I'm absolutely gutted about what happened to my car this weekend. I had a friend in the passenger seat who was smoking and must have dropped the ash or the cigarette itself without realizing, because when they got out I noticed this small but very obvious burn mark right in the middle of the leather seat. It's about the size of a coin and it's gone right through the surface, leaving this ugly dark spot that I can't stop staring at every time I get in the car. I've been looking at replacement seat covers online and the prices are genuinely shocking, we're talking thousands just for the passenger side, which is way more than I can justify spending right now. I've heard that leather repair is actually a thing where they can fill and dye the damaged area to make it look almost new again, but I'm not sure how well that actually works on burn damage compared to just scratches or cracks. I work over near the industrial area so I'm hoping to find a place that offers a professional car upholstery service in Mussafah because I figure the specialists in that area deal with this kind of work all the time. Has anyone here had a burn hole repaired successfully and can tell me whether it actually held up over time and looked convincing? I'd really like to avoid the cost of a full replacement if there's a good repair option available.
