At Auto Interior Repairs, we repair both leather and vinyl/faux leather.
Whilst leather and vinyl are a popular choice of upholstery due to the ease of maintenance, over time there are some common issues our customers come across.
Some of these issues include worn, faded and sun damaged leather, as well as cracks, tears, stains, pen marks and cigarette burns.
These issues detract from the appearance of your vehicle and the damage can reduce its value.
If you have any damage to your vehicle’s upholstery, here’s why you should get it repaired now.
Preserve the visual appeal
One of the main reasons people choose leather or faux leather upholstery is for its expensive and timeless look.
But damaged leather can spoil the visual appeal of your vehicle.
When leather or vinyl is left unrepaired, the damage tends to get worse over time, leading to enlarged rips, holes or tears.
Promptly repairing any damaged areas will help retain the appearance of your car’s interior, making it look more inviting and cared for.
Improve resale value
If a vehicle has an interior and seats that are in excellent conition (no rips, burns or faded seats) it will be valued higher than one with damaged or worn seats and trim.
Indeed, buyers will almost always assess the condition of a car’s interior when making a purchasing decision.
A car or van that is in good condition creates a great first impression and shows the buyer that the vehicle has been well maintained.
Repairing any existing damage to your vehicle’s interior will increase its value, making it easier to sell for a strong price.
Comfort and usability
Leather is luxurious and comfortable choice for car seats.
But when damaged, it can become uncomfortable, with cracks and tears that rub against your back and legs.
This can be particularly noticeable during longer drives.
Repairing any damage ensures that the seats remain comfortable and functional, providing a pleasant driving experience for you and your passengers.
Prevent irreparable damage
If left unrepaired, minor rips and holes can quickly worsen and become larger, more costly problems.
Small rips can expand and cracks can deepen, making the repair process more complex and expensive.
These faults can also expose the underlying upholstery to moisture and dirt, leading to further deterioration.
A professional repair service can prevent minor issues from becoming major issues, saving you time and money in the long run.
Environmental concerns
Choosing to reapir rather than replace damaged car seats is not only cost-effective – it is a more sustainable choice.
Leather production can have significant environmental impact, and by opting to repair your existing upholstered vehicle seats, you are reducing waste and minimising the environmental footprint.
