40 years of craft, built across every level of the industry.

Master Upholsterer Eliseo Manzanilla has spent 40 years building interiors — starting with marine upholstery on speed boats and aircraft upholstery work, long before opening a shop. The family business began as Lynwood Customs in Lynwood, CA, later building show cars for the DUB circuit, then continuing as Boulevard Auto Upholstery in Bell Gardens — where the work grew to include exotic builds for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Maybach, and Land Rover/Range Rover, with vehicles shown at the LA Auto Show and SEMA in Las Vegas. From there, a multi-year collaboration with a classic European restoration house in Palm Springs added Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, and Porsche to the résumé. That trajectory — from speed boats and hangars to exotic show cars to classic European restoration — is what opened as EM Upholstery Technology in San Bernardino, and later gave rise to LeatherTeck, our dedicated leather specialty brand.

Common Questions

Straight answers to what customers actually ask before booking.

How long does a typical repair or restoration take?

Most seat repair, headliner, and door panel jobs are completed in 1–2 days depending on parts availability and scope. We'll give you a specific timeline when we quote your job.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes — ask us about warranty coverage on your specific service when you get your quote. Warranty terms vary by service type (general upholstery work vs. leather kit installation through LeatherTeck).

I need leather seats, not general repair — is that you?

Leather seat kits and installation are handled by our specialty division, LeatherTeck. Visit LeatherTeck for pricing, colors, and vehicle-specific options.
