5 Star Review by Galbreath S. Quin
I found Albo restoration while trying to find a shop that would rewrap a steering wheel for me. Every other 'complete interior' shop I'd asked prior had promptly told me "We don't do steering wheels." I guess they didn't want to mess with the airbag.
I spoke with Irene at Albo Restoration and showed her what needed to be done with my Toyota. She quickly told me the entire process in detail, and gave me an accurate estimate to the final cost. The work was a bit pricey, but Albo uses real bovine leather rather than the synthetic vinyl stuff the cars come out of the factory with these days. After also seeing pictures from reviews of the other work they've done, I felt the price was right for the craftsmanship of the work, and quality of the materials.
A couple business days after I dropped the car off, I got a call and email back from Irene that the car was done, my jaw dropped when I saw the pictures. The new leather matched the rest of the car perfectly. They seamed the leather exactly like the factory wheel was, and the stitchwork was beautiful.
From dull, black, and starting to flake, to smooth, two-tone luxury. I couldn't be more happy with the work. Well worth the cost, and the 2 hour drive from Beverly to Mundelein!
I highly recommend Albo Restoration to anyone who's looking to fix their worn auto upholsterey, while also topping-off on the luxury of their vehicle's interior.
We just had Motorhome dinette, sofa/bed, driver & passengers seats reupholstered and Albo did an amazing job. Work was professional, timely and cost competitive. We drove over 200+ miles because they are the best!!!

2008 Jag needed a new headliner. Could not find a resource that we were comfortable with as it is a specialty expertise these days. Finally discovered Albo. Spoke to Irene and visited the shop. Felt the expertise was definitely with Albo. Dropped the car off and picked it up four days later. Very pleased with the result. Craftsmen. Excellent work. Thank you very much. Well done.

I needed my driver side door panel armrest replaced in my 2016 Subaru Outback as it was very worn and torn. Albo Restoration did outstanding work replacing the armrest materials. The price was fair and work was done as promised in a timely manner. The owner Irene was a pleasure to work with through this process. I highly recommend Albo Restoration Services for any upholstery needs.

I had a 1998 automotive driver's seat bolster restored to the original interior components of the vehicle. I did not expect an exact color match but sought an improvement over the existing leather. Irene explained the restoration service process in detail and answered any questions I had. She was on point with her description of the work, knowledge of the process and anticipated result. The work was even better than I could have expected. This is real craftmanship rooted in the traditions of European artistry. I highly recommend Albo Restoration Services.
