OVER $2,500 IN DAMAGES, ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, DEEPLY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!…read more If I were permitted to give zero stars, I would do so without hesitation. I brought eight valuable garments to GEM Dry Cleaners, including two custom three-piece suits with Italian fabric and buttons, a $500 long coat, and a $200 suede jacket. Every item was damaged. Buttons were loose, seams were torn, and most upsettingly, and without my consent, they ironed sticker labels directly into the fabric of every piece, leaving permanent, burn-like marks. I was never informed this would happen, nor given the option to use pins--a safer more standard method used by most reputable dry cleaners. When I questioned it, the owner, Bryan McNatt, claimed there were signs. The only one I found was hidden behind the counter, barely visible. Others were small printouts, covered by card readers and equipment. Even Bryan admitted the signs were hard to see, which makes it even more perplexing that nothing was said to me during drop-off. I contacted no one, yet Bryan called me personally at 8 a.m. from his cell phone (which I assume he retrieved from the customer system), yelled at and berated me, and offered a mere $36.45 partial refund for the damage of thousands of dollars worth of items. I did not accept the offer because of how inappropriate it was. I spoke calmly and expressed I wanted to handle this amicably, but he was immediately defensive, dismissive, offensive, and said I must be struggling financially to care about the damage. When I said I may have to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, he told me to do whatever I needed and banned me from returning. The staff were also rude. One employee was visibly wearing a court-issued ankle monitor while working. While everyone deserves employment and second chances, I believe this anecdote unfortunately gives insight into the deeper issue -- a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, respect across the board, and oversight at this business. The garments are permanently damaged, and nothing can undo that. This was one of the most frustrating, heartbreaking experiences I have ever had with a business. I trusted them with irreplaceable items, and they treated me and my concerns with absolute disregard. Please read through the many other similar reviews. I am far from the only one who has experienced destroyed clothing and mistreatment at this establishment. I am sure they will try to twist and make up some way to rebut this, so I have decided to include some of the photographs of the damaged garments and the obscured signage with this review so that others can see the truth for themselves. I sincerely hope this helps at least one other person avoid the same loss.

This place is awesome. Earlier this week, both my Samsung Washer and Dryer decided they wanted to…read moreact up. Dryer needed new heating element & we got that. Washer kept giving error in rinse cycle & now will not even start. We came here about 1100 AM on a Saturday. First of all, these speed Queen washers are the bomb. I saw people loading a whole baseball team worth of clothes & they just got swallowed right up. Dryers are huge too. No noise or broken machines when they are running. Now the price is high for this; starting at $7.50 for the washer & $3.25 for the dryer. I can't complain as I already spent $300 on a dryer, THIS WEEK. LOL. Attendant was cleaning the store the whole time & the Gator Ade Zero is a cheap as the water. Comfortable seats & clean restrooms. Even after I get my washer fixed, I'll probable be back. 5-stars

The 4 star still stands and i still agree their customer service was good. As stated before, the staff was very nice to me but Betty calling me was the cherry on top!

I used Tide Cleaners in Sarasota for years and had great experiences, which is why I continued…read moreusing Tide after moving to Brandon. Unfortunately, the Brandon location has been a complete disappointment. I brought in an investment piece I wear as a corporate trainer. The dress and matching belt are the same fabric and color and were cleaned together to maintain a consistent, rich black. Due to the Brandon location's boiler being down for several weeks, my items were transported to another location for cleaning. When they were returned, my matching belt was missing. I went back multiple times. They were unable to locate it. There was no resolution, no replacement, and no meaningful accountability. This is unacceptable, especially when customers are trusting you with high-quality, expensive clothing. The difference between the Sarasota and Brandon locations is stark. If you value your wardrobe, I would strongly recommend avoiding the Brandon Tide Cleaners and choosing a different location or a different cleaner altogether.

When I finally picked up the clothes later and asked if any consideration could be made after I was just told none was going to be given on my $36 bill, the owner, told me in a condescending tone, "Oh no sir, let me take care of that for you but do me a favor and never come back." He said this in front of other customers. I assured him I would never step foot in this business again.

Caveat: Mr. Nelson is only at the location from 7 am- unspecified time (they said he leaves "early"). I asked that Mr. Nelson contact me, since my work schedule does not permit me to drive to Kings Ave. at 7 am, during the week. He will not contact me. I was offered zero apologies, no mention of a refund (even for the $5.69 I payed to have them dry clean (ahem..ruin) the slacks. In fact, 2 different employees hung up on my, when I tried to call. One employee (Becky) told me that "they do not make mistakes" and "I do not have time for this." She even went so far as to say that I should take the pants back to the store that I bought them from because the company put the "dry clean only" label on an item that is not supposed to be dry cleaned and THAT is the reason they are damaged. Please do not patronize a business with such apparent lack of customer service, response, and quality.
