I am very careful regarding who I recommend, however, I would recommend Stanley Trimmers without hesitation. Not only did they source a hood for my Lotus Elan M100 at very short notice, they fitted it in record time and to the highest standard. Few Elans are totally waterproof, but mine is.
Karls work is first class and in my opinion it is worth every penny (although undoubtedly cheaper substandard options are available elsewhere). Ill stick with the quality option

Recently got my motorbike seat in exotic leather, fully custom built and trimmed to perfection , could not be happier will recommend to everybody as was grateful for the service as they are incredibly busy having been in business for nearly 30 yrs and took on a small job for me when they usually deal with larger projects on prestige cars

Contacted Stanley Trimmers after finding them online to replace the headlining on my Jaguar and realising they were local. I received a text from them on 15/6/21 booking the car in for 3/7 (Saturday) and confirmed immediately. On 30/6 I text to confirm the booking and the location of the business and received no response, so waited and sent another, still no reply. I continued to hear nothing from them in any way, no calls (missed or otherwise), no texts, absolutely nothing! On 5/7 (2 days after the work was supposed to be done) I received a text stating that my messages had been missed. I'm

Karl quoted me a price to reform and re-cover a motorcycle seat and it would take about 2 weeks. After chasing them after 2 weeks, a month later he tells me he wants over 50% more than he quoted as it took him longer than expected! I will be collecting the seat later today and will pay him what he quoted as long as its decent quality!

They have done a number of jobs on my Rapier, which have all been well done. However, when they were fitting new carpets I asked them to run a speaker wire from the newly refurbished radio to the boot after the old carpets were taken out. They forgot to do this, and acknowledged their oversight, but offered to retro fit. But after this was done they wanted to charge the full hourly rate for lifting the new carpet, running the cable, and refitting carpet! This for a job that would have taken 5 minutes if they had remembered when the old carpets were removed. So, use them by all means, BUT give them
