Update: my previous complaints had been addressed and this place continues to be my twice a week go to for a couple years running now! Still the cleanest, most convenient to park at, and best laundromat that I'm willing to drive half an hour for!

See all

Huge points for being clean! But it was pretty small. Hard to access available machines during normal busy times like weekend afternoons.

The hours say they open at 6am. It is 645 and it is locked and closed. Wasted my morning. Aggravating!

Clean, good load prices, and several very large washers. I think two of them were a "six load" size!

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS - DISGUSTING SERVICE & DISCRIMINATION…read more I hired 4th Ave Cleaners for wash-and-fold laundry for both my business and personal clothing. Before starting, I spoke directly with the owner, Ms. Mason, who assured me everything would be handled professionally and delivered in white bags or clean, see-through bags. That is NOT what happened. When I met the delivery driver and casually mentioned that I am Jewish, his entire demeanor changed. The attitude was immediate, uncomfortable, and unmistakable. I have never experienced antisemitism in San Diego before this. Then came the delivery. My laundry arrived:    *   DIRTY    *   Stuffed into BLACK TRASH BAGS    *   4 items MISSING    *   1 shirt COMPLETELY DESTROYED Let me be very clear: This was not a mistake. This was negligence at best and discriminatory behavior at worst. I trusted this company with clothing that represents my livelihood. What I received instead was disrespect, property damage, and a situation that felt targeted and degrading. This business failed on every level:    *   Hygiene    *   Professionalism    *   Accountability    *   Basic human decency If you value your belongings, your time, or your dignity -- STAY AWAY. I am urging anyone who has had similar experiences with lost items, damaged clothing, or discriminatory treatment from this business to come forward. This may warrant a class action lawsuit, and I am actively encouraging others to join in holding this company accountable. San Diego deserves better than this. ZERO STARS. Use this business at your own risk.

I was researching the closest laundry establishment near me for a drop off service…read more I chose Swissh & Go and i could never be more happy. I walked in like a lost soul with my bag of clothes and Ms. Nayeli noticed me and asked me how she can help. What a display of outstanding customer service. She brought me back to the office to create a profile for me, she was very thorough with the process and made it easy , thank you Ms. Nayeli for the warm welcome It took roughly around 2.5 hours for me to get my pick up text , and i was then greeted by a Ms. Shiela or Sheena , my apologies it was a bit busy so i could not hear your name. But i too was warmly welcomed by her and if you are looking for a laundry establishment to get your laundry done, i highly recommend Swissh & Go I also wanted to thank the owner for showcasing his shadow box , i am a son of a veteran and wanted to thank the owner for his service to this country and his awesome laundry establishment.

Amazing Fluff & Fold Service!…read more Yesterday, I dropped off my laundry for their fluff & fold service and was blown away by how great everything turned out. The employee who helped me was so kind, attentive, and detailed -- she asked all of the right questions and handled my clothes with care. When I picked up my laundry, everything was perfectly folded, smelled super fresh, and was packaged so neatly, I even showed my friend (via FaceTime) because I was in absolute shock. You can tell they really take pride in what they do and care about their customers. If you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond with both quality and customer service, this is it. Highly recommend and am DEFINITELY coming back!

By far the best laundromat I've ever been to! I mean, maybe there's some swanky wine bar…read morelaundromats up in La Jolla, but I've never ventured that far to wash a few comforters. But most importantly, why is it called a "laundromat" instead of "laundrymat" anyway??? Dave runs a smooth ship, as this is one of the nicest and cleanest laundromats I have ever been to. They have your standard regular sized washers, but they also have giant 6 and 8 load machines that will have all of your blankets and comforters cleaned in a jiffy. So fresh and so clean clean. I was able to wash a large comforter, too big for a standard washer, along with another very large blanket and 3 standard "back of the couch" sized blankets in one of the 6 load washers for $9.25. Did I mention that they take cards? Although they do have a quarters machine (accepts $1s, $5s, and $10s), both the washers and dryers are one credit card swipe away from spinning their hearts out. It may not sound like much, but who wants to be stuck depositing 37 quarters to get that tumbler in motion. The dryers are seemingly new, very large, and quite fast. I was able to get all 5 items dryed in about 35 minutes while using two separate dryers. The dryers are run in short time increments, so it's no longer necessary to purchase a full 45 minute run when you only need a quick 20 minute dry. If you're pressed for time, take advantage of the fluff and fold laundry service that is $2lb for same day or $1.85lb for next day service. Conveniently, they also have laundry detergent for sale in case you forget your own. Dave, the owner, was really helpful with assisting me in determining the appropriately sized washer for my load, which was greatly appreciated. Not only did his doing so save me time, but it also saved me some cash. Thanks again Dave!

Our hotel didn't have laundry facilities on site and I found this lil neighborhood gem a half mile…read moreup the street, I came very early on a Sunday morning to do my laundry before heading back home. An attendant was on site and immediately directed me as to which washer to use that accepted credit cards. Seems to be located in a very decent neighborhood with local residents patronizing this mat, as it may be older but in good shape and unlike your typical hood rat mats where you feel unsafe.

*This review is for their wash & fold laundry service only.* I have never used the self laundry…read morethere. They do an excellent job on the wash & fold laundry. Our clothes always come back clean and folded perfectly. They are fast and fairly priced as well. This business is located in a small shopping center, so there is parking. Lastly, they are located in the same shopping center as a few other businesses, such as a nail place and 711 (as of November 2025 when this review was written).

I used to love this place-new owners re-did the place, it is clean, in a good location and…read morereasonably priced. however ownership/management changes have really started taking a toll. this week went to do a couple loads of laundry and when I went to put my quarters in I realized they jacked the prices up on washers and you got less time in the dryer for your quarter. smaller front load washers went up to $4.25 and the next size washers went up to like $6..25 (lets face it if you have thicker bath towels you can't fit them in the smaller washers. if you were taught to do separate loads-like whites, colors, towels, bedding and add blankets and a comforter which all will need the larger load washer (they also actually have two more larger sized washers which I didn't look at the cost of). so the 4 loads in a little larger washer and 2 I could use the smaller ones came to$33.50 (WASH ONLY!). (I also have a history of bad experiences with the smaller load washers NOT spinning well so clothes are still on the wetter side and need more drying. then the dryers are hit or miss on their heat and drying ability which also used to vary the amount of time you got per quarter (eg used to vary from 18 to 21 min for$0.75 NOW I noticed it was only giving 5-min per quarter. oh and don't think 3 quarters will get a load dry. I average a min of $1.00 per SMALL load to typically $1.50 to $2.00 per load to dry. the day I had the 6 loads I actually split 2 load up thinking they would dry faster so I had 8 dryers. started the all with $1.00 and all needed from 2 to 6 more quarters to dry. so drying this day came to $13.00. my total washing and drying for the day came to $46.50 for 6 loads and 3+ hours of my day. the original owners used to run happy hour price on washers from like 6 am to 4 pm or so for like $2.25 a wash-but that was discontinued upon different owners. pros of the place are its, clean, usually no problem of washer/dryer availability, ample folding space, do ofnerdrop off fluff and fold, good/safe location (7-11 there as well as food and other businesses in location, parking available, machines take coins or card payment, always staffed, generally pet friendly...HOWEVER like everything today in this greedy world the increased pricing overshadows everything. enough to beg my landlord to put a washer-dryer in my rental (which they have agreed to do!). looking forward to a little extra change staying in my pocket and all the extra time ill now have for me and my dogs!
