I love companies that make efforts to minimize we humans' negative impact on the world... And this company does that, by repairing and rejuvenating and maintaining outdoor equipment and gear... And the owner, Jason, seems really concerned about doing good in the world... Which I really appreciate. Plus, Jason seems to be very knowledgeable about how best to preserve/repair/maintain gear, which avoids it being thrown out and replaced with expensive new purchases. read more

Daniel and Jason are mostly helpful in saving my Big Agnes tent zippers, I almost resigned to purchasing a new tent for this 10+ years 100+ days well-loved Copper Spur but they gave it a new life. Thank you so much. Daniel also replaced a Thule ski/snowboard bag strap that was pretty beaten up from weekly use in Sapporo subway a few years back. It's still going strong! Truckee is such a fantastic community because of shops like Daniel's. read more

This place is amazing! I've heard about it from my Tahoe friends but unfortunately don't live anywhere close to there. I arranged to have two pairs of snowboard pants, one ski jacket and a tent dropped off for cleaning/repair. One of the pants was so stained I almost didn't send it. They were able to clean all of the items, repaired a rip on my rain fly, and even mailed them back to me! I can't thank them enough! read more

I highly recommend anyone needing to get their gear cleaned check this place out. I had a nice Strafe puffy jacket and they made it like new and even removed some paint I had gotten on it. They are a pleasure to deal with. Way better to get your stuff cleaned/repaired then to buy something new. read more

These guys did a great job repairing damage and replacing zippers on some gear bags of mine at a very fair price. They gave great advice, including services that I would not benefit from that the y might offer. I really appreciate the honest approach to customer service I experienced here. read more

My old Marmot Pulsar rain pants had a lot of peeling seam tape. After contacting a few reputable repair services I settled on TEC because of prompt, personal communication, price, and reviews (though I treat the latter with a 'grain of salt'). They did not disappoint my expectations. The garment was cleaned, treated with DWR, old tape removed when necessary, and much re-taping done. Although I won't wear the pants backpacking until fall-winter cold rain and snow, I expect them to not be a sieve for water. Give Daniel and Andrea's business serious consideration. read more

Cannot recommend enough. This place cleans and repairs all kind of outdoor gear - don't throw it away, get it fixed! My partner's snowboard bag got a big tear on our flight to Tahoe and he needed it fixed to get home. They turned around the repair in a few hours while we ate lunch and shopped in Historic Truckee (for an extra $20). And they fixed every little tear in the bag, plus the broken handle! All he had asked for was the biggest one to be patched but instead he has a good-as-new bag! read more

A great place to get your down filled products cleaned. I sent them a 50+ year old North Face down sweater and it came back much revived and looking great. read more

My down jackets and sleeping bag that previously looked super beat up and worn now look brand new after taking them to TEC! They even removed the duct tape I had "fixed" holes with and repatched them super nicely! Thanks so much! read more

Amazing experience at Tech Cleaners. Andrea is super helpful and pleasant to work with. I didn't realize how dirty my down winter jacket was until getting it cleaned. I have had it about 5 years and it recently became apparent to me that i should get it professionally cleaned. Now It looks brand new and literally feels lighter and puffier! I was living in a fools paradise before finding Technical Cleaners. I brought 2 more coats in today, excited to get them back! read more

My husband and I sent our down sleeping bags to be cleaned and they did an incredible job! I swear, my sleeping bag has way more loft now than when I first bought it. It was a little pricey, but so worth it. I've tried to wash down sleeping bags in the past, and they never seem to end up getting clean, plus they take forever to dry. If your down gear needs a refresh, I highly recommend TEC. I had no issues mailing my bags from San Jose, CA, and they shipped them right back to us. read more

Hands down the best service in town! Daniel is incredibly friendly and knows his sh*t about technical equipment. My gear came back good as new!! I will be back time and time again. Thank you! read more

(Four stars, not updating?) Highly recommended for coat and outerwear cleaning. Recommended for technical equipment cleaning with some caveats. I brought in a very dirty Dana Designs pack, and while the cleaning on the outside was quite impressive, the inside left a lot to be desired. After several less than pleasant interactions both with the initial employee and then the owner (in reaction to my initial review) I brought the pack back in and the owner described why the urethane was shedding, apologized that not enough had been done to clean that and other parts of the interior, and took the bag back in with much better results the second time around. I can only recommend cleaning outside of outerwear if you're very specific with what needs to be cleaned AND the owner is there ar pickup so you don't get the same sarcastic and bordering rude reaction to my issues from the employee I dealt with. read more

This place is the real deal! Every year I bring in my gear for tear repairs and a wash + DWR treatment. Pricing is stupid fair and the owners are fun to chat with! A must for any die hard to enthusiast user of outdoor equipment. One summer they had a special for sleeping bags and bedding. A+++ read more

Absolute miracle workers!!! I had grease/transmission fluid leak onto my brand new Arcteryx jacket. I thought it was completely ruined. Beaver Creek resorts sent my jacket here and it was shipped to my home within a few weeks- looking as good as new! Truly incredible. I can't say enough good things. read more

Great Service!!! Came in thinking it was going to cost an arm and a leg to repair the busted seam in my snowboard pants. I was out the door in less than 4 minutes with a fixed pair of pants for $5. The owner was really nice and personable. They did an excellent job with the repair too. read more

I am so glad to have them here. I went to the coast and got poison oak all over my down jacket and sleeping bag. They fixed it affordably.

