"Over Thanksgiving, our 3-year old granddaughter decided to use our white leather sofa as a white board! She scribbled on a back cushion with a ballpoint pen. I was devastated but fortunately had a phone number in my file for a Mike Turner from when we bought the sofa sectional 13 years ago. Amazingly, I called the number and was connected to TLC. It was over the weekend but I got a response!! I texted him a picture and he said he would get back to me the following Monday. Fast forward-- I took the sofa cushion in that day, along with another sofa cushion for "color match". Today, Thursday, I picked it up and it is perfect. It looks brand new, like there was never a ballpoint pen near it. I can not rave and recommend Mike and Jonathon (who Mike said did the actual work) highly enough.
In addition to the great work they do, they are such nice people. And, although it was such a long drive for me (Carlsbad to Lakeside), the drive on 52 East was beautiful. The purple and green mountains were majestic with no surrounding buildings -- just open space. The sad situation of ballpoint pen scribbling on my sofa was offset by "God moments" -- beautiful scenery, nice people and a very positive outcome of their work."

"We were very impressed with the work that Mike and his team at TLC did on our beautiful leather sofa. His team was responsive, highly professional and a pleasure to work with. Also, their price was most reasonable. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring TOTAL LEATHER CARE for your leather needs. Below are the before and after pictures."

Incredible Service!
"I simply can't put into words how happy I am with the results that Mike at Total Leather Care was able to deliver. There should be 10 stars here if it were possible. (I'm not a bot and was not paid to write this review - I wanted to share genuine feedback and express my gratitude so TLC an get the recognition it deserves! Background: Back in May, I received this couch from my cousin in mint condition, and within 48 hours of having it, my husky decided it needed a personal touch (gross!). Even after blotting dry, the leather seemed to be forever marked with my pup's signature. As much as I love the pupper, I needed this stain lifted and the leather restored. After spending some time researching different restoration and repair service providers near La Mesa, I came across Total Leather Care and was impressed with their portfolio. Pricing: I know nobody really likes to talk about pricing, but believe me when I tell you that TLC has some of the most realistic and fair pricing for leather services in all of San Diego - and provide more quality services than those who charge more! I was able to get in contact with Mike, who responded right away very politely and professionally. Turnaround Time: Within a day of reaching out to Total Leather Care, I was able to drop off this couch cushion and by the end of the week (about 4 days from drop-off to pick-up), Mike had restored it to brand new - so new and polished that it made me want to get the rest of the couch restored as well. Summary: I can't thank Total Leather Care and Mike enough for being able to exceed my expectations, keep my wallet in-tact, and provide me with incredible service. If you're looking for quality you can count on, this is definitely who you want to reach out to. Thanks again for your help, Total Leather Care - Mike - You're awesome!"

"Great work by Mike and his team. Dropped off some badly worn 11 year old couch cushions which he finished in one day and came out in person the next day to do the rest of the job. I am annoyingly picky and he matched it just right for me. Very pleased with his work. Great value for extending the life of your furniture."
