Trimmer in North of England

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good trimmer in North of England

My car is painted but not trimmed out inside and whilst I made a start on it last year I have decided to cough up and take it to an expert

I have black seats and dash but was thinking about getting the seats and dash retrimmed in Cream Leather with Blue carpets
I don't have the time or expertise to do the job to the required standard myself and so want to take it somewhere where they will do the lot

I live in Leeds but am happy to tarvel to get the job done right

Anyone recommend any top trimmers who would do a great job for me

Also anyone got any idea how much I would be looking at for a full seats dash recover and carpets fitted etc

Many Thanks

Cheers

Jame,

I used the Trim Shop in Redditch, good price (£1000) for seats, dash, doors, cockpit surround, gear/handbrake boot and carpets. I'm very pleased with the quality.

Regards

Michael

RE: Trimmer in North of England

If you don,t get a recommendation look up Car Trimmers in Leeds on Yell.com. I can supply the leather for you at trade price. You would require 2 hides to trim the whole car which would work out to about £180.00. This is half the price a trimmer would charge to supply. e.mail your address to arc@universal-trading.co.uk and I will send you some samples of our range in magnolia's. For your info.my local upholsterer charged me £60.00 per seat to recover although this was 4 years ago.

If anyone else wants to follow the same route,e.mail me with colour preference and address

Hi Michael

Thanks for feedback
Did you have templates for doors and dash surround or did trimmer fabricate

Do you have any pics of the finished job

Cheers

James
