Upholstery and Convertible Tops for Chicago Heights, Homewood, and Flossmoor

The far south suburbs, Chicago Heights, Homewood, Flossmoor, and Park Forest, mix a long manufacturing tradition with established residential neighborhoods along the Lincoln Highway and Dixie Highway corridors. Chicago Heights' industrial base keeps forklifts and fleet vehicles busy, and the neighborhoods in Homewood and Flossmoor are full of well-kept cars and weekend convertibles. Don's Auto Interiors & Tops in Alsip has served the south suburbs since 1977.

Manufacturing and industrial seating

Plants and warehouses in Chicago Heights and the surrounding area rely on forklifts, yard trucks, and equipment whose seats see hard, constant use. We:

• Recover seats in heavy-duty vinyl
• Rebuild foam that's packed down
• Repair cracked or broken frames, including welding
• Repair track assemblies
• Make custom covers for equipment protection

See forklift and tractor seats and fleet seat repair. B2B partners receive discounted rates.

Homes, commutes, and daily drivers

For Homewood, Flossmoor, and Park Forest families, the everyday jobs are:

• Driver's seat panel repair and full recovers (auto upholstery)
• Leather repair and leather upgrades (leather seat repair)
• Sagging headliners (headliner replacement)
• Carpet replacement after winters of salt and slush (auto carpet replacement)

Lincoln Highway car culture

The Lincoln Highway (US-30) runs through this area, and classic cars are a regular sight at local cruise nights and shows. We install convertible tops for classic American cars, repair hydraulic power tops, and build classic interiors from scratch. See classic GM convertible tops, classic car interiors, and convertible top repair.

Boats and motorcycles

South suburban boaters and riders bring us boat seats, pontoon furniture, canvas, and motorcycle seats, mostly in the off-season. See boat upholstery, pontoon boat seats, and motorcycle seats.

A seasonal checklist for south suburban drivers

Spring: check your convertible top and rear window before the first top-down drive, and look at carpet for salt stains from the winter.

Summer: use a sunshade to protect leather and the headliner. Heat is what makes headliner foam fail.

Fall: bring in boat cushions and canvas after haul-out, and motorcycle seats once riding season winds down.

Winter: schedule convertible tops and classic interiors so they're ready for spring cruise nights. Top installations take 8 to 12 hours of shop time, and spring fills up fast.

Plant and fleet managers

If you manage equipment or vehicles for a plant or contractor, send a list of units with photos of each seat. We'll quote them together and set up a schedule that keeps your operation running. Many seats can be swapped with a spare while the original is rebuilt.

Business seating in the south suburbs

Restaurants, gyms, and medical and dental offices along Dixie Highway and Halsted Street can bring us booths, stools, benches, and exam tables. We'll quote from photos and a piece count, and plan the work in stages so you stay open. See restaurant booth reupholstery.
