About Us
Welcome to Taco Trim Shop, a family-owned upholstery business proudly serving Southern Illinois for 65 years.
​
Founded in 1960 by Roger "Taco" Loss, our shop has been a trusted name in auto, marine, and commercial upholstery for generations. What started as a one-man operation has grown into a community staple known for craftsmanship, quality and care. From convertible tops and headliners to custom boat cushions, motorcycle seats, and commercial seating- if it's got fabric and foam, we can bring it back to life.
​
Now under the ownership of Taco's daughter, Brittny Edwards, and her husband Daniel, Taco Trim continues to honor its roots while embracing the future. With a commitment to excellent customer service and expert workmanship, we treat every project as if it were our own.
​
Whether you're restoring a classic, updating your vehicle, or repairing worn seating, we're here to help you ride in comfort and style.
​
Let our family take care of yours-one stitch at a time.
Roger "Taco" Loss - Founder (Retired)
​
Though officially retired and living in Florida with his wife Susanne, Taco still visits
to share his wisdom (and a few jokes). His Legacy and standards continue to guide the shop today.
​
This year, as Taco Trim Shop celebrates 65 years in business, we proudly honor our founder, Roger "Taco" Loss, whose vision, hard work, and dedication laid the foundation for everything we are today. What began as a one-man operation with a simple dream has grown into a trusted name in upholstery across Southern Illinois.
​
Taco's commitment to quality craftsmanship, honesty, and community has left a lasting legacy - not only in every stitch but in every customer relationship built along the way. Though officially retired, his impact continues to guide us every day. We celebrate this milestone in his honor and thank him for paving the way for future generations.
