Can anyone recommend a high quality trustworthy upholstery shop

Can anyone recommend a high quality trustworthy shop to replace seat leather upholstery / refinish like new in the Toronto area? (other than stealerships, I have quotes pending from these)

I'm looking for someone to replace my driver seat leather covering which means taking the old covers out bearing in mind the seat heater and airbags. Also if they would refinish the slightly worn passenger side seats with either re-dying or panel replacement. There must be some place that specializes in restoring seat upholstery in classics? As with most M3 owners, we are a very particular crowd right?

Thanks.

Tony at TMCustoms on Steeles in Woodbridge. He's been in the business for decades and has every type of leather you could need. Great work from what I've seen and I'm very particular.

Thanks so much! I did go see Innovative Interiors last summer and they did entire new interiors. I just have worn bolsters and certain areas on my two front seats. They didn't seem that interested in the repair job and referred me to someone they contracted out called Classique Vinyl and Leather Restoration who gave me a quote without seeing the car and I didn't have anything to see of their work so I would be going in on blind faith, so I didn't feel comfortable with that.

I had already given my car to BMW Toronto stealership - they promised me a guy that did "magic" restoration for them - and when I got it back, they were terrible. So there's a few hundred gone already.

I will give TMCustoms a try and go up to see them. Thanks for the tip.
