Advance Auto Upholstery in Van Nuys

Thanks to Mario today who finally made my seats feel correct. He did everything I asked him to do.
He is a great guy and came highly recommended. What you see here is what the other shop did instead of replacing the cushion and seat back foam.

Parts on Net

I want to say how appreciative I am with Tim over at www.partsonnet.com.
He was great assisting me with the parts I needed for my 1977 Datsun 280Z.
Also to add he was professional and courteous.
