Don't Pay the Trim Tax

What's the Trim Tax?

Automakers bundle the features you want with a dozen you don't, then charge thousands to move up a trim. Often the smarter play is the lower trim plus the three things you actually care about, done right.

Often, but not always. So every recommendation ends in one of three verdicts.

DO IT AFTERMARKET Leather, heated and ventilated seats, most accessories. Same look and feel, thousands less.
PAY THE TRIM TAX Bigger engine, factory driver-assist tech, or a lease. Sometimes the package is worth it, and we'll say so.
SKIP IT Some upgrades just aren't worth your money, factory or aftermarket. Save it.

Meet the shop

We brought the SEMA Cup home to McKees Rocks.

That's Ray and his wife Jennifer with the cup. The trophy's nice, but the point is this: the same hands that build show interiors will do your work truck. You'll deal with Ray directly, from the first photo you send to the day you drive away.

Classic Soft Trim has been building interiors since 1969. More than 55 years later, it's still hands-on work, done right here in McKees Rocks.
