Summary: In this article we take a look at the benefits of repairing your car’s leather seats and how they tend to attract used car buyers.
If the time has come to bid goodbye to your car, it would probably be quite an emotional moment. The bigger thing that should bother you is to find the right buyer and fetch the right price. The used car market is fragmented and prices solely depend on the condition of the vehicle. You may be tempted to click a few photos and post it on a classified site and feel that it would immediately work magic. But finding the right buyer and fetching right price is easier said than done.Seats Matter More Than You Think The condition of the seats is one of the biggest selling or rejection points for a used vehicle. Experts in used cars say that cars with leather seats tend to find buyers easily. There is premium feel to leather seats and it has a pull factor. It is a moment of truth when the potential buyer peeks into the vehicle or sits behind the wheels. Worn out and dirty leather seats would immediately mean rejectionand good ones would arouse right emotions and push up the resale value. The Attraction For New Feel Even when people are buying a used car they want to buy something that feels new or in other words a car that has been properly taken care of. And they expect the seats to be in pristine condition. No buyer would want to drive a vehicle that has torn seats or spots all around. Even if he/she does, you would have to face negotiations over the seats and would have to bring down the price often by amounts that would be much higher than the price of premium leather seats.

Broken ArmLeather repair do not only just complete work on leather we are a all round company completing all aspects of furniture repairs.Today we were called on a customer to undertake repairs to their broken arm on there 2str sofa.When the manufactures make furniture they use a Fibre board/Cardboard to shape the arms, during the use of your furniture due to our seating habits sometime too much pressure can be applied to these areas causing for the boards to break away leaving you with a broken arm. Over 95% of our repairs are undertaken in the customers home causing less downtime of the furniture leaving for a quicker repair, most repairs like this can be completed in under a hour.We start by removing the arm from the sofa so we can get to the arm cover. Once the arm has been removed the
is unstapled from the frame showing the damage of the broken arm.img_1366Now we have full access to the arm we remove the broken arm fiberboard, which then leaves us with the frame ready to start work on. We start applying webbing straps front to the back of the arm at full tension and then some support straps from left to right.The arm is now fully repaired and is much stronger than when made from the factory, if you now apply to much pressure to the arm the webbing will allow the arm to bounce back rather than break again.
The arm now is bolted back on to the sofa and the customer has many more years of use.Need help with a Leather RepairInfo@leatherrepairs.mobi
Alfa Romeo RenovationWe were tasked to repair and restore Alfa Romeo car seats and door cards, being a classic car these were showing there age along with lots of wear and tear with a lot of staining which has been caused by water damage, this in turn made the seats to be unsightly.
Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 1)We stated by deep cleaning the seats using a strong Leather Cleaner and a tampico brush to reach deep in to the grain. This enable us to remove as much of the surface dirt as possible.Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 2)Removing the manufactures finish using a Leather Prep, when restoring a classic car seat like these it is very important to remove as much of the top finish as possible, the seats over the years would have been cleaned and creamed and sprayed with a large number of leather cleaners and protection creams and without removing all of these would leave for a short lasting repair.Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 3)Now the leather has been prepped we can undertake repairs to any of the leather surfaces, i.e. rips or tears, in this case there was only a very small out of repairs hat required to be undertaken.Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 4)Due to the vast amount of water damage it was vital to apply a stain blocker prior to any new leather dye to be added this blocks in the staining on the leather which means the stains would not bleed back through at a later date.Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 5)We apply a base coat of leather dye by hand and a cloth making sure the new leather dye reaches all the hard to reach areas allowing for a great adhesion base coat. Once this has been completed we build up the colour using a air brush leaving for a nice uniformed finish, at this stage the seats are now looking like new and just require sealing.Alfa Romeo Renovation (Stage 6)By applying a new sealant to the top finish allows for the leather dyes to be sealed in and a lot harder finish to stop the premature wear and tear.
Below are a few more pictures taken on this renovation we also undertook the repairs on the pvc door cards, we have brought this interior back up to a car showroom condition which the customer can now start showing the car at car shows across the Uk, if you have a classic car of any kind Mobile Leather Repairs will be able to help.
