I went to get a dress altered and paid a significant amount. I picked up the dress and noticed it was shortened by cutting and left a raw hem where the dress was fraying. I called to voice my concern, and he blamed me and was very dismissive. I will never go back. I tried to select 0 stars, but it's not possible. read more

They destroyed my thousand dollar drapes by shrinking them while cleaning (not sure how it's possible if they dry cleaned them). They charged me $80 and refused to give me back my money. Do not trust the reviews and do not bring anything you value. read more

Brooklyn Valet - Shrunken curtains - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I brought in 3 white shirts for cleaning and they all came back with stains. The said they couldn't get them out. They offered to redo only 1 of the 3 shirts. On return, it still came back stained. I think it was coffee. I was curious, so I took it home and was able to shift it with some Laundress stain remover and oxy clean. At $9 a pop, I think I could have saved a bit, but at least now I don't have to throw it out! read more

I was disappointed with the results of their dry cleaning. My suit shrunk a bit. I validated this by comparing it to an identical suit which fit correctly. I will not be bringing my suits here anymore. They do have decent alterations, and they fixed rips in my running pants well. read more

After nearly a decade with this business the wonderful owner/manager left and they now have a new very poor level of service. A tailor who is unqualified and does a shabby job and then charges ridiculous prices and a management that is not interested in being a part of this community and treating long term customers in a polite and courteous manner. Go to green apple or others in the area. read more

Great friendly customer service and reliability. Have been using them for laundering shirts and drycleaning for years with spotless record.

Brought a pair of pants to lengthen (take down hem) and a skirt to repair. Both seems to be done well, no complaints there but cost $20, $25, ($45 total) which seemed expensive to me for straightforward alterations. read more

I want to like Brooklyn Valet because there aren't other great cleaners or tailors in the neighborhood--I've been going to them for years. But they've messed up my items twice now. The first time was some time back when they ruined a dress I was getting tailored by cutting the bottom uneven and too short. The second and most recent time was when I took one of my favorite wool sweaters to get dry cleaned. Not only did they not remove the 2 light stains, they made it a lot worse. And when I went to pick up the sweater, they tried to pass it off to me like the stains weren't there. read more

The zipper pull on my favorite running shorts fell off, so I first took it to an alterations place close to my apartment, who said that it could not be fixed and they would have to take the shorts apart. Then, I took it to Brooklyn Valet who effortlessly fixed the zipper situation by reattaching the pull and adding a new zipper stop! PLUS the customer service is out of this world! I really appreciate their can-do attitude!!! A great experience from beginning to end. read more

I've taken everything here from dry cleaning, to leather cleaning, and most recently, had a zipper replaced on my long, Michael Kors down jacket. After several positive experiences, I'm sorry to say that this one was pretty poor. I will start by saying that they did a great job replacing the zipper. What bothered me was the service...and the stealing...more on that later. When I dropped the coat off on a Saturday, they said the tailor was at lunch, and that he would call me with a quote on the jacket later that day; no call. I had to call the next day, at which point they still couldn't give me a quote, and said they'd call me back again. They did call back within a few hours, and told me the coat would be ready on Thursday. I went to pick it up the following Friday morning. They said it wasn't ready, and that they would call me Saturday. (All these promised calls!) Needless to say, they never did call. So I finally went over Saturday afternoon to check myself, and the coat was in fact, finally ready. (So ok, some poor communication, but good work on the coat itself.) BUT HERE'S THE KICKER: I totally forgot I had left 5 $1 bills in the pocket of the coat when I dropped it off. They weren't dry cleaning it, mind you, just fixing the zipper. When I took it out of the plastic and reached into the pocket, the bills were gone. I could forgive everything else; I get it, they're busy. But a business STEALING literally right out of my pocket? Leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if I'll be giving them my business anymore. read more

Solid go-to dry cleaning and basic tailoring spot. The bar is set pretty low in this neighborhood for decent laundry services, but after more than a year of use I'm confident these guys are the best option. I use to be a 5 min walk but I've recently moved to downtown BK and am still using them, I'd rather make the hike than gamble with anyone new! read more

