Frederick Car Upholstery

A Car Needs New Upholstery Too

Upholstery refers to the work done so as to provide seats of your vehicle with padding, springs, webbing, fabric covers, or leather covers. Your car’s upholstery would have either started to crumble or you would have had to feel each bump and pothole your car runs over for the comfort and relaxing feel of your car seats have gone and said goodbye. You can ask your car dealer to recommend good upholstery shops.
Upholstery refers to the work done so as to provide seats of your vehicle with padding, springs, webbing, fabric covers, or leather covers. It actually comes from the Middle English words of "up" and "holden". When put together, these words mean "to hold up".

When you purchased your vehicle, you surely have noticed that it already came with upholstery. There was nothing you can do with it but to drive around in it and relax. However, time really does bear its mark. Your car’s upholstery would have either started to crumble or you would have had to feel each bump and pothole your car runs over for the comfort and relaxing feel of your car seats have gone and said goodbye. When this happens, it simply means that it is the right time to do some reupholstering. And automobile experts say that reupholstering your car’s interior is one of the ways to make your machine look like you just bought it from the car dealer.

To have your vehicle reupholstered, start by finding the right shop to do that kind of service. You can ask your car dealer to recommend good upholstery shops. You can also ask car audio specialty shops. Or, you can ask around and ask car owners. Sometimes, the best way to find a good upholstery shop is to go to those that have been recommended by car owners.

When you have a list of upholstery shops in hand, call them and find out about what kind of upholstery they offer. That way, you can check out if they have the right kind of service that you would like your vehicle to receive. Also, ask around for prices and see if it fits your budget.

Once you have chosen your shop, visit it and see what materials they have in stock. That way, you would know your options and your choices. You would be also able to check which materials could work best for your car’s interior. With one of the upholstery shop’s personnel, discuss your budget. Ask his or her help regarding the amount you are willing to pay and the kind of work that your car could receive in exchange. The cost of materials for upholstery could actually range from $6 a yard to a whopping $75.

These shops also have some photographs of the work they have already done. You can request the shop’s personnel for them. That way, you can see what kind you would like your vehicle to have. You should also ask the personnel to explain to you the process of reupholstering your car.

While at it, you can also choose to spruce up your vehicle. Carpets, grilles, and fenders are available at Auto Parts Go at low prices. They specialize in Nissan parts and they also do offer auto parts for various vehicle models and makes as well.

Auto Upholstery Is A Skilled Trade

In centuries past a young man would learn his craft from his father, it took decades of being an understudy to learn all the ins and outs of a given profession. Upholstery is still one of those skilled trades that takes many years of practice to perfect.

Joe's Upholstery Shop in Frederick Maryland is run by Don Jenkins and sons. To help appreciate just how much goes into learning this "art form" I'm republishing a Youtube video from the ntroduction to the Auto Upholstery Program at San Diego Continuing Education on this blog.

The new world of textile technology now encompasses realms of products that were not even dreamed of ten years ago. Hightech textiles are prevalent as major components in such diverse products as artificial organs, structural bone replacements, rocket motors and nozzles, space shuttle shields, the Stealth bomber and most of the new design military, commercial and civilian aircraft, boats, bicycles, high-performance sporting goods, road beds, food/water removal systems, pollution control devices, translucent roofs for stadiums, airports and shopping malls, components for converting sea water into potable water, optical fibers for transmission of laser-pulsed communication and extended, temperature-controlled garments. Fibers that are five to ten times as strong as steel on a weight basis now provide the lead technology for making automobiles that are 50% lighter, safer and twice as fuel-efficient as current models. These examples and the history of the development of this technology will be reviewed and discussed in depth in this book.

How to Get the Right Sunroof

Maryland Auto Upholstery by Joe's Upholstery Shop
Articles on auto customization, auto upholstery, auto interiors, classic car restorations.

An Article from eHow Cars Editor

Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Learn about a pop-up sunroof. This kind of manually operated sunroof is basically a window in the roof of a car that tilts up in the rear to form a crack for air ventilation. This sunroof can also be removed altogether and stored outside the car. This is the lowest-priced sunroof, and it can fit on almost all makes of cars and trucks.
  • Step 2:
    Think about a spoiler (tilt-and-slide) sunroof. This manual or power sunroof tilts to vent like a pop-up sunroof, but it can also slide all the way open, coming to rest on top of the roof. This sunroof is priced mid-range, and it allows a user to install a fully opening sunroof on a car with a top that is too short for an inbuilt sunroof. This sunroof may include options such as ignition auto-close, one-touch open and internal sliding sunshade.
  • Step 3:
    Consider an inbuilt sunroof. This power sunroof opens fully and disappears between the roof of the car and the car's headliner. It may tilt as well as fully slide open. This is the most expensive option and can not fit in all cars due to the necessary roof length needed for installation. This type of sunroof will steal some of a car's headroom. Options such as vents, ignition auto-close, one-touch open and an internal sliding sunshade may be included.
  • Step 4:
    Know different sunroof sizes. A small, medium, large or extra large sunroof can be installed depending on the size of the vehicle and its roof length. Consult a skilled aftermarket sunroof installation professional to determine which size sunroof best fits your vehicle.
  • Step 5:
    Be aware of other issues which may affect sunroof installation. Ribbed car roofs, fiberglass car roofs and stepped rooflines may limit which kinds of sunroofs can be properly installed.
