I took my uniform here and when I came to pick it up, they said it was picked up 2hours ago and didn't know who they gave it too or anything. I had to repeatedly ask questions and see what I can do about it because the worker was basically just trying to leave it at that. Thankfully the person came back the next day realizing it wasn't theirs and I was able to get my uniform back but that was no thanks to the workers. I truly believe if the customer never came back I would have never got my uniform since they couldn't even tell me who they gave it to. read more

I have gone to this Dependable Dry Cleaners for many years. Not anymore! About a month ago, I noticed a missing item on pickup. Honestly, I may have had missing items in the past, but this was my favorite shirt. It was a very expensive cashmere short sleeved polo. When I mentioned it to the person on staff, she looked up my drop off inventory and said that it wasn't on the list. This tells me that the guy who took my drop off, and was about my size, must have left off the list and taken it. The staff told me that her manager was on a work call and would reach out to me about it. They also told me to check and see if it was at my house. Immediately said that it is not. Time went by, so I called back. I was told that the manager would reach out to see how I wanted to be reimbursed, store credit or a check. Another week goes by no call. I've called 3 times and gotten the same response. No resolve, no one calls me back. In the end, all I wanted to do was for them to make a note that if it showed up somewhere that it was mine. It's obviously not showing up and the management has no intention of addressing the issue at all. Stay clear of this establishment. read more

I wasn't too happy with the customer service. When I brought my dress in last year, I was told they would call me when to come try on the dress. I never got a call to follow up. I ended up having surgery, and I called and spoke to a woman to let her know. Every time I called, I felt like I was getting the run around. I wish the tailor worked more days and on weekends. It's hard to leave work early to get there before 5 to try on my dress. I also felt the manager gave me an attitude when I called her about my dress. I just got my dress in May 2025, and it was in there since November 2024. I should have gotten a discount for the trouble. Other than that, the tailor did a great job on my dress. read more

We have been using Dependable Cleaners for five years. When we live in Hingham, Ma we did business with the free standing storefront. BUT when we moved to Boston we decided to use their home pick up service. James the driver .. We noticed on our Credit Card report they charged us $142.75 for dry cleaning over four months ago. Dependable told us they Forgot to charge us for a pick up. We indeed paid for this, and they would not back down. so we had to Stop payment on our card. The credit card company just told us they won and Dependable were wrong. We are now through with Dependable Cleaners. What nerve. read more

So sad. I bought for my husband Birthday, now It not feel the same when I see the burn Jacket. I never came back there Dont you want dry clean your read more

I used the dry cleaner and the wash and fold. In one instance the attempted to steal a designer shirt (Burberry) from me, I confronted them and it was magically found with the explanation the manager checked it out the system. The second grievance was being charged 110 dollars for 35 pound wash and fold which took place after the attempted theft. read more

So good! I needed my suit dry cleaned for the next day as I am graduating! I called like 10-12 dry cleaners in Boston and no store took my order. They did! The next day the suit was clean and ready before 9am! The workers there are great, thank you so much! read more

This place is HUGE. There are gazillions of washers and dryers. We arrived at about 11:30 AM on a Sunday and every machine was full. But within several minutes five washers opened up. I had a little bit of trouble with the card machine (you buy a card and load it with money and use those instead of quarters in the machines). Every time you put $20 on the card you get a $2 bonus. That's nice. Despite being crowded, the place was clean. There are attendants who take your laundry out after about a minute if you aren't there. Don't leave your stuff, or it will be moved! But we didn't mind that. I headed next door to Hua Giang for Vietnamese sandwiches--possibly the best I'd ever had. We ate our delicious $2.50 sandwiches while our laundry tumbled dry. All in all, not a bad experience. It's not cheap here, but I think you pay for the cleanliness and convenience. There's a parking lot, but it fills up quickly. I parked on the street. read more

They would get 5 stars but the place is too expensive. $5 to launder one shirt? I would send more stuff in but the cost is too much.

I took in my Canada goose jacket to be dry cleaned for the first time and it came out with a new stain, stitching coming off the logo, and paint chip from the zipper. Horrible experience. Save yourself the trouble. read more

Convenient location on Dorchester Ave. This location has a small parking lot so you don't have to deal with street parking. Employees here are extremely professional, and polite. My items are always a fast turnaround - same day if I drop off early or the next day if I drop off mid-afternoon. read more

