There are 2 small holes/rips in 2 of my boat cushions. I got an estimate
from an upholsterer yesterday....$400. They suggested I give Dr. Vinyl (
http://www.drvinyl.com/index2.html ) a try as it would save me over $300.

Does anyone have any experience with this franchise and the quality of
their
work?


Find you a small Korean run furniture upholstery shop. They sometimes hide
out in strip malls. I've gotten exceptional results from these folks at
very reasonable prices. One even made me a motorcycle seat! That was
almost
ten years ago, and the thing is still in great shape.

The shop I got the estimate from was owned and run by an oriental family.
Whether or not they were Korean or Chinese, I don't know.

The bulks of the cost was from labor as the seats had to be taken
apart.....with one being a fairly large full sundeck pad. I was not asking
for all the vinyl to be replaced but rather just the strips that had the
holes in them.
