Still have a question? Call (504) 827-1338.

Can you fix just one torn seat?+

Do you work on classic cars?+
Absolutely — classic and collector cars are a big part of what we do, along with trucks and everyday cars.
Leather, vinyl or cloth — what should I choose?+
It depends on how you use the car and your budget. Come by and we'll show you the options side by side.
How long does a job take?+
Small repairs can be quick; full interiors and convertible tops take longer. We'll give you a timeframe when we see the car.
