A-1 Auto Upholstery

First problem… Robert is booked for weeks ahead! Yes… that’s what happens when everyone finds the best guy to do upholstery work! Book it and be glad you got a time.
I met Robert for an estimate some months ago and he examined my front seat carefully. He recommended replacing just a couple panels of the leather in my 1994 Lexus SC400. One panel was torn just from wear and another was very weak. I made the appointment to get it fixed with a very fair estimate money-​wise.
I brought my car in, he was all set to do the work, had the materials, knew exactly what the plan was. He took care of it that day and I picked my car up late afternoon. I can’t believe how perfect it looked and felt! It really was just like brand new. Every day I get in my car, I still stare at how nice the leather really is. I only had the tear for maybe a couple months, but it just looks so nice. No funny bumps, stitching is just flawless (he must’ve used the same original little holes and spacing), perfectly smooth and tight, and it really is just like new!
I don’t even have a question as to where I might go for more work if I ever need it. I have told everyone I know to get their work done by Robert. Maybe there are some other guys that do as well, but why chance it?

website? What are the hours of operation? No comment on service yet.

Bod did a GREAT job rehabbing my 1968 Mustang drivers seat! He also cover my rear panel speaker platform and it looks fabulous. Highly recommend!

Robert is a careful craftsman who did a superb job on our ’98 Honda Accord. The back seat had a couple of split panels and the driver seat was wearing through.
He replaced it ON TIME and in a VERY NICE manner.
He’s a busy man so it pays to book AHEAD so you can be without your car to give him time to do an excellent job.

My 14 year old car needed some help. Normal wear and tear on the driver’s seat and the back seat split on the seams from sun exposure. I just picked it up today and I love my little car again. Bob did a fantastic job for a very fair price and had it done earlier than the time promised. I don’t know what more one could ask. I recommend him without reservation. The whole process was great.

Bob he is a stand behind his work kinda guy. He does wonders with repairs on my work trucks. Liston go there he will do a great job whatever you have him do! God has blessed him with a talent for this from classics to hot rods to fleets of work trucks. You leave there happy and the seat is sweet!!!

Bob does a great job. I have used him for 2 cars now and his estimate is accurate with what he charges and his price is reasonable. Since Bob does a good job, he has many clients, so you may have a wait for the appointment, plan for some time between your estimate and the repair.

I have a custom audio shop in Livermore and Bob over at A1 has helped me out multiple times over the years when I have needed special interior work stitched or a material matched for jobs I have had. He is always very courteous and takes his time with what he is working on. In the custom car world quality is huge and Bob and A1 have my stamp of approval!

He did a great job! I have a 99 Dodge Ram 2500 and the drivers seat was trashed. The foam and fabric on the lumbar area as well as the part you sit on was ripped apart and metal poking through. I went in got a quote and he said they won’t be able to get the same fabric (I had no issue with that, no one had it). The fabric used to fix it is so close I couldn’t believe it! It looks great and is comfortable. And he got it done in one day.

I went there today for a repair job and they would not even come to car to look. I’m always amazed when I walk into a business and am treated like I’m such an inconvenience.
They were rude and when i asked them why they would not even come out to my car they just said no and walked away.
In the future I will never reach out to A-​1 Auto again.

I work for a state govt agency. I was introduced to this shop 7 years ago, and apparently we have used them since about 1992. The prices are fair vs the other shops in the bay area that our agency uses, and the work has been good. Materials on even 10yr old vehicles has been a perfect match and the turn around is generally fast and has always been on time or before what we have been promised.

No Stars! This place is horrible. I got quote work for different categories of my interior… the seats, the floor carpet/​insulation, the headliner, etc. Only good thing… quotes were given on the spot.
Came back, made a reservation to come back in two weeks. Received a call one day before my appointment saying that they had not received the material in and that they would call me when it arrived to schedule a new appointment.
One month passed, no word… so I called and left a message. Three months later, I call again, leave a message, no reply.
Worse customer service ever.
