There's nothing super special about installing leather. Just like any other cover. If working with dealers, you'll have a variety of cars and trucks requiring work. Just make sure you know how the trim pieces and hard parts come off without breaking any clips. Nothing is more unprofessional than giving a car back to a dealer that you've broken.

I'm fairly close to a large installation company that covers several states around here. Even though I'm a registered leather installer, so is this company. Because of their volume, they can offer installs at a far lower cost than I can do while making it profitable. Instead, I work with individuals wanting to upgrade after the sale on a one-to-one basis. I'm also in a position to do custom work for this large company which makes for a nice working relationship.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
