Torn leather car seats are an eyesore and need to be repaired to help retain the value of your vehicle and prevent further damage. The experts at Creative Colors International Inc. can repair large tears in leather car seats before the autumn weather turns cooler.
Leather car seats give car interiors a rich and decadent appearance. For many people, leather car seats are a status symbol and a coveted item for car buyers. They also go a long way to providing a comfortable ride for both the driver and passengers. Many car owners are willing to foot the bill for leather because it’s durable, easy to clean, and does not absorb odors like its cloth counterparts.
There are a lot of pros to picking leather seats and upholstery when you purchase your vehicle. However, leather does have some drawbacks. Leather is reactive to temperature. It can be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Luckily, many car manufacturers have found a solution by installing climate-controlled seats that blow warm or cold air from underneath the seat’s surface to regulate the temperature.
Leather car seats are high maintenance. If they aren’t properly maintained, the leather can harden or crack. Leather seats need to be wiped clean with a damp cloth regularly. Owners should also apply a leather conditioner every three to six months, depending on the wear and tear you put on your car’s interior.
Leather car seats come with a high price tag. Cloth car seats come standard in most vehicles. Upgrading to leather can add thousands of dollars to the cost of your vehicle. Another con of leather seats is that you’re not always getting the real deal. Many car manufacturers today rely on fake leather, or pleather, to cut down on manufacturing costs and lower the price of the car. BMW, Mercedes and even Audi are using faux leather in more affordable models, and they are not alone.
The rising cost of automobiles hampered car sales at many dealerships across the country this year. A new report by Edmunds reveals rising car prices are starting to level off, which will help encourage people to trade up for a new model. Despite high prices, many customers are still willing to pay the additional cost of leather seats.
