Need a good Upholstery shop

I just got a set of used Lotue Elise seats for my Miata, as well as a kit to modify them for a 5-point harness. Does anyone know of a good upholstery shop? The kit comes with detailed instructions, but I'd rather make sure it's done right . . .

There aren't alot of those around, but when I worked for Heritage Ford, we used a guy in South Burlington. He does really nice work. He is located on Swift Street, across from the jail. I can't think of the name of his shop, but I'm sure someone knows who I am talking about...

Is that the guy who does body work (also)? Shop behind his house?

Talk to Paul Dudley, there is a guy in Richmond Vt that does very good work, and is relatively inexpensive. I guess he does mostly home furnishings, as the auto upholstry business in Vermont doesn't generate a ton of business. However, he has a very extensive auto background before moving up here.

Sweet. I'll get in touch with Paul. Thanks Seth!

Contact "Big D" on dubsnorth.org forums... he had someone do the seats on his Jetta; unsure if they were local or not.

Yes. I think there is a sign for the body shop only. I think it's called something trim shop..

Maybe "Couillard's"? (79 Swift St - 862-1543) - if it's the place I'm thinking of he did the body repair on my landlord's M-B, went w/ her to drop-off - did an awesome job on the bodywork...

I'll double check w/ her later today...

Nope, Krystyna, 'midnight' Blue '07 C-class (got sideswiped in front corner by a car at customs jockeying for a lane)...

And I did have the name of the place right...
