Default hole in leather

I have a hole in the leather in the passenger seat of my RX300, how would I fix this?

The dealer will have someone that comes and takes care of this on their used cars or new cars if they get any damage. I would call to see who they use and what day the person is there and show up asking the person to fix/repair. I would guess $50 depending on how bad the hole is. Riggs Brothers is another possibility but they may only offer a full replacement and not fix. Never used them for leather repair.

Update:

I contacted Ed @ Woodfield Lexus and he said that it would cost $150 to do it and I contacted another 3rd party (that I researched online and does a great job) and it was $225.

I'm probably going to take it to WL.

Yup, they generally call this guy:

So see if he can get you a better price. He also takes care of bad car smells. He came out to our meet at some point... he seemed decent and will come out to your house to do the work.

Yes, Ed said he'll hook me up with a loaner car but how old do I have to be able to have one? I'm 18 and my whole family has been going there for more than 10 years.

I am sure you have to be 21, insurance reasons.

depending on where you live, he may be able to come to your house and do it there. I have used Casey for many years when i worked at the dealer.
