I feel more than a little mislead by their website, which indicated fast, cheap alterations. I went in for a basic, rudimentary, 5 minute hem job on a very simple cotton dress this morning and they wanted $24, if wanted it over a week. For each day sooner that I needed the job done, the price went WAY up. I left with my dress in hand. Don't let their name fool you. read more

This place was an absolute lifesaver!!! I had a wedding to attend and low and behold my zipper broke an hour before the wedding!! I came here and they fixed it within minutes!!! Excellent service!! I highly recommend them!! read more

This place was recommended by a friend so i took my pants and a dress to be shortened. they did a great job and i was able to pick them up in 3 days. will definitely be coming back there to get clothes altered. read more

Fantastic customer service with a smile! I was able to just walk in and they were able to do my repair as I waited. I would give them 10 stars is I could. Definitely take your business here. read more

I went in to have a set of inexpensive drapes sewn together - an easy task but I don't have a sewing machine myself so I thought I'd just bring them in. They charged WAY more than I have paid in the past for a quick job like that. ($40 for 2 seams sewn - really??) Not to mention the manager was difficult to deal with both on the drop-off and pickup. I felt very uncomfortable as a female and seems that he wants to have a little power trip with you each time. The shop is small and messy, and everything seems very unprofessional. I will NOT be back. read more

I don't mean to deter anyone from going to this place, as I believe they will get the job done, but I personally had a terrible experience. I was treated poorly walking through the door, with an expensive suit that was meant to be tailored for a wedding. I was barked orders, with a lackluster greeting, only to find that they would have to "add material" to my suit in order to complete the job. The very next place I called could complete the order without having to do any of that, and were much more polite. As soon as I refused their service, their demeanor immediately became more cordial, as they had lost out on the expensive expedited service I requested. This is not to say this place does not do their job, but in the sense of working with expensive material in a short amount of time, I was not in any way, shape, or form impressed by their business. read more

First of all, pricing is ridiculous! Just the pants (wedding suit) & Paid $70+ for waist, hem, & thighs. Second, quality of tailoring was mediocre and even left un-stitched section by left leg. Third, didn't even press/iron them, gave them back wrinkled (worse than when dropped off). Lastly, very unprofessional service and rude. I should have gone somewhere else. Not recommended unless you desire to spend $$$$. read more

I had used this place twice and the price was doubled the second time for the same thing I had done the first time and the alteration were okay ~ I would expect better work for what I had paid ~ so I found medina alterations and she is awesome and the price was way cheaper and alterations great! read more

My husband buys most of his suits in Los Angeles and has them altered at a nearby place while we shop in the vicinity. They are modestly priced and did a good job. But after a couple of times wearing the suits, he noticed that the pant seems were coming undone. We searched for places here in town and found this place. The name caught our attention so we decided to give it a try. My husband now will not go anywhere else! They have done a great job on fixing the pants that came undo! He has also brought brand new pants to be altered and they have turned out great. My husband compared the stitching from this place to the previous place and noticed the differences. This is now the only place he trusts with his suit pants and jackets. And they are very well priced. The name says it! "Almost free!" Just don't be take aback by the mess you see when you first walk in. Yeah, it could be tidied up a bit - clothes and fabric remnants everywhere, needle pillows all over the place, spools of string and such - but your clothes always look great! read more

Almost free alterations is very expensive. I received a quote of $7.50 to hem my pants over the phone, however, they failed to mention they would charge $25 to hem the same day & $7.50 if I leave them there 5 days. Wow! read more

This place has very poor service/quality, and no customer loyalty. They took 7.50$ of my money with a poor job to show for it. The owner is just a "game player" whom wants to argue his preference above the customer. That is why I spent money and got a poor job. Please don't waste your time and money with this place. read more

I wouldn't even give this place one star. But yelp makes me. I took pants to get hemmed, Just barley, and I wanted them the same day, he charged in excess of 60$! That is an outrageous price. It was only 30$ if I wanted to wait for 2 WEEKS! Even if I could've waited 2-3 days it was still same price it only went down to 30$ for 2 week wait. That is just ridiculous. He tried to take advantage of me cause needed to get it done fast. Which is not right. I will never take my business to him again. Needless to say I did NOT get my pants hemmed there. I later found a place for my husband's suit and she did an amazing job, received the suit fixed same day for an amazing price. I don't know exactly what it's called but it is behind the big shoe on Chester. I saw another review on here saying they went to that place as well which is awesome. Almost free alterations lost my business for good. And I take alot of my husband's suits to get fixed not to mention my own. Use caution going to this place. Ask around at other places before settling on almost free alterations outrageous prices. read more

I would suggest anyone going here use extreme caution. The prices are reasonable if you have two weeks to wait for the work to be done but I needed some pants hemmed same day and he wanted $59.00 to do it. NO WAY will I support a business that tries to take advantage of those in a time crunch. I went to another place I found on google behind the shoe on Chester who hemmed my pants for $12.00 as I waited. She did a great job! read more

I took a garment there and was charged $80 to have it altered (I thought it was too much, especially because of the business name). He made recommendations on how the garment should fit and I agreed with him. The day I came to pick up the garment, it was botched and didn't "wear" like how he said it should. He didn't even own it when I asked him why it didn't wear like he described. All he did was take the left over fabric and attempted to fix it to my liking. The revised hem line looks horrible and the work is unsatisfactory. I should have demanded for half of my money back. I don't recommend "A(n) Almost Free Alterations" for their price and poor workmanship. I expected more for the money. read more

In the last few years I've had 7 pairs of pants hemmed here. The first 5 came out great. They were the exact length and the hems were straight. The last 2 pairs were too short and one leg was even shorter and the hems weren't straight. These pants were brand new and I can't even wear them. He could obviously see that the alterations weren't right, as I tried them as I have all the others. The least this place could have done was refund the alteration fees. He refused, kicked me out and told me never to come back, which I won't. read more

I called to get a quote for replacing a zipper on EMT coveralls.$39 He was very helpful in finding the type of zipper I would need(the number on the underneath of the zipper pull) . However when I told him I needed it the next day he quoted me $99! I found two other tailor shops that both quoted me $32 next day! I don't feel he stays true to his name A ALMOST FREE ALTERATIONS ! read more

I've taken my casual, formal and work clothes here and the work is always superb. Clarence and Lawrence have always been friendly and accommodating. The prices aren't almost free but I guess the name always puts them at the top of a list alphabetically. The prices are reasonable especially if you plan ahead and can wait 5-7 days. Sometimes they finish sooner and will call you to pick it up. Their hours for business is open later than most which has gotten me out of a bind a few times. If you need it the same or next day, expect to pay big for that service but I find all businesses do that. As for the appearance of the shop, its a working business that gets the job done. I've always gone in and they help me quickly and I'm out of there to enjoy some Chinese food next door. If still apprehensive about using them, then just bring in one piece of casual clothing and have them do a hem or take in. If you like it, bring in a few more until you can earn their trust and confidence. If not, then go elsewhere. Simple as that. read more

I took a few items of clothing in to get altered, the guy that there was pretty funny. I was really happy with the work that was done, very professional. I would definitely go back again. read more

Great tailor! Good price, delivered days ahead of when I had been told to originally expect, and the work is superb. Very courteous owner and staff. I recommend Almost Free Alterations wholeheartedly! read more
