I used to work with Wally at Metzel Auto Upholstery in SF on a lot of insurance claims. He was friendly and economical, and his work on the claims that I processed was always nicely done. You could always consider talking to him if for some reason some of the other suggestions don't pan out, or if you want to comparison shop. Good luck!

The guys who work here are nice as can be, and really know their ****. They replaced the material on all 4 of my door cards, and my headliner with gray suede alcantra and it turned out top notch.

Highly recommended.

FWIW ToyConnection on Comstock in SantaClara as well as ToyotaTruckDismantler's on Berryessa in San Jose likely have seats that are in great shape. Just get an upper and lower from a passenger seat and swap them over. Unless it's a X-Cab pickup with the 40-60 fold and tumble split bench/buckets. Then good luck to ya. Bascom Trim has the OE fabrics available.

Yep, you'd be surprised the amount of Subaru's they touch over the course of a year. Very highly recommended overall as well as all those I know that use them. Some view them as pricey, but you do get what you pay for with this family ran business. Feel free to say Shane suggested them and point out this post.
