Hey guys,

I need someone who can fix heated seats in my car. One element is busted on the drivers side and needs to be replaced.

Appreciate a recommendation.

Thanks!

Might give Seatco a call. The location at Bailey's Crossroads did a nice job recovering the top on my Targa a few years back, and at a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the lead. I'll check them out.

Try Lin's upholstery in Tysons off Spring Hill. I dont have the address but he is highly recommended from interior work to cab tops. See if you can search here as his service has been mentioned.

I did this myself on a Range Rover seat couple of years ago. Its not for the faint of heart but doable in a couple of hours.

It's Lim's, not Lin's. He worked on the rear plastic window of my cab top after it started separating. He came highly recommended and I was satisfied with his work.

I was gonna say just get a new heater sheet and do it yourself. It isn't a hard job, just time consuming.

There's someone at IMA Motorsport that has done some nice upholstery restorations. I think they can do just about anything.

FWIW, Lim's replaced the plastic rear window in our Boxster last year, and he did a very nice job.

Really great work. One day in and out. They were also installing aftermarket rear heated seats in a brand new Q7 for Audi.
