Gabriel did a great job restoring a pair of old Chanel heels I bought second hand. The bottoms were…read morecompletely worn out and the PVC plastic straps and suede padding were quite filthy. Drop off was a breeze, I just told him exactly what I needed (a shoe cleaning and resole) and he took care of the rest. A few days later I got a call from Gabriel notifying me that everything was done! When I came to pick up the shoes Gabriel allowed me to inspect the result. The shoes looked almost brand new again. He even matched the beige sole color perfectly. The cost was a little more on the pricier side but I think the quality of the work made up for it. I tried on the shoes when I got home and it felt significantly less unstable and much comfier to walk in. I'm so excited to wear these out without fear of them falling apart. I'm very happy with the result. Thank you!

TOP 3 REASONS TO AVOID BRINGING MOTORCYCLE JACKETS OR BOOTS…read more 1) They do very bad work per all the photos and complaints on yelp 2) He is extremely rude per all the photos and complaints on yelp 3) They are extremely overpriced per all the photos and complaints on yelp I came in a second time for something and the same man behind the counter that everyone is referring to was extremely RUDE. They have one of the lowest ratings overall of any store in Corona Del Mar at 2 1/2 stars and more 1 star ratings than any business I can find on yelp that does motorcycle jacket and boot repair. Does this man not understand that when so many people say that he is rude that maybe he really is the problem? It's the exact same story over and over again. He is rude when you come in he is rude when you leave and he doesn't do good work. You can get away with being a little bit rude if you do really good work, but they are subpar not even professionals as shown by all the photos of very unprofessional work they do. And way overpriced. He always has the same canned weak excuse for everything he doesn't remember who you are or what you are saying is not true. Per photo this rip did not exist when we brought it in, but it existed when we left, and he denied that and blamed on us and told us to leave and offered no solution.

I've had them resole shoes, rework my wife's favorite purse, and lots of easier things (you've never seen a shoe-shine like they will do!) It isn't fast or cheap, but it is exceptional quality. Actually, now that i think about it, they have always delivered earlier than their original estimated date. It's called Anthony's but the owner is actually Michael. He's a really nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Twice I've gone in there to ask if I should refinish something, and he showed me why it just wasn't worth it. I really appreciate someone who isn't just milking people for cash.

The vibe was welcoming and helpful! Anthony went to the back to get a quote he was also looking to see if he had the exact wheel match which he did. Unfortunately, the cost to repair it was more than the luggage so it couldn't justify fixing it, but there was a row of luggage that people had brought in ready to get repaired so this is the place to do it if you have a luggage you love and willing to spend the money to fix it. I would give the Customer Service here five stars. The interaction was very trustworthy and casual and I know they would have done a great job and stood by their workmanship.

They are honest, skilled, and affordable. Will continue coming back!

I came in to stretch my boots and when…read moreasked about the price, they gave me a wishy washy answer saying that they would need to see how difficult it is to stretch it, so they couldn't tell me the price. This is their tactic to make you pay more when you pickup so watch out. After a week, I came to pick up my shoes and one was more stretched than the other. The man tried to fix it on the spot but it still was a little less stretched than the other. At the end, they charged me $40 (and I COULD HEAR HIS WIFE YELL "NO, $50!!!" IN THE BACKGROUND). I told him my shoes were Sam Edelman bought at $42 only... and he yelled out, "No! They're expensive shoes! That's why I'm charging you $40 for them!" I ended up paying $40 with mediocre work. That was in 2019 by the way, so they probably charge more by now.
