DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Where do I start with my review (something I seldomly do unless the service was amazing or terrible in this instance it was the later!), as I am trying to figure out how this place is still in business and who actually gives them a rating that is more than 2 stars?! I have been going there for a year because they are 5 minutes from my house and I read the reviews which seemed legit, not true! I have tried to be fair and reasonable as I have given them multiple opportunities to address the issues I have shared with them over the last year. 1. I have had multiple articles of clothing ruined by them(picture attached of my white dress shirt which has black spots all over the back and sleeves as one of many examples and actually saw a review today from two weeks ago where another customer raised the same issues with her dress). This is one of many examples where they give me back my clothes with stains that weren't there when I dropped my clothes off which I can 100% assure you of as I have total OCD!! 2. The people they hire to work up front need listening lessons as they don't listen or hear one thing you say to them as I asked them 5 different times to saw buttons on my suite pants and every time I picked them up, you guessed it no buttons, despite me asking and the pants having a tag on them for buttons. This isn't isolated to these dress pants as it has happened to multiple suit jackets and dress shirts as well. When I point this out to the 3 different people that work upfront (guy with long hair, younger girl and girl with interesting make up) I get the exact same puzzled I have no idea what you're talking about aka I don't give a s....t apathetic look from each one of them. I can keep going, but I am sure if you are reading this you get the idea that unless you want your clothes ruined and receive terrible customer service there are plenty of better dry cleaners out there that won't ruin your clothes and at least pretend like they care when you are asking them something related to what they are being paid to do, like their jobs!! Avoid this place like the plague!!!! read more

I asked to have my uniforms pressed by this weekend and they decided to put it in for the weekend after when I told them I needed them urgently for this weekend. I show up and that's when they decided to tell me. Don't come here for reliable service. read more

They lost my shirt and after 3 weeks of asking how they were to handle this situation and asking to speak to the owner they said he did not wish to speak with me. The only way they would replace my shirt was by making me go buy another shirt and bring in a receipt. I have been using this cleaner for 10 years and he was willing to lose me over 40$. Your clothes are not guaranteed to be returned or paid for if you use this cleaner. I am shocked. They lost my clothes and then were telling me what I needed to do. What if it was a very expensive garment and I didn't have the money to buy another ? If you use this store it is AT YOUR OWN RISK. read more

We have been using Kingsmen for more than a decade now and they have been consistently amazing. Always on time, amazing price, excellent costumer service, and great service overall!!! read more

Great always available and work with your timelines and do a great job. Services are great as well.

Very professional and looks out for their customers. My husband has come here multiple times for his military attire and recently needed a formal suit tailored last minute. This business went above and beyond to make sure my husband was able to get his suit cleaned, pressed, tailored perfectly and in time. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing place for uniforms!! Good service, and good prices!! There aren't lines compared to other dry cleaners. This makes it so convenient that you'll be spending no more then 5 minutes to drop off, pay, and take off. Highly recommend!!! read more

WORST dry cleaning place ever!!!! I took in 3 pairs of pants to get altered and they lost one pair. I got there and they said your jacket has not been dry cleaned yet. I said I didn't have a jacket and I did not ask for dry cleaning ‍ They said what was the other item? Mind you I drive all the way from Falbrook so this was a mission. They finally found them and said we won't charge you for the dry cleaning (that I never asked for) so I had to drive all the way back to pick them up annoying!!! read more

Great customer service and very prompt! Everyone who works there are professional and friendly. I see them every week for my dry cleaning and have never had any issues. read more

Brought my husbands military uniform here because Dorothy's was too backed up from ball season. And they gave him his Charlie's with a chevron on one of the sleeves and the other sleeve is completely missing a chevron. He made sure to ask the worker that everything was good to go and she told him yes even though the uniform was clearly not finished. read more

I needed a last minute alteration on a dress I was wearing for a wedding and Teresa did a fantastic job! It was a quick turnaround and I wasn't even sure it would work, but she did her magic and now I have my beautiful dress ready to go!! Thank you so much! Amazing customer service. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Friends and I have been coming here for a long time and never been disappointed! Great customer service and will always get my stuff done through them read more

Really wanted to like this place. Gave them a fair shot, for 10 months. Now, I totally agree with others here about their customer service. So lowering my stars rating. Tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with Jerry the manager/owner. Your other location gave me this phone# (760-721-8368) (which is correct# as listed with Yelp, Google Places, and Oceanside Chamber of Commerce plus other city websites as being the proper phone#) When I call it rings and rings, nobody answers, ever. Called it mid-morning and mid-afternoon, every day for over a week. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.

