About the business
A Vacaville upholstery shop with a German standard
You rip it, we stitch it
Premier Auto Upholstery is run by Benny — a single craftsman with more than two decades at the sewing machine. He learned the trade the old way and spent years working in Germany, where interior work is measured in millimeters and shortcuts aren't tolerated. He brought that standard home to Vacaville, CA.
Today the shop covers everything from a torn driver's seat to full custom interiors: cars and classics, boats, aircraft cabins, ATVs and powersports, restaurant booths and office seating. If it's stitched, padded or wrapped, it comes through this shop.
That focus is why the business was voted the #1 upholstery business in Vacaville and a Top 5 business in Solano County — reputation built one interior at a time, not through advertising.
Benny works evenings and weekends by design, so customers with day jobs can still get their vehicle looked at without losing work time.

How Benny works
One craftsman, one standard
No rotating crews, no subcontractors. Benny cuts, sews and fits every panel himself, so the quality never changes from job to job.
European-trained precision
Years working in Germany set the bar: tight tolerances, straight stitch lines, panels that sit like they came out of the factory.
Honest, job-based pricing
Nothing is padded and nothing is guessed. Benny looks at the work in person, then gives you one clear number and timeline.

Pricing
Every price depends on the job
There is no flat rate card, because no two interiors are the same. Your quote depends on the material you pick, how much wear or damage there is, the stitch and piping pattern, how many panels are involved, and how much custom work you want.
A single seam repair is a small job. A period-correct classic interior or a full custom build is a much bigger one. Benny quotes each job individually after seeing it in person — and the inquiry itself never costs anything.
What affects your quote
- Material: leather, marine vinyl, fabric or suede
- Extent of the damage and foam condition
- Stitch pattern, piping, embroidery and inserts
- How much of the interior is being redone
- Turnaround time and level of custom work
Headliners are a job price, not hourly. Everything else is quoted after Benny sees the work.
