The local shop may charge $200-250, but the tech doesn't get that. I'd ask what his hourly rate is and double it - then pay in cash.------------------

What exactly do you mean by "upholstery installation"? Slapping in a door panel or a seat, or actually getting out the hog ring pliers and sewing machine.I can probably give you a pretty good idea what I would think is fair, but I need a better idea what you're doing. ------------------

The upholstery guy I use charged me $150 to install the upholstery on my 68 seats. He has a shop but he only opens part time. The full time folks want double that.
