Seat Upholstery work- what's the going rate?
Just starting to get quotes on having a the front bench seat upholstery on my 69 Pontiac Laurentian (same interior as Bel Air) replaced. What should I expect to pay to have it recovered using NOS material (cloth/vinyl) supplied by me with new foam installed? My first quote was $12-1500...
Thanks Todd

My local guy (who does FLAWLESS work) gets a medium of $625 a pair for mid year Corvette buckets. New foam, burlap, and he will even media blast the metal brackets and retainers.

Re: Seat Upholstery work- what's the going rate?
Around here the going rate for a front bench with owner supplied seatcover material is around $600. This price included the sandblasting of the seat frame, rebuilding some of the wires and springs, paint/lube, sewing the front seat cover with the material that I supplied from SMS, and installing the cover. I thought it was a pretty good deal!

That sounds like a good deal too. My quote did not include doing anything to the existing frames..

They charge $75 an hour labor here.
Roughly 4 hours to do what you ask if you supply covers. General spring rebuilding,decking,equalizing already factored in to that.

I was just up there last week and I couldn't get him to give me a price. Not even a quote without looking. But, that sounds good!
