An interior is the part of a car or a boat its owner actually touches. In Miami it is also the part that fails first: sun cracks leather, salt and humidity attack foam and stitching, and a headliner that sagged in July looks worse by October. That is why an automotive and marine upholstery atelier sits in the same business group as a security company. Motenza Couture rebuilds the interiors; FSO Guard protects the atelier that holds the cars, escorts the ones that arrive on a trailer and drives or guards the people who own them. Below is who they are, what they make and how the two companies fit together.
Who is Motenza Couture
Motenza Couture (also written Motenza Auto Couture) is a small automotive and marine upholstery atelier at 5790 Rodman St, Office 5, Hollywood, FL 33023, a few minutes from FSO Guard’s own office and from the Royal Motors Club showroom. It is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM and serves owners across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and the rest of South Florida from the one workshop; there is no second location.
The work is done by hand with professional upholstery equipment: patterning, cutting, sewing and fitting Italian leather, Alcantara and marine-grade vinyl. Every project is an individual decision about seam design, contrast, and which surface belongs where in the cabin. Completed interiors and work in progress are documented on the atelier’s Instagram, and the projects page separates finished cars from design studies so you always know which is which.

Automotive upholstery: from a torn seat to a full bespoke interior
Most car work at Motenza falls into three groups, and the same standard applies whether the car is a daily-driven Honda or a Rolls-Royce.
Repair and restoration
Leather seat repair for cracked, torn or faded bolsters with color and grain matching; seat foam and bolster rebuilds so the seat holds you again; headliner repair and replacement in OEM fabric, Alcantara or leather, including sunroof and panoramic roofs; door panels, dashboards and consoles retrimmed rather than glued back.
Custom interiors
Full custom car interiors and complete color changes, diamond and two-tone stitching, perforated inserts, matching shift boots and armrests, steering wheels wrapped in leather or Alcantara with perforated grips and a center stripe, and fiber-optic starlight headliners built into a new roof lining rather than poked through the old one.
The brands that come up most often are the ones the group already rents, sells and guards: Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Range Rover and Porsche, alongside family SUVs, vans and trucks. The atelier’s interior ideas gallery shows color and material directions before a single hide is cut.
Marine upholstery for Miami and Fort Lauderdale boats

South Florida boats live outdoors in UV, salt and rain, which is why marine work is a separate craft with its own materials. Motenza rebuilds boat seats and cushions in marine-grade vinyl over closed-cell foam, makes helm seats and bolsters, patterns custom bow, cockpit and sun-pad cushions, repairs split seams and failed stitching, and fits yacht salon and cabin upholstery for owners who keep their vessels in Miami and Fort Lauderdale marinas. The marine upholstery section of their site lists each service and the materials they work with. If the pieces are removable they travel to the atelier; if not, the team discusses an inspection on board. Owners who already use FSO Guard for yacht security in Miami often meet Motenza this way: the same dock, the same vessel, a different trade.
How a project starts

- Send photographs. Overview shots of the cabin or cockpit, close-ups of the damage or the panels you want changed, the make, model and year of the car or the type and location of the boat, your preferred color and anything you want to keep. Motenza asks for this before you bring anything in, so the conversation begins with your actual project.
- Get a component list. The reply identifies the pieces involved, the material and finish, and what the estimate covers. The team explains that a large flat cushion and a sculpted dashboard can need very different work despite a similar surface area, and that two proposals should only be compared when they cover the same components and the same finish. Read their note on how pricing works before comparing quotes.
- Choose materials in person or remotely. Leather, Alcantara or marine vinyl, color, stitch pattern, piping and any embroidery are confirmed against physical samples, not screen colors.
- Inspection and confirmation. The final scope may need the car or the cushions in the atelier so the foam, frames and clips underneath can be checked; changes found there are agreed in writing before work continues.
- Fitting and handover. Pieces are fitted at the workshop and the car or the cushions are collected by appointment. For high-value cars, FSO Guard can drive the vehicle between the owner’s residence and the atelier or escort the trailer that carries it.
Where the atelier and FSO Guard meet
The overlap is practical rather than promotional: the same client, and often the same vehicle, passes through both companies.
- The atelier itself. A workshop that holds two or three exotic cars with their seats out is a target. FSO Guard provides overnight patrol, camera monitoring and key control in Hollywood, the same service we offer for car dealership security in Miami.
- Getting the car there and back. Owners who would rather not drive a Ferrari to a workshop and leave it can book chauffeured transportation with a trained protective driver, or have an FSO Guard VIP security detail meet the enclosed transporter at both ends.
- Work on the water. When a yacht’s salon is being fitted in a public marina, an officer at the dock keeps tools, materials and the open vessel secure; see yacht security and our Fort Lauderdale security services.
- The owners. Executives and families who put a bespoke interior into a conspicuous car sometimes add executive protection for specific trips, events or airport arrivals.
- The rest of the group. Clients who rent from the group’s luxury and exotic car rental fleet, buy from Royal Motors Club or fund a business through Motenza Capital meet Motenza Couture through the same people. Both companies are based in Hollywood, FL, inside the area our Hollywood security services cover daily.
Neither company passes your information to the other without your consent. If you ask, we introduce you by name and the decision to follow up is yours.
What Motenza Couture is not
It is not a high-volume trim shop with a price board on the wall; work is by appointment and every quote is written for the specific car or boat. It is not a detailing or upholstery cleaning service, although the group’s detailing team can be introduced. It does not advertise mobile repair or standard marina call-outs; on-site work is agreed case by case. Nothing on this page is a quote, a booking or a guarantee of a particular result: scope, materials, timing and price are set by Motenza Couture in writing after photographs and, where needed, an inspection. FSO Guard does not perform or quote upholstery work and never collects your vehicle documents; those conversations go to Motenza directly.
