Leather refurbished!

My 2 front seats had some leather issues. Luckily I found the best leather guy in town to refurb them. (My out of state dealership picked up the tab 👍🏻 He says he does work for about 35 local dealerships. Dude is an artist. I got his contact from my local MB dealer. Mixes all the dye on site etc. look at before and after. F'in good as new!!! I'm OCD about my leather

Wow, that's really impressive and makes me want to do it for another car I have. What was the cost?

Side note, I sold my 996TT for the E63 and I do miss it some days. Good to see some common car choices here

Thanks guys. It was really reasonable. $125 and he came to my office.

Yeah, I love my 996tt. It's fun to row thru the 6-speed. It's also held it value quite well.

he mixed the dye in his truck and then kinda primed it and filled a few spots that needed it then kinda air brushed it. I didn't watch the whole process.

I had a Lexus LS 460 years ago and went to the dealer I seen a guy working on a es350 interior was trashed all scratched up on the dash and interior pieces , he told me come back in 30 mins , I went back and couldn't believe it was the same car amazing job , They definitely are artists, he did mix paints to perfectly match the beige color and did use a airbrush

That really looks great. I'll have to check with my dealer to get my seats in the R171 refinished. They're starting to look shabby on the outside driver side bolster.

no rubbing off at all. you're able to drive away / use the seats right after he completes the refurb.


I got a few PM's and request for Matts info. I've texted and asked Matt if we would mind me sharing his info. It took me a **** load of persistence and me showing up at MB of LB to get his number. I'm just not sure he likes doing one car. I will post back after he texts me back.

UPDATE:
leather guys name is matt 951-595-3453. he said call or text for onsite leather repair

E63S 2016 [W212 ] :::: E55 2002 [W210 ] [31k miles] ::: TARGA4S 2007 [ 997.1 ]
My side bolsters are showing similar wear, I have tan interior.
Would this be covered under warranty. I don;t think it is normal that this should happen . 2016 E63
Thanks for any insight.
