Have been going here the last 6 months or so, and most recent trip they 'lost' a $600 sweater. Took me weeks of chasing as they never called back when they said they would. Kept asking me for a photo of the item, which of course I don't have laying around - got a lot of mixed explanations of what they do and what could have happened. After weeks of back and forth, I wrote a Yelp review and noted I was going to file a claim with the BBB - the next morning I got a call saying the item had been found. Suffice to say I will not be going back, something is going on at this place (Look at the spike of yelp reviews about lost high value items from the last year). I actually deleted my previous Yelp review when they called to tell me they found the item. I figured with their practices, eventually they'd lose their customer base and that would be it, no need to say anything. However, as I walked in to pick up the sweater, I waited behind a visibly upset lady whose nice dress she needed for an event 'had been lost' - I heard them ask her for a photo of it. She left empty-handed. I will still be reaching out to the BBB, and I would encourage anyone reading this to avoid the business. read more

Gosh! I wish I had read the previous reviews before trusting my dry cleaning with them. When I dropped off my cashmere sweaters, I was quoted $5.50 each. I asked for a receipt and was told I'd receive a text. The only text I got was a generic thank-you message, not an itemized receipt. When I went to pick them up, the sweaters weren't even cleaned properly -- there were still crumbs on the sleeves. On top of that, I was charged $8 each for two sweaters and $7 for one. The manager called the staff member who had originally quoted me the price and proceeded to "train" her over the phone in front of me, instead of addressing my issue professionally. The manager's customer service was appalling, and she refused to honor the original price I was given. I'm definitely not going back here again. read more

Imperial Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Ramon, California

Very half baked interaction... they don't tell the price for dry cleaning up front (when dropping the clothes) just a very rough estimate and when you go for picking the finished clothes..... be prepared to be surprised what you may end up paying much higher. The front desk clerk has "don't care" attitude read more

I've been coming here for four years, and this used to be my favorite dry cleaner. Unfortunately, over the past two months, they've lost every single item I've brought in. They don't answer the phone, the staff is rude, they can't quote prices accurately, and worst of all--they keep denying responsibility. I've now been waiting six weeks for them to locate a very expensive sweater. I've stopped by seven times, and all I get are empty promises. This came right after another six-week ordeal just to get back my comforter, duvet, quilt, and blankets--only for them to blame me for not labeling them. Once I recover my sweater (if ever), I won't be coming back. I'd rather drive to San Francisco where I know things will be done right. Sadly, this is the second dry cleaner in the East Bay that has completely let me down. read more

Two weeks ago they quoted me one price and hand wrote what the cost would be. Five days later I come back to pick up my clothes and quoted more. They said I was quoted the wrong price. The Manager was not in so they gave me my clothes and asked me to come back. I'm an honest person so I decided to come back today to resolve and pay. Per the website and sign posted at the door hours of operation are 8:30am. It's 8:50 am and many of us are waiting patiently outside on this Friday morning! Very disappointing and unprofessional to not open on time. I made an effort today to pay and since you are not open on time to receive your money that's your loss. I will not be back to Imperial Cleaners / Park Avenue Cleaners whatever your new name is! read more

Imperial Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Ramon, California

It's never fun to write a bad review but as a customer this place has disappointed on several areas. We always want to support local and small businesses. 1. Terrible communication - their machines were broken but they didn't inform customers that their clothing was not ready. When asked if we could get the clothing back. They said no with no explanation. 2. Terrible customer service - the only one that is nice is a woman by the name of Elaine. The others are rude. 3. I lost a few clothing items. No apologies or effort to even look for them. 4. No sense of urgency on turnaround time. read more

I have been taking my clothes here for the past 5 years, I believe it was owned by a Korean family. Something has clearly changed in ownership although they deny it. Service seems off (lost a pair of pants) and prices up and different people working the counter. I will switch with all the bad recent reviews. read more

I've been bringing my dry cleaning and alterations to Imperial for several years and have always been impressed with their service and quality. Gia is great to work with, always helpful and skilled with her expertise in alterations. I brought my wedding gown for complex alterations and the seamstress surpassed my expectations with expedited service and my dress beautifully altered. Hands down, best dry cleaners in San Ramon/Danville! read more

