Hi all

Would anyone recommend an Auto Trimmer/ Upholster who specializes in Recaros in the Goldcoast area. I've had a couple of quotes and it would be cheaper to buy a good quality second hand set :(..
I have even called Honda and their prices were a joke.

Cheers

What do you need done?

what exactly do you want to get repaired?

if the bolsters on the side are starting to sag or crumble you can order a new set of bolsters and then replace them yourself

other than that, you'll have to be more specific for us to be able to help.

If it seems really dirty and worn. You'd be surprised how much a upholstry cleaner n elbow grease will restore it.

Thanks guys for all your imput guys as its been very helpful, 45SET i checked out that website and got the prices for the parts i need to repair the drivers chair...

Bolster Cover @ £58.00 each X2 = £106.00
Outer Backrest Foam £50.43
Bolster Foam - Right Hand £29.56
Bolster Foam - Left Hand £29.56

TOTAL £215.55

Thinking for buying some good quality second ones, I've seen two sets on ebay going for $850.00 to $989.00. Thinking of taking that option as the passenger seat is pretty bad too. I knew it would be $$$ but not this much.

Thanks again all
