I just wanted to let everyone know what a good service I received from the guys at Seat Surgeons yesterday. I contacted Paul the manager just under three weeks ago and told him what I was looking to have done to my VRS (after spending weeks of looking through pictures to make my mind up) He was more than accommodating and said it would take a little longer than usual due to Chinese new year (if your not aware the covers are made in China) so with this he told me he could have them ready for this week. So being excited I booked for the first possible date being yesterday. And that was that, nothing else heard not even a deposit required.

So I thought to myself "is everything going to be OK?" as I had heard nothing, no e-mails or calls from Paul within the last three weeks. But no news is good news.

Being a southerner I thought I would take full advantage and book into a hotel in York for the Sunday night to get the car there for first thing Monday (very excited).

So with Daughter packed of to her Nan's me and the Mrs drove up Sunday morning (all 200 miles) booked into Ibis which was only £39 for the night, it was nothing great but was a short walk from the city centre, with a bar open until 4am :S .

So after a night of fine dinning and too much booze. I got up nice and early and took the car over to Seat Surgeons which is only an 8 minute drive from the City. Once I got there Paul was ready with my leather waiting to go. He was kind enough to drop me back into York for a day of sight seeing and shopping. By 12:30 he had called me to let me know it was all done (4 hours WOW), so with that me and Mrs found the train station and 1 stop later we were there. I was almost running up the road to see the car but walking would only take 5mins.

And it was worth it, the 400mile round journey the uncomfortable bed, the money the Mrs spent, and the 3 week wait. All worth it. They had done a fantastic job and even with the night away including fuel it was still cheaper than any other quote I had, had.

So if your looking at having leather give him a call. They are more than accommodating. And I’m more than happy with my new leather.

Sounds good

Pictures!!! :p

Had my Octavia Vrs re-trimmed 4 weeks ago

First Class service, think you'll find Paul is the Owner, not the Manager

Your right to pick me up on that, he's the Managing Director. And what a nice down to earth bloke he is.

lol sounds like a good trip how much is it these days?

Lucky guy, wanna retrim my seats but living near Paris so it's not the easy way....Know that when I'd have time and money I'll do the 800 kilometers just to go have a seat surgeon interior!!!! Want them so bad :'( :'(

Did he drop you off in town in the fully leathered up Range Rover Sport?

I had a lift to the train station (if it's even fair to call it that, more like a shed) in a battered up Transit...

Was there any plans to post pictures on this thread or not ?

Have some of mine...

Also done the door cards:

Another fan of the Seat Surgeons here, they did a really good job of my car just before Christmas.

I even got to use the board room to do some uni work (watching them re-trim my seats was more interesting though)

Pictures and price please!!!! Would they do a group buy?

Pics will be added soon, been stuck at work on 9-9 shifts since Tuesday, so as soon as I can get them up I will. They have recently added a feed to You Tube. Do a search on Fabia Leather or Seat Surgeons, some great pics on there.

I got taken into the City centre in a small suzuki with a nice leather set up in. What a difference leather can make to any car, thinking about getting my wifes golf cabrio done next.

Already passed his details onto 2 BMW owners.

not the best place to post that last comment - company name and all being mentioned......?

Suggest an edit is in order? You never know who's looking do you?

Yep they're good

No doubt Paul's a top bloke !

I like the door cards, think I'll get my SE done !!

Just spilt a bottle of brake fluid all over my rear seats...

I had a lift to the train station (if it's even fair to call it that, more like a shed) in a battered up Transit...

Oy..............it's a proper northern station and don't call our battered trains transit's. I drive them on that route.
