IME the car upholstery specialists are the most competitive and the best of the independent specialists. Usually they'll strip the seat and third-party it out to an invisible mender. I've seen spectacular work for comparatively little money.

we've just had one done on a work car.
You can feel the repair if being picky, but it was hardly visible to the human eye.

No idea how it was done as we just farmed the job out to a repair specialist.
