In 1953, John Fehring opened an automobile upholstery shop in Baytown, Texas in a 2400 sq. ft. building on West Main Street. John's son, Ronnie, grew up around the business learning auto upholstery from his father. As times changed, Ronnie became interested in more than just the interiors of cars and trucks. He convinced his father to let him expand the business.....as long as he invested his own money. Ronnie started expanding the business first with custom van accessories and it went from there.
In 1981, Ronnie bought John's Trim Shop from his father. For 12 years he continued growing the business in the original small building. Along with the growth came the need for expansion.
In 1993 Ronnie moved John's Trim Shop from the building they had been in, to a new, spacious 6000 sq. ft. building on North Main. The business flourished in its new location, so much so that expansion was needed and several additions to the new building began. John's Trim Shop now has a total of 12,000 sq. ft. to serve the needs of its customers and they are expanding again in 2014.
As customers’ needs have changed, so has John's Trim Shop. While interior upholstery is still done, a full line of auto & truck accessories has been added, golf cart parts, as well as an industrial department and a booth for Xtreme Sprayed-on bed liners.
From work, sport & custom trucks, vans, mini trucks, semis & cars, John's Trim Shop has everything you want & need and has a full service installation shop and stands behind everything sold & installed.
John's Trim Shop continues to be a family business as Brenda, Ronnie's eldest daughter joined the business as office manager in 2003. Sixty years and still counting
John’s Trim Shop is located at 4722 N. Main Street in Baytown, TX and can be reached at 281-422-4286.
