A.S.PICKERING - Coach trimmers and upholsterers - Bradford

Postby Guiseley - Mon Apr 26, 2010 7:14 pm

Just had the side bolsters re-leathered on the drivers seats, (we all catch them as we lower ourselves in - or is it just me!) and have been mighty impressed by the work.
Difficult to recommend on just one visit, but it's nice to know that if the leather gets damaged again, I'll know a decent and reasonably priced place to take it.

Out of interest, how much did they charge?

£145 including sourcing the leather from BMW (and we got the remaining 3/4 fleece). No idea if that's good or bad, but I wouldn't have known where to start.

Pics look just as they did when the Champagne leather left the factory! They matched the stitching colour, lengths, everything!
Pretty simple job for them I imagine, as it's nothing too flash.

Long time no post on this thread, but feel the need to re-energise as just got some more cracking work done.

Took our Alu centre console out of the car and left it with A.S.Pickering for a couple of days, and £55+vat later they had turned it into a leather wrapped console :)

We weren't too fussy with the leather match as it was all a bit of an experiment, but really, really pleased with the results - pinch points such as the sport button had been carefully cut out, whilst all other overlaps had been trimmed neatly and stuck at the rear. (p.s. In the pictures below the leather dash is OEM - it's the centre console that was trimmed)

So i's a quick shout out for David - a Top Job - it makes the place look a lot more classy :)

That looks really nice, and for £66 that is a bargain!

It begs the question, how much would they charge for the 2 dash trim pieces as well. I think I will get in touch :)

Give him a call and mention he did one last week for us (Ruth spoke to David at his shop). The worry he had was anything that fits internally to the console as the leather takes up 2mm each side. We had that problem with the ashtray / switch unit, which although much tighter still fitted (with use of credit cards and some force) - you will have the same issue with the centre vents and lights module on the main dash pieces.

To give you some comfort though the OEM leather dash is wrapped in exactly this way and I think it's based on the standard Alu dash as on the reverse it shares common part numbers - would be your risk though.

Might be bit more though as we used an offcut and he might not have enough similar leather for all 3 pieces - flip side is that he might have found the work dead easy and keep the price keen - we said others might follow.

Pictures of what? Dash pictures look to have worked OK - leather seat from 2010 is still holding up well and still looking OEM - can take a picture but pretty useless as it's just a leather bolster.
