Reupholster or Restore Car Seats?

For most cars, restoring the leather is the best choice — keep the original hide, fix fading, cracks and scratches and re-colour it, at a far lower cost than reupholstery (replacing all the leather). New leather is only truly needed for heavy tears, or for luxury cars upgrading the hide. RENNI does both and advises honestly based on your car.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reupholstering and restoring?

Restoration keeps the original leather and only treats the surface + re-colours it — faster and cheaper. Reupholstery replaces all the leather, costs more, and is only needed for heavy tears or a hide upgrade. For most cars, RENNI recommends restoration.

Which is cheaper?

Restoration is significantly cheaper — typically from about 7M VND per seat set, versus new leather which costs considerably more depending on the hide. RENNI quotes both for free so you can compare.
