    I have been going to Gold Star cleaners within the Old Town and Orono areas for over 2 1/2 years…read more Never had a problem until now, not with the laundry but with the general manager. I went to the Old Town facility to drop off a pair of pants to be hemmed. A few weeks later I went to pick them up. They were hemmed incorrectly. I was told I wouldn't be charged. When they were ready again, I went to to pick them up. They were done perfect. I was also told the amount I owed. I mentioned that I was informed that I wouldn't be charged again. I was frustrated, but I had to pay the amount again. The manager was down the aisle away from the counter. He heard what was going on and told me I needed to pay for things that were done. He then continued to vent very meanly. I ignored him. As I was getting ready to leave, he rudely told me I am not allowed to go to any Gold Star Cleaners facility in the future, and he kept loudly venting. I live in Milford, the closest laundromat that isn't Gold Star is in Brewer. That manager needs to be removed from Gold Star Cleaners, permanently! I hear a lot of negative things about him. I do have to mention that I looked at my bank account yesterday, there was an amount refunded from Gold Star Cleaners. That was nice of him to do because it made him look good.

    The staff could not be nicer and polite. The owner, Eric Pooler, could not be more rude. The guy…read moreyells, screams, is out of control. Just hope they do not ruin one of your garments, which happens everywhere, but having to deal with that person is worth taking your laundry somewhere else. I am very sorry for his employees, who clearly have to deal with an employer who is an embarrassment to the Bangor business community.

    Gold Star Cleaners - The simple stain I expected to be removed after dry cleaning. It's about the size of a quarter.

    THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY REVIEW 4th May 2023…read more I doubt you could get the worst service from gold star cleaners in old town, Maine than I received today. I dropped off my academic robes earlier in the week with a promise they would be ready today. Instead, when I called the outlet tonight, I was told there was no sign of them, and they did not know where they were. A bit of a worry, to say the least. So their poorly trained but delightfully polite member of staff called their manager, who told them he was going to call all the shops to try and find it. Luckily they did find it still at the depot shortly afterward. When. I spoke to the manager they were not prepared to do anything to help me. I was told that they could get it to the old town outlet by 6 pm, giving the impression this would be a massive problem for them and for them to be offering such an amazing service, I should really be thankful for this "compromise" (remember I been told it would be available first thing in the morning today) and he would not change his timing to held a distressed customer. By this time, I had already been at the shop for 40 minutes, and the manager suggested I simply wait another hour and 15 minutes until they could be bothered to drive the 15 minutes from Brewer to old town to fix their mistake was simply ludicrous. Talk about a lack of customer service. During our conversation, I offered several compromises to get my robes to me only to be told they, "We're not The post office or UPS," which is clearly true as they have things like tracking numbers and helpful employees to help customers find out about the service they have bought. I can only hope my robes are there tomorrow, but sadly I fear the worst. So here are my rankings Customer service 0 Helpfulness of management 0 Problem resolution 0 Concern 0 Courtesy of shop staff is very good, the management 0 Do not use, go anywhere else but Gold Star Dry cleaning Up date, when I wore my robes on Friday I have to say the quality of the cleaning was very poor (see photo) that stain looked like it hadn't been cleaned at all. They also lacked the fresh dry cleaned smell you except. This led me to propose a scenario of events. Thursday my items were misplaced" aka lost, and not cleaned. The delay involved the depot doing a rush job on them, effectively a quick press and race to the shop to save place and no dry cleaning, or cleaning at all for that matter. So I can now add to my scores: standard of cleaning, very poor. This led me to do more research on the company, all I can say is I wish I'd looked at their reviews on the Better Buisness Beureau as they seem to be reflective of the service than the 3.8 average they have here and in Yelp, where clearly they are using friends to get a higher review. What is us laughable is this quote from their website. " We take pride in being the best and we back it up 100%. If you're not 100% satisfied in any way we'll clean your garment again at no cost. If we can't make it right, I'll give you your money back! Quality, service and your complete satisfaction are our main goals." talk about misleading advertising. Not that I'm asking for my money back that bird has flow, as I'll never set foot in one of their hovels ever again. All I want to do is prevent any reader of this review from receiving the same horrific service & bad treatment, because as customers receiving this "service", we deserve better, and you can get that better service just about anywhere else.
