Stopped in to see if I could get a snap button replaced. Didn't even get the guys name before he took the jacket, inspected it, and thought about replacing the button. He then simply fixed my button, tested the snap a bunch of times, handed it back to me and said "all good now". FREE OF CHARGE. Quality service at amazing value. I would definitely come back for any alterations or repair work I might need. This guy is good at what he does and it shows. read more

Manny's great! He tailored my Barong last minute and it was prepared with the utmost care. Thank you!

Manny did a great job in altering my wife's long coat! Took him about a week to do, and very impressed with his skills!

Manny is amazing at what he does ! Its my first time taking my clothes here and i really like the quality of his work, he is very nice and helpful. He is amazing guy! :) read more

I had a suit jacket that needed a few alterations - the sleeves were too long and the back had a bulge at the neck. My usual tailor in Fremont was on vacation, so I did a Yelp search and found Milpitas Alteration Center. There were a few annoyances, but it wasn't an absolutely horrible experience - hence the 3 stars. The first annoyance was the day I dropped off the jacket - they open at 9am, and I showed up at 9:45am to a locked door and a "we'll be back" sign. I waited and the owner showed up, I showed him the fit, he quoted a price and said it would be done the following Tuesday. The second annoyance was when I came back to pick up the jacket on Tuesday - the bulge in the neck was reduced but still very prevalent. He marked it up and said he could get it done by the end of the day. The third annoyance was when I came back to pick up the jacket the second time, a couple days later. They open at 9am, and I showed up at 9:30am to a locked door and a "we'll be back" sign again! This time I couldn't wait around, so I came back later in the day. The fourth annoyance was that the beck bulge was fixed, but it wasn't a clean fix - there were wrinkles due to the stitching/fixing job. He said they would come out when ironed, but they didn't. Luckily it wasn't too noticeable on the day I had to wear the suit. So basically, the job was just "okay" but I probably won't come back unless there are no other options. read more

After 7 years of dealing with long sleeves and pants, I got fed up with folding/pinning everything that I have decided to invest in getting my current clothes hemmed rather than buy new ones in hopes that they'll fit. Manny does an excellent job with clean stitches (check pictures for references). Not sure why everyone thinks he's unfriendly - he's just doing his job and is a "to the point" kind of guy, which is fine by me because I'm not much for small talk for services. For 3 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of dress pants from NYC, and a blazer that needed to be hemmed / sleeves shortened... he only charged my $40. Not bad given the quality, and way cheaper compared to other places like Purple Tie where they charge $14-$20 for a hem. I didn't even ask to keep the original hem on my 7 For All Mankind... but look at the hem! It's so clean and hardly looks like it's been hemmed. Even the backside stitch is clean compared to Purple Tie. Very small business, but the guy running the show does good work! read more

Exelent service, Very friendly staff, very attentive and fair price's on all the alterations

This place is great!! They got my two pants hemmed in less than a week and the prices are SO good! It is currently only open until 3pm everyday even though Yelp says it is open until 5pm on some days! Make sure to check this place out if you need your pants hemmed or any other article of clothing altered! read more

Prices (may vary): $6/hem $10/taper $14/taper with selvedge Manny has been my go-to for alterations. He's a pretty quiet guy but he means well. I original came to hem my raw denim and after seeing the quick return (usually 3-4 days) and quality service, it's been a revolving door of me handing him more and more clothes to get fitted. His place does get hectic during weekends and afternoons so I recommend going before lunch during the week if possible. Also a plus is he takes credit card above $12 transactions!! read more

I had a dress taken in at the waist which could be risky business but it fits PERFECTLY and is exactly how I wanted it!

I flew in from Hawaii early in the week but I was so caught up with work that I didn't have time to get my suit and tuxedo altered. I was in a serious need of an alteration job because my conference was on the following day. I needed a rush job so I searched for the first alteration place to open in the morning and Milpitas Alteration Center popped up. Manny was very understanding of my situation and literally saved the trip for me, much thanks to Manny. Obviously, there was a rush charge but that's besides that point. It was reasonably priced, Manny was very quick and did a fantastic job. read more

I been here twice over the past 6 years. Each and every time I have been here, the owner has been very patient, respectful, and professional. His rates are very competitive and his work is high quality compared to other tailors in the Bay Area. read more

Business owner was rude and rejected me after coming down for a really quick fix I called before approaching , he said he will take a look at the dress before promising me to do something. Shop was small and cluttered I would not go this place for women's alternations as I found only 1 male person incharge and shop was full of mens wear. read more

