The first thing I think you should do is change service advisors. I took my old car in that had cigarette burns all over the backseat and headliner. They replaced both for free. I think your stealer is trying to pull a fast one.

Thanks.

Any good local furniture upholstery repair shops nearby? They may be able to repair it for way less...
