They reupholstered the rear seat of my 69 Firebird in black leather to match the look of bucket seats I bought. They also embroidered a Pontiac arrowhead logo on the seat back. It came out fantastic. I highly recommend their work.

Brought vehicle there after recent purchase to fix several issues. Expensive but did the job. However car came back with small dent in hood. A few weeks later master cylinder failed. Had vehicle flatbedded over and explained to owner car had no brakes. Despite my warning, an employee drove vehicle into shop and ran it into back of another car, resulting in almost 6k worth of damage! Inexcusable.

I have used Automat several times over the last 8+ years to service my Porsche Carrera 2. Most recently they replaced the convertible top and integrated rear plastic window, and also installed new custom fitted floor mats with the Porsche crest. I am very happy with the service and quality of workmanship of Tim and the Automat team.

I have been using AutoMat for years and Tim's technicians keep getting better and better. There is no one else in the auto upholstery business who has the skills and talented crew of AutoMat. I originally found AutoMat for some custom floormats for a Mazda Miata. Then future projects included the beautiful customization of two motorcycle seats, an interior in a BMW, and just today a convertible top for a Ferrari project. Tim not only has well-trained techs, but also sources the correct fabrics and leathers he knows will work well for your project. Moreover, because they have a large and safe facility the job gets done in a timely manner. Everyone likes to say "The Best" but AutoMat truly is!
