In Australia, reupholstering car seats isn’t pocket change, but it beats sticking to crumb-infused velour forever.
For new re-trims, budget about AUD 300–600 per seat for quality fabric or AUD 800–1,500 per seat for leather, with a full cabin often landing between AUD 2,000–5,000+ depending on car and stitching flair.
Going custom (perforated/Nappa, contrast stitching) can nudge it to AUD 5,000–8,000, and bolster/foam repairs add AUD 100–300 per seat.
Used option? Salvage-yard seats run AUD 100–400 each, plus fitting AUD 150–300 per seat, if you can find a matching set that isn’t sunbaked.
Add-ons like seat heaters or airbags re-cert work can add AUD 200–600 per seat, and convertibles/7-seaters cost more because, well, everything’s harder.
Quotes vary by city and material, so get itemised estimates—and avoid anyone who says they can “do leather” for the price of a round of pies.
