Sonshine Cleaners in Iowa City does excellent work -- I've been consistently impressed with the…read morequality of their dry cleaning. But what really won me over was how they handled a problem. The night before a trip, I was packing and realized I didn't have some garments I'd dropped off. It was 9:30 at night and I was frustrated, so I texted their number not expecting much. I got a phone call back almost immediately, with an offer to bring the dry cleaning to me. Turned out one of my garments hadn't met their standards, so they'd sent it back for further cleaning -- which I appreciated. When I picked everything up after my trip, there was a $50 gift certificate waiting for me. Was I frustrated in the moment? Sure. But the response was fast, personal, and genuinely above and beyond. Great cleaning and great service.

(This is for the IC location) Do not recommend this place at all, would give 0 stars if I could…read more First of all, the prices are not listed ANYWHERE - not online or in the "store" - so I was pretty surprised to find out that the cost to dry clean 1 semi-formal (but really not that formal) dress was $37. Lesson learned, I guess, but I would have never assumed it would cost that much for a simple dress. I have never seen that kind of price at other dry cleaners I have used. Also, when I dropped it off, the sign said "anything dropped off today will be done by Wednesday." Well, Wednesday passed and I heard nothing. Once Friday rolled around and I still had not heard anything from them (besides the $37 charge to my credit card), I had to call to inquire, since I needed the dress for an event the next day. No answer. Someone (no idea who) from the store ends up texting me and tells me it "should be done" by the day that I need it by, and also, there is a stain on the dress that they could not remove. Okay, whatever. I just want the dang dress back. So at this point, I'm out $37 and the dress still has a stain on it (the whole reason I brought it in for dry cleaning). I get that maybe the stain just won't come out and that's fine/understandable, but now I am wondering what I paid $37 for. And to get it 3 days after they said it would done (8 days total). For one singular size extra small item. Learned my lesson and will definitely be using a different dry cleaner next time! Hopefully it actually ends up being done before I need it tomorrow - we'll see. Edit: picked it up this morning, hours before my event. The stains are very prominent on the front of the dress. Had I gotten it back on Wednesday, as I was promised, or even Thursday or Friday, I could have found another option before my event. Now it is the day of that the dress was ready to picked up, and it's too late to do anything about. Also, paid $37 for this, need I remind you. Wish I would have just used that money to buy a new dress. 0/10

After a weird experience with the North Liberty one, the Iowa City/West Side one was much smoother…read more They happened to have someone in the office, which was helpful, but don't count on it. They're system is self serve. So not a place you go for questions. But they even explained a stain they had trouble removing with a personal call . They couldn't get it fully out but it's a 20 year old blazer that's been sitting in a closet. They were very helpful as far as suggesting other options - like using a fabric pen to darken the light stain. I like the system of the drop off and Amazon locker like pick up. Prices seem standard and fair for the area. A sport jacket was $10 to dry clean. Will be back.

She complained during my try on and when I picked up my outfit to the point where I could not even bring myself to say thank you. She said she would never do it again in her life because it was too difficult and she should have charged me $100 more than what she charged me to begin with. I paid $135 for the alteration. I would not recommend going here unless you have something that just needs a simple hem.

It's a lovely family-run business, and you can tell they've been doing this a long time. Everyone is super kind, professional, and incredibly skilled. I've brought in all kinds of things over the years -- scrubs, dresses, shirts, pants -- and they always do a great job. They're very knowledgeable about different fabrics (whether it's thick, stretchy, delicate, etc.), so pricing can vary depending on what you bring in. But they're always upfront and explain everything clearly, which I really appreciate. Turnaround time is fast and they're very punctual, but if you're in a real rush, they do offer a fair upcharge for expedited service. Still, I'd definitely recommend giving them at least a week or two, especially if you've got a dance or special event coming up. They'll let you know right away what's realistic and always follow through. Just a heads up -- it's cash or check only, but totally worth the extra step. Couldn't recommend them more!

Dropped off on Friday picked up on Wednesday (5.5 days). I was actually horrified when I saw the work they did. The stitching is bunched and uneven. Makes the whole jacket front right panel pucker.

She charged me $58 for it, which is $15 more than the (what I thought was overpriced) rate at Clothworks for a similar dress. Not to mention, the hem is uneven. One side of the dress rests on the ground while the other is a solid inch above it. I mean nobody will notice when I'm in the wedding, but for more than HALF the price of the dress, it's disappointing. I stand by my opinion that for a quick turnaround and a simple job (i.e. my first experience), the prices are reasonable, but for something nicer, I agree with other reviews that I'd steer clear.

