    Anyone know a good, inexpensive trimmer in Sydney - north?

    The old Golf needs a new/re-fitted headlining.
    I've found plenty of high end trimmers who want to charge ~$400.
    I'd like to get it done closer to $200-250.
    North Shore or Hills District preferable.

    Thanks

    If you're willing to travel down to Fairfield, I can get someone to do it for you at that price easily.

    I do have to go to Liverpool regularly and go through Fairfield. The problem is what to do while they have the car.
    If I'm close to home or office I can leave it and get back to work.
    How long does it take to do?

    Anyone recommend any trimmers in the St George area, they must be good with the whole interior.

    Cheers in advance

    Hi
    I have used A.A Motor Trimming ,26 Cowper St, Granville NSW 2142 T: 9637 4691
    I had new headliner in Mk3 Golf and a Toyota Camry at approx 240 - 250 each and they only take about 3 hours to do it.
    My old mk1 caddy is going there in a month time as they also do spring wire headliners also.
    cheers oldgolf

    And another thread revival ...

    i have just bought a 2014 Golf 90 TSI and am interested in getting the seats (front and rear) trimmed in a nice custom leather ... any recommendation for sydney ... i am in the hills district but willing to travel

    any idea of what is a reasonable ballpark, approx cost ... and how long it would take to do something like that ?

    cheers

    Department of the Interior at Carlton is worth a try. There are also 2 trimmers in the Carlton industrial area but DOI made a leather gearstick boot for me for $25 and the other s wanted $50 (WTF?).

    They'll need the car for about a week. Cost will be $1800+ depending on what leather you choose and if you want any fancy stuff.

    Ring around a few dealerships & find out who they use because if the trimmer already has patterns it's a bit cheaper.

    Mate, i'm not sure on cost or time, but as for place, i'd recommend The Little Trimmer in Castle Hill. I've used him for re-bolstering and upholstery on my previous cars and he does a great job. Probably not the cheapest out there, but i thought the price was fair for the work i had done.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Thanks guys ... i will follow this up ...

    one more question ... do the seats in the Golf mk7 contain airbags in their sides, and if so is that an issue for the upholstery guys - can or will they still do the job ... and does getting the seats redone void any warranty etc

    Thanks for the help so far ...

    cheers
