Question anyone work for a car upholstry place or know of a good one?

my 1990 toyota truck needs work on the drivers seat.

i could buy one of those sets but i just need the drivers, not both front seats.

also, i would like to build up the foam padding.

any pointers?

thanks...

My friend's dad does decent work out of his house in EPA. He did some couches for the company I worked for. The couches turned out ****ing sick! I know he does foam work but I have never seen it. Let me know if you want more info.

Sounds like there are a bunch of good recomendations in here but I have also had great luck with Superior in San Carlos:

226 Industrial Road San Carlos, CA 94070
(650) 595-5029

They have redone all the seats in my old '93 Justy after I gave up trying to find replacement seats. They re-covered the folding back seat, and rebuilt several panels in the front seats. Then, on my '91 Justy they redid both sides of the split folding back seat and the driver's seat - it's grey microfiber on the sides and plaid in the center. Very happy with all of them.
