I can not express enough with words what a pleasure it was to work with this company and my local installer (EM Upholstery Technology; Eliseo)! Outstanding service, from start to finish. And my local installer, holy cow, he was the epitome of a professional, a true expert at his craft! I am continuing to do business with this company and of course the installer, Eliseo! I would definitely recommend friends and family!

I had Katzkin leather installed in my 21' F150, and I'm very satisfied with the results. Eliseo got it done much faster than anticipated. I would definitely get more upholstery work done here.

This is the second vehicle I have taken to Eliseo. After the first time I was not even worried about the outcome the second time! I highly recommend EM Upholstery. I even moved further away and made sure that I still went to Eliseo. He finishes in one day, he communicates and he treats your vehicle as if it were his own. I came to pick up my truck and he had even cleaned the whole inside of my truck. I will always go back when I need leather!
