This Accord has a worn, teal interior.  1.  How much should it cost to
reupholster the interior (i.e. seats, cloth portions of door panels,
etc.) and 2.  Where in the Dallas Texas metroplex should I go?

A few notes:
1.  I want to do cloth, not leather, and use reasonable quality
material (not very cheap or very expensive).
2.  An approximate price range is fine.

Hi nick37,


thanks for an interesting question.


I've called several companies in the Dallas area and have determined
that you should pay around a thousand dollars, assuming that you need
the whole interior reupholstered.  I'd go with the least expensive of
the following that will offer to guarantee they won't exceed the
quoted cost and readily shows you samples of their work that are of
acceptable quality.

The above contact information was taken from the SuperPages.com
listing for auto upholstery in the Dallas area, which lists 30
companies:

I also attempted to contact some companies listed under general
upholstery, but most didn't offer the service.  Those that did charge
as much as auto shops:
Mire Less Upholstery 
3720 Canton Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75226 
(214) 824-1453
~$1,400


Based on my conversation with an upholsterer, choice of cloth quality
shouldn't change the price by more than $150 or so, and vinyl would be
cheaper than cloth.