Terrible, horrible customer service. We dropped off a suit and shirt for my son's college graduation and was quoted a 4pm pickup for the day before the event. We called multiple times starting at 4pm and the phone lines are busy or no one picks up. When the woman finally picked up, she stated she has lost our expensive items and has no way of contacting her driver or providing an estimated pickup time! She was not empathetic or willing to help in any way. This place is a scam and a terribly run business. Worst of all, she hung up on me after providing no help or explanation. This place needs to be reported. read more

Welcoming and friendly. I recently started a new job in San Ramon and needed a dry cleaner near by, this is the closest to my office. Glad I came here, nice atmosphere and with a smile. The young lady was quite pleasant, felt like I've known her for years. Nice in a city to have a friendly cleaners. Reasonable prices and they did an excellent job. Definitely recommend read more

If I could give it negative rating I would .. I am sorry but new ownership is awful ., it takes a week to get anything cleaned .. and most of time it is still not ready ! They lost an item had no idea where it was and would only credit my account no refund .. I would suggest going anywhere else but here .. read more

I hope this is the correct dry cleaner on Camino Ramon that is under new ownership and located close to FedEx. I used to bring our cleanings there for years, and then all of a sudden, they kept misplacing my items, not just one, but several, in fact so many, that we felt we needed to change drycleaners. After venting on NextDoor, asking for recommendations for a good cleaning business, we did take our items to a new cleaner. In the interim we had learned that the Imperial Cleaners was under new ownership and that the transition process may have been the reason for the frustrating misplacement of items. After a few months, we decided to try Imperial Cleaners one more time and luckily, we did not have any misplaced items anymore. So, I have to say, I am glad we are back at the familiar site and our items are receiving the promised TLC. The prices are reasonable, and the service is great. read more

Gina is an amazing seamstress. She has an amazing sense of modern style when it comes to properly fitting a pair of men's suit trousers. We also got a slew of clothes pressed and cleaned and everything came out perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better fit when it came to the suit we brought in to hem and size l. read more

GET YOUR QUOTE IN WRITING I took a blazer and they quoted me $9.00 and it will take one week to get it done. When I went to pick up, my charge was $12.95. When I asked why $4 more, they said because it was without pants. These people are big rip off, I will never go back to them again. read more

Sadly, I'm having to change my rating from 5 stars (under previous owner) to 1. The new owner of this business makes up charges off the top of her head and never sticks to a verbal quote. Her nice employee quoted me a certain amount to have draperies cleaned, and when I picked them up, the cost was nearly DOUBLE what I had been quoted. ("She's new, and she didn't know the right amount.") I had been a regular customer for several years and this upset me. But I gave them another chance---this time over charges for cleaning an area rug. I was quoted "Minimum $45.00" over the phone, so I brought it in. When I got there, I asked for a firm quote, and without even unrolling the rug to see what she was cleaning, she said (on the same day) "Starts at $80.00." I reminded her she had quoted minimum $45.00 over the phone, and the answer I got was "Yeah, but I hadn't seen it.." When I asked for the highest amount it could end up costing, she stood there for a minute and appeared to pull a figure out of the sky. ($120.00). I took the rug elsewhere. Also, alterations services have gone way downhill, and services in general. I'm sorry to have to find another dry cleaners. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! NEW OWNERSHIP This dry cleaning establishment does not deliver as promised. I came to drop off my clothes on Saturday to get pressed only. I came to pick up clothes on the date and time listed on the receipt, which was Tuesday at 5 pm. The cashier told me it's not ready and it's in Walnut Creek. I have to travel for business and was willing to pick up my clothes even if they did not press my clothes yet. Their rationale was that Monday was a holiday. I provided the feedback to the Cashier that they should not have promised the clothes on the date/time listed on the receipt. There were at least 3 other customers behind me with the same problem. I will not continue to support this dry cleaning establishment with my business. read more

If you need alterations for any formal wear, AVOID this place. I had dropped off pants and casual dresses here before and didn't have issues, so it was surprising to me how chaotic and awful the experience was for my formal dresses. I spent weeks coming back and forth, multiple times a week, to try and get my daughter's dress sized properly, along with a dress for myself. They tried to return my daughter's dress dirty, and when I pointed that out they agreed to dry clean it, but it further delayed the whole process. Ultimately, the dress was still big after 3 times of us coming back and them measuring her. For my dress, I had to come back multiple times because the seamstress wasn't in, and when it was finally done, they gave it back to me with completely uneven stitching around the outside of the chest area, blood stains on the silk/lace, and with strings hanging off of it. It looked like a DIY project vs professional work. My dress is ruined and unwearable, and I needed to find a new seamstress to work on my daughter's dress. When I complained and asked for a refund, they offered store credit -- as if we would ever return after this. A complete waste of time and money. read more

