I came within a half hour and was so pleasantly surprised with his friendliness, professionalism, last minute accommodation and perfect work within 20 minutes like new! I even stayed a bit and had a great conversation with him regarding his family business and history of it. There is convenient street parking alongside the shop and it's right along the Washington Road shops. He charged $20 for two quick solid fixes, last minute and worth every penny for the service overall - in addition to helping a small business. He shared they also have a shop in Squirrel Hill with both for about 30 years. Highly recommend! Tip: cash only.

He also repaired my favorite LV backpack purse and made a point to let me know if he does the repair, LV will never work on my bag to repair and I was so impressed that he mentioned that because he could have lost that sale (but I knew that already and didn't care because I love that bag) AND he only charged $25 to fix the leather strap and secured it stronger than LV would have :) Al's provides top notch quality and it's very affordable!
