Compare Ford upholstery repair quotes from specialist garages

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40.

Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

Over a car's lifetime, the upholstery and seats can take a battering from spilt drinks, food and general dirt from everyday use. The fabric might suffer water or burn damage if the vehicle is in an accident or flood. Or, if the interior is leather, it may start to crack and tear with age. Fortunately, car upholstery or seat repair can get it looking good as new.

A car leather repair could take various forms, such as a leather seat repair, steering wheel repair or general restoration. Depending on the condition, a professional cleaning service might do the job for fabric interiors.

However, if the damage is more serious, you may have to consider getting new seat upholstery. The price depends on the extent of the damage and how much of the upholstery needs repairing or replacing; an entire car interior repair is likely to be expensive.
