I have never dealt with such an unprofessional, disrespectful, rude business owner as I have Mark Arnold, the owner of Mark's Cleaners. I'd highly advise everyone to take your hard earned money elsewhere. He does not care about taking great care of your clothes you drop off in his business's care nor cares about his customers or what is right at all.
I took my wedding dress to the Airline location to get dry cleaned and when it was dropped off and received from his employee, Mary Jane, there was NO DAMAGES with my dress and ZERO documentation of any damages. A few days later I received a call that they wanted my approval to take off the rhinestone belt that is sewn on, in order to dry clean it. I was given two options: first, give them approval to take off the rhinestone belt but they would not be able to put it back on OR secondly, leave the rhinestone belt on and if it falls off during the dry cleaning process then I already gave them approval and that would be on me. Of course with these options I said not to do anything and I will pick it up to take it elsewhere. When I went to pick it up, my rhinestone belt was visibly damaged. They took no responsibility for it at all and claimed it was already broken. Mark told his employee to tell me to go to the other location on Ayers there the next morning, even after being told this he was not available when I called in advance. I was told he will give me a call when he returns and still no calls. I had to yet again try calling with and then just went over to leave a note for him to call me to discuss about the damages that was made on my wedding dress. When I finally received a phone call he was very unprofessional, extremely RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, and SWEARING at me. He wanted to blame me that it was already damaged even though he acknowledged there is no documentation of damages when it was received. He wanted to blame me when in truth his staff poorly handled my wedding dress. He went as far as to make a remark that I probably broke it before I brought it in because "your dress is so dirty it looks like you played football in it". Then why was this never documented or brought up ever?! The bottom of my dress had dirt from an outside wedding but it was in good condition and specifically my rhinestone belt was not damaged. Then after insulting me in every regard and swearing at me he goes on to try to demean me further as if I didn't understand him by saying "what do you for a living?!" How does my wedding dress getting dry cleaned have anything to do with what I do for a living?! He continued to spew ignorant comments and finishes by saying "go ahead and waste your time geting a quote on the damages because I'm just going to WASTE YOUR TIME some more because I'm the fukn owner and I'm NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT!" Then hangs up on me! WOW! I was shocked how a business owner can treat his customers like this!
I wrote a letter documenting what happened and giving him still an opportunity to make things right by just paying for the broken rhinestone belt that they damaged. Of course, nothing.
When I went to pick up my wedding dress the second time since I dropped it off from Airlines location to his Ayers location so he can see the damages it was SHARED WITH ME that I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER he has done this to and TREATED WITH SUCH UNPROFESSIONALISM, DISRESPECT AND have had him swearing he's the "fukn owner and not going to pay for sht!" That he's being brought to COURT for the exact same thing regarding ANOTHER DRESS that was DAMAGED under his business's care and he claimed no responsibility over. FOR THE PERSON WHO IS SEEKING JUSTICE AND BRINGING HIM TO COURT WITH THIS PLEASE CONTACT ME. HIS OWN EMPLOYEE HAS ADMITTED TO ME THE WAY HE TREATED YOU AND YOUR MOTHER. HIS OWN EMPLOYEE SAYs THE DRESS WAS NOT like that when she received your dress. Yet, Mark Arnold again refuses to take any responsibility for ruining and damaging people's clothing, dresses and just further insults, swears at, and yell at his customers!
Please save yourself the stress and go elsewhere.
