I was wondering if anyone here has had leather redone or converted from cloth to leather in their cars/trucks

I have a 2008 Silverado Crew cab that I want to get redone in leather, it has black cloth right now. Wondering of yall have any good shops in mind that could handle that for me and about the price range.

Another option is getting the Katskinz covers but im not sure if I want to tackle that myself or order those and have them installed. anyone else have any ideas?

A lot of the dealers do it in house and order the Katskins covers. Expect to pay anywhere from $600 - $1200 for leather. It all depends on the quality of the cover and the labor charges.

Monument Chevrolet does it in House. Alliance Chevrolet sends theirs out to one of the Housotn interior shops shop. I can't remember the name of it, but I can find out and post it up. But, the prices wasn't bad.

I know John's Trim Shop in Baytown also does it as well.


It not hard, you just need a set of Hog Ring pliers, and some hog rings. The big deal is pulling the seats out of the truck. You definitely need a couple of folks to get the seats out.

Don't know about the hog ring's but my 2000 silverado did not have any it was all Velcro. I put Katskinz in my truck by my self when i was like 18 and it was not bad. I loved the seats seamed to be a nice product. My friend bought the truck and they still look good and have no rips to this day.

Also it was a single cab so the rear might have hog rings.

I've heard nothing but good things about Katskinz. If you want a hand doing it let me know, I'd be more than happy to help.

I had gotten a quote for leather in my 07 Silverado Regular Cab, from Ron Carter Chevy. They gave me to quotes, factory leather and katzkins. The factory leather was like $1400+/- and katzkins were like $1200-$1300+/-. These were installed prices. Needless to say, I'm still sporting the crappy factory black cloth.

Alliance Chevrolet uses Classic Softrim in Houston. I think the cost there was around $1000 plus tax.
