Has anyone heard about them? They supposedly manufacture and install leather seats for dealerships.

Try searching... there's at least one long thread.

I had my seats covered by them and am very happy with the outcome. But there have apparently been some issues with Apache reported by others.

The original thread is here https://my350z.com/forum/socal-marke...installed.html

But I recall there were others as well, with some complaints about the owner not responding to calls, etc.

Went through them as well...

People complain because Apache doesn't really have a business/ retail operational front. They cater more to dealerships as oppose to single client interaction. (This was a few years ago though.)

The only way I was able to do a smooth transaction with them was through a liason : bhashaZ.

Things may have changed on the business front with them, but their work has always been great as far as fit and finish goes for aftermarket leather.

^ I'm not sure, but don't consider them. Their customer service sucks. After they get your $$, they just completely ignore you.

Yeah they had an option for Alcantara...same price as the leather.

I drove up from San Diego and they said the covers would be done by the time I got there. I figured, a couple hours waiting around no big deal. They never started until I got there. One of the workers told me their perforating machine broke down so the manager was cool enough to give me a discount.

The leather quality worksmanship is great, but communication and getting everything else was not trouble-free. Make sure you're very clear on what you want, if you decide to go through them.

^ Deal with them at your own risk. Lol don't tell me I didn't warn you.

PM Frank@metronissan. He has some hookups to other leather upholsters.
