The son of a tailor, Remon Oudeh has fabric, sewing and pattern making in his genes. From the moment Remon completed his first French seam in a piece of automotive seating fabric, he knew he had found his calling. He refined his craft and broadened his skills as he worked his way from the upholstery area of a local bump shop to a number of metro Detroit automotive trim and upholstery shops and a leading Tier I automotive seating supplier.
Over the years, Remon’s expertise and talents have earned him a place as a team member on a number of special projects, such as the design and installation of the interiors of two vehicles in the collection of comedian and car enthusiast, Jay Leno. Working independently with Leno and global automotive seating supplier, Lear Corporation, at Leno's Big Dog Garage in Burbank, California, Remon helped design and develop custom interior components for Leno’s "Tank Car" and 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado.
Teaming up with with Classic 9 Leather Shop in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Remon helped produce a new line of leather replacement instrument panels, dashboards and interior panels for various Porsche models, including Porsche's flagship 8-cylinder 928. Other achievements include assisting in the design of the convertible top for BMW’s popular Z Series roadster.

Remon started Top Notch Upholstery & Trim in 1987 out of his workshop in Livonia, Michigan. He has assembled a professional team—including Buzz, Scotty and Kevin that embodies a blend of unique talents, from custom sewing and upholstery skills to fabricating, clay modeling and fine and commercial art.
Working together for many years has resulted in a team that functions efficiently, quickly and intuitively to deliver projects that meet customers’ expectations. It probably helps that Remon and his staff are avid golfers who enjoy teeing off whenever the opportunity presents itself.

I wanted to Thank You again for the beautiful work you did recovering our chair. I would never have thought that old chair would tun out looking so wonderful and brand new. It's obvious that you take pride in your work and I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know. Thanks again for such and excellent job!
Top Notch made my boat look new! I was so tired of the sun-bleached and cracked seats on my boat. Having the guys at Top Notch replace seats and trick out my cabin was the best of ideas. My boating friends envy the look of my boat now. Great job, highly recomend.
I have seen firsthand the prototype and design work that Top Notch has done with various manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and OEMS. They are the best at getting systems down so the custom design can turn into a production solution.
All of their staff have many years in the auto trim industry and can offer creative solutions and sound advice on any project. Very creative and easy to work with.
