Need A Good Interior Shop (LA Area)

Hey, I've been talking about this for years but its time for me to finally get to action and have my interior done.

Im looking to have an Suede (Alcantara) headliner done along with my seats and restitched and new floor mats done etc.

I was wondering you guys whove done your interiors could point me in the right direction of a good shop who knows what they are doing.

Would rather not use your ex neighbor who did your cousin's girlfriend's car, lol unless he happens to own an interior shop.

Thanks in advance for the help guys!!

I don't even know if some of these places are still open, but several years ago they were generally known as the best:

1)carcraft custom interior in Torrance
2)Kreative auto interior in Rosemead
3)Apollo upholstery in Alhambra

People also mentioned this shop with positive reviews:
Garza's upholstery in La Puente.

Some of these shops might be be pricey, but you definitely want a quality job when doing something like your interior. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I had my suede headliner, pillars, and visors done at Chuy's. They did good work. The stuff is in Shane's G now.

Auto Explosion in Gardena painted all the headliner and visor trim pieces. I had to paint the moonroof trim myself.

Shane, I'm sure Chuy's can do that diamond pattern upholstery.

Shane, did you ever see the orange MB that he did the interior in alcantara..it was black with orange stitching..came out freakin sweet.

He's done some hi-end cars and his work has come out great.

Shane I also am a HUGE fan of the quilted pattern interior as it reffered to. I first saw it back in the '02 Bentley Arnage T. I fell in love and then it reappeard in the Lambo LP640 and the Aston DBS. I would like to have my alcantara headliner done in that pattern. such a luxury look.

Is Chuys open on the weekend? Unfortunately, living in Pasadena and having a job in healthcare isn't a good match for making that side of during the day. Unless he works late nights or something.

Also am I pronouncing it right (Chew-ees)? or (Chews)?
