My advice is to stay away from D&R Automotive Restylers Inc.!....I took my collector car there, it's a pretty rare vintage automobile with only 5500 cars estimated to have been imported into the US. I've owned and worked on it personally for 40 yrs. Getting older, maybe not as motivated to do the work myself these days, I decided to seek out a "professional" automotive re-upholsterer for some needed repairs. I found D&R Restylers after some online investigation using Google searches and reviews. I interviewed Ray, one of the business namesakes who came to my home to discuss seat re-upholstery and learned of other "restyling" things D&R does which included stereo and headlight upgrades. I told Ray I was very particular and considered myself a craftsman. I relayed to him I am a semi-retired aerospace engineer supporting our US manned space flight program; my hands-on work is as good on the inside as anyone can see on the outside to set the tone for my expectations. Ray painted himself as a kindred spirit and was quite personable and up front told me he charges $85/hr which I thought was reasonable for quality work. I decided to take a chance and let D&R do the work. I purchased and supplied leather seat skins and cushions, a modern car stereo and LED headlights, all told @ $2000 worth of supplies to D&R. Long story short: Ray, Dennis (the other D&R namesake) and Jay (a technician) worked on my car, maybe others (?). ALL are responsible for the shoddy, potentially DANGEROUS, extremely poor-quality work by anyone's standards who is not blind. Issues discovered so far include: electrical steering column harness now overheating, headlight electrical wiring was not installed to prevent faults, failure or future service and not protected from the environment - waterproofing headlight gaskets and grommets were missing (imagine losing headlights while driving!), assembly screws and hardware were broken, missing or re-assembled into wrong locations, driver's seat was left un-adjustable front to back after reupholstery, the leather seat skins were torn at assembly staking locations to the seat frame....God only knows what I have yet to discover. There should be a negative star rating allowed for the likes of D&R Automotive Restylers! ....run as far away from this business as you can!

I had the interior in my vintage Camaro completely restored. Very friendly people with great service. Ray was very transparent and honest the entire way through the job and got it done in a very timely manner for a more than fair price. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for this type of work.

The service and time taken was amazing. I would definitely recommend D & R to my friends and family. The Tech took time to explain how the device worked and even gave us the time needed to answer our questions. Overall, it was a great experience.

We are Buffalo's authorized dealer for Audiovox electronics, E&G simulated convertible tops and grilles, and Webasto-Hollandia sunroofs, just one of the reasons we are the #1 choice for the car dealerships in Western New York. If you bought a car or truck and had accessories added, chances are the work was performed by D&R.  We are also tops in customer service and quality, so stop in and see how we can make your car or truck the vehicle you always wanted it to be. U could say kevin refer u.
