I brought in a brand new trench coat that needed to be taken in on the sides and shortened. The…read morecharge was higher than I would have loved, but fair. Here's where the issue may have started - Pedro (I believe was his name) asked me to keep/hold onto my trench coats belt, so I did. I was told it wouldn't be a week for the alteration. Overall it would be a weeks wait, which for the work was reasonable I guess. I came back that Wednesday, at 3pm, and was told it wouldn't be ready until 5. Which leads me to believe it was finally being worked on that morning/afternoon. Again fine, as long as it was done right and not a rush job. Since I was there I prepaid so I could pick it up on my walk past the shop in a few hours. Unfortunately, upon getting home I realized they removed the belt loops to take it in and didn't put them back. I tried calling but by the time I had tried it on at home they were closed already. Went back the next morning at 9 when they open and they were closed with a sign they'd be back at 11. Showed up at 1050, since I needed it fixed asap. I had to wait a bit for Pedro to get back to the store to speak with me, but he remembered me and had my belt loops saved in the back, he'd just forgotten to put them back on. He was able to fix it same day, and now my jackets great and fits like a glove. They're close, seem fairly priced, and did good work once it was done correctly so I will give them another shot for sure.

"How did this ever happen??!", noticing a buttonhole that needed a small amount of repair. She automatically took the shirts and hung them up on her to-do rack making it somewhat uncomfortable for me to say thanks, but no thanks. It was then I wanted to know how much the bill would be, and she replied $24. I then grabbed the shirts off of her rack and bid her a good day. I have seen this same tactic used at different types of repair shops where the owner overly dramatizes what needs to be done and takes possession of the item prior to discussing the charge or getting approval. In sales that's called the assumptive close, where they act as though they assume you will approve the work and pay their price for the very minimal effort required. Don't fall for it. I have just now received a response from the lady's husband indicating that I must have visited a different shop and mistakenly thought I was in theirs. Absolutely not possible as I've been in several times in the past. Perhaps showing the shirts will refresh her memory and also defend my own. For full disclosure, the green shirt does have a small half-inch rip on the back side.

I found Maria on Saturday evening and was told I'd be able to drop the dress off Sunday and get it back Tuesday evening. I was so grateful. Drove to her, tried the dress on, she pinned it to mark where it needed alteration. 2 days later on Tuesday evening it was ready, just as she had said. I went back, tried it on and it is fantastic. Fits so much better and she did such a great job. You can barely even tell anything was altered by looking at it except for a tiny amount of thread on the inside of the dress which is a tiny bit darker than the original thread. Maria was super friendly, chatty, showed me some of the other things she'd done and was currently working on. She had just started on some sofa cushion covers which looked great. Grateful for her flexible schedule, that she was able to accommodate my alteration on short notice and that she did such a great job. Pricing was also standard compared to the other places I had seen and very reasonable. I'd definitely recommend.

The first couple of times we used their fluff and fold service it was decent enough, other than getting a random extra pair of boxers that weren't mine and a couple of other peoples t-shirts... The last time we used them, they gave us back thrift store clothes and kept our actual clothes... John, the owner shared with me he had continued to employ a drug addict who has done this before. He was so sorry and embarrassed and wanted to know how to make it right for us... We agreed that we'd try to asses the value of what we lost and let John know. This was an amicable enough call. He seemed dejected and sad but expressed a desire to make it right. Fast forward two months now and John and his wife Kelly have patronized and attempted to pacify me multiple times with multiple excuses on why they weren't honoring John's own request to compensate us for our losses. Neither has even offered a refund. It's hard to tell fact from fiction, but it is clear their goal is to brush losing $750 worth of my wardrobe under the rug. I've waited over two months for compensation, and even offered a reduced settlement price as an olive branch to show I recognize running a business can be costly and difficult. The staff all seem to say the same things about John and Kelly, they are rude and short with people and try to undercut pay and etc. It shouldn't be a surprise that after the business makes a mistake they accept zero accountability and word for word today told me: "What are you going to do, sue us for $750? Go ahead!" Okay. ‍ Needless to say, I don't think people like them should be able to be in charge of other people's careers let alone run a business. Avoid at all costs.
