Definitely pull the seats yourself though unless you physically aren't able to pull and deliver them. It's typically an extra $100 per seat if you just drop your car off.

I got tired of have that hole in my drivers chair, asked several dealerships who they used and got a recommendation. For a few $$ they replaced all the leather and foam on the left side, so I'm back to the way it looked and felt when I drove SLICK off the showroom floor way back in 2004! I had asked Katskin several times in the past 10 years if they'd make leather replacements for our G35, they

I used a black leather peel and stick patch from Amazon to get me by with a large split on my passenger side bottom. Very nice quality and made in the UK. I notice it but my passengers never notice until I point it out. This would probably not work for most cases of bolster damage as it might have difficulty working around an edge and holding in a high wear area.

Will upload pics once I figure out how to get attachments to display.
For finding a shop to reupholster auto seats, I’ve found that boat and RV upholstery shops are much more common in my area and are cheaper than auto shops even though good ones can all do the same work. Just a way to expand your searching. Ask them first what they can source and supply for foam and seat cover kits before buying parts on your own. This is from experience repairing worn leather seats and cushions in another vehicle.
