Question Car Seats

I just bought my lexus yesterday, and today I noticed that the seam on the passenger seat is coming undone. What can I do to get this fixed before the problem gets worse? Where should I take my car to get this done? The seats are leather. I appreciate any input. Thanks.

Did you get a new or pre-owned Lexus? If you get new one take it back to your dealer.

If your car is new, definitely take it in for warranty work. If it's used, and you're still within the factory 4 year 50k mile bumper to bumper...don't wait to take it in. If all else, you have no choice but to go to an upholstery shop to redo the stitching or even replace the skins.

It shounldn't cost you too much to get it done at upholstery shop. They could put aftermarket seat for the whole car in $800 bucks.