Dependable is good people! Some reviewers have commented that the service isn't too friendly. I'll agree that some of the guys sweeping the floor are ... aloof ;). But seriously, folks, the people who run the joint are a considerate, commendable bunch. They showed me great kindness and made a girl new to the neighborhood feel at home. When my boyfriend and I first moved to Dorchester, it was with weeks of dirty, smelly laundry in tow. Our washer and dryer at the old place had broken, and smelly socks had taken the back seat as we scrambled to get our lives in boxes. The mountain of clothes we sweated through in our voyage was magnificent, a sight to the eyes, and an affront to the nostrils. And we had just moved and we had next to no clothes and it was seven at night and I had work till 8 the next day and I was so tired I could have slept for a year. Dependable drop-off service did it. The price was a little higher that most drop-off services and a lot higher than self-serve, but they said it would be done by 5 the next day. I raced to get there after work to get my clothes before they closed at 9pm. I phoned ahead and they stayed open a few minutes for me. The clothes were all clean and folded. There was so much of it, they put some in a complementary reusable Dependable Cleaner's laundry bag so it would all fit nice and fluffy! Nice! When they saw me arrive without a laundry cart (there was no time stop at home to grab it), they asked me how I would carry it all home. I shrugged, tried not to think of my aching back and feet, and said it wasn't too far. Then the lady behind the counter smiled and said "How far are you? I'll give you a ride." !!!!!! So, after a long day at work bleaching other peoples' stains and folding other peoples' skivvys, before she went to see her own family, she drove me and my (now clean) mountain of clothes back to my new home. I'll say it : I was humbled. Long and short of it, Dependable Cleaners lives up to their name most of the time. Sometimes, they don't have hot water. That happens. But the place is always clean, the TVs are plentiful, and they have lots of dryers. And the service! They came through when it mattered the most. Moneywise, their drop-off service is pricier than most, but self-serve is right. And from Tuesdays-Thursdays they have discounts on the washers. Go then, you'll save a mint. And whenever you go, know, they really, actually, care. read more

Somehow I got conned into doing my own laundry (stupid economy, doesn't allow for extravagant laundry service). Going on a weeknight is still preferable to a weekend - all the cool kids do their laundry on Wednesday nights, right? It's a laundromat, so you can't expect much from anyone else there in terms of courtesy or cooperation. Keep your eyes on the prize, your earbuds jammed in, and your nose in a book, and it'll be alright. read more

I've just moved to Dorchester and my roomie recommended Dependable Cleaners to me. As stated by Cherie C, it's not cheap - but you pay for the size, cleanliness, etc. The few times I have gone and loaded the card my roomie gave me, I did not receive the $2 bonus (although my roomie said next time I should ask someone who works there, because you are supposed to). I absolutely HATE to do laundry, and greatly dislike laundromats... but Dependable Cleaners 'aint bad. I would say that it usually takes about 3 or 4 cycles in their dryers to get things dry, and even then sometimes my items are slightly damp and I just hang them for awhile when I get home. Another plus that is a bit out of the ordinary - they have a few TV's for you to watch while your clothes are washing/drying. read more

First time here last week and I'm impressed. Not sure about prices, everyone else says its expensive, which I guess it is, but my comparison is 3 years ago in a different neighborhood... Staff were great, I was a bit confused by the card machine but the staff came over and showed me how to use it. Cant knock them for the customers.....a lady doesnt need a folding table for her arm, and to sideline me, and children shouldn't be running around like its a jungle gym. read more

I've switched from Kennedy to Dependable Cleaners. They are super friendly, they email me coupons all the time. This makes it a better value that Kennedy. They always make the extra effort to make sure all the details are done right (collar stays, cuff links). I've even had some minor repairs done here too. Happy do business here. read more

Miss the place! I still go out of my way living in revere to use it sometimes they have the best dry cleaning service in Boston that is for sure! read more

Not only do I use Dependable as my dryer cleaner and launderer for my shirts, I also go there for my weekly laundry. What impressed me the most though was that today, I walked in to pick up my shirts, and the woman behind the counter knew exactly what I was picking up before I even gave her my slip or phone number. A little pricey.....but the service makes up for it. The laundromat portion is always immaculate. Every size machine you can imagine. The dryers are hot enough so you don't have to keep putting money into them. read more

The laundromat, I actually like fine. However, I took an expensive, dry clean only silk blanket there. Ruined, f'd up. The exterior looks cleaner, as it should, but the interior melted/bunched up. I'm not sure how this will be resolved, but they will never receive another garment from me again. So, I'm raising the review from one star to three because Francisco was very professional and concerned with trying to fix the blanket. The specialist retufted the silk, so it is usable again, though not the same as it was. read more

I really wanted to like Dependable Cleaners, especially given the convenience of this location and how seamless they make the customer service side. That said, I've been shocked by the quality of their dry cleaning services on more than one occasion - I've received clothes back that definitely smell as if they were not actually cleaned, and most recently, one of my nice blouses had tears in the silk and two others had broken buttons - none of this damage to the garments existed prior. read more

I've been here a few times. No problems, though the staff could be a little more friendly. I like that they don't use the toxic chemical perchlorate. read more

When it comes to quality and service Dependable Cleaners are nothing short of incredible. Their entire staff are always so kind and friendly, they truly make my weekly stops in for dry cleaning and enjoyable experience. For anyone in the area looking for nice people, that are always reliable and generous I highly recommend Dependable Cleaners in Dorchester MA. read more

I have been bringing my dry-cleaning here for a couple of years and always have a great experience. The staff are personable and helpful! Plus, how can you beat same-day turn around!?!

