Hey guys, does anyone know of a reputable/respectable leather trimmer in Sydney that could do my gearstick and steering wheel? I'm looking at getting them both retrimmed to red and black. Please note that I'm not looking for someone who will do a half-assed job with some dodgy leather that will wear out within a few years. I guess I believe in the whole idea of "you get what you pay for."
Any help would be great guys, as I really want it to match my custom leather job coming up. The guy doing my leather said he would not do the gearstick or the steering wheel because he personally thinks it will not turn out right.

vinh,

I had my steering wheel retrimmed by Ara at AA Quick Trim in Rozelle, just near the Anzac Bridge. A few other guys on the forum recommended him and i found him to very helpful and he did great work alot cheaper than other places had quoted me. I could not recommend him highly enough.

The phone number is 9555 1700 and the address is 47 Wellington St, Rozelle

Scott, got any pictures of the job? Also, does he do gearsticks?
Graham, thanks for that mate. I saw Neil's thread about it, but I wanted to see if there were any alternatives in Sydney.

If he is a trimmer and cant trim a wheel or gearstick, then how good will the rest of the job be?

Avin, his name is George from GT Custom Interiors. He's done cars that have won Auto Salon, not like that's a big achievement though. I am paying $3100 for all my seats, middle armrest cover and brake boot lid to be done in red leather. He just does not specialise in steering wheels and gearsticks I guess.
