Maintaining Your Vehicle's Interior

After cleaning and protecting your vehicle's seats, consider purchasing high-quality, custom-fitted upholstery coverings to ensure that the interior is protected for years to come. And Chevy seat covers come in a variety of colors, patterns and fabrics, so you can choose the style and design that fits your personal taste-and your lifestyle.

Selecting Chevy Seat Covers for Your Vehicle
When your vehicle's seats are clean and dry, Chevy seat covers go a long way to complementing your automobile's interior. Velour, neoprene or fabric covers work well if you're concerned about sticking to your seats when it's hot, but vinyl and leatherette options are especially great if you have children or carpoolers who frequently spill. In addition, leatherette covers tend to lend a look of sophistication to even the oldest used vehicles.


Make sure that you choose Chevy seat covers that properly fit your seats. If the seat covers are too small, they may wear quickly or pop off from being overly stretched. If you choose a seat cover that is too large, however, grit can get underneath and cause further damage to existing upholstery. Choose your seat cover size based on the make, model and year of your vehicle. If you're unsure about which size or fabric option is best for your needs, though, it's best to contact a quality seat cover dealer for customized assistance.
