Her husband was working at a petrol pump and the constant exposure to fumes cost him his eyesight. She has had no formal education, but she can sign her name. She trained as a sewing machine controller to find employment in the garment industry. We thought about genuine leather but felt as I am the only one in car for 80% of the time, it's too expensive so went ahead with Art leather.Jaya at her workspace in MITU. I wanted Tan, but was concerned it may either look tacky or great, black was the safer option (wife's option) so went ahead with it.
The support is way better in new seat cover compared to old fabric. Fit and finish is quite good.Īfter driving sometime realised how breathable the fabric seats are, I could not spend 5 min without AC. They removed the original seat cover and installed the new ones. He was kind enough to provide genuine leather steering cover (maybe cos we did not negotiate on the cost)Īsked us to come on Tuesday and get the fitting done. Finally we decided on Montana art leather perforated version. We went to Imperial leather on Saturday and placed the order. Hope to have more such people who suggest what is possibly the best in a given situation rather than focus only on profit maximisation.įrom: Imperial Leather Bannergattha road BangaloreĬolour : Black (I wanted Tan, wife wanted black) Will post the pics post the fitting this weekend.

He asked me how long I intended to keep the car and then said let's change the front covers only.Ĭost was half the full set. Here he had a customer who was willing to pay and change all seat covers (I expected him to say, don't chance it, go for an overall change, get a new look, etc). Shiva, was quick to recommend that we change only the front seat covers. This meant there was hardly any wear and tear on the rear seat and minimal on the front seats. My car typically has only me driving to work on a daily basis and the family during the odd trips. This is where I was floored by his honestly. He immediately recognised his work and we both discussed the next steps. I had bought the same from Imperial (Shivakumar), exactly 4 years back and decided it may be a good idea to pay him a visit again. Have been getting some mechanical issues addressed and decided it was time to do something about the seat covers too. I am in the process of breathing new life into my 8 year old SX4.
Overall I'm a happy customer and I recommend this place. Shiv went through various designs and amalgamated them into this. The colour hasn't faded a bit.ĭesign customized for us. The colour appears different from the first image. In Oct this year (almost two and half years later).
I don't know if its the same stuff used by OEMs but I can say that they are of good quality. It goes very well with the red colour of the car and the black interiorsĪfter two and half years (with the last one year seeing the car being used every day), I'm happy to say that the covers have held up really well. We didn't want real leather so went for the PU leather and customized the design. Shiv there clearly tells you how long each is expected to last. They had many options to choose from (Art/PU/Nappa/Italian etc) and Mr. We got the seat covers done for our Figo at Imperial. I'd like to know if the seat covers by Imperial and similar places are as good after prolonged use as OEM options. I had a question regarding the material that is used by seat cover manufacturers - is it the same as OEMs give you in the top end models? I assume no car under 10l gets real leather anyway so I wasn't sure if the quality and type of material as well as the workmanship are comparable.
