My dad has used this guy a few times, rebuilt some boat seats, Re covered the seat in mom’s mustang and recently Redid the seat on his Harley.
he does‘nt answer the phone a lot, because he’s a one man shop. He does do excellent work and is reasonable on price too.

I could do that, won't match the other seats though

I am not sure what color you have, but there are multiple sellers on E-Bay selling factory OEM replacement covers.

I have done several sets myself, it takes a little time, but not too bad to do. Buy a hog ring and plyer set off Amazon and do it yourself.

Sure it will, just have to do them all.

You can usually find a drivers seat at a junk yard for like $100 if you search for a like new condition one. Look on
car-part.com and search.

Those dodge caravan seats are a pain to change but if you are a little handy then it's not too bad.

I'm not too sure how much reupholstering cost but when I went to a shop to have a recliner quoted, it was more than the whole unit cost new.

You can buy colored duct tape to almost match the rest of the seats. Ask me how I know?
Hint: put a piece of tape sticky side up at the back and you will never lose your change.

Have you tried Kelley's in Columbus off of S. Cherry St? They do good work.

I had a set of Audi buckets custom reupholstered for the Super Bee a year or so ago. It was $1700.00. . . and I supplied the material. They turned out great, but pricey.

Every shop I’ve worked at used them for something.

Yup, this plus hog ring pliers is very doable. If the foam is deteriorated you can cut the rotted bits out and glue in a piece of new foam to fit. The hog rings and stretching the cover are annoying but simple.

I saw the thread title and it caught my eye so I decided to read into it. Pretty ironic that I have a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country with cracking seats. I guess there’s a pattern developing here. I was going to do something about it but the thing has 285,000 miles on it and as long as the body doesn’t fall off I’m keeping it until it completely expires.

from what I read, it's a common problem in these vans apparently... my van only has 133k on the clock, so trying to keep it nice a while longer.

I called up Don's and going to take the van up next week to get a quote...hopefully it would be reasonable.

You can get a Replacement Seat at the Junk Yard cheaper than
upholstery. 4 Bolts and the Electrical Pig Tail.

I have a 2008 Chevy Equinox with "leather" interior that was a $600. option which is a mix of leather and vinyl.
Of course the the vinyl part is cracking. It is a med gray almost the color of duct tape, red neck option!

Claude and Greg's in Avon is also good
