Car Seat Repair & Restoration
Your car seats endure daily wear — from cracks and fading to torn fabric and collapsed padding. Our Auckland team specialises in restoring seats to like-new condition using precision repairs and carefully matched materials. Whether it's a small tear or significant damage across a full set of seats, we deliver long-lasting results that improve both comfort and the resale value of your vehicle. No repair is too small or too complex.
Custom Seat Reupholstering
Ready for a complete interior transformation? We strip your seats back to the frame, replace worn padding and foam where needed, and apply your chosen fabric, leather, or vinyl with precision stitching. We offer a wide selection of materials and colours — match the original look exactly or create something completely custom. Seat reupholstering is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your vehicle's interior.
High-Density Foam Replacement
Flat or lumpy seat cushions are a sign the foam has broken down over time. We replace worn foam with high-density automotive-grade foam, cut and shaped to the exact profile of your seat. New foam dramatically improves driving comfort — especially on longer trips — and makes your reupholstered seats feel as good as they look. We stock a range of densities to suit different comfort preferences and vehicle types.
Armrest Repair & Reupholstery
Armrests take constant daily punishment and are often the first interior component to show wear — cracked vinyl, peeling leather, or flattened padding. We repair and reupholster door armrests, centre console armrests, and rear armrests using durable materials built to withstand the rubbing and pressure they endure every day. Refreshed armrests make an immediate difference to the overall feel of your interior.
Leather Conditioning & Restoration
Auckland's UV exposure and humidity are tough on leather car seats. Fading, drying, cracking, and colour loss are all common issues we see regularly. Our leather restoration service cleans, conditions, repairs cracks, and re-colours your leather seats to bring them back to life. In many cases restoration is a more cost-effective option than full reupholstery — and the results are stunning. We also apply protective coatings to slow future wear.
Headliner Replacement & Repair
A sagging or stained car headliner is one of the most distracting interior problems — and one of the most satisfying to fix. We re-attach or fully replace headliner fabric, ensuring it sits flush and smooth with no drooping or visible creases. We work with a range of headliner fabrics and can match your original material or upgrade to something new.
Carpet & Floor Liner Replacement
Worn, stained, or mouldy car carpet affects the appearance and smell of your vehicle's interior. We remove old carpet and replace it with cut-to-fit automotive carpet in a range of colours and pile heights, ensuring a clean, professional fit around all floor fixtures, pedals, and trim edges. New carpet dramatically improves the freshness and feel of your interior.
Door Panel Refurbishment
Door panels are a large and highly visible part of your vehicle's interior. We reupholster door panels in fabric, vinyl, or leather, with neat pocket and trim finishes to match your overall interior design. Whether you're restoring a vintage car's original panels or customising a modern vehicle, we deliver detailed, long-lasting results that complement the rest of your interior.

Well done team, we look forward to providing you more work over the coming years- very impressed with quality of product - prompt and easy to deal with. CheersPosted on Ronak Modi It’s amazing to get our old stuff look new. Thanks to Upholstery World.Posted on Jenna Roake I reached out to Sejal to finish some new bench seats we had put in. Both Sejal and Viraj were really prompt with coming to visit, listening to the types of fabric and interior look we were going for and produced some stunning squabs that we are really happy with. We also had our curtains shortened to suit the new bench seats. The only slight issue was that we had get the squabs and curtains redone twice. The squab piping wasn’t on the edges of the squabs and there was bulk of fabric at the bottom of the squabs. The curtains & backing hadn’t been individually sewn causing bulging at the bottom. But Viraj was more than happy to understand what we were looking for and took both the squabs and curtains back to ensure a beautiful result. Thank you both for your patience and producing a stunning feature in our home.Posted on Joanne Jorgensen 22/7/25. Viraj came out and saw us in in our home in quick time to view our very cat scratched dining room chairs. Within 1 week they were looking brand new with the fabric we had chosen from samples Viraj had brought with him. Viraj was very helpful, professional and courteous in his approach to us. The cost was very reasonable and we would highly recommend anyone looking for upholstery needs to give Viraj a call.Posted on Alison Blaiklock We thought our old sofas were so munted and worn that they were beyond repair. But Viraj and Upholstery World did amazing, beautiful and affordable work restoring them and now we feel like we are in a luxurious resort! Viraj was considerate, great to communicate with, and gave very helpful advice.Posted on Andrew Malmo I agree with the other reviewers here. Upholstery World did an awesome job of two seat cushions, I'm super happy with the result. Really great service from first contact to delivery, thanks very much Viraj! Highly recommend.Posted on Anna Trotter Viraj has just delivered our beautiful 50+ year old arm chairs recovered and they look amazing! From the moment I contacted Upholstery World we had a five star service. He was super efficient, very reasonable, he collected and returned the chairs with no hassle at all. The upholstery job is top notch and he organised the purchase of the fabric from Warwick in Auckland for me. The entire process was seamless ... big thanks to Viraj, I would HIGHLY recommend him!