They do not do all their cleaning onsite and could not locate the high priority suit I brought in specifically because they said they could get it done by the next day at 5 pm. I dropped it off first thing in the morning the day before - emphasizing the importance of the turnaround time, and lo and behold the suit is nowhere to be found in their store or at the other location they send it off to. Horrible experience - I've never had this issue with other dry cleaners before. I went with them based on the good reviews.. not at all my experience unfortunately. Do not recommend - this isn't atypical from what I've learned. read more

As a first time customer, I really wanted to like this place but there were a few issues so it makes me a little hesitant to come back. I had dropped off a dress shirt and a dress on a Friday, and was told it would be ready by Tuesday. The the outfits we dropped off was worn for our engagement photoshoot, for about an hour or so, so it wasn't super dirty. However, my dress had some stains on it (presumably from sitting on the ledge at Sutro Baths that was covered in bird poop) so the gal who took the dress had marked the spots where it needed to be spot cleaned. She next inspected the shirt and said, oh, this looks like it's a nice (expensive) shirt. But the shirt was relatively clean but it needed to be cleaned and pressed. No issues there. I show up Tuesday and they said they aren't ready yet and need a few more days. A few more days goes by, we go to pick it up and was told they were trying to get some spots out. Well, that's weird because there weren't any spots or stains when I dropped it off. We were asked to come back in a few more days. We went the following Tuesday - at this point, more than a week has gone by and finally we were able to pick up the dress. Still no shirt. I guess at this point they really couldn't find it, and said to come back or call the following week for the shirt, maybe someone else picked it up with their order and might bring it back. Long story short, another week goes by and still no shirt. They offered to compensate us for the shirt that was lost which should be a given at this point but at the end of the day, we had 2 items cleaned and after 5 or 6 trips to the shop, we only got 1 item back and was compensated for the other item. 3 stars for the customer service because it seems like they felt bad about it and that they at the very least compensated us for the lost item but 2 stars off for the whole experience. Such a hassle to keep having to come back to check on the order and it took like 3 weeks to resolve. Really not sure if we will be coming back. read more

Plumbing problems? Car issues? Bring to Gina, she may be able to help you! Looking for a nearby Dry Cleaners to my new place in San Ramon, I tried out Imperial Cleaners. Gina greeted me warmly, explained all the specifics in a nice intro: * Onsite cleaning * 1-2 days turnaround (same day if needed) * All alterations or fixes of any kind I've been now a few times, and I really like the service at fair prices. --- 1/27/2020 -- Review update! Now, bumped to 5 stars! This is my now "go to" dry cleaners, I go all the time. Plus, Gina really is a miracle worker. She repairs things like no one. read more

I usually want to support local small businesses but this place is just so disappointing and unprofessional. They lose our stuff frequently and make no effort to look for them or compensate us. They just expect that we would forget about our dry cleaning and not bother them about it when they have lost our clothes and did not even let us know what steps (if any) they are taking to remedy the situation. We have busy lives and don't have the time to call them every few days to try to track down our stuff. Anyways, avoid this place and take your cleaning somewhere else. read more

In May I took a relatively new suit to be clean and it came back with no front buttons.....I gave them the benefit of the doubt and asked them to replace all the buttons and they put the buttons in a sloppy place so that the suit is crooked and also did not sew a hem in on my sleeves basically both have to be redone ....they don't stand by their work will not go back read more

Imperial Cleaners was fabulous! They cleaned my 30-year-old wedding dress and veil for my anniversary party. It is a heavily beaded dress and not one pearl or bead fell off. They also altered it by removing the long sleeves and making little cap sleeves. It completely modernized the dress! The were so friendly and helpful and the quality of their work was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend them. read more

They ruined my curtains. They shrunk by 3 inches and they didn't take ownership that they did it. The manager was very rude. I kept asking how they were going to handle this and all they said was , they are ready to be picked up. They ignored what happened. . read more

I needed alterations done quickly and they were so nice and accommodating. They did a terrific job.

