It pays to add your location to your profile so we can see which state you are in.

The obvious answer is an auto-trimmer, but if you're seeking recommendations then it would help if you provide more information such as what you are after (cloth, leather etc., front only or front and rear) and the price range you are looking to pay. "Cheap" can mean many things to many people.

Changing seat cover

For the front and rear. Leather is too expensive for me so i guess i'll be going for the cloth instead. I'm looking at below $1000 or at most $2000. What do you think?

As I'm from Mel I can't recommend anyone in Sydney, but $1-2K for re-trimming is by no means "cheap". You should be able to get an excellent job for that price.

I'm pretty certain a few people on this forum have had either suede or leather done for around $1.5k, it may pay for you to use the "search" feature.

If you willing to spend up to 2k, u should have any problem what so ever to get all your seat re-trim to leather, of course not top of the range, but it would still look awesome.

From memory Foulz said he know someone that can re-trim interior cheap, so may be u should give him a ring or pm him. His from Syd as well & u should able to find his number in his "Car for sale" post.
