For more tips and advice on how to make your auto upholstery shop more successful, check out The Hog Ring‘s “Better Business” section.

    Not sure a cup of coffee is very refreshing in this summers heat 🙂 We do have a small drink cooler in our customer area filled with frosty drinks. For those customers that need the extra layer of friendliness, we have another cooler in the work area that has a local beer selection. My business partner’s brother works for a local brewery and always brings us something new to sample.