5 stars for above and beyond customer service. I really needed the items I'd dropped off for dry cleaning and alterations but could not make it by their 4:00 close on Saturday, so I called to see if they happened to be open past 4:00. As luck would have it, Gina was still there and offered to wait an additional 15 minutes for my partner to pick up my clothes. She had them all ready for him when he arrived. Gina's generosity and flexibility really got my a** out of a bind; now I have the things I need for work travel this week! Thank you thank you! read more

For my daughter's sweet sixteenth, with such short notice - Gina made magic happen. It was perfectly altered in such a timely manner. Last week, for my daughter's summer camp. Again with short notice, we received once again perfectly altered dresses in only two business days. Her care for customers and skill set are top-notch. I can't say enough thank yous, so I'm sharing it here. read more

Friendly knowledgeable dependable and superior quality of work! All that plus fair prices. Actually cheaper than most places. Do not pass up a great place to get your dry cleaning done. The suits, shirts and comforter look like new. Highly Recommend! read more

Gina was absolutely amazing. I went for the first time with a large blanket I needed back as soon as possible. I walked in and Gina was just all smiles and genuinely seemed like one of the sweetest souls. She was able to get me my blanket back in less than a day. Their onsite cleaning makes things so easy and I'm not afraid of anything being lost. I 100% recommend coming here, your belongings will be in great hands! read more

One of the best full service dry cleaners in the Danville/San Ramon area. Not only do they do all work on-site, thereby avoiding the chances of your items going missing, but they also do expert alterations - all at reasonable prices. The new owner, Gina, is super nice and always greets me with a smile. She works very hard to provide excellent service...and it shows in her genuine care for her customers. Great to have a reliable and trustworthy dry cleaner close to home. Giver her a try. You'll be happy you did! read more

I just moved to the are for work and needed my suits, shirts, and pants looking perfect in order to make a great first impression. It was a timely manner and needed to be rushed. Gia, or Gina (I apologize if the name is wrong) put a special order on my clothes and got them done right away. They did an excellent job and have earned my business for as long as I live in the area. 5 stars!!!! read more

Gina did a fantastic job with alterations to my son's new suit. She took in the jacket, tapered the pants and generally made the suit look a whole lot better than it did just off the rack. Definitely recommend this business for alterations. read more

This place is the ABSOLUTE BEST. Literally. I've had so many clothes fitted, and customized here & they always do the most quality job. Anything they touch will become your new favorite piece of clothing, just bc of how well they actually fit it. & they're super quick too which is awesome. I've brought in shirts that were uneven (someone else's work) and they fixed it no problem. I've brought in tops with cheap straps, and they fixed the straps. This place is just magic period. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I recently used this dry cleaner prior to going on vacation I brought in can Tommy Bahama button up shirts to have them dry cleaned and when I got them back one still had spots on it and then while I was on vacation I realized none of my shirts have been dry clean all they did was spray deodorizer on them and press them. They'll never see another dollar of my money read more

I haven't received horrible service in a long time across any service or industry....especially to the magnitude where I felt compelled to write my first negative review... I had several collared shirts to either dry clean or launder, didn't matter to me which... whatever is faster and cheaper. Showed up 10 minutes before closing. The owner is there (assuming he is the owner) Korean male, who from the onset exuded negative energy. As I get out of my car, he is glaring at me (parked directly in front of store); to the point where as soon as I walked in the door, I said "sorry are you already closed?" He says "no" annoyingly... I then start to count the shirts for him and he continues with major attitude, I finally ask him if he wants me to leave... doesn't say anything... I then ask how much are you going to charge me per shirt and he says $5.40 per shirt. I told him I've been coming here regularly for a year and it's never been more than $2 a shirt. Doesn't say a word. Finally I just said I'm not going to give you my business and left... The odd thing is I felt prejudiced against... I also felt he may have counted the register already... the problem I have is he simply could have said that and that the store was closed, I would have happily come the next day. From one Korean to another. Your service made me feel horrible and I want all to know. Good luck. You'll need it. Dry cleaners are a dime a dozen and if you can't simply be a decent person, I don't see how your business will last. read more

The quality of service is top-notch. Everything Gina touches comes out spotless-- as good as when the garment was purchased. Plus, the service is fantastic: same day service if needed, alterations. This establishment is a pleasure to do business with. read more
