Your car’s interior is just as important as its engine or tires. At Stitched By Wash Auto Upholstery, we specialize in making sure your car looks and feels great from the inside out. Whether it’s leather, fabric, or custom detailing, your vehicle’s interior needs routine care to maintain its beauty and functionality.
Below are the most frequently asked questions about car interior care and how we help our clients across Nairobi City, Karen, Thome, Thika Road, Kisumu City, Eldoret City, and Mombasa City keep their interiors in top condition.

Q1. How often should I clean my car interior?
It’s ideal to clean your car interior at least once every two weeks, with a deep clean every 1–2 months. This includes vacuuming seats and carpets, wiping down dashboards and trims, and conditioning leather or fabric seats.
Q2. My steering wheel is worn out. Can it be reupholstered?
Absolutely. Steering wheel upholstery is one of our popular services. We replace worn-out leather or fabric with premium materials to give you a fresh, comfortable, and stylish grip.
Q3. What’s the best way to protect leather car seats?
Regular vacuuming, avoiding direct sunlight, and using leather conditioner every 2–3 months can preserve your seats. We also offer leather seat restoration to repair cracks, fading, or peeling for a like-new look.

Q4. Can you fix damaged dashboards?
Yes, we provide dashboard repair services for cracked, faded, or warped dashboards. Whether it’s a heat-related issue or general wear and tear, our team ensures a seamless finish that matches your interior.
Q5. Is car seat reupholstering worth it?
Yes, car seat reupholstering services are ideal for upgrading or repairing your seats without replacing them. We use high-quality materials and expert stitching to restore comfort and style.

We do! Our custom car interiors service allows you to choose colors, materials, and stitching patterns that reflect your personality. Whether you want luxury, sport, or minimalist vibes, we’ve got you covered.
Q7. What does vehicle interior refurbishment involve?
Vehicle interior refurbishment includes restoring or replacing seats, dashboards, panels, floor carpets, headliners, and more. It’s perfect if your car’s interior is aging or you’re preparing it for resale.
Q8. Can you replace or repair a broken gear knob?
Yes. We offer gear knob replacement and repair for both manual and automatic cars. Choose from classic, sporty, or luxurious styles to complement your car’s interior.
