When it comes to processing insurance claims involving damaged vehicle interiors, adjusters often face a critical decision: repair or replace? For many, the default choice has been costly full replacements of dashboards, headliners, or custom seats. But there’s a more efficient, cost-saving alternative: Elite Custom Upholstery in Sun Valley, California.
