this spot is hard to find and hard to find parking for. It's in a little tucked away storefront but once you're there, you've found a tailor for life! Mr Garcia is so talented, so nice and so fast! First time I came in, needed pants hemmed for a wedding. He further done overnight. Second time, I needed an heirloom coat tailored. He made me look like a movie star in this thing. I have gone several times for pant hems, coat sleeves and even my wife's dresses have all been expertly and wonderfully worked on here. Most recently my mom needed a dress altered for a wedding out of town. She had like 36 hrs before her plane left and Mr Garcia had the dress ready overnight and looking absolutely amazing. Whatever you need to fix, from your finest garments to your jeans, this is the place to go. Period. Amazing work. Amazing speed and always fairly priced. read more

Super fast! No issues with alterations! Very professional! Would recommend! The place is located behind a green building that has a sign that reads Printing. There is a double door gate on the left where you will find the shop! read more

Found this place bc it was close by the house and the reviews felt sincere. I had a traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai (long dress) that was too tight. I bought it off of Etsy at an amazing deal. I saved money regardless even with the alteration. Before getting it done at Garcia's Alterations, I asked around and some of these places were charging ridiculous prices. Some places just refused bc upsizing required more fabric/ design work. Mr. Rodolfo suggested taking some fabric at the bottom of the dress and I thought it was a genius idea. Instead of avoiding the problem, he gave me a SOLUTION. Luckily I visited a month in advance bc he was very busy. His work came out beautifully done and the dress fit like a glove on our special day. Thank you so much again for your expertise and help! read more

Garcias Alterations - Upsized traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai (long dress). - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best ever Mr Rodolfo! I was in a pickle with my WEDDING dress so last minute, I had lost more weight than anticipated and the fit wasn't cute anymore lol not only did he accept a rush order but my dress looked better than then ever after he tailored it.. gorgeous fit and very reasonable rates. Really appreciate this sweet man, me & my new hubby are forever loyal & grateful..all the stars! read more

great, fast service at a reasonanle affordable price. i got muliple items fitted, from jackets, shirts , to pants.

Quick, reasonably priced AND local! Can't beat that! He had my alterations done in a week!

Wowwww. This guy is the best. I didn't actually get work done by him but will definitely go to him next time I need something. I brought in a skirt for him to put a hook on so that the zipper would stop falling down when I wear it (yep I am a victim to the COVID fifteen weight gain). He ended up showing me that I need to put the zipper down and that locks it into place. Dang. He just taught me something new and it blew my mind bc I have had this issue a few times before too and always got a hook for it. He's honest and kind! It's kinda confusing to find but take a look at my pictures. The entrance is on Alhambra. Find street parking around first. Not too hard to find parking but it's not plentiful. He understands and speaks very little English but between his broken English and my broken Spanish it's fine. read more

Love love yelp as I would never find Garcias alternations if it weren't for these reviews. I needed some of my dresses to be altered and have been looking for a reasonable tailor. Rodolfo, the owner was super nice and did a great job is fixing all my dresses. I loved that he refused to alter one as it would have spoiled the look of the dress. He is very reasonable and does a great job. I will be back whenever I need any alterations. read more

Always the best! I come here even with baseball stuff. I had a team patch sewn into a stadium chair, I had baseball holes repaired when they ripped due to sliding., lastly when my son's elbow guard starts to rip he fixes it right up!! He's the best!! read more

My alterations for my shorts were professionally done. I would highly recommend this place if you need alterations.

Mr. Garcia is a great tailor. His prices are so reasonable. He's very accomadating as far as deadlines in case you need something ready for a special trip or event. I've taken many designer dresses, pants, blouses and he has the midas touch my Trina Turk items don't even appear to have been altered. He is a nice hidden secret in our neighborhood ;-) PS his little shop is located behind G&R printing, which is also a great small business. read more

Garcias Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love this place. Great and speedy service at a reasonable price. Top tier craftsmanship too

I had such a great experience at this place! The man who runs it really knows his stuff. I got a bridesmaid dress altered in the bust, which was a pretty tricky alteration, and he did a fantastic job! It was $40 which was cheaper than any other place I looked at and I think he was much more skilled. Great value! Highly recommend! read more

Been going there for at least five years. Rodolfo is amazing fast and very reasonable. He has even perfectly tailored a dress for my wife that was a rush job for a movie premiere. One of El Sereno's hidden gems! read more

I have been coming here for a couple years now and all I can say is that Rodolfo is a solid owner who does fantastic alterations at an unbeatable price. I have had several suits, suit pants, and blazers tailored here for half of what I would have had to pay elsewhere. Plus, the quality of tailoring is just as good as any fancy shop, as I have never had a complaint. On top of that, Rodolfo is very flexible with when he can get a job done. One time, I needed a quick turnaround and got to his shop at 9am...and was told to pick up the tailored jacket at 6pm the same day. The blazer was perfectly tailored and he didn't even ask for extra. An old adage goes "Price, speed, quality - pick two." Well, with Garcia's alterations, you're fortunate enough to get all three. Side note: Cash or check only, limited parking (I'd recommend street parking), and last time I went (about 1 week ago) a sign said that the shop was closed from late October til around 11/19/2018 read more

Would go back, very nice older man, took some patches to be sewn and pants for hemming, he did a great job and reasonably priced!

This man is kind, always fair and always working! Pandemic or not he was here helping me fix my busted seams and loose buttons. Highly recommend supporting this local biz read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon, just before Labor day weekend. I had to have some sewing done and this was by far the most affordable place I could find. One guy working there, I'm assuming he's the owner. Super nice and simple guy, I showed him what I needed and he gave me such a short turn around time. Everything came out amazing, I highly recommend him!! read more

Prices are amazing called and he waited for me right before closing and shop is perfect. He is located on the left side of the G&R printing building in the small alley way. Such great service. read more

Garcia is a very kind and hardworking man and does great work for very cheap. He is my go-to tailor and I have my mom drive from Torrance to him because he has such a great turn-around, friendly demeanor, and unbeatable prices. read more

Wow What great job he did altering my jacket. He was so reasonable I even left a tip. Highly recommend Mr Garcia.

Cash only. Nice hard working owner that is always busy because he is affordable and skilled at what he does. Cost me $6 for jean alterations while fashion cleaners will charge you $20 +. It's not a fancy location at all but if you want something done right and cheap Mr.Garcia is a good bet. His English is not great so be prepared to practice your Spanish. You can't easily see it from the street since it is located along the side of a printing business. Just pull in next to the building and then when you are done you can pull out and exit down the little alleyway. Save money and support a local amigo. read more

Surprised there's only a few reviews. I have been to a few others nearby and have never received the services and quickness that the owner Rodolfo gives. His rates are very low and based on what I pay at other places I just paid him more because he deserves it! Definitely my go to place from now on for my alteration needs. read more

Went to check it out today because my mom needed her dress adjusted. It's in the back of the printing store. Walked in a really nice older man greets you. I think he's Mr. Garcia. The bad only thing was he seems to charge $25 per alteration. My moms estimated cost was $50, which was a lot. Just wish it was cheaper. read more