I'm an OG storage unit costumer at this location. It was the Garage Mahaul when I first started,…read morethen Red Dot... and now Storage Rentals of America. I will say a few things I've noticed since Storage Rentals of America took ownership. - They've been making a lot of updates! New garage doors is an obvious one. - Actual staff on site. (Red Dot never had anyone around. While Garage Mahaul was staffed during biz hours M-F.) - HOLY FREEZING. Goodness. I have an indoor storage locker and it is freezing inside, so I am not sure how 'climate controlled' it is? We shall see this summer... Overall, I'm a happy customer. The location is convenient, the facility is clean and the price seems comparable. Additionally, in over five years at this location I have never had an issue getting into my unit. My only qualm is they took ownership and never really let 'tenants' know? The weird transition period between the previous owner and them was rough. (With a dead mouse somewhere in my unit's building that festered for weeks. eek.)

BEWARE!!! DO NOT RENT HERE! We needed a place to store our son's belongings for one month between…read moreleases. We chose the Alyssa Court location because it was close to the U-Haul rental and it was inexpensive compared to other places. Yet it ended up being the most expensive because the place flooded and ruined almost everything he owned, costing us $$$$$ to replace! It was supposed to be climate controlled, but it was so humid in there, mold grew on everything in the few weeks before we could get down there to assess the damage. When we arrived, there was still standing water in our unit and throughout the facility- with no evidence that they were trying to manage the situation. When they called to inform us, the attitude was - "oh well - we're not responsible." So we paid them $154 to ruin his belongings?!? No refund, no apology. On top of that, the gate was wide open, so there was no security, there was broken glass near the door that wasn't cleaned up between the time we moved in and moved out, and the rental office was across town, which was very inconvenient. Literally the WORST experience all around! Avoid at all costs!!!

My dad drinks a lot of Diet Coke. Well, I think it's a lot because I'm not a soda drinker myself,…read morebut whenever I visit he's always within arm's reach of a bottle or a can. As a result, he accumulates a lot of recyclables in big plastic bags in the garage. Today, he gave me the daunting task of taking these bags in to get his deposit back. I've heard of the recycling machines at the Hy-Vees around here, but was warned that I'd have to feed each item individually. Hoping to find a quicker option, I used some Google-fu and found the Can Shed. Surely a place like this would be able to get me in and out quickly, right? I filled up the trunk of my rental car with bags and threw the last one into the back seat and headed on down. Indeed, there is an option to fill a bag with cans and get a fixed amount, which did save time. However, if you can't fill a bag completely, then you have no choice but to pop them into one of their machines. It seems like a logical thing to do would be to offer to pay rebates back by weight, just like what is done at the recycling center back home. Anyways, I was able to fill one of their bags (estimated to be 240 cans and thus $12 payback) but then I had to go through the tedious process of letting the machine individually count the remaining cans and bottles. Curious that we don't pay deposits on plastic water bottles. Seems like this would incentivize people to recycle water bottles instead of possibly throwing them in with the rest of the rubbish. Anyways, I was able to save a little time at Can Shed, and if my dad has amassed another small mountain of Diet Coke cans the next time I'm here, I'll bring them in.

I finally made the trip to Can Shed to get a recycle box for our garage and a couple of box liners…read more We've lived in Iowa City for a few months now and I still hadn't gotten around to it. I stopped here near closing on a Tuesday night and the guys working were very helpful. There isn't a lot of parking, so I'm not sure what you'd do if you were dropping off on a Saturday. Maybe park at the farm store across the parking lot? Anyway, I made it a point to come during the week and not on a Saturday. Saturday's are CRAZY at all Can Sheds. As I was getting out of my car one of the employees helped me right away. I paid $8 for the box and two bag liners; this included tax. We only plan to put cans in our box (box has an open bottom), so once that's full we'll get back $10. I'd suggest getting a separate bag and/or box for plastic bottles and a couple of banana boxes for glass beer/soda/wine bottles. When purchasing the box an instruction sheet was stapled to it with recycling and drop-off guidelines to follow. Definitely read this because if you don't have everything organized according to how they like it at Can Shed it'll slow down your return process. Iowa is one of the few states with any sort of bottle law, so help keep Iowa beautiful and recycle those cans and bottles! You'll be able to take that deposit $ and buy another case of pop or 6-pack. Recommend.
