I'm not in ATL but have some offerings.

You will need to define "new" condition.

New as in typical shop made coverings.

New as in coverings made from patterns then installed.

New as in Pebble Beach quality.

How closely do you want the material / colors to match the rest of the car? Dyes change from lot to lot, original materials fade.

This will need to be discussed with what ever shop you select. Making coverings without a pattern can be more expensive and less perfect than premade coverings.

There are some sites online that make Mercedes coverings, GAHH is one but I don't have direct experience with them.

I got my seat covers from https://www.topsonline.com/ for a W123, but I think Vic makes virtually everything. JUST MAKE SURE you can find a shop to install them in your area. I just discovered a shop in Columbia, SC which I am very happy with so far. That shop is called Upholstery on Wheels in Columbia, SC on Satchelford Road. You cannot beat Vic's pricing or quality. However, I ended up getting initially screwed by a shop which took my money then claimed it could not install the seat covers. Vic accepted my seats and installed those seat covers for free except for half of the shipping costs.

Maybe the best around, but I believe I called them a while ago right before I ordered my seat covers and some of the pricing will make your jaw drop.
