What is a reasonable price for getting some seats reupholstered?
I have a 66 300 with split bench front and bench back. The seats actually are not too bad with a few tears in driver seat and the top of the rear seat is rotted out from the sun. They are two tone blue.
I had one guy offer around $600 but he is cash out of his garage and a shop say $1800 and they would be show quality. I don't need show quality but I don't want junk either. I live near minneapolis if anyone has recommendations. Can I get these done nice for under $1000? Thank you

Hey, I just pick my seats up today, They were custom made for me and my bad back from Mopar seats. The center section is a thicker material than the sides.. The sides have the same satin look as my billboards on my car and other areas. He is located in central Tn....$600.00
May have better pics 2morrow for you

I like using Mac's upolstery in Eau Claire. VERY reasonable prices. IIRC, $550 did my headliner, vinal top and seat covers. I already had the materials though. Not 100% sure on price, but I know it seemed like a good deal. very profecinal and does AWSOME work. He's also a Mopar guy. -kevin

I had both front (bench) and rear seats in my Duster done here in SoCal. I supplied the fabric and vinyl, he rebuilt all the soft guts and cut/sewed the new seat covers...$700. The seats are a joy to sit in now.

500.00 for my front bench and rear seat...Detroit area. They were in good shape prior, I supplied the fabric. Great work!

Is the 1800 for labor and correct covers or just labor or just labor and generic handmade covers?
Big difference in those 3.
I want my fair share

Legendary dosen't offer a front bench, buckets only/leather/vinyl for 66 300,...A compentent shop can stitch the corect pattern,...but your looking at about $600-$1000 depending on pattern. mat'l and unforseen extras, for a front bench/w/ folding armrest,....rear seat about $500,....just the seats and no installation into the car, basically cash, and carry,....I'd estimate from my experience expect quotes from around $1500 plus or minus a few bucks, depends on a lot of variables we can't see from here? regarding the condition of your seats,....plus location bears alot on price also, as dose material choice
