Professional auto upholstery and vehicle finishing for cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles. Every stitch, every seam — done right the first time.
From worn-out seats to complete interior overhauls, we handle it all with precision and care.
Complete seat reupholstery in vinyl, leather, or custom fabric. We repair tears, replace foam, and restore that factory-fresh look — or better.
Sagging headliners and worn floor carpets replaced with quality materials. Clean fit, proper adhesion, and a finish that lasts.
Dashboard repair, trim restoration, and console reupholstery. Cracked vinyl gets smoothed, colored, and protected — or fully wrapped.
Unique projects demand unique solutions. Custom stitching patterns, color matching, and specialty materials for classic cars and personal builds.
Exterior paint correction, touch-ups, and clear coat restoration. We bring faded finishes back to life with professional-grade materials.
Structural repairs, frame work, and mechanical fixes alongside cosmetic restoration. A complete solution, not just a surface treatment.
Herbst Upholstery & Auto Finishing has been serving the Dubuque community and surrounding areas for over two decades. What started as a one-person operation has grown into a trusted shop known for honest work and attention to detail that shows.
We treat every vehicle — whether a daily driver or a weekend classic — with the same standard: finish it like it's our own. No shortcuts, no rushed jobs. Just solid craftsmanship you can count on.
"The best compliment is when someone asks where you got your seats done — and you tell them right here in Dubuque."
