I don't live in the Bay Area anymore (I'm in SD) but when I bought my previous 911 From Claridge in Fremont, after 2 weeks I got problems with both my full leather seats. I was really worry but the service guy sent my car to a local place and they did an outstanding job. The service guy name is Kimo, he still works there and he's a very nice guy. Try to call/ask him and you can say that I gave you his name. My name is Gabriele and I'm Italian, he should remember me.

Thanks. I'll give them a call Monday. I don't think the service center is open tomorrow.


If anyone has more suggestions please feel free to add.

Two suggestions (depending on where you are):

Palo Alto Uphostery did all the interior work when I had the Roadster restored (seats, carpet, top, dash, etc.). Mike and Mitch Johnson run it. They used to be off of El Camino, but I think they are down on Bayshore now.

I have also had work done by Armand's in Walnut Creek, and would recommend them as highly. Both places came recommended by multiple restoration ******, BTW. Armand seems to do more hot rod work than sports car work, but they know what they are doing. The pictures of cars they previously worked on that line the walls are amazing.

Harold's Auto Upholstery in Mountain View did the suede in my car - I was impressed with their work.
