If there is a community college nearby they may offer an Upholstery Course that you can take. I took one and recovered some of my household furniture during the "class" (4 chairs and a loveseat) plus it was lotsa fun. Our teacher was a specialist in Auto Upholstery but I never needed to cover anything for my car when I took the class.

If that doesn't interest you, I find that prices vary with region and towns. For good work, look in a small town where someone has been upholstering for a long time.. usually does good work and is cheaper than the big city shops. Make sure he does auto seats and see if you can take a look at his work or get word-of-mouth recommendations.

Good Luck!