Wow, I can't believe there's only 1 review for this place. They rock. They remember you. And they do an awesome job. If you drop off in the a.m., you can get your clothes back the same day. And they do "green" dry cleaning. So, your clothes last longer and don't fade as much, in my opinion (and it's better for the environment). Today when I went in to pick up my stuff, there was a guy in there with his young son that came by just to say hi, and that he missed Brooklyn Valet ever since he moved to Soho. Seriously? Who comes by to see their old dry cleaner unless they have been absolutely fabulous? I have also taken my clothes to the place a couple of doors down, and while the quality is the same, it's probably 4x more expensive. Brooklyn Valet is the obvious choice. Won't go anywhere else in the slope. Love! read more

A bit more expensive then the guys who send it out, but worth it. Always clean and professional. I started going to them after they fixed a broken seam in my pants suit. It looked as if there had never been a problem after they fixed it. They also did some hemming on my pants - some with cuffs or lining - they did them all perfectly. I recommend this place for any alterations or dry cleaning. And it's hard to find a good tailor! read more

Best dry cleaners in Park Slope. Carlos is a delight and always remembers his customers by name. I've been going there for over a decade and they do a great job. Expensive, but to me it's worth it. read more

Carlos is very helpful. This place knows how to take care of their customers' items. This place has become my favorite dry cleaners. Same day dry cleaning for $2 extra per item. Bring in your items before 10am. read more

I can't say enough about Carlos and Brooklyn valet. They do a great job of taking care of customers and Carlos always greets me by name. I've always been satisfied by the work and pricing seems fair. I've never had anything fancy cleaned here, just suits, dresses, shirts etc. so can only speak to that. Items are always ready when they say they will be. Recommended. read more

After a negative experience* at Green Apple Cleaners a few doors down, I switched to Brooklyn Valet. I wish I had been going to Brooklyn Valet all along. Let's see, Brooklyn Valet is cheaper (considerably so in my mind). For example, using my most recent bills, Brooklyn Valet $3.90 cheaper than Green Apple by $3.90 for a suit, $1.50 for a skirt, and $1.60 for a jacket. I also prefer Brooklyn Valet's hours because they're open at 7am on the weekdays. Because they have same day service (Green Apple does not), I can drop my dry cleaning off before work and pick it up when I get home. They are not open on Sundays, hence the four stars. * The employees have always been friendly, but the actual dry cleaning was unacceptable considering the price. One lapel of my suit jacket was correctly pressed, the other was sticking straight out. I asked to have a refund because to fix it they have to send it all the way to Jersey and the truck doesn't come on the weekends (well, "sometimes" it comes on Saturdays). I only have enough suits to make it one week (translation: I needed the suit done right the first time), but I agreed to let them fix it as that was my only option. They never told me when it would be done, but, based on past experiences, I'm assuming Wednesday (I brought it in on Sunday). Maybe you view my experience as a one-off event, but I provide it here as a data point for someone trying to decide between the two cleaners. read more

I went to Brooklyn Valet last minute to get a bridesmaid dress altered. They turned it around quickly and did a fantastic job - the dress fit beautifully and was steamed nicely when I picked it up. Would definitely try them again for alterations and dry cleaning. read more

Beware. Brooklyn Valet on 7th between Union & Berkeley ruined a Tory Burch Sweater and won't claim responsibility. I asked for the sweater to be replaced. The owner, Mr. Im said I could take him to court to get a new sweater. This was all after giving Brooklyn Valet time to try to fix the buttons and a week's worth of correspondence with Tory Burch to get replacement buttons (of course not my responsibility but trying to make it fair and cost effective), which they were unable to provide. This situation makes me sad since we've been loyal customers for 10 years. Needless to say we will be going some where new from now on. read more

They are courteous and professional and I trust them with my dry cleaning and tailoring. But when it came to my most important dress, they couldn't clean it. They said they don't do spot cleaning, which was very disappointing. Green Apple Cleaners spot cleaned my dress to perfection. read more

I wish I could say good things but they completely mishandled a botched tailoring job. In taking up two straps of a dress, the seams became completely misaligned and the dress unwearable. When I returned, asking for the tailoring charge back as well as a small sum to cover a fix by a better tailor, they said no, insisting that they are not marketing themselves as high end tailors and shouldn't have known the rest of the dress was going to be affected. Just a silly way to handle the situation. Cannot speak for the dry cleaning, but beware the tailoring at all costs. read more

Do not send your garments for alteration here. I've sent an expensive blazer for sleeves shortening. And I couldn't believe how sloppy the work was when I got it back. The tailor redid it again and it was as poor as the first one. He kept repeating"I think it's ok. It's inside." That is unacceptable to say for anyone who gets paid by their crafts. Now I have to find another place to redo the work. It's a triple waste of my time. To be fair, people are nice here in general. I've done dry cleaning here and it was ok. But if your clothes is ruined and they still insist in charging you full, I won't consider the politeness any help. read more

