About us
Car Interior Repair Services for Cardiff Customers
We work with leather, fabric, vinyl, alcantara and plastic on all makes and models. Whether it’s a single burn hole or a full seat recovering, we have the tools and materials to get the result right.
- Leather Car Seat Repair — Cracks, scuffs, fading, peeling and discolouration on leather and faux leather seats. We recolour and restore to a finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding material.
- Fabric Car Seat Repair — Rips, tears, snags and stains on cloth and fabric seats. Common on higher-mileage and fleet vehicles — we repair and reinforce so the damage holds and looks right.
- Vinyl Car Seat Repair — Splits, cuts and surface damage on vinyl seats and trim. We carry materials to match a wide range of factory vinyl finishes.
- Car Seat Reupholstery — Where repair isn’t the right answer, we offer a full seat recovering service. We fit new leather, fabric or vinyl covers to your existing seat frames — a practical and cost-effective alternative to replacement.
- Car Headliner Repair — Sagging, torn or stained roof linings restored at our workshop. A very common problem on vehicles over five years old — and something most Cardiff garages won’t take on. We can.
- Dashboard Repair — Cracks, splits and scuffs on dashboards and plastic trim, repaired and recoloured to match.
- Steering Wheel Repair — Worn, peeling or scuffed leather and plastic steering wheels restored to a clean, safe finish.
- Car Carpet Repair — Burns, stains and worn patches in vehicle carpets repaired or re-cut.
- Door Card & Trim Repair — Scuffed, cracked and damaged door trims and panels repaired and recoloured.

Why choose us?
Why Cardiff Customers Choose Auto Interior Repairs
Specialist Workshop, Not a General Garage We do one thing — vehicle interior repair and reupholstery. That focus means better results than a bodyshop or garage offering interior repairs as a sideline.
Every Service Under One Roof Leather repair, fabric repair, vinyl repair, reupholstery, headliner restoration, dashboard repair — all carried out in-house by our own technicians at our Bridgend workshop.
The Repair Cardiff Main Dealers Can’t Quote Competitively On Replacing a damaged seat or headliner through a Cardiff main dealer typically runs to several hundred pounds. In most cases we repair the damage for significantly less — with results that are difficult to distinguish from new.
Trusted by Dealerships and Private Customers We work with dealerships and fleet operators as well as private customers. If you’re preparing a Cardiff-registered vehicle for sale, returning a lease car, or simply want your interior back to its best — we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Interior Repairs in Cardiff
Yes. We work with all seat materials — leather, faux leather, vinyl, fabric and alcantara. The repair process differs by material and we carry specialist products for each type.
Yes. Where damage is too extensive to repair invisibly, we offer a full seat recovering service — fitting new leather, fabric or vinyl covers to your existing seat frames. We’ll advise honestly on whether repair or reupholstery is the right option for your vehicle.
Yes — headliner repair is one of our most frequently requested jobs from Cardiff customers. The roof lining fabric detaches from the board over time due to heat and age. We re-bond and restore it at our workshop, usually within a day.
