There’s often a debate on whether redoing the interior of your car is truly necessary. Some feel it’s a little excessive but some feel that it adds to the value of your car. Regardless, it looks pretty cool.
Instead of a back and forth debate with your mate on whether leather conversion is necessary, keep reading and decide for yourself.
Before we begin, did you know that almost every car on sale today comes with the option of leather upholstery in some form or another? Whether it’s just on the gear-lever or a full interior. However, it has come to light that some car manufacturers do not use genuine leather in the interior of their cars. More often than not, less than 30% of the leather used is genuine.
With the use of faux leather, the longevity and durability of your car’s interior are compromised. Meaning that you would have to redo the interior of your car sooner and you would have paid for something you thought would last.
So why would you want leather seats in the first place?
Benefits of leather
Leather seats in your car are often seen as a luxury but it is a necessary luxury. Compared to cloth car seats, leather has an abundance of benefits. These include;
- A very lush feel and look to your vehicle
- Easier to clean and they’re highly stain-resistant
- Resistant to smells that accompany stains
- The seats respond better to seat-warmers (if that’s a feature you desire)
- Any spills are easy to wipe up because the leather won’t absorb the liquid
- Longevity is increased
- New car smell, if you’ve had your car for a long time, the leather will bring back the new car smell
- Resale value, by redoing the interior of your car, you increase the value of your car and the new interior is likely to attract a lot more buyers

Why change your car’s interior?
Yes, there are benefits to having leather car seats but what the point of redoing the interior and even more, why leather conversion? Well, here’s why;
Repair
By reupholstering your car, you repair any damage done to your interior over the years. This will increase the resale value of your car especially if you had cloth seats originally. If your cloth seats are stained, leather reupholstery will make your car look spick and span again, and you won’t have to worry about the seats being stained ever again.
Hygiene
Like we mentioned above, cloth car seats are easy to stain and food can get pressed into the seat. It’s nearly impossible to clean and destain cloth seats. WIth leather seats, any spills or mishaps can be wiped up easily without leaving a trace that anything was there in the first place.
Upgrade
If you’ve had to downsize or if you were given a pre-owned car by your parents, redoing the interior will change the entire look and feel of the car. You will feel like you have a brand new car and you can completely change the interior to virtually anything you want it to be.
Customisation
Every other car looks the same as yours. When you redo the interior of your car, you choose what leather you want, what stitching you want and you can even choose a personalised logo to be embroidered onto the seats. You create a completely customised, distinctive looking vehicle that no one else has.
Comfort
When we reupholster your seats, we can change their structure slightly – either by adding extra padding or slightly changing the shape of the seat. We make sure our clients are not only satisfied with the look of their car but with the feel as well.
The reasons for leather conversion are endless. Instead of only telling you about them, we’d like to show you. Contact us to set up a consult.
