We proudly serve Venice, FL and the surrounding area, including Nokomis, Osprey, Englewood, North Port, Port Charlotte, Rotonda West, Boca Grande, Punta Gorda, Sarasota and beyond.

Overview

Transform Your Vehicle with High-Quality Upholstery

Apogee Upholstery specializes in custom car upholstery, seat restoration and interior repair for daily drivers, trucks, classics and collector cars in Venice, FL and across Sarasota and Charlotte counties. Whether you need one torn seat bolster fixed, a factory-fit Katzkin leather kit installed or a complete interior built for a show car, the work is done in-house by hand.

Florida heat and sun are brutal on interiors. We use automotive-grade leather, vinyl and fabrics with UV protection, rebuild the foam under the cover so the seat supports you again, and sew with thread chosen for the material, so the repair lasts longer than the original.

  • Comfort you can feel

    New foam and proper padding restore lumbar support and bolster shape, which matters on Florida's long, flat drives.

  • Looks that add value

    A clean, correctly fitted interior is one of the first things a buyer or appraiser notices, and one of the cheapest ways to add resale value.

  • Materials for the heat

    UV-stable automotive leather and vinyl, heat-resistant adhesives and thread that does not rot in a hot cabin.

  • Repair or full rebuild

    From a single panel repair to a complete custom interior, we scale the job to what the vehicle actually needs.

How it works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Free consultation

    Bring the vehicle by or send photos. We quote repairs honestly and tell you when a repair makes more sense than a rebuild.

  2. 2

    Material selection

    Leather, vinyl, cloth, suede or Alcantara-type fabrics, with samples you can see and touch in the shop.

  3. 3

    Removal & teardown

    Seats and panels are removed carefully, with airbag and electrical connectors handled correctly.

  4. 4

    Pattern, sew & rebuild

    Covers are patterned from the originals, foam is repaired or replaced, and every seam is sewn to match the factory lines.

  5. 5

    Reinstall & inspect

    Everything goes back in, is tested and checked with you before you drive away.

FAQ

Car Upholstery FAQ

Can you repair just one torn seat instead of the whole interior?

Yes. Single-panel repairs and one-seat reupholstery are common. We match the existing material as closely as possible so the repair does not stand out.

Do you install Katzkin leather?

Yes, we install Katzkin leather seat kits for most makes and models. Choose colors, perforation and stitching, and we handle removal, installation and reassembly.

How long does car upholstery take?

A seat repair or a Katzkin install is usually a day or two. Full custom interiors and classic restorations take longer, typically one to two weeks depending on scope.

Do you restore classic car interiors?

We do, from a 1946 Chevrolet pickup to muscle cars and European classics, using period-correct patterns and materials.

Where are you located?

420 E Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285, minutes from the Gulf. Customers come from Sarasota, Nokomis, Osprey, Englewood, North Port and Port Charlotte.
