Overview

Interiors for the Miles Covington Drivers Cover

A Covington truck does the school run, the Trailhead car park and the highway south in the same day. The interior takes all of that, which is why materials and stitch matter more than color.

An interior job is measured in hours spent sitting in it. Seats, door cards, headliners and consoles are rebuilt in the material and stitch you pick, cut to the frames and fitted tight. Covington customers choose the hide or cloth and the thread before we cut anything.

Every interior upholstery job here starts the same way: we look at the vehicle, agree what it needs, and put a price and a timeline in writing before anything is touched. You get updates while it is with us and the final say on every part that goes on. Covington customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Tell us what the vehicle needs and we will come back with options, a timeline and a price. Contact Big Easy Custom Cars to book interior upholstery in Covington.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Have To Say

I worked with Big Easy Custom Cars on a full interior upholstery upgrade, and they really delivered. The stitching, the material, the fit, everything looks clean and professionally done. It completely changed the feel of the car.

Monique R. Interior · Upholstery

My interior was outdated, so I had them redo the upholstery. The new stitching and materials make the whole cabin feel premium now. It honestly feels like I'm driving a different vehicle. Super happy with how it turned out.

Rachel D. Interior · Upholstery

I didn't know exactly what I wanted at first, but after talking with the crew about custom graphics, we came up with something unique that really fits my style. The paint work is smooth and even up close, which impressed me the most.
