Professional Heated Seat Installation | Kalamazoo, MI | Auto Trim Group
Professional Heated Seat Installation in Kalamazoo:
Upgrade Your Comfort
Living in West Michigan means accepting certain realities: scraping windshields in the dark, driving through lake-effect snow, and dreading that initial shock of sitting on a freezing cold car seat on a zero-degree morning.
While we can’t change the weather, Auto Trim Group can drastically change how comfortably you face it.
Forget waiting fifteen minutes for your engine to warm up and your dashboard vents to blow hot air. Heated seats provide immediate, direct warmth that cuts right through the winter chill. It is the ultimate comfort upgrade, and the best part is: you don't need to buy a new luxury vehicle to enjoy it.
We specialize in professional, factory-style heated seat installations for almost any car, truck, or SUV on the road today.
Luxury Comfort in the Vehicle You Already Own
Many people believe that if their vehicle didn’t come from the dealership with heated seats, they are out of luck. That is simply not true.
At Auto Trim Group, we use premium, automotive-grade heating elements designed to retrofit into existing seats. Whether you drive a brand-new work truck that came with basic cloth seats or a ten-year-old sedan that you plan to keep forever, we can upgrade your daily drive to first-class status.
How the Process Works: Invisible Installation
A common worry is that adding aftermarket heated seats will look messy, involve ugly seat covers, or leave wires dangling. When you choose Auto Trim Group, the opposite is true. Our goal is a 100% factory-installed look and feel.
Here is how our expert technicians perform the installation:
- Upholstery Removal: We carefully unhook and lift the existing leather or cloth upholstery from your seat cushions and seat backs.
- Element Placement: We install ultra-thin, high-quality carbon fiber heating pads directly onto the seat foam. These pads are designed to be undetectable when sitting on the seat.
- Re-Upholstery: We expertly stretch and re-secure your original factory upholstery back over the heating elements. Your seats will look exactly the same as they did when you brought the car in.
- Switch Integration: We install discreet, professional-looking control switches. We typically mount these on the side trim panel of the seat or on the center console, depending on your vehicle's layout, ensuring they look like original equipment.
- Wiring Safety: All wiring is routed neatly beneath the carpet and center console, out of sight, and properly fused into the vehicle's electrical system for safe, reliable operation.
Why Invest in Heated Seats?
- Instant Relief: Feel the warmth within seconds of starting your car, long before the cabin heater kicks in.
- Works on Any Material: Our systems work perfectly on both cloth and leather interior surfaces.
- Therapeutic Benefits: Gentle heat applied to the lower back can provide significant relief for back pain and stiffness during long commutes.
- Increased Resale Value:
- Heated seats are a highly desirable feature that can add value when it comes time to sell or trade in your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heated Seats
Q: Can you put heated seats in cloth seats, or only leather?
A: We can install them in both! The heating elements are safe for both cloth and leather materials and provide excellent warmth through either.
Q: Is it safe? Will it drain my battery?
A: Yes, it is extremely safe. We use high-quality automotive components with built-in safety shutoffs to prevent overheating. We wire the system so it only draws power when the vehicle's ignition is on, so you never have to worry about a dead battery.
Q: Do I have to do both front seats?
A: No. While most customers choose to do both the driver and passenger front seats, we can install a kit on just the driver's side if you prefer. In some larger SUVs and minivans, we can even install them in the second-row seats.
Q: How long does the installation take?
A: Most heated seat installations can be completed in a single day. You drop your car off in the morning, and you'll be driving home warm that evening.

The leather seat in my SUV was torn by my cellphone. I sent in a picture of the tear and I was given a quote via email. We set up a time and place for the repair. They were on time and the repair is absolutly perfect! I was shocked how well it matched. Highly recommend
