Default Any VA/DC/Norfolk Area Rec's to get seats redone?

I've got a spare set of early seats and houndstooth fabric itching to be redone, but don't want to deal with shipping to Auto's Intl, nor pay their prices. Anyone know of any shope in VA that can do the work? I'm down south but willing to haul em where they need to go.
Thanks

Lim's in Tysons Corner comes highly recommended. I've seen some of their leather work it and it looks great. I've also talked to them about doing my seats and got a reasonable estimate. Not cheap, but not out of line.

I've got their phone number at home but I'm traveling this week. If you still need it by Friday, PM me and I should be able to put my hands on it.

You may want to check out Seatco in Bailey's Crossroads (www.seatco.com). They recovered a targa top for me a few years back, and they have given me a reasonable quote for reupholstering leather seats.

My Carrera driver's seat was badly worn in several areas. Mr Lim replaced the leather with new panels, replaced the piping, and re-stuffed the seat for less than $500. It is beautiful work, and still looks perfect three years later.

I also had good success with Lim's. He was recommended to me by HBL who send all their interior work to him. He replaced a leather headliner in my 996 and I couldn't even tell he worked on the car. It was like new.
