- Dr. Vinyl of Hampton and Newport News IncI talked to Jeanne, she picked up the wheel and bought it back completed in the specified time. Always a great job!
- Young's Upholstery - NorfolkThey recovered my furniture to my satisfaction. They went above and beyond, there were two cushions that didn't turn out very well, but they fixed them without any hassles, and were very polite and professional about it. All of my furniture looks brand new, they did a great job!
- Leather Restore & MoreThe service went great. They were very professional. They came out gave and estimate and got the work done very quickly. Everything was cleaned up as well.
- Dr. Vinyl of Hampton and Newport News IncWe bought a lovely Prius Hybrid at CarMax. Between the test drive and closing, a scattering of multiple holes in various sizes and depths (some right through the fabric) appeared in the car in the fabric upholstery. Several were on the driver seat back, one was on the Drivers seat near the door and one on the opposite arm rest. They looked melted or perhaps burned (though the edges were not blackened) and they were of varying depths in the light grey fabric, some completely through the material. It was very mysterious and made us sad because the car was otherwise very clean and we are always very aware of the state of the driver's seat in our vehicles and maintain clean cars. We considered backing out of the deal and looking for another car. When we showed them the problem CarMax asked us to allow them to have the seat repaired. The said they were calling in Dr Vinyl, made an appointment for the next day and we brought the car in. Two technicians from Dr Vinyl examined the damage with us and discussed what they could do. They said the repair would blend in well and would last well. They worked for more than an hour on the car. Only time will tell about the durability, but we are pleased with the looks of the repair. It's hard to get colors to match exactly in upholstery that has a nap, and of course, the texture applied to a patch is not going to look quite the same because plastic is not fabric. However, they did a good job. The multiple patched areas are very close in color and the texture is acceptable. We are pleased with how the seat looks. Our eyes are no longer drawn to the repaired areas. The passenger armrest repair (which was very deep) is virtually invisible and the other repairs appear like faint marks. Because CarMax paid Dr Vinyl for the repair we don't know the cost, (I put $1.00 because Angie's list requires an amount in that field, but we actually paid nothing; I do not know what Carmax paid Dr Vinyl.) Due to the repairs made swiftly and capably by the Dr Vinyl technicians we decided to keep the car we loved. Should something else happen to the upholstery of our Prius that we cannot handle, we will Call Dr Vinyl with confidence

- Young's Upholstery - Virginia BeachThey did an excellent job. They ordered the window for me and did a really good job; it was a nice top. They are very responsive, professional and precise in ordering the correct material and size of top. I had absolutely no issues with the convertible top after they put it on. They offered that if anything came up or if I needed it adjusted I could bring it back to them. They have been highly recommended by my daughter who works for an automotive dealership. I thought their pricing was very fair. They finished it when they said they would

"Hampton Roads does not have too many full service car washes. However, I would say that Majestic is probably the best I have been to. The staff is friendly and if they miss something they are always happy to clean up any missed spots and ensure I am happy before I leave. I definitely recommend Majestic.
