Is reupholstering better than buying new?
To be honest – the cost to reupholster a piece of furniture can be the same as to purchase new. We do recommend going the reupholstery route IF the piece of furniture is sentimental, custom, or antique.
Can I just “bring my chair in”?
Yes – we only recommend sending us pictures and an estimate first, in order to save you time and stress! We like to let our customers know our pricing and lead times, before hauling in uncomfortable pieces to our shop.
Do you do convertible top replacements?
Yes – actually, our experienced automotive team can pretty much do anything outside of glass, paint, and body work. If we can’t help you with a project – we will certainly point you in the direction of someone who can!
How do I know if I need foam replacement?
During the estimation process, we almost always estimate WITHOUT foam. We do this, because in most cases, tired foam can be brought back to life with some steam! If you would like foam (or cotton) replaced, let us know and we’d be happy to estimate that for you!
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, and net terms (upon prior approval).
Had to repair a sofa due to puppy damage and... these folks did an outstanding job. The estimate was very close and most importantly they completed work in on time. Great communication. I'll be backread more
After my dog decided to see what’s inside a car... seat I was searching for a place that could repair or replace it. I got an estimate from a dealer to replace it. Another repair shop recommended Wichtermans. I sent photos of the damage. Grant responded right away and said they could reupholster the seat. Since I am 180 miles away from his shop I really appreciated his timeliness and good communication. He sent me a fabric sample so I wouldn’t waste a trip if it didn’t match, and got me an appointment at my convenience to have the repair done. In short he did a great job on the repair and at about 25% of the price the dealer quoted. I don’t know how they could have been any better. I would recommend them for anyone needing this type of service.read more
Fantastic folks doing fantastic work. They... replaced both front seat heater elements using parts I brought in for a very reasonable price, and completed the work same day with zero issues. Great having heated seats for these MN winters again!read more
I'm very pleased with the work done on the... drivers seat with my 2013 Escape. Bob and Paul were great to communicate with throughout the process. I'd recommend them to anyone.read more
I had a very positive experience at Wichterman's.... I had a tear in the vinyl leatherette on the driver's side seat of my car. I was referred to Wichterman's my one of the mobile repair companies in town. This particular repair company was particularly honest - they told me that I could use their service and they would attempt to repair the rip. However, they leveled with me that the best option would be to contact Wichterman's. They said that Wichterman's keeps a wide variety of products in stock, and can quickly recover the area in question.I dropped my car off in Chanhassen on a Tuesday night. I had an email at 2 pm the next day saying the repairs are all done. And they did a REALLY nice job. The seat looks completely new. And the best part is the cost was exceptionally reasonable. Honestly, it wasn't much more than the quotes I received for a mobile team to come out and try to fix it with a heat gun and reseal it (which would have shown a repair had been done). And with Wichterman's, my vinyl seat is totally new! Honestly, I'm really pleased with the work and the speed. And I'm grateful to the mobile leather repair company that referred me to them.I would recommend their work.read more