Kuya Manny is sooooo awesome. I've taken a few things to get altered over the last few years, and he always does a wonderful job. We first used him when my brother lost weight and needed to get his barongs fitted (traditional dress shirt from the Philippines made from a very sensitive fabric). He got all three of them fitted and back to us within a week! Fast forward a few years and hubby bought a suit from Macys. Of course we weren't getting it altered there--alterations cost almost as much as the damn suit! Kuya Manny to the rescue again, suit was back and looking wonderful within a week... price was less than $30? I can't remember anymore, I just remember it was HELLA cheaper than everywhere else. And the lines were clean. Kuya Manny is now our go-to guy for anything. He's done my MIL's mother of the groom dress, he's done hubs' other slacks (including making the fit slimmer... and I cannot tell where he cut it--its that clean!). Excellent service, lighning fast alterations, and great prices to boot. LOVE it. #Yelp100Challenge read more

Milpitas Alteration Center - Storefront - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

After finding out about this place online through a Reddit thread a couple years ago, I've since been coming to Manny for essentially all of my alteration needs. He's done alterations on a wide array of fabrics for me, ranging from raw denim and scrubs to suit jackets and dress shirts. Compared to other tailors I've been to, he has a pretty standard turnaround on items brought in. There have been times though where I've needed something sooner and he was able to accommodate for the date I needed it by (not sure if there was an extra charge, but great that's he's able to do this for customers). There was also a time where the fabric tore on the taper of one of my dress shirts after my shirt got snagged & I brought it in a couple days later and he fixed it within minutes, no extra charge. If you are pretty particular with certain items, make sure you are clear and concise with your concerns and Manny will make sure that the adjustments will be done to your liking! Overall, Manny does a consistently great job for a fair price and I'll continue to support his shop for all the great work he's done! read more

My pants from a pricey suit needed a slight adjustment, and I was extremely EXTREMELY nervous handing them over to someone for an alteration. After reading reviews from about 15 different alteration businesses on yelp and google, I decided to walk in here and see what's up. Manny took my measurements and we chatted for a few minutes. I felt comfortable handing over my pants to him and he said it would take about a week. Well, I came in today to pick them up. I tried them on in the shop, checked myself out in the mirror, and said "Jean Claude Van Damme I look good!!!" Seriously... I was so amazed at how crisp my pants looked after Manny's work. I'm definitely coming back here whenever I need work done on my clothes. Thanks Manny!!! read more

Mr. Manny Managbanag of Milpitas Alteration Center is kind and professional. I have been having clothes altered by him for a few years now. Even though he runs the shop by himself, his timing is fairly fast and his handywork is beyond reproach. He has a very keen eye, and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. I'd trust him with anything I own, he's that amazing. read more

The tack button on my brand new favorite black jeans came off and I needed a new one and some sewing on the large hole it left. The new tack button doesn't look like it's going anywhere. It seems way stronger than the original. I gave 4 stars only because I didn't receive a call when they were done and ended up just walking in, but I'm super happy with the result and will definitely go back! read more

Super fast, super clean job. Had a nice jacket with a ruined zipper and I got it back good as new

$8 to hem denim jeans $15 to readjust a dress $6-8 to alter a pair of trousers Even though he basically never says a word (except for when he asks what day you want to pick your clothes up), he gets the job DONE. read more

My family has gone to milpitas alternation for years and we have never had any bad experiences. In Milpitas, this is the best Alteration shop! The price is right, the service is timely, and my clothes always come out fabulous! We have gotten pants hemmed, made skinny, I have had him take sleeves off a dress, dry clean clothes, fix clothes with rips and tears. Every time, I was a happy customer! read more

I don't know what Andrea was talking about, BUT I've been here dozens of times, and the owner (the tailor-man) has always been nice to me...He always given me a great price. He altered ALL of my bridesmaid dresses, and he's done a PHENOMENAL job at it (and I've been a bridesmaid a number of times)...He's very quick...If you need it, you won't have to wait a week...He'll get it to you either that same day or the next day. And he's VERY CHEAP. I have taken dresses to other places, and he charges waaaaay cheaper than other places. I have recommended this place to EVERYONE I know, and THEY ARE ALL VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE AND QUALITY. read more

I am SO glad I found this place. I originally searched for places close to my work & I found this place. A small alteration place. I took in 4 pairs of jeans & he told me I could pick them up the next day. He only charged me $6 per pair. $6!!!! I will definitely take all my jeans here from now on. =) read more

Great little place! Dropped off my pants Tuesday, picked them up Saturday. The stitching matched my pants color very well.

