Convertible Tops and Upholstery for Mokena, Frankfort, and New Lenox
Mokena, Frankfort, and New Lenox line the I-80 and Lincoln Highway corridor in eastern Will County, with growing neighborhoods, family SUVs in every driveway, and a weekend car or two in the garage. Frankfort's historic downtown and the Old Plank Road Trail draw visitors on summer weekends, and convertibles are a common sight. Don's Auto Interiors & Tops in Alsip has served southwest suburban families since 1977.
Family vehicles: the everyday stuff
In busy households, interiors take a beating: kids, sports gear, dogs, and spilled drinks. We fix:
- Torn or stained seats: single-panel replacement or full recovers (auto upholstery)
- Cracked leather and leather upgrades (leather seat repair)
- Sagging headliners (headliner replacement)
- Worn or stained carpet (auto carpet replacement)
- Seat heaters and lumbar support added during repairs (seat heater and lumbar install)
The weekend convertible
For the convertible that comes out when the weather's nice, we replace tops and rear windows, repair power tops, and check pads, cables, seals, and frame alignment so the new top fits right. Installs take 8 to 12 hours of shop time, so plan a drop-off. See convertible top replacement, Mustang tops, and Miata tops.
Bikes and boats
- Motorcycle seats: rebuilt foam, reshaped for comfort, recovered with custom stitching (motorcycle seats)
- Boat and pontoon seats: marine vinyl, new foam, new bases (pontoon boat seats)
- Covers and canvas (boat covers and canvas)
Small businesses along the corridor
From fitness studios to dental offices and restaurants, the businesses along LaGrange Road, Route 30, and Wolf Road have seating that wears out. We reupholster gym pads, exam tables, dental chairs, booths, and stools. B2B partners receive discounted rates. See commercial upholstery.
Getting to Alsip
- I-80 east to the Tri-State (I-294), then to Cicero Avenue
- Or north on Harlem Avenue or Cicero Avenue, depending on where you start
Our shop: 11937 S. Cicero Ave, Alsip, IL 60803, open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Tips to save a trip
- Send photos of the damage and your vehicle details.
- Ask about timing. Smaller repairs usually take much less time. Tops take 8 to 12 hours.
- Bundle jobs. If the seat and headliner both need work, we'll quote them together.
- Bring just the piece for motorcycle seats, boat cushions, and commercial pads.
Kid-proofing an interior
Busy families often ask how to make a newly repaired interior last. A few ideas:
- Choose durable materials. Vinyl and coated fabrics wipe clean more easily than some cloths.
- Use seat protectors under car seats to reduce wear and dents in the cushion.
- Clean spills quickly, before they soak into foam.
- Add floor mats that catch mud and salt before they reach the carpet.
If the interior is already showing wear, a panel repair now can save a full recover later.
Frankfort's weekend drives
On a nice weekend, the area's back roads and historic downtown are made for a convertible with the top down. Make sure the top is ready. If the rear window is cloudy or the top is shrinking, call us in the off-season to book.
Book tops before spring
Spring is the busiest season for convertible work. If your top needs replacing, schedule it in winter so it's done before the first warm weekend.
