    Hi all. Does anyone have any recommendations for a leather repair specialist in Milwaukee? I would also be willing to drive to chicago if need be. The side bolster in my Miata has has 2 rather poor dye jobs in the past, one at the dealer before I bought it and one that I had done before I knew any better. I've gotten a quotes from 2 people but they were both close to half of the cost of new custom covers from Katzkin. I'd prefer to try to have it properly repaired / dyed but for the quotes I have received already, I'll just go with new leather. Figured I'd post here to see if I could get another quote or 2 before caving and ordering new covers. Thanks in advance!!!

    I doubt if anyone reputable will give you a quote 'unseen' but if you're resonably good with tools; this may help

    Thanks. I'll take a look at your link. I also have no problem taking the car to someone local to have a look before getting a quote. (I'd probably have to send pix to someone in Chicago to get a close estimate before driving there) I also don't necessarily think the quotes I got were unreasonable. They were just creeping close to the price for new, and apparently higher quality, custom leather seat covers. Thanks again.
