Auto upholstery shop in San Felipe?
Anyone know of a shop and contact info and maybe an address to where it is? The front seat of my truck needs redoing.

There is a sign on the hwy going into town, not sure if they are automotive or not. I'll stop in and see next time I head to town.

Thanks I'd appreciate that. I'm heading up this Friday or Saturday.
This sign is probably north of town for people coming from the north. So I probably won't see it since I am coming from the south.

I need some repairs to the soft top on my Kia. If it looks like they are set up to re-stitch some of the seams, zippers and plastic windows, please
let me know. I could also use some work on my upholstery.
Thanks for any info, Gary

I'll let you know what and if I find out. If they are an auto upholstery place they can probably handle most of your needs.

Good idea, I wish I did Facebook now. Maybe I can find someone that does and ask them for help. I also thought that if I get to SF and still don't
know how to find the place I would stop in the Autozone and ask them for directions.

Thanks, if I don't find anything in town then on my way north I'll swing into Pete's and ask around.

So there was a body there today. It's KM 185.5 just south of the fireworks stand on the west side of the road. You won't see the sign coming from the
south but if you hit the blue Bud Light store heading north you have gone about 100 yards too far. They do auto upholstery and there was 4 guys
working there.

Thanks to all, especially bajazly, that is the exact info I needed. Also thanks to Goat I'm sure I could learn from you about doing searches on
Google.

I found the upholstery shop and Bajazly directions are spot on. I asked if they could do repairs on convertible tops, restitch seams and do general
repair work and they assured me they could. It is a very small place but most upholstery shops are. The work around their waiting to be picked up by
previous customers looked good so I feel comfortable about leaving my seat. I haven't had a auto seat recovered since my high school days when we
could drive to TJ and get the whole car redone in a day for $100 to a $125. These guys quoted me a price of $250 just to do one seat on a pickup truck
and told me it would take 2 weeks. I finally got them to promise it in 1 week. Vamos a ver. If it is not done next Saturday when I head south I'm not
sure what I will do.

I picked up the seat last saturday, it was done as promised. The quality of the job was fine for what this old truck is worth. There are a few puckers
but fine for me. If you had a show car I wouldn't recommend this place.
