The job was so so.....but whatever, they're work boots. I didn't need them to look great, just have new soles and be strong. Within a month, the heels peeled off. I brought them back in, and he "kinda" fixed them. Not really. All I said to him was, "If I can pull this heel off with my hands, I want a refund for the repair" He said sure, go ahead, try. I pulled the heel off, and he started slamming his fists on the counter and screaming at me! With another customer in the store (sorry to the woman standing behind me who had to witness that) Don't waste your money- unless you want to overpay for a shoddy repair with no guarantees. And the worst customer service i've experienced in a long time-

I took it out of there and brought it to Cayouette's Leather Repair. He looked at all the straps that needed reinforcement and quoted me almost half of what the other place gave me. I was happy to get a good deal. A couple of days later I got a text saying my repair was completed. I came by to pick it up and we had to look for the bag. I was looking at the prices on the tag and we couldn't find it. So I looked for my phone number and there it was: more than half the price OFF of what he originally quoted me. Not only did he fix the broken strap but he reinforced ALL of them and charged me so much less than I ever expected. I left with tears of joy and gave him a $7 tip. What a great guy and nice person to do business with. I tell you, he was worth the trip. Now to find all my favorite shoes and keep him busy!!

I brought in two pairs of booties, one needing a rubber tap placed over the plastic heel that makes a reached when I walk. I asked the cost and was very satisfied (this used to cost $5 in the '80's when there were at least 3 cobblers - that's what we used to call "shoe repair" shops - within 3 blocks of my downtown Boston office. It id more expensive now, but a very fair price all these years later). My second pair was Dr Martens boots that I've worn down enough that they're dangerously slippery. After looking closely, the suggestion was to remove and replace the whole sole. That was expensive, about 1/2 the price of a new pair. So, we kept talking. and Ron suggested filing down the front of the sole slightly to create a bit more traction, and replacing only the back quarter at the heel, since that tread is fully worn away. That should be only about 1/3-1/2 the price - and it's a great compromise! Also, if that doesn't solve the problem we can still replace the rest of the bottom. This was a thoughtful resolution, and genuine customer service: let's address the problem in a cost effective way.

In the window of Suburban Cleaners, there is a mannequin with a "flashy" sport coat. When my husband showed interest in it , Bill added it to our rental suit and told us to have fun with it. My husband had more than fun. That jacket brought the house down . Bills service is unbelievable. We are thrilled and I highly recommend Suburban Cleaners in Wakefield RI. Thank you!

When I came back to pick it up, I was told, "That'll be $50." I was surprised and said, "That's a lot for a little string adjustment." The woman replied, "No, we shortened the length." They had clearly altered the wrong part of the dress. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she insisted that I had asked them to shorten it. Then she said maybe I had changed my mind, so that I didn't have to pay. Unbelievable! I was shocked. They ruined my dress and then blamed me for their error. I love supporting small businesses, but not ones that don't take responsibility or listen to their customers, and clearly don't know what they are doing.

When I went in and presented the items, the woman working there took one look at the dress and said "I'm so sorry, this looks really bad. Please come back later when the owner is here." My interaction with the owner is what led to the one star rating. As soon as I walked in she was very combative and said "it's one or two flowers, what's the big deal?" and repeatedly told me "I have no money, I have no business, what do you want me to do?" When I told her I thought she should at least refund me the money I paid for the initial services, she asked me to leave. Mistakes happen! And I was hesitant to write a bad review of a small business - it's difficult to succeed. But the owner's hostility and gaslighting about the dress really surprised me, and made me feel that I had to warn others to not use this business.

When I brought them back with brand new pair of the exact pants, owner said fabric was not the same. NOT TRUE. Owner tried to clean again but no improvement . She claims in her receipt that they are only responsible for clothes they damage . HELLO!!. Like a hole in a item . With that she hands me a receipt with all sorts of info on the back. Owner said insurance would not cover it and she would offer me $35 for the pants I paid $500. Needless to say I refused . So to anyone who values their clothes, I would suggest you look for a different cleaner. I KNOW I AM! NO STARS!!
