The idea of rolling out of a show room in in a brand new car while enticing does not necessarily align everyone’s budget. With so many quality and mechanically sound second hand vehicles available, in some cases still covered by residual new car warranty, it may just as equally attractive to save the coin from buying a new car and opt for a second hand option.
The interior upholstery or a vehicle new or second hand is worthy of protection to keep your investment in optimum condition. Upgrading the interior of a second-hand car with seat covers is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to breathe new life into your ride without breaking the bank. Here’s how to do it right:
Choose the Right Material for Your Lifestyle
- Canvas: Perfect for tradies, pet owners, fleet operators or off-roaders. It’s tough, water-resistant, and built to handle dirt, tools, and paws.
- Neoprene: Great for beachgoers and families. It’s waterproof, cushioned, and easy to clean.
- Polyester: A budget-friendly option that’s breathable, comfortable, and discreetly elevates your cars interior.
- Sheepskin: Adds a touch of luxury while being extremely practical for all year round travel comfort. Australian Merino sheepskin regulates temperature and feels plush across all seasons.
Refresh the Look & Feel
- Tailored seat covers give your interior a factory-fresh appearance—no sagging or bunching, full access to all ISO fix points and vehicle specific fitment.
- Choose colours and textures that complement your dashboard and trim for a cohesive aesthetic. Canvas fabrics are available in black or grey as are comfort touch polyseters suiting the majority of vehicle interiors.
- Add matching accessories like steering wheel covers and seat belt pads for further transformation and travel comfort.
Protect & Preserve
- Seat covers shield your original upholstery from UV damage, stains, and wear, especially if the car has existing sun-faded or worn or torn seats.
- They help maintain resale value by keeping the interior clean and intact.
- Only buy airbag compatible seat covers, ensuring your safety isn’t compromised.
Save on Repairs & Boost Value
- Avoid costly retrimming or upholstery repairs by covering worn seats or even better, covering seats to avoid wear and tear in the first place.
- A clean, well-maintained interior can increase buyer appeal and fetch a higher resale price.
- Seat covers are a low-cost investment with high visual and functional returns.