MANNY ROCKS!! I have been coming here for years and will only trust Manny with my alterations. Not really sure what everyone is talking about with the "he is not friendly comments"?!! I think most people are just used to a$$ kissing customer service these days, which is not his style. Manny is super nice and has a GREAT sense of humor; he is just a little more on the quiet side at first. The man is a hustler and is always busy, but NEVER lets me down. He has even done same day alterations for me which is asking a lot from a busy solo business owner. He is hands down the most reasonably priced tailor and is good at what he does. Manny makes my clothes feel and look better for a good price. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent service with reasonable prices. I went here to get my uniform pants hemmed and also had them repair a couple pair of pants that I ripped at the crotch. Also, I had a cigarette burn on the back of my jacket. I thought they did a very decent job. read more

Went here because i needed to get my raw denim tapered from the inseam instead of the outseam to keep the selvedge line. went in, asked for a taper and proceeded to use his tape measure to where i wanted to taper from. cost about $12-14 for the taper. and when i got it back, the fit was exactly how i wanted. will be my go-to tailor for all my tapering needs. note: bring your own tape measure, the one i used at home and the one manny had was about a .2 difference. read more

The guy, Manny, who works there is freaking awesome! I needed some last-minute alterations done on 3 pairs of suit pants in a day and a half. This dude got it done for me at a reasonable price. Not only that, he made it to where I look as sexy as possible. Real talk. This is the guy I'm going to from now on. read more

Had 2 dressed altered here. I had them hemmed and the straps taken in. He did a horrible job. I was sad my mom recommended him to me. He asked for 35 on each dress. I didn't want him to fix the mess he made and now I have to spend more to have it altered correctly elsewhere. read more

Manny delivered my hemmed pants as promised and at the quoted price. I would come back for more alterations

I had a couple of bathing suit that needed to be taken in. After I got turned down by 3 other alteration around the area, I found Manny who finally agreed to do it. Thank you Manny! read more

My wife and I have come here several times to have clothing altered and repaired. Manny does a good job at a fair price. The first couple of time I went there I thought Manny was either in a bad mood or didn't like Caucasians or something (since everyone I had seen in there besides me was Filipino) and so I hesitated to go back. Now that I've been there a few more times I think it's just that he's very busy and doesn't have a lot of time for small talk. But a smile here and there wouldn't hurt either. ;-) Bottom line though is that he does good work at a fair price. read more

Manny was awesome! Fast service and great price. Will be bringing all my alteration needs to Manny. 5 stars!

Great work! Fast timing with completing your request by a certain time and day! Would highly recommend and use them again in the future!

Friendly and fast service. Best prices locally. Definitely recommend and use again.

Manny is a very nice person and very professional. The way he pinned the dresses is very careful. You can trust him on his skill and work. One thing I do have to remind customers. Hemming dresses and skirts are more expensive, about 20 dollars or more at least. read more

Excellent service, I brought in tons of clothes to have adjustments and alterations. The guy had me try on my items and roughly pinned according to the size of my liking... A week after I go to pick up my items and they are pressed after alterations which is a big PLUS... Also the cost is quite reasonable for the items... if there are multiple clothing needing work, they help you on the price.. can't beat that, this is my regular place now! read more

I wanted to give a five star review for Manny. He was so helpful to my son to sew his buttons on his coat. This was part of his uniform and a coat that my son treasures and treats with great dignity and respect when he volunteers at the prayers house everyday. When I spoke to Manny and explained to him, he was so caring and said that he will help my son and he will do it nicely for him. He did such a great job and in great time. Our son was so happy!!! Manny, thank you so much. Along with the other great reviews we have read about you, we join them too:). We will always contact you again whenever a need arises for any alteration with our clothes. read more

I got my sweatshirt patched, and all I can is 'definitely worth your money.' Although at first it he may seem like an unfriendly guy, Manny is definitely down-to-earth who will cater to your needs. The price he offered me to patch my sweater was 1/3 the price I originally thought, although I had to run to an ATM because a 12$ minimum is required for credit. The patch was flawless; it was as if there was no hole at all. So if you want quick, fast, and great service, this is the place to go. read more