I love this place and have been bringing my clothes here for close to five years. Impeccable customer service--I feel like the staff here really care about me and my garments. Thanks, Francisco and all! read more

I came here because I needed my down comforter washed and dried. It just wouldn't fit in the washing machine in my building. So I figured if I'm going to pay to wash it, I might as well do the wash/dry/fold service here. They are so nice! I was so impressed by their customer service. And to top it off, the comforter looked brand new when I picked it up. It was done the next day and they emailed me to let me know. They send all sorts of coupons too. read more

I have been going to this location for about 5 years. Within the last 6 months the service has gone from good to downright terrible. I had about 8 shirts that were absolutely ruined. When I pressed the management about the shirts they said that because the shirts had spandex that after a while they would lose their shape and the results would be crumpled collars and sleeves. I told the manager that made no sense at all: A. I had purchased all of the shirts with spandex at different intervals spanning many years and they all were messed up in the last 6 months B. I took in custom-fitted shirts that were messed up in the same way as the rest of my shirts C. I had numerous burn marks on all of my shirts D. Some of the shirts that I took in were not even pressed which is part of the service The bottom line is that the service at this place has gone from great to terrible. I just got my last batch of shirts which were all brand-new back and I had stains all over them, hair all over them, and they were not ironed or pressed. I HAVE NOT EVEN WORN THESE SHIRTS AND THEY ARE STAINED NOW. For 6 dollars a piece they were not ironed and had stains. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE. I have been going to this location for about 5 years. Within the last 6 months the service has gone from great to downright terrible. read more

Their tailor is a seriously talented individual. He saved my suit pants that another tailor had butchered. They also take AmEx which others don't. Five stars. read more

I have gone to DC for years, the Milton locations. However, I am fed up. With the prices! Way too high, even with coupons. Silk sundress with a belt, 16.13, belt 2 extra!, pants and skirts 7.42, ladies shirts/blouses 7.27 or 8.27 - what, pray tell, is with the odd prices? They have also lost a pair of pants and possibly a jacket. And to top it off, they routinely have the -' we cant get this stain tag' on lots of items. Not for makeup or ink spills but just regular food or dirt stains. I could do better hand washing. Seriously! read more

Once you put your laundry basket in your car, you better get the fuck out, because they will hound you if you shut your door and look down at your phone, chat with a coworker walking down the street, or waste a precious moment in their parking lot after they have your money and have contractually completed their end of business. read more

I dropped my laundry off my laundry to be washed and folded. The clothes came back as if they were never washed. My clothes smelled like a drunk old man with a lot of cologne. The washers and dryers are expensive and don't work well. I'm so disappointed. read more

A big fan of the Dot location close to home, very friendly service, fast and easy dry cleaning with VIP status, try laundry service if you need. When our plumbing hit a snag, I had to use it and it was fine, be prepared though for the occasional crying baby with some headphones. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. They are great...I can drop off in the morning and my dry cleaning is done after 5pm the same day. The best part is the service. Francisco and his entire staff are always friendly and professional. read more

Good customer service, but at a high price! Dependable Cleaners does a nice job on our drycleaning and laundry. They recently lost two custom shirts of my husband, but generously paid for them in full. If they didn't provide good service in a convenient location, their prices would've driven us elsewhere by now! read more

Overall great service an quality, Fransico, Ashley and Anita are awesome. I recommend their business to anyone out there looking for great service, and especially those in Law Enforcement or Military they offer a great discount for your service. read more

Great customer service and great tailoring and laundering. One star off because I picked up some dry-cleaning and there was still a food stain on the front of my garment (like, actual debris that i could scrape off) . But, I got it off, so... still have love for Dependable :) read more

This place is insane - they have SAME DAY dry cleaning at extremely reasonable prices (I had two suits and three shirts done for less than $40.00)! Drop the stuff off while on my way into work and pick it up on the way home. At their prices, I couldn't ask for anything better. The only downside is that the parking lot is always full and it is kind of narrow. Even so, Dependable Cleaners is amazing. read more