I had rip in my ski jacket patched, as well as cleaning and re-waterproofing. Courteous, personal service. Clothing ready when promised.

TEC is the BEST! I have two kids with bright colored ski wear and its always dirty (hot chocolate, dirt, grease, you name it). Every time I bring our items to TEC, they come back looking like new. If there is a tear, they fix it, if there is a broken zipper, that is fixed too. I will never take our items to anyplace else. THANK YOU!!! read more

This place is as good as it gets. Not only is the quality of both the cleaning and the repairs incredible, the customer service is truly 11/10 stellar. Every jacket I've had cleaned or patched here has come back in basically brand new condition, and the prices are more than fair. At this point, I legitimately don't trust anyone besides TEC to clean or fix my stuff, and hope this place keeps it up forever. Seriously, if you need gear cleaned, take it here!!! read more

These guys are the absolute best at what they do. Daniel had been working on outdoor equipment long enough to fix almost anything, and he always puts 110% into whatever he is working on. I've had multiple pants and jackets worked on/re-waterproofed at TEC and they always last longer than from new. If you have a piece of softgood technical equipment that needs some love, bring it to TEC. read more

TEC is excellent. Daniel treats everyone so nice. He really takes care of the patrol staff equipment, no matter how beat up and dirty our gear gets. read more

I bought consignment jacket for my 14 year old that seems to outgrow gear mid season and brought it to TEC. They are amazing. I live in Chico and will always bring my gear to Truckee for repair and clean. They just know about it all. Thanks for great service. read more

I have used Technical Cleaners on a regular basis over the last several years. Not only do they do a fantastic job on outwear but they also do an amazing job on down comforters and pillows. It has gotten to the point were we bring stuff up from our bay area home because we feel Daniel does such a terrific job. Top notch and very reasonable prices. read more

Based on (relentless) recommendations from several friends, we took our hard-worn puffy jackets, sleeping bags and down comforters to Daniel and Andrea for cleaning and repair. The results are fantastic! The jackets and sleeping bags are every bit as good as new and the comforters are even better lofted and warmer than ever. We've got plenty of other gear in need of their TLC! read more

I had been cleaning my 3 Marmot ski jackets at the end of each season at home with a detergent supposedly designed for synthetic sports fabrics, but some areas were just not cleaning up well. I decided this year to bring them in to Technical Equipment Cleaners. One was even bloody from a fall. I'm happy to say TEC successfully cleaned and treated all 3 jackets. I think it was a good investment considering the price of new equipment. If you want your favorite ski apparel to last, it looks like TEC is the place to go in the Tahoe area. I've also had them do a great job on my 3 season sleeping bag. Keep your eyes peeled for the strip mall on the south side of W River Street. read more

a quick added note.... we took our favorite North Face Tent to TEC for zipper repair. both entrance zippers were shot; the zips would not slide, the entrances were gaping holes. naturally, the tent was useless as it was and we considered buying a new tent, but this is a real favorite w/ more than a dozen years of camping history. TEC fixed the zippers to zip smoothly as if it were new again. saved us the cost of a new tent. we're very happy campers! cheers to Daniel and his folks at TEC read more

I took in my favorite puffy down red jacket that had not been cleaned in three years, they got out all of the dirt that had been ground in the collar and around the cuffs of the sleeves. My jacket looked brand new when I picked it up. The customer service was very genuine and the gentleman took his time with me, I did not feel rushed. I will most defiantly be seeing them again and recommending them to all of my friends! read more

Always take my ski clothes and down items here They are careful and clean them in the best way. No complaints. Have to bring your own hangers am a customer for five years read more

My favorite jacket is an older North Face extreme shell. It was so stained with food, coffee and sunscreen it became embarrassing to wear. I had tried to clean it myself with limited success. Of course they said no problem to clean and waterproof. When I picked it up I didn't recognize it as my own. Unbelievable that it came out so clean and almost looked new. The owners were very helpful and quite humorous. this year I'll have another jacket cleaned and also a couple of pants. Very reasonable pricing and turnaround. read more

1 down jacket and 3 pairs of 5+ yr old snowboard pants came out looking almost brand new. They were a mess. Thought I would have to toss them. Best money I have spent in a while not to mention top notch customer service. My first 5 star review too. Well don TEC. read more

I went there to get my sleeping bag cleaned and repaired. Instead, I was given the run-around of why my bag wasn't ready when promised. After weeks of waiting, and missing out on summer camping, I had to pay $65 to pick up a still dirty sleeping bag, with a shanty patch job. The owner is full of himself, and completely lacks people skills. I don't know what Marni is talking about. She must have talked to an employee and not the owner. read more

I want to recommend Technical Equipment Cleaners to anyone who needs difficult cleaning on outerwear. Like others, I've tried to clean my down jackets at home with a special detergent, but the results were, at best, disappointing. I sent a down jacket and a vest to Technical Equipment Cleaners and they came out as good as new! I should also point out that I live in San Francisco, so I mailed 3 jackets to them in Truckee and they Fed Ex'd them back to me. Speaking of the third jacket, I sent a Dale of Norway jacket to them that was really filthy. Dale of Norway sells tightly knit sweaters. Mine is pink and has white accents. Needless to say, the white accents were filthy and there were marks where I carried a knapsack. I had no idea how to even get this clean. I couldn't believe how good it looks now that TEC worked on it. I am so pleased that I will continue to use them from this point on. These folks are REALLY good and I can't recommend them enough! read more
