World Upholstery & Trim - California

Anyone ever hear of these guys or work with them, or buy anything from them?

If so, any thoughts?

Had heard of them, but have not done any business with them. Some years back I got one of their catalogs (binder actually) with all their samples for leather, carpet, top canvas. Pretty cool, it had our cars plus a wider range for Benz, and stuff for a few other imports. Don't remember the cost, but it was nominal ($66 in 2004).

They are usually mentioned in the same breath as GAHH I think for things like tops and interiors. I used GAHH though and recommend them highly. For seat covers (MB-tex) and carpets I used Miller's... what you up to Mike?

Hi Michael

I bought all the seat covers, seat pads, door trims, windlace, dash trim,  soft top trim, etc from them when I did my restoration a few years back
All my trim was in black MB-Tex

Very happy with the fit & finish

Still looks new today after 5 years

I'm pretty sure (not positive) that this is the company I ordered my new seat covers and carpet from last summer and had delivered to our place in Florida; will be there to pick up and carry back to France in a couple of weeks' time so I can install it. Spoke with the owner a few times - he was very helpful.
I ordered from them after doing my research mostly on our forums on experiences with different vendors including GAHH etc. WIll report back after the install later this year.

Michael, give Armen a call, but let us know what bugs you.

Hello everyone,

The upholsterer who is doing my interior really wanted me to use World Upholstery since they have worked with them on Pagodas before.   As a result I have purchased the entire interior kit in Leather.  The kit has arrived and looks wonderful.  The car is not quite ready for the installation yet but my guy says he really likes their product.  Time will tell.

Nothing's up, my friends. Curiosity question having to do with my business.
Everyone once in a while a vendor comes up and some or many have not heard of them, so I ask here.
Seems to be generally favorable responses, and nothing is bugging me at all...
I'll give Armen a call.
Thanks all.

Oh well guess not. They're both in California, does that count?

Michael: I used them on interiors and tops in the past.  Even had them sew in the correct rear window as sourced from MBUSA.

Their leather was  used on the 250S I did many years ago   (now owned by Jonnie B)

Very pleased with the results and service.

I happened on this thread late but maybe you are interested in one more opinion. I bought a carpet set, upholstered door cards and later, vinyl paint from them. I suspect the carpet set is comparable to the others out there. The door cards were on a heavier (thicker) board than the originals (probably as are all the other current replacements).  I got tired of trying to fit them into the chrome plated channels so I threw them away and bought a used pair. Of course the wrong color which is where the vinyl paint comes in. A great product for my use. Its been several years and they still look like new. The color match (extra $5 for custom mixed) was excellent. Don't know how the vinyl paint would last on seating surfaces, but for my use it was great.

I believe your question relates more to business practices and vendor reliability rather than product quality. There was nothing negative in my experience. I would use them again.
