After several coupons in the Valpak mailer I decided to try the location, so I took some shirts and two pairs of beige pants.
Shirts were OK; collars and cuffs were cleaned as expected from a high volume shop. Nothing worth mentioning as a recommendation, just average. My pants however were the low point of my visit.
When I picked them up I noticed the hems had not been dry cleaned properly. I mentioned to the person helping me, who actually happened to be the manager. Looking to the problem area in question he judge it clean. I insisted that I wasn't happy with the dry clean, if there wasn't a specific spot; there was an overall darker dirt shade at the entire hem.
The manager told me that they were going to clean them again, to target the problem area, which is a standard and expected adjustment from any reputable dry cleaners shop.
Next week when I went to pick up my pants, the manager said that the owner did not agree with dry cleaning the pants again and I would have to take them home like that. I reminded the manager that he had already said that the pants were going to be redone. The manager insisted that they were clean -back to last week again- and he hinted at me being a perfectionist and probably having a dysfunctional life, to the point that I couldn't just live with my beige pants cleaned the way they did and just moving on......WHAT???
I couldn't believe my ears LOL! I reminded the manager in a very polite way, that we dry cleaners customers expect having our garments cleaned in a satisfactory manner. The customer is always right argument and the fact that when I first mentioned he had agreed to redo them did nothing for my pants. "I just work here" he apologized; the owner had made the call. I took my pants and left straight to a different shop.
What a lousy dry cleaning job, most of all I felt sorry for the manager, he had to go back on his word!
What is the manager's word good for? The owner could have said to the manager "OK listen body, we just opened and are trying to make a buck here, so no redone's, but since you already promised the customer that his pants were going to be redone, we'll do it this time"
Had that been the case I would have felt satisfied and would not be writing this!
Conclusion: If you are looking for a quality dry cleaners shop in the area, THIS IS NOT the place to go. Try at your own risk!
By the way, my pants were perfectly cleaned at the old location, farther but better.
