Fixtrim Leather Repair – Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile car seat leather repair service in and around Montreal

​

1. What is Fixtrim?

Fixtrim is a mobile leather repair service in Montreal specializing in car seat leather repair, interior trim repair, and minor restoration. We come to your home or workplace to repair torn, cracked, faded, or worn leather and vinyl so you don’t have to leave your car at a shop.

​

2. Which areas do you service?

We are based in Montreal and serve Montreal and surrounding areas (Greater Montreal, Laval, South Shore and nearby).
If you’re not sure whether your area is covered, contact us with your postal code and we’ll confirm.

​

3. What types of damage can you repair?

Fixtrim repairs most common car leather and vinyl damage, including:

• Cracks and worn leather on car seats

• Tears, cuts and punctures

• Colour fading or discoloration

• Pet scratches and scuffs

• Small burns (cigarette burns)

• Wear on armrests, bolsters, door panels and consoles

If you’re unsure, send us photos and we’ll tell you if a leather car seat repair is possible.

​

4. Do you only repair car seats?

Yes. While car seat leather repair is our main service, Fixtrim can also:

• Repair and recolour leather furniture in Montreal (sofas, chairs, recliners)

• Clean, maintain and touch up luxury leather bags and small items

Ask us about your project—if it’s leather or vinyl, we can probably help.

​

5. How does the mobile leather repair service work?

1. You contact us by phone or email, message or form.

2. You send photos of the damage (different angles and close-ups).

3. We evaluate the damage and give you an estimate.

4. We schedule a visit at your home or workplace.

5. We perform the repair on-site—no need to leave your vehicle or furniture at a shop.

Our mobile service is designed to be fast, convenient and professional.

​

6. How long does a typical car seat leather repair take?

Most car seat leather repairs take 1–3 hours, depending on:

• Size and depth of the damage

• Number of damaged areas

• Drying and curing time for fillers and coatings

We’ll give you a time estimate once we see your photos.

​

7. How much does leather repair cost?

Pricing depends on:

• Type of item (car seat, console, furniture, bag)

• Size and location of the damage

• Whether colour matching or multiple panels are required

In most cases, professional leather repair is much cheaper than replacement and often cheaper than what dealerships charge.
Send us clear photos and we’ll provide a no-obligation quote.

​

8. Is repair better than replacing the leather?

Often, yes. A quality leather repair:

• Costs less than replacing a full seat cover or panel

• Preserves your original factory interior

• Takes less time and doesn’t require leaving your car at a body shop

For many small to medium damages, repair is the most cost-effective and practical solution.

​

9. Can you match the original leather color and texture?

Yes. We use professional products and techniques to:

• Mix and custom match the color of your existing leather or vinyl

• Blend the repair into the surrounding area

• Recreate texture where possible, so the repair is less noticeable

Our goal is to make the repair as invisible as possible in normal use.

​

10. Will the repair be visible?

Every repair is different, but in most cases:

• From normal viewing distance, the repair is hard to notice

• Up close, you may see a slight difference in texture or sheen

We will always aim for the best possible cosmetic result and will be honest with you about what to expect before starting.

​

11. How long will the repair last?

With normal use and basic care, a professional leather repair should last several years. Durability depends on:

• Where the damage is (high-wear areas like bolsters wear faster)

• How often the surface is used

• How well the leather is cleaned and conditioned

We use automotive-grade, professional products designed for long-term use.

​

12. Do you repair all types of leather and vinyl?

We work with:

• Automotive leather and vinyl

• Most coated and pigmented leathers

• Many types of synthetic leather (faux leather/PU)

Some exotic, unfinished or very delicate leathers may have limitations. If you’re not sure, send us photos and details.

​

13. Can you fix leather furniture and home interiors?

Yes. Fixtrim also offers leather furniture repair in Montreal, including:

• Sofas, sectionals and armchairs

• Office chairs and recliners

• Minor pet damage, scratches, fading and small tears

Our mobile leather repair service can come directly to your home or office.

​

14. How should I care for my leather after the repair?

To extend the life of your leather car seat repair:

• Avoid harsh cleaners and household chemicals

• Clean gently with a mild leather cleaner and soft cloth

• Keep sharp objects and metal accessories away from repaired areas

• Avoid direct, intense sunlight when possible

We can recommend specific products suitable for your leather type.

​

15. How do I get a quote from Fixtrim?

Getting a quote is simple:

1. Take clear photos of the damage (wide and close-up).

We’ll review your images and send you a personalized estimate for your leather repair.
