Default Sport Seat Reupholstery – Autos International or Autobahn Interiors

I am looking to have a pair of late-80's / early-90's sport seats reupholstered in either partial or full leather, still undecided.



By good recommendation, I was leaning towards Autos International. However, I understand Autobahn Interiors is former Autos International upholsterers. Both shops look to do stellar work, but neither seem to have many examples of their work on late model cars. They both seems to specialize in 356 and early 911’s.



Does anyone have experience with either of these shops, ideally with late model sport seats? Advice, recommendations, and photos are welcome!

@salty87 @schroederhc1

Thanks for the LART recommendation. I'm familiar with his work. Not sure who he outsources to though.

I've heard/seen such good things about the two AI shops that I'll likely give one of them a try. I'm hopeful I'll find someone that has sport seat experience with either of them

@Metal Guru

In your case, was AI, Autos International or Autobahn Interiors?
