Watch: 5 Best Auto Upholstery Repair Services in New York (2026)

How we score

Rating is each shop’s live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers actually left feedback, weighed against others in the same city. Confidence blends the two, so a high rating on a small sample counts for less than the same rating across hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What auto upholstery repair costs in New York (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on the job: a small seat tear patch costs far less than a full convertible top replacement or a complete leather seat reupholster. None of the shops above publish a fixed price list, and reviewers describe getting quotes that varied based on the extent of damage and materials chosen, so the most reliable way to compare cost is to get quotes from two or three shops for your specific repair.

Serving New York and the surrounding area

These shops are spread across Woodside in Queens, Tuckahoe in Westchester, Belleville and Jersey City in New Jersey, and Brooklyn, covering most of the greater New York metro area. If you’re searching for auto upholstery near me from Queens, Brooklyn, or across the river in New Jersey, one of them is a reasonable drive away.

What to ask before you book a repair

  • Can you match the exact color and material of my existing interior?
  • Is a patch repair possible, or does this need a full reupholster?
  • How long will the job take, and can I get a loaner or ride option?
  • Do you have experience with my specific make and model?
  • What’s included in the quote, materials and labor both?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these auto upholstery shops?

We looked at real Google reviews and ratings for auto upholstery and repair businesses in the New York area, then ranked them by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Can any of these shops fix a small tear instead of a full reupholster?

Yes. Reviewers at Cesar Upholstery and Automotive Upholstery Co specifically describe patch repairs for smaller damage rather than being upsold into a full job.

Do any of these shops handle convertible or soft tops?

Yes. McCoys Upholstery and A & D Auto Upholstery both have reviews describing convertible and soft top replacements on a range of vehicles, from classics to modern sports cars.

The bottom line

For a full range of upholstery work backed by decades of history, McCoys Upholstery is the safe default. If your job is specifically a torn leather seat or console, Automotive Upholstery Co’s higher rating and detailed reviews make it worth the drive to Tuckahoe. Whichever you pick, ask for a color and material match before the work starts.
