Auto & Marine Upholstery - Hopewell, Virginia

Raja is a master craftsman. He pays close attention to the details/color matching and his finished product is extremely impressive. I needed a passenger seat repaired after battery acid spilled and destroyed it. Raja was able to easily remove the entire back seat and did not need to keep my car while he completed the work. He found and matched the leather "perforations" to what was already there, and the stitching literally looks like the original. Not to mention, Raja is a pleasure to do business with and his prices are great. I highly recommend Auto & Marine Upholstery.

I have had several jobs performed by Raja including headliners, car sun visors, car seats and an overhead cover for our bbq grill. His work is exceptional, his prices are more than reasonable, and his disposition is always pleasant. I highly recommend Raja and his business.

I am very impressed with Raja's work. I needed the center console of my car reupholstered and Raja did an outstanding job. He took the console out for me so I didn't need to leave my car with him, which I appreciated. He easily color matched it and used a higher quality material than the original. The workmanship is superb. Raja is a true craftsman and I will be returning to him for other work I need done. I highly recommend Auto & Marine Upholstery.

Raja, the owner, is a true craftsman. This job took a high level of skill that many places could not do. I wanted to rebuild and upholster the drivers seat and have it match the passenger seat. The look was perfect, but he also made it much more comfortable than original. Good price & he backs his work 100%.

Raja is a great at what he does. My car seat was making my back ache tremendously. He went in and did his magic and now my seat is comfortable. He is very professional and has a great passion for his craft. I very much highly recommend Raja. You will very satisfied if you choose to use his services.

I can't say enough about the attention to detail that Raja puts into his projects. I brought my 24 ft. Pontoon to his establishment for a custom fitted towable boat cover. Boy did he deliver! I couldn't be happier with the finished product. He also offers 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend this business for your upholstery needs.

I was looking for someone to add padding to a [2019] stock OEM Harley-Davidson motorcycle seat. I checked Auto & Marine Upholstery's web site and I saw pictures of reconditioned & custom-made motorcycle seats. This gave me confidence in taking my seat there.

The proprietor - Raja - is very friendly, personable & honest. He added "marine foam padding" to my seat and told me to return if it wasn't comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the marine foam was a bit too hard and I did indeed return.

Raja removed the cover & the foam. He then added softer foam - all at no additional charge. I was very impressed & happy with the outcome - so much so that I decided I will return to him in a couple of years (once this foam wears out) and I will have him build me a new, custom seat.

I'd like to add that I am not local to Hopewell ... this shop is a 1-hour drive from my home (thus a 2-hour round trip). However, based on reviews and photos of Raja's work, I went out of my way to ensure my seat would be in the hands of a competent individual.

My Mercedes C300 interior door handle broke and everywhere I looked on the internet people said you have to buy the whole interior door panel. I called Mercedes and they said the same thing. They wanted $800 for the panel. I ordered it and took it to Raja to install. He said he could fix the existing door panel which enabled me to send the $800 door panel back for a refund. I saved a lot of money and the repair Raja made is working fine. His prices are reasonable and I highly recommend this business.
