Agla USA does recovering for, I thik, about $150 a wheel. I believe they can send you a loaner wheel as well.
No affiliation, of course.

Does anyone have contact info for Alga? My leather wheel is starting to crack in one area and wondering about getting it refinished.

Also, anyone using a cover? Wheelskins has leather covers that look pretty good....

I'll second AGLA - I spoke with Alan last week about restoring a steering wheel and he seemed very knowledgeable and willing to answer all of my ridiculous questions.

Before you use AGLA, definitely peruse the various threads on Pelican. Some people have had good results, some people have been ignorantly pleased with bad results, and some people have had nightmares. Apparently, they farm out the actual labor to subcontractors whose skills vary widely.
