O & R Auto Upholstery

I took some rear seats from a convertible that were trashed and some from a coupe that I got from a wrecked car. Spoke with Omar and settled in a very fair price for the work. When the seats were completed I was just blown away at the expertise and craftsmanship that was used to complete the work. The job was done excellent and a day ahead of schedule, Omar is very easy to talk to about your needs for auto upholstery.
I am going to let him replace the top on my convertible and can’t wait to see how it turns out! Stay tuned.

I’ve been working with, and referring friends to, Omar for years. My first experience with O&R was when I had my classic 1969 Coupe deVille front seat reupholstered. Amazing job! And Omar was able to find a coordinating upholstery fabric for it too! Yesterday, I took mom’s Mercedes in due to a small tear in the drivers seat. Impossible to tell that it was ever done… it looks like a factory job! I highly recommend Omar and his team for any upholstery needs you may have.

I’m writing this review since I don’t know if my partner will get around to doing it (he always forgets to write one).
So my partner decided he wanted to recover the seats in his truck. He purchased new leather EVERYTHING with the intent of doing it ALL HIMSELF. Yes, the female readers of Unilocal all collectively groaned. Thus, I spent the week before Thanksgiving being a truck widow as he holed up in the garage and dealt with this massive project.
Surprisingly, everything went fairly well until it was time to finish the jump seat. To those who don’t know, this is the little seat in between the driver and passenger seats for small children and reluctant girlfriends/​wives to sit. Yes, that was the intention but I am no longer a teenager and I don’t enjoy sitting RIGHT THERE. I would rather have a grown-​up seat, thank you very much.
This item had a top and bottom to be recovered. The top part is either a glorified glove box when it is down, or it flips up to become a seat back when you want more room in the middle. The bottom part was attached to the seat via a plastic loop that was sewn to the fabric. I have been sewing for most of my life, and I wouldn’t touch this project with a ten foot pole. I know when I am beat. But no, my partner wanted to «try» and do it himself… You can guess how this turned out: not well.
He called the original manufacturer of the covers and they agreed to install the fabric if he shipped it to them. This is an heavy item so he wasn’t too keen on paying for labor, shipping to AND from their factory in the Midwest… Thus, he kept trying.
FINALLY, he asked me to call a local upholstery shop. We had driven by O and R a million times since we started looking for homes in the area a few years ago. He gave them a call and said to bring the jump seat in. Ok, I was impressed they were even open on Black Friday. I was more impressed when he came home and they said it would be ready quickly. Huh?
Sure enough, my partner called them today (Saturday), and the jump seat was done. We drove over to the shop before it closed at 1. The jump seat looked PERFECT. The cost was VERY reasonable (I won’t post that since each job varies I’m sure). Let’s just say it was a lot less than the $ 300 that was quoted from the seat cover manufacturer. We dealt with Omar and he was a pleasure to speak with.
I will be taking my other auto upholstery jobs to him for sure. It’s difficult to trust a shop sight unseen when you have rare vehicles. I am confident that O and R will do the job right when it’s time.

Omar took on my upholstery job on a moment’s notice, he did an excellent job for a fair price, and finished everything on time. Especially compared to the other upholsterers I contacted in Marin, Omar gets six stars.

Just had my convertible top replaced on my miata and I’m so happy with the work. Omar was great!

I have used Omar for over 15 years. He has done complete interiors for cars I have built, as well as done seats, headliners and convertible tops in my hot rods. His work is refined, and articulate and I would highly recommend him to take care of your upholstry needs.

Omar did a great job on my headliner and visors. Stopped by the shop in the middle of the day just to get a quote and he gave me a really good price, so I just left the car with him. Finished in just a few hours. Looks even better than the original headliner. I like the nice, thick foam that was used.
