    I had a decent sized tear on my driver’s seat that I assumed meant replacing the whole thing, and I’d basically accepted the cost until a colleague told me to just get an opinion from an upholstery place first. Turned out the tear was repairable with a proper patch and re-stitch that matched the original leather almost perfectly, and I honestly can’t find where the repair was unless I know exactly where to look. The whole thing cost a fraction of a replacement and the car was back the same day. I found https://zenfoautoservices.ae/car-upholstery-service-abu-dhabi/ while comparing options and it made me realise how many small repairs are possible that I’d written off as full replacements. Wondering if anyone else has had a repair that lasted years, or did the patch eventually start separating again? Would be useful to know what to watch for down the line.
