I have a brand new car and I just found a quarter sized cigarrette burn in my passenger side back seat. It looks so bad :( is there anything I can do to fix it? Other than getting my car re upholstered....

Hi,
If it's a brand new car or fairly new and hasn't spent a lot of time out in the sun so the upholstery is not sun bleached you can probably have an auto upholstery shop replace the affected panel in the seat cover for a reasonable price.
Really the only problem you might have had to worry about is on older cars the upholstery has been weathered if only by sunlight and has changed color from the factory original colors. Auto upholstery shops have access to factory replacement colors and should be able to match the seat panel up pretty easily and they should only have to replace that one panel and not re-do the whole seat. They can also repair or replace the padding if it was damaged by the cigarette.

go to an upholstery shop and ask. I had a seat repaired and it didn't take a whole lot.

that really depends what kind of interior you have. if its leather/vinyl they make patching kits. but they are kind of hard to get the right color match and they look ok, but not great... if its fabric i think your only option is to get it re-done. but my best advice would be to quit smoking... or at least quit smoking in your car :-p

that sucks... you can patch it up... find something that will match the seat... decorate the whole seat or yo can find seat covers that you like....
