Hi guys,
I drive a Golf 5 and my headliner is hanqing quite far down. The average I have been quoted to replace is R2,500.
My mechanic has reported bad experiences with different trimmers. The only place he is comfortable recommending quoted me R6,500 ex VAT.
Does anyone have good recommendations on where I can get my headliner reupholstered in the Northern Suburbs, Joburg area?
Any idea on what it should cost me?
Thanks

Re: Jhb Auto trimmer recommendations
Thank you EX-DOHCTOR. That is the same place as my mechanic suggested. I am hoping to find a recommendation less expensive, or at least closer to the average quote

Two places I found recently when looking for quotes to reupholster an Up:
Handel Street Upholsterers in Florida area
Leather Boyz in Pretoria
Quotes were reasonable but I didn't use either as I didn't buy the Up (sadly). From the examples of their work that I've seen both were decent.

Just to add, I also called Handel Street and enquired about redoing my CTi interior and was told they do not work on cars so oldReegz wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 5:32 am Two places I found recently when looking for quotes to reupholster an Up:

And Chicanos Customs wanted around 25k for full golf mk1 interior redone
Try these guys as well and ask for Charlie:
