When you need upholstery
- Cracked or lifting dashboard.
- Driver's seat bolster worn through.
- Leather dry, faded or split at the seams.
- Roof lining sagging — the glue fails in the heat.
Typical turnaround: 2 days - 2 weeks. Typically needed as needed.

Four questions that expose a bad quote
- Genuine leather, bonded leather or vinyl — the price gap is large.
- Repair the affected section, or retrim the whole seat for a match?
- Will the new material match the existing, sun-faded panels?
- Is the foam being replaced, or just the cover?
What upholstery costs in Abu Dhabi City
| Car type | Typical example | Estimated AED |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese / Korean saloon | Corolla, Sunny, Elantra, Civic | 400 - 2,000 |
| Large SUV / 4x4 | Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado, Pajero | 600 - 3,500 |
| German / European | BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW | 900 - 5,000 |
| Luxury / performance | Range Rover, Porsche, Lexus LX | 1,500 - 15,000 |
Full leather retrim sits at the top. Single-seat repairs and dashboard work are far cheaper and often all that is needed.
Broadly comparable to Dubai, with more fleet and government contract work in the mix.
