Vehicles, boats & commercial in Johannesburg: local notes
Taxi owners around the big ranks in the CBD and Soweto need seats recovered in hard-wearing vinyl, often a full kombi at a time, and trimmers in Booysens and Selby are used to quick turnarounds for working vehicles. Restaurants in Maboneng, Melville and Braamfontein book booths and bar stools after hours. Church halls in the inner city send pew cushions and stacking chairs. Classic car owners in the older suburbs look for trimmers who rebuild original interiors.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Johannesburg
Upholstery in Johannesburg runs on two old trades that never left the inner city. Fabric and trimming shops still line the streets around the CBD, and motor trimmers work out of the older industrial pockets of Booysens, Selby and City Deep, close to the taxi ranks and the bakkie traffic heading south. Around them sit a century of suburbs: Parktown and Houghton houses with wingbacks and Chesterfields worth keeping, art deco flats in Killarney and Yeoville with compact lounge suites, and family homes in Soweto where home workshops recover couches in the yard. Distances and traffic matter here, so ask an upholsterer near you whether collection by bakkie is included. Dry Highveld winters crack neglected leather, so condition it before it splits.
Typical leather car seat repair requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: chauffeur and lodge vehicles with leather seats that must look right for guests
- Offices and businesses: executive company cars kept presentable with recoloured, restitched leather seats
