How It Works · Alpha Auto Concepts
From First Conversation
to Finished Interior
No price list, no off-the-shelf packages.
Here’s exactly what happens from the moment you get in touch,
and what we’ll need from you along the way.
What to Expect
“Every interior we build is a one-off, so the process matters as much as the finish.”
Because no two jobs are the same, we don’t work from a price list. What we do have is a clear, consistent way of working that we’ve refined over 25 years in the Holmfirth workshop, so you always know where your car is, what’s happening to it and what it’s going to cost.
The same five steps apply whether it’s a single seat repair, a full leather retrim, a classic restoration or a completely bespoke interior. The only things that change are how long each step takes and how much there is to talk about at the start.
Most customers come to us knowing roughly what they want but not knowing quite what’s possible. That’s a conversation we enjoy, and it’s where every project starts.
The five steps
Get in touch
Send us a few photos of your current interior and tell us what you’re after: colour, material, how you use the car, anything you’ve seen and liked. The form on this site lets you attach photos; around five is plenty, with close-ups of the worst areas. If you’d rather talk, call 01484 603 000. We’ll come back to you with questions, a rough idea of cost, or both.
Consultation & quote
For anything beyond a straightforward repair, we’ll want to see the car. Bring it to the workshop in Holmfirth (we can arrange collection for some jobs), we’ll go over the interior together, show you leather and material samples, and talk through what will and won’t work. If it helps you picture the finished result, we can produce artwork concepts before any work starts. You’ll then get an itemised written quote covering materials, labour and any extras such as heated seats or audio.
Book your slot
Happy with the quote? A booking deposit secures your date and lets us order materials. Our diary is usually booked a few weeks ahead, and the wait is a good time to finalise colours and stitch details. We’ll confirm the drop-off date well in advance.
The work
Once your car is in, it stays with us until it’s finished. Seats come out, panels come off, patterns are cut, and every piece is trimmed, stitched and fitted by hand in-house; nothing is subcontracted. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you book. If anything unexpected turns up once the old trim is off, we’ll call before doing anything that changes the price.
Collection
We walk you round the finished interior before you drive away so you can see every detail. The balance is settled on collection. All our work is guaranteed: if there’s anything you’re not happy with, come back and we’ll put it right.
