Allen Fortner has been in the automotive business all of his life. His Dad, Kennith Fortner, opened KF Motors in 1967 and stayed in business until his death in 2011. Allen and his wife, Michelle, ran the business for his Dad for several years as Kennith's health declined. Allen, Michelle, and their family still own and operate KF Motors along side Restitch Auto Upholstery.
While operating a used automobile dealership, Allen & Michelle realized the need for automotive interior repairs. They opened Restitch Auto Upholstery in 2015 to meet their own needs and hoped to get the business of other local dealerships that had been in business relations with KF Motors. They hired Vickie Stephens who had several years experience in automotive repairs.
Restitch Auto Upholstery grew faster than any of them anticipated. Today they service over 100+ local dealers in North Alabama and word of mouth spread to individuals in the community. They have grown to 8 employees and pride themselves in quality work, fast turn around, and great customer service.