Always fast and alway clean! Love these folks! Never had an item lost for more than a brief moment and they always go above and beyond to help me out. read more

I have been going to them for over 21 years, basically my entire Naval career. They have never disappointed.

Went to get my granddaughter's dress altered the lady who was doing the alteration offered to alter the dress for free because she couldn't fit the dress in the machine because of all the beading we walked away with a perfect fitting dress and very good customer service would recommend to anyone read more

Kingsmen is The worst dry cleaner in Oceanside! They have ruined more clothes that I could possibly imagine. I finally gave up on them because I'm so tired of sending my expensive clothes to be dry clean there and they constantly ruined it. I only went there because it's close to my house and only a block away but never again will my family and I send any of our clothes there! Please think twice about giving them your business because most likely they will ruin your clothes and they are extremely expensive with their pricing! read more

Great prices. Friendly faces. Speedy service! I had a hard time finding a place that would perform spot treatment AND have ready to pick up the following day (most places I called didn't have their spot treatment specialist on site) - this was VERY helpful. Definitely will be back. read more

Best dry cleaning service in Oceanside!! Always great work and are fast with same day dry cleaning!! Deff recommended

0 for 1! First time using this place. I dropped off some clothes on Thursday and received assurances they'd be ready Saturday afternoon, or "anytime Sunday." Well, it's Sunday, and the gal behind the counter just told me the work hasn't been started and that she doesn't know why. Pretty bummed cause the drive is fairly long... read more

New to town, I chose Kingsmen because of their hours! But I'll continue going because of their friendly staff, great do-what-it-takes service and the high quality of their work! I had a TON of cleaning, about 15 pieces, that I dropped off in Friday night..and I needed it by Monday at noon (Veterans Day) for a work trip to Chicago. They said they would have it ready, no extra charge! They did have it ready and everything was cleaned, pressed and repaired (loose hem in pants) for their very reasonable regular price! I spend a lot of money on my work clothes and image is important in my industry so I'm super happy to have found Kingsmen as my go-to cleaners here in Oceanside! I highly recommend them if you need a reliable, quick, friendly, well priced and very detail oriented dry cleaning service!! read more

Great Customer service! The girls are really friendly. They have a great seamstress too. I had some shirts that needed taken in and they did a great job. Byou can't even tell they were taken in. Thanks again! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. Very unprofessional here. Considering they handle a lot of military clients they should know how to tailor uniforms. The young girl that worked the counter insisted on raising her voice at me so that all the other people in the shop could hear. I had to tell her twice that there was no need to raise her voice , she continued to talk an say that the order was rushed. Our uniforms were never on order, we walked in and had them tailored. They messed up plain and simple. My daughters pants were to long, and one was longer than the other. So them doing a half ass job on the uniform my daughter got in trouble from her master sergeant. And to top things off she wanted to charge me for them messing up. Do not come to this place, unprofessional and do not care about their customers. read more

Kingsmen Dry Cleaners - Clearly thats a big mistake. - Laundry Services Near Me - Oceanside, California

Always on time and fairly priced. I've had comforters, rugs, and clothes dry cleaned here as well as hemmed some pants. Good and fast service. read more

I like this shop because it is never as packed as Dorothy's or GI Joe's. Personally I have never had a problem with the way they dry clean my uniforms. Their staff is very friendly and accommodated a late pick-up that I absolutely needed. read more

Do not get anything tailored here. I should of known when the person working the register also did the measuring, and seemed to not know what to do. At least the shirts weren't ruined, it just looks like there wasn't anything done to them at all. read more

I had a need for a rush cleaning of my umpire uniform pants. I called them from Yelp and was advised that if I brought my pants in first thing Saturday morning my pants would be ready Sunday. They delivered as promised & I am very pleased. People I dealt with were very friendly and oriented to customer service. read more

This is the second time that this has happened and I'm done w these people. Took my Charlie's in to get dry cleaned and both shirts came back w pressed wrinkles. The first time was similar situation. I honestly came to them in 2012 and never had issues until recently. Not doing this again! read more

I've been going to Kingsmen Cleaners ever since I got to Camp Pendleton. I've had minimal issues with their services. The few times i've had issues, they were corrected without any hassle. They provide great customer service. Aurelian is very polite and handles things well even when things get pretty hectic. Great rates and once again outstanding service. read more

This place is not too bad. I have only used them once but plan on returning to them for future business. The customer service was pretty good, not the best, but not bad. It cost me around $70.00 for 24 items of clothing. I didn't think it was too bad considering i had a couple specialty items. They do all sorts of alterations for all services of the military. The parking inst too bad, they have about 10 spots on the side of their building to park at. read more

I guess because they cater to the military and service a lot of military personnel they feel they can treat normal clothes like s*** they ruined my stuff they never take the spots out every time I've asked her a crease it never happens they're very dismissive and nonchalant when they make a mistake they're never willing to pay for it and when you want it fixed right there like you're picking up your clothes and paying for them they have nobody there to put a crease or fix anything it's quite ridiculous and kind of sad that they just capitalize on these young military read more

Professional service, great hours, and a service to our men and women in the armed forces.

