    Alteration prices, comparable to other locations, certain alterations are less expensive here
    Dan T.

    AJ Cleaners and Alterations used to be Tho's Cleaners and Alterations and Tho is still there to do the alterations. They do a wonderful job on alterations and they even repaired car floor mats and can create almost anything - costumes, party dresses. However, Dry Cleaning is where they really do well. My all cotton dress shirts normally cost $150-$200 and have noticed that Dry Cleaning them vs. launder helps them last 2-3X longer. Here's what you'll find: A. Good customer service B. Attention to detail, will really try (even run a second cleaning) to clean stains or marks which you point out. They pre-scrub my collars and I've seen an improvement with older shirts. C. Care when pressing, buttons not destroyed or chipped and collars very even. If a button is loose, they will usually reinforce for free if you ask. They have upped the quality of dry cleaning since Tho owned the place herself, the partnership is a welcome addition. Definitely give them a try for dry cleaning, I have posted their current pricing. They are located on Bascom Avenue near Apricot Avenue.

    Moreover, the prices at AJ Alterations are very reasonable, especially considering Kathy does all of the work herself.

    I was referred to Holiday Cleaners by my friend Jackie, and I'm so glad I followed her…read morerecommendation -- I've been a loyal customer ever since. It's a family‑owned business, and no matter what time of day I stop by, Irene always greets me with a warm smile and a kind "How's your day going?" On some days, I'll also see her son David, the owner, working on customer orders. He's just as friendly and welcoming as his mom. They've taken excellent care of everything I've brought in: clergy vestments, Filipiniana and barong attire, Ao Dais, wool jackets, and other clothing. The turnaround is quick, and everything comes back beautifully pressed. I've also had alterations, hems, and even custom zipper work on bags done -- all completed to my standards. I haven't needed to bring in blankets or leather or suede jackets yet, but for nearly all my clothing needs, they're my go‑to. The text notification when my order is ready is an added bonus that I really appreciate. Thank you for consistently wonderful service and competitive pricing!

    We have been taking our cleaning to David & Irene & staff for many years. To give you an idea of…read morehow much we value them & their work, we drive all the way from Mountain View to San Jose inspite of the gas hikes, just to take advantage of their skill & expertise. They go over & above in their detail & care. David takes great pride in keeping up with the latest equipment to ensure he does a beautiful job on our garments. Recently, we took him a white sweater with Thai chili sauce all over the front. I told my husband that it would be impossible to get out but worth the try or throw it out. We picked it up & it was beautiful--like new! If you want quality, expert service and value, this is the place! Susan & Joel T.

One time dry clean was unable to remove the stain on my white jacket, they got my permission and clean it for me again for free, they recommended a different way of cleaning it, so I'll always go back to them now. They are reliable and highly recommended!

    I wish I could find the photos I'd taken back when my partner picked up our faux feather bed…read more(earlier this year) from NextGen, but alas, they're nowhere to be found. What I'd like to point out first, is that the super kind human who took our order was absolutely that: super kind. My partner and I felt good about our research and choice of NextGen, and the wire rack piled to the top with comforters, mattress pads and other bedding only furthered our confidence. Sadly, once we removed the bed from the bag, I felt confused that perhaps the wrong item had been picked up. It looked nearly identical to when we'd first brought it to NextGen, but with quite a few more strands of (different lengths) of hair stuck to it throughout. Secondly, almost every quilted square of the bed had faux filling bunched up in a variety of balls--I had originally purchased the square patterned bed to avoid this problem once cleaned. :( I wanted to bring my item back immediately, however, my health at the time did not allow it. I gave two stars for the kind atmosphere. P.s. I am attaching a very faded receipt, with the word, "wait" written at the top, because I felt it so important to write a review. Especially if it helps future costly mishaps occur.

    Came into Lux based on their reviews for pants tailoring. I was seen right away, and their staff…read morepinned the pants so quickly. For 2 pairs of pants, I paid $53. The turnaround was fast, 3-5 business days, and I received a text letting me know they were ready. The pants were well hemmed; I've tried other places that didn't finish the stitching nearly as cleanly. I would definitely come back for my next tailoring/hemming need!

    My daughter's wedding gown was FILTHLY. To be completely honest, I didn't think her dress would…read moreever get clean simply because the train was so black with dust and dirt. She didn't bustle it correctly and then took her very high heels off which caused the train to drag all night. She even had spray tan marks under the arms. The very next day, I brought the gown to Lux and assumed her $4,000 dress was ruined. The staff were AMAZING. From the moment I walked in, they welcomed me with a warm smile and confidence they could clean the dress. A little over 30 days after I dropped it off, I received a call that it was ready to be picked up. My stomach was in knots as I drove over to the shop. To my complete shock, the dress literally looked new again!! I couldn't believe it. Customer service is a 10, workmanship is a 10 and the cleanliness of this location is a 10! I HIGHLY recommend Lux for not only your daily dry cleaning but for all special occasion and formal gowns as well. I'm literally blown away at the incredible job this team did. It wasn't cheap by any means but 100% worth every penny.
