To keep this classic looking its best, we also added a brand-new stone chip guard for extra protection on the open road. 🌻🌞

Hi, I'm Steve
A lot of you will know me from working for Neil Sloan in Waipukurau.
What you probably don't know is I completed my motor trimming apprenticeship in 1985 with Len Shailer Ltd in Palmerston North and have worked for Paul Yerex in Rotorua & Beacham Jaguar in Havelock North. In 2003 on a whim I saw an advert for an exciting new opportunity to work for one of the most iconic and best names in the region. My family and I moved to Waipukurau to work with Neil at Sloans Saddlery. 20 years later, I almost consider myself to be a local.
Throughout my almost 40 years in the trade, I have mastered
- Motor Trimming
- Furniture Upholstery
- Shade sails
- Farm and Boat
- Squabs and Caravan fitting
Just to name a few.
Many thanks for all the support, from CHB locals and abroad. Make sure to check out my albums to see a full range of what I can do

Auto Upholstery
Yes I do boat covers, and all marine upholstery. From full motor trimming restorations to renewing/repairing farm vehicles. Seat restoration, headlinings, door panels, covertibles, campervans, floor mats etc, there is nothing in a vehicle I cant do.