Amazing!!! So helpful and kind. FAST service. I highly recommend them!!! The ladies there are the sweetest!!!

Just left here and this place seriously lacks any customer service. The girl at the register has a horrible attitude I just hope they don't screw up my uniforms. Ugh read more

The first time I came here was with my husband for his dress blues. Which they did an awesome job with, everything was perfect and in place. So I figured since their prices were so great, I would have them do a few of my things too. I had them clean my wedding dress, which was super cheap for all the beading it had on it($60), hem two shirts ($8 each) and hem a ball gown ($60). They cleaned my dress fine. However, I had a few problems with them once they worked on my civilian clothes. When I came to pick up my items, they explained to me that their machine broke and could not hem one of my shirts, so I was not charged. But now I have an un-hemmed shirt... Also, when I tried on my other shirt, it was a bit short and the thread didn't match!! Wtf!! Red shirt with black thread??? Not okay. Also, I assumed that they did a decent job on my dress, and so the night of the ball, I noticed that they had not in fact even touched the hem!! I went back before our ball and demanded that they do something. So luckily, they were really nice about it and hand sewed the hem quickly so I would not trip. Then they told me to bring it back so they could fix it. I had to send it back once more because they did not hem it correctly. However, they did get the job done... A month out. Great customer service when things go wrong, however I should not have had to go through that. 5 stars for military uniforms and prices 1 star for my civilian clothing Balancing it out to 3. Only not a 2 because they tried their best to fix things. Unless you are military, I would only stick to them for cleaning, not hemming or alterations. read more

I brought them my Husband's Dress Blues...loads of cat-hair on them, and they have been sitting in the closet for the past year.....I'm crossing my fingers that they do a fabulous job and do NOT mess up the uniform! ten bucks was all I paid...2 days til I can pick up, I'll let you know how It turned out. only 2 stars for now...the young gal at the counter was nice but how much can you really tell from this 2 min interaction...update to follow:) read more

My sister who is a Marine always likes bringing her stuff here since she's been coming her for years. She recently came back to San Diego and had me bring some of her stuff on a Thursday. They said it would be ready by Monday and when I came in Monday the lady tells me it will be done by 6pm. She didn't tell us this Thursday. We don't live in north county so I had driven here to pick up my sisters uniforms. I came the following day to pick up her stuff and she rings me up, but my sisters cover is not done. The lady tells me I have to wait 15 minutes for the boiler to turn on. Luckily everything was done, but I won't be back to this place. read more

I've had mixed experiences here. Sometimes they do a great job, sometimes not so much. The past 3 times I've picked up clothes, I've had to bring at least 2 articles back because they weren't cleaned at all, still spots and wrinkles. read more

My mom went in to get 16 tablecloths pressed for my grandm's 100th birthday party. The older man quoted her $3 per tablecloth. But, the younger man said "not $3 we will do it for $6." She would have appreciated them telling her that they were too busy, instead of negotiating a price in front of her. read more

DO NOT GO HERE FOR ALTERATIONS!! They ruined my bridesmaid dress and refused to correct the problem becuase somehow it was my fault the alteration lady got sewing happy and took to much material out. I went in to try on and she messed it up so bad that she had to correct it and even at that couldnt correct her mistake. The owner Jerry Diaz is not very professional! Apparently, owning your own business you cant man up to the mistakes your business makes. Also, DO NOT GO HERE FOR YOUR DRY CLEANING! When I dropped off my dress to be altered I dropped off my brand new football jersey that was only worn once. When I got it back it was ruined! The numbers on the front of my jersey came completely off and the owner Jerry Diaz said, "It's the factories fault. The facotry that produced the jersey. Because of the paint they use." Wow, did you really put the blame on someone else for something that your at fault with. Overall, I DO NOT RECOMMEND going here for anything! Bad service, Bad Alterations, Bad Dry cleaning and POOR Managament. read more
