Dirt from the dry cleaners
Paul K.

DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Where do I start with my review (something I seldomly do unless the service was amazing or terrible in this instance it was the later!), as I am trying to figure out how this place is still in business and who actually gives them a rating that is more than 2 stars?! I have been going there for a year because they are 5 minutes from my house and I read the reviews which seemed legit, not true! I have tried to be fair and reasonable as I have given them multiple opportunities to address the issues I have shared with them over the last year. 1. I have had multiple articles of clothing ruined by them(picture attached of my white dress shirt which has black spots all over the back and sleeves as one of many examples and actually saw a review today from two weeks ago where another customer raised the same issues with her dress). This is one of many examples where they give me back my clothes with stains that weren't there when I dropped my clothes off which I can 100% assure you of as I have total OCD!! 2. The people they hire to work up front need listening lessons as they don't listen or hear one thing you say to them as I asked them 5 different times to saw buttons on my suite pants and every time I picked them up, you guessed it no buttons, despite me asking and the pants having a tag on them for buttons. This isn't isolated to these dress pants as it has happened to multiple suit jackets and dress shirts as well. When I point this out to the 3 different people that work upfront (guy with long hair, younger girl and girl with interesting make up) I get the exact same puzzled I have no idea what you're talking about aka I don't give a s....t apathetic look from each one of them. I can keep going, but I am sure if you are reading this you get the idea that unless you want your clothes ruined and receive terrible customer service there are plenty of better dry cleaners out there that won't ruin your clothes and at least pretend like they care when you are asking them something related to what they are being paid to do, like their jobs!! Avoid this place like the plague!!!!

Is the door half open, or half closed? Read their reviews to find out, Grasshopper.

I have been going to them for over 21 years, basically my entire Naval career. They have never disappointed.

She was kind and happy to answer any of my questions. I'm excited to have found a place that I can default to when I need any tailoring done. Thanks so much!

I brought two old short sleeve shirts in for very small repairs but the owner grimaced and remarked…read moreabout how horribly they were damaged. "How did this ever happen??!", noticing a buttonhole that needed a small amount of repair. She automatically took the shirts and hung them up on her to-do rack making it somewhat uncomfortable for me to say thanks, but no thanks. It was then I wanted to know how much the bill would be, and she replied $24. I then grabbed the shirts off of her rack and bid her a good day. I have seen this same tactic used at different types of repair shops where the owner overly dramatizes what needs to be done and takes possession of the item prior to discussing the charge or getting approval. In sales that's called the assumptive close, where they act as though they assume you will approve the work and pay their price for the very minimal effort required. Don't fall for it. I have just now received a response from the lady's husband indicating that I must have visited a different shop and mistakenly thought I was in theirs. Absolutely not possible as I've been in several times in the past. Perhaps showing the shirts will refresh her memory and also defend my own. For full disclosure, the green shirt does have a small half-inch rip on the back side.

I called ahead to ask if they offered same-day alterations because I had a last-minute family trip…read moreand was happy to pay an additional rush fee. I even mentioned that I expected to pay an extra $20-25 for expedited service. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I was quoted $55 just to take in the waist of one pair of jeans--the same price I paid for the jeans themselves. The explanation was that she was setting aside other work, but the jeans were made from inexpensive material and the alteration was relatively straightforward. I've had designer jeans tailored before, including pairs that cost several hundred dollars, and even with rush service I've typically paid around $15-25. What bothered me even more than the price was the customer service. The woman was rude, dismissive, and made me feel like I was inconveniencing her by simply asking for a service she had already agreed to discuss over the phone. If she didn't want to take on a same-day alteration, I would have completely understood if she had simply said no from the beginning. I was also there with my young daughter, and after we left she asked if we had to "see the evil witch again." While kids can be blunt, it reflected how uncomfortable the interaction felt. I have no issue paying for quality work or paying extra for rush service, but I do expect fair pricing and professional treatment. Based on my experience, I won't be returning and unfortunately can't recommend this business.

The first couple of times we used their fluff and fold service it was decent enough, other than getting a random extra pair of boxers that weren't mine and a couple of other peoples t-shirts... The last time we used them, they gave us back thrift store clothes and kept our actual clothes... John, the owner shared with me he had continued to employ a drug addict who has done this before. He was so sorry and embarrassed and wanted to know how to make it right for us... We agreed that we'd try to asses the value of what we lost and let John know. This was an amicable enough call. He seemed dejected and sad but expressed a desire to make it right. Fast forward two months now and John and his wife Kelly have patronized and attempted to pacify me multiple times with multiple excuses on why they weren't honoring John's own request to compensate us for our losses. Neither has even offered a refund. It's hard to tell fact from fiction, but it is clear their goal is to brush losing $750 worth of my wardrobe under the rug. I've waited over two months for compensation, and even offered a reduced settlement price as an olive branch to show I recognize running a business can be costly and difficult. The staff all seem to say the same things about John and Kelly, they are rude and short with people and try to undercut pay and etc. It shouldn't be a surprise that after the business makes a mistake they accept zero accountability and word for word today told me: "What are you going to do, sue us for $750? Go ahead!" Okay. ‍ Needless to say, I don't think people like them should be able to be in charge of other people's careers let alone run a business. Avoid at all costs.
