Premium Car Detailing & Precision Repair
Car Upholstery Service
- What CARBROS says
Car Upholstery in Dubai
Cracked leather, a sagging roof lining, a driver’s seat bolster worn through. Retrimmed properly in our own workshop, in the material and colour you choose.
- Our Promise
Interiors age faster in the UAE than anywhere most owners have driven before. A car parked outdoors here bakes daily, and heat plus UV is exactly what dries out leather, shrinks adhesive and fades trim. The result is predictable: a cracked driver’s seat, a headliner starting to droop at the rear, and a steering wheel that has gone shiny and sticky, on a car that is otherwise mechanically fine.
What we retrim
- Seats. Full retrim in leather, Nappa, Alcantara, suede or automotive fabric. Custom stitching, perforation, diamond and honeycomb quilting, contrast piping.
Repair or retrim? We will tell you straight
Not every interior needs stripping. A cigarette burn, a single split seam or one worn bolster is a repair, and it costs a fraction of a retrim. Colour restoration also works well on leather that is faded and dry but not cracked through.
Coverage packages we fit
| Package | Panels Covered | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Front End | Full front bumper, bonnet leading edge, mirror caps, headlights | Daily drivers on highway commutes. Covers roughly 90 percent of real chip damage for the lowest cost. |
| Full Front | Full bonnet, full front bumper, full front fenders, mirrors, headlights, A-pillars | Dark or metallic paint where a chip line across the bonnet would be obvious. |
| Full Body | Every painted exterior panel | New, leased or high-value cars, and anything you intend to resell with original paint. |
| High-Wear Kit | Door cups, door edges, sills, boot loading lip, rear arch behind the wheel | Add-on to any package. Cheap, and it covers the damage that actually shows on inspection. |
| Track and Off-Road Pack | Full front plus rocker panels, rear arches and lower doors | Desert and gravel use, where damage comes from below rather than head on. |
Materials, and what actually survives here
Material choice matters more in this climate than in most. Genuine leather looks and smells right but needs conditioning to survive UAE heat. Modern automotive-grade synthetic leather handles heat and UV very well, cleans easily, and on a family car with children in the back it is often the more sensible choice.
How the work runs
Seats come out of the car and are stripped to the frame. Old covers are used as patterns so the new panels fit the foam exactly rather than being pulled tight over an approximation.
What car upholstery costs in Dubai
Price is driven by how many panels are involved, the material grade and the complexity of the stitching.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how many panels are being trimmed, the material and the stitching detail. A single worn bolster is a small job, a full leather retrim on a seven-seater is a large one. Send CarBros photos of the damage with your make, model and year on WhatsApp for a realistic range.
Heat. The headliner fabric is bonded to a foam backing, and sustained high temperatures break that foam down until the fabric separates from the shell. It is one of the most common interior faults on cars parked outdoors here. Re-gluing the old fabric does not last, the panel needs recovering with fresh material.
Yes, and often that is the right call. The driver's outer bolster wears long before the rest of the interior. We can replace a single panel and colour match it to the existing seats. Where the leather has cracked through or the foam has collapsed, a full seat retrim is the more durable answer.
Genuine leather looks and feels best but needs regular conditioning to survive the heat. Modern automotive synthetic leather resists heat and UV very well, cleans easily and costs less, which makes it a strong practical choice for a family car. We will show you samples of both.
A single panel repair can often be done in a day. A full seat set is typically three to five days, and a complete interior including headliner, door cards and dashboard takes longer. We confirm the timeline when we see the car.
Not when it is done properly. Seats with side airbags are built with specific tear seams that must be reproduced exactly so the airbag deploys through the seam as designed. We trim those seats accordingly and reconnect and check all seat electrics on refitting.
