Hello all,
My shop is in Chapel Hill NC. I've been using Keyston in Raleigh for years. But they are arrogant and don't treat their customers well in my experience. I'm just tired of it. There is limited selection in the Raleigh area. But because of the internet, it doesn't matter quite so much. I would prefer a supply house within 1 or 2 days shipping of me.
Any one have a supply house that treats their customers well and keeps their warehouse supplied ?
Thanks
Too bad they're not accommodating up there. The gang at Keyston in Ft. Lauderdale is a great bunch. If you like the products/prices, you can buy them all online from this site:

I have no clue what their relationship is to Keyston, but I find their prices match Keyston's wholesale - at least for me (I'm a low-volume buyer so maybe your prices are better).
For other supplies, try atrim.com and/or yourautotrim.com.
Oh, I do boats. Never did a car yet, so you may find other auto upholstery suppliers are much better than those two. For higher end synthetic fabrics try Gulf Fabrics in Tampa (Ultraleather, Ultrasuede, Alcantara, etc). Don't know squat about Detroit fabrics for restoration work.

Silly me... I totally forgot that Miami Corp is an auto trim supplier. I use their marine products, but I think they actually carry more auto products than marine. See www.miamicorp.com.
I second miamicorp. Their online catalog is quite extensive. Don't pay attention to the prices online till after you set up an account. They will change to wholesale after you log on.
I second that, I have used miamicorp for a couple years now, love 'em!
I use Manart-Hirsh

Great guys and fast shipping. Office in NY is closest to you.
Everyone knows how I feel about MiamiMike and Miami Corp.
They rock it out and I consider them the best in the business. :)
