus]

my current ride is having fabric seats. now 5 yo, thinking of some make over.

 

does it feel oily and slippery after the spray ?

[Singaporean1965]

No, it's the non-oily type, according to what the bottle says there. It feels alittle slippery after spraying though. I cannot remember the name now cos it's at home. Tonight when I get home, check check then let you know the brand

 

Your car 5 yrs+ liao still not changing ride Mine is 3yrs+ liao. Intend to drive for another 4-5 yrs or till scrap, so just change the seats lor and made it few "brand new" again, at least interior wise.