I've dropped off a number of pieces to be dry cleaned, and though you could pay less elsewhere, what you get here is quality and professional service -- really, the best there is around. They're magic workers at getting stains out (even the ones that have set in for a few days), and everything is always returned neatly and in a reasonable turnaround time. I've always been greeted by a friendly smile and addressed by name. I've also used the tailor for simple pants hemming, and have no complaints. read more

They destroyed my vintage suede cardigan and a gorgeous antique rug I wish they took more pride in their work. Incompetent and Apathetic staff and service read more

Brooklyn Valet is the best launderer I have every had the pleasure of using. Since moving from the neighborhood I have been unable to find anyone nearly as reliable. Now I drive the three miles into Park Slope, every Saturday. Highly recommended. read more

Always happy with the items I get cleaned here - pressed nicely, stains removed better than most. Not a shirt or dress shrunken so far!

Great customer service.. I needed a two layered dress hemmed and they gave me a three day turn around time

Agree with others that these guys are super-friendly, helpful and reliable. My opinion still stands on the pricing though. Found another green cleaner in Greenpoint, dresses $9. (Dress price is my barometer.) Since I'm over that way often enough, I just go there. But if I were in a jam, Brooklyn Valet it would be. read more

Another bad review about tailoring. DO NOT go here. I asked for black cotton pants to be shortened 1" and I asked clerk to specifically write on slip NOT to cut the remainder OFF but to just turn it further under. THey cut the 1" off anyway--Clerk said she couldnt do it that way. Clerk should have called me to get my permission but didnt. Tailor didnt bother to read or ask....I refused to pay...I am a regular cleaning customer & they are OK..but will never do tailoring again for sure. read more

Incredible service and turnaround! My pants zipper broke while I was at work. Since I live over an hour away, it was impossible for me to get back home. The tailor, Felix, took me right away and I was able to return to work within the hour with a new zipper. Would highly recommend. Thank you for accommodating me so quick! read more

Friendly front desk people. Carlos has been greeting me and taking care of my stuff. I never had any issues. My facility uses those guys for a long time. They pay attention to details and do not take a job they cannot handle. Highly recommend. read more

Prices are decent (not amazing, but you'll get your money's worth and never get stiffed). The professionalism and smiling staff are the best; provincially (in the best sense of the word) gregarious and friendly. Plus, they do truly quality work and it's always ready on time. read more

These are some of the friendliest and most professional people I have come across in a while ... and they do great work in both cleaning and alterations. Highly recommended! read more

Exceptional old school customer service with a smile. Very high quality work. I recently left over $100 in a pocket. I completely forgot about it and would have never remembered that I had left money in there. When I came to pick up my clothes, Carlos informed me of my mistake and handed me the wad of cash. Of course I gave him a little something, but I appreciated the honesty. read more

Horrible for alterations, fine for dry cleaning. I had a dress that needed an inch off. Upon return the dress was an inch shorter on one side, and two inches shorter on the other. Total diagonal cut across the front. The dress was $90 from Lulu's and I paid $40 to get it destroyed. Won't be coming here again. read more

Great quality cleaning and tailoring. Priced much better than other local cleaners. Highly recommend!

Carlos is the best! He always greets you by your name even after you havent been there for a century. My clothes gets back clean and crisp. No issues whatso ever just great service from carlos and mark read more

The people are fairly friendly and the cleaning itself is perfectly adequate (shirt pressing leaves some unfortunate wrinkles at times but I've never found anyone where that wasn't the case). However, I found them highly unreliable. Pickups and deliveries were often missed. After promising that they could come after 5, they continued to come between 4 and 5 when no one was home. The final straw was after missing a pickup, they delivered everything except the shirts. They said the shirt cleaners "system failed". I asked if the shirts could be delivered the next day and they said, "I'm sorry we don't deliver on that day". I'm trying Carroll Cleaners now. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews, but please beware. I wanted to love this place -- everyone is very polite and helpful. Then they returned a beautiful sweater with a bunch of gaping holes, clearly the result of being snagged by metal hangers. This would be a bummer anyway, but what really ruined it was that they were completely unapologetic and claimed not to have done it. So disappointing. read more

Brooklyn Valet is a great value. And has great customer service. I moved away for 3 years and when I came back they recognized me!
