After five months of searching for an upholsterer in Northeast Ohio—following dead ends and disappointing recommendations—I finally reached out to my local car club. Multiple members raved about DuraMend, so I called. The difference was immediate.
On customer service alone, they earn six out of five stars. Marie was outstanding—transparent, communicative, down-to-earth, and reasonable. We arranged a time to meet, talk through the project, and take measurements so I could order my material. When I called to schedule the work, they were honest about their timeline, which I appreciated. Quality takes time.
When the day came, I dropped off my car with Shaun, the upholsterer, and we talked through the project again, troubleshooting questions together. When I picked it up, I was genuinely blown away. The work exceeded my expectations. What struck me most was Shaun pointing out areas where he thought he could have done better—details I couldn't even see. That attention to craft and that spirit of excellence says everything about who they are.
I've now been driving this car daily for a month. Every time I open the doors, I'm flooded with happiness. The interior is transformed—livelier, brighter, a joy to sit in. I've recommended DuraMend to others in my car club, and every time someone compliments the work, I send them straight to DuraMend.
Grateful doesn't begin to cover it. Outstanding collaborators, true craftspeople. Five stars, fully earned.
