Vehicles, boats & commercial in Gqeberha: local notes
Car upholstery is a strength here: trimmers recover seats, do leather conversions on cloth seats, rebuild worn bolsters and fit new roof linings. Ask how they handle side airbag seams. Bakkies and kombis get fitted covers, and taxi seats from Motherwell and Uitenhage Road ranks are recovered in tough vinyl. Ski boats and yachts from the harbour need marine vinyl, and restaurants in Richmond Hill and along the beachfront recover booths and bar stools.
Gqeberha: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Car plants and their component suppliers have trained a deep pool of seat makers and trimmers around Nelson Mandela Bay, which is why car seats, bakkie benches and leather conversions are such a big part of upholstery in Port Elizabeth. Trimmers work from Korsten, Struandale, Deal Party and Neave, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites in Newton Park, Walmer and Mill Park and couches in KwaZakhele, New Brighton and Motherwell. Summerstrand holiday flats and student digs near the university need tough fabric. The wind carries salt and fine sand indoors, so expect rusted staples, faded fabric on sunny stoeps, and boat seats from the harbour that need marine vinyl.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealers reconditioning leather seats before a used vehicle goes onto the floor
- Homeowners and tenants: the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: car valeters and dealers sending seats out for colour and panel repairs
