McCoys Upholstery

About McCoys Upholstery

McCoys Upholstery has been Woodside's and New York City's go-to auto upholstery shop since 1948, and more than seven decades later it remains owner-operated, with the same hands-on craftsmanship that built its name across Queens and the wider metro. From its workshop at 69-14 49th Avenue, the shop rebuilds, repairs, and reimagines vehicle interiors that a quick detailer will never touch: worn driver's seats restitched to factory shape, cracked dashboards recovered, sagging headliners replaced, and tired carpeting swapped for fresh, color-matched material. The core of the business is automotive upholstery. McCoys installs new seat upholstery in leather, vinyl, and cloth, fits custom door panels and OEM-style replacements, and is an authorized Katzkin leather restyler, converting cloth interiors to genuine leather with a factory-grade finish. For drivers restoring older iron, the shop's classic and antique car interior restoration covers period-correct materials, custom spring gaiters, seat welding, and hard-to-source trim, the detailed work that separates a true trim shop from a parts installer. Convertible tops are a signature specialty. McCoys repairs and replaces tops in vinyl, canvas, Stayfast, and German canvas, handles custom designs, and tracks down hard-to-find replacements for cars other shops turn away. That depth extends well beyond passenger cars. The commercial transportation side handles government and private fleet contract work, MV-1 accessible-vehicle upholstery, limousine and party-bus interiors, construction-equipment seats, and even airplane and helicopter seating, while motorcycle and snowmobile seats round out the powersports work. McCoys is equally at home on the water. Its marine upholstery covers boat seat reupholstery and padding, custom cushions, vee-berths and bolsters, jet-ski and waverunner seats, sun-deck pads, and canvas or vinyl Bimini tops, all built from marine-grade materials made to survive sun and salt, with commercial work spanning yachts, ferries, and tugs. On land, the commercial and hospitality division reupholsters hotel lobbies, restaurant booths and banquettes, bar and lounge seating, office and event-space furniture, barber and salon chairs, and medical or massage tables. The same shop even produces custom gym wall mats and stunt mats used by gymnastics programs, martial-arts studios, schools, and film and television productions. That range is unusual for a neighborhood trim shop, and it is why McCoys draws work from across the Queens auto upholstery market and the broader field of auto upholstery shops in New York alike. Everything is quoted with a free estimate, and because the owners run the floor, customers deal directly with the people doing the work rather than a service writer. The practical details are simple. McCoys Upholstery sits at 69-14 49th Avenue in Woodside, NY 11377, minutes from the Long Island Expressway and the BQE, and is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Saturdays available by appointment. Estimates are free, the phone is answered by people who know upholstery, and the same shop that stitched New York interiors in 1948 is still doing it today for daily drivers, weekend classics, work fleets, boats, and the occasional film-set stunt mat.
