I used to go here years ago for fast, friendly service with my Uniforms. Last week, like a previous reviewer said, I brought in a 100% silk Tommy Bahama shirt with around $125 with a couple small spots from Salsa it sustained in Puerto Vallarta. I left it for a week to give them extra time treating the shirt. It came back with the stains still as evident as the day I got them, not even cleaned a little. No note saying they couldn't fix it like they used to do, just bagged and returned. The worst part is, there were two new rips along the seams of both sleeves near the shoulders. They were very obvious but no one said anything. The lady at the counter was very rude and just brushed me off, the STILL charged me full price. I hate to say it, but this place is not what it used to be. Now I'm in search of a new dry cleaner that doesn't charge $6 to destroy an expensive silk shirt. read more

A friend brought in a Tommy Bahama shirt worth over $100. He asked it be dry cleaned, which is the ONLY way this shirt remains wearable. They washed it and it shrank. My friend asked to be reimbursed. They said "No...it's not our fault." Whose fault, oh Palm Dry Cleaners? Whose fault? Mistakes are always okay. Misleading, making light of a client's request and asking for nothing less than this owner would expect.....not okay. read more

They're thoughtless when it comes to the care of their customers' clothes. Mistakes happen from time to time but their mistakes come in droves. Additionally, when they make a mistake they never acknowledge it. Why does saying I'm sorry have to difficult? You screw up then take care of it. REMEMBER, THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! read more

Horrible experience with this business. They performed dry cleaning on a few shirts/jackets I took to them. After retrieving the items, I come home and a couple weeks later I take one of the shirts out only to notice that they completely ripped the shirt. This was not a cheap shirt and when I took it to them to complain they were unwilling to compensate for ripping this shirt! The people that work here are very rude, and the store is very filthy as well. Do not go here for dry cleaning, they will rip your clothes and call you a liar when you come back to them to complain. read more

Hi, I've been dealing with this marvellous Palms Cleaners for over 2 years now since I moved there. They are doing unequaled services including but not limited to dry clean, laundry, fluff and fold, alterations and much more. I usually visit the cleaners in the morning where I warmly welcomed by the morning shift man. He is a perfect spotting/cleaning expert especially that I constantly don't miss to drop off my clothes filled with terrible stains lol. Thus I strongly recommend this Cleaners. Look no further but the wonderful Palms Cleaners. read more

Truly Impressive Customer Service. I have been using this cleaners for awhile. I had an issue arise and the older man behind the counter called his son for help. They could have just stiffed me and blamed me. But they took full responsibility and paid me for my loss. I give 5-stars because it is so uncommon these days to see good service. It is so uncommon to see a son step in and solve a problem so his Dad doesn't get "stressed out". It is so uncommon for people to accept responsibility without some blow out fight first, any more. I like this a lot! Thank you Palm Cleaners, Saad, and Family. Tracee read more

I've been needing my new jeans hemmed for over a year. I passed by this place all the time and finally scheduled an appointment. I went in this morning at 9 am and picked up my jeans at noon. 3 pairs of jeans are all perfect! I'm so impressed with the quality of work she did. I'm definitely going back! read more

amazing services! their customer service was so amazing! they genuinely cared about my concerns with my dry cleaning, and they completely exceeded my expectation! also their pricing is so affordable! read more

Furthermore, they offer affordable prices compared to others plus a 20% special offer on Saturdays. Thank you very much Palm Cleaners cos you are the one of a kind. read more

Came here to get a bridesmaid dress pressed and cleaned. Very friendly staff and my dress was ready in a few days. Would recommend anyone to get their clothes dry cleaned here. read more

I brought my purse to Palm Cleaners for them to replace a zipper with the same gold color that was in it. We agreed on a price and date for me to pick it up. When I picked up the purse the zipper was silver not gold like the original one was. The manager tried to tell me, yes this IS gold. I told him, NO It is not gold it is silver and I wanted gold like was in it before. He stood there and was arguing with me! I told him I would take it if he would take $10.00 off the price. He was charging $25.00 for the job. He told me he wouldn't do that he would order the zipper and it would be ready Tuesday. I came in Tuesday the manager wasn't there and the zipper didn't come in. was told it would be a couple more days. Long story short I was in the store 7 or 8 times one time to see the owner who was supposed to be there at 2:30 and I arrived at 3:00 but the owner was already gone because he apparently only does a fly-by. Had another shout-out with Frank the manager about just giving me the purse as is! As I tried to grab it from him at this time they had it for 5 weeks! When the zipper was finally installed, gold I paid $15.00 and pick it up when Frank was not working! They had the purse for a total of 6 weeks - UNEXCEPABLE! I will NOT be going there ever again. The two ladies that work there are nice and I feel sorry for them that they have to work for such an idiot. read more

BEWARE!! I brought a bridesmaid dress here to be altered. I feel so scammed it's not even funny. The dress was too long, so I called and they said they could have it done in just a couple days. Great! I took my dress in and the guy at the front said that the lady who does the alterations was not there, but he would pin it for her. Okay cool. I put the dress on and he pins about a foot long section in the front of the dress. My mom told the guy that it was too short, so she helped him pin it. He said "Okay, its good take it off" so I did just that. Gave him the dress and he said it's $40 because it's three layers. Hmm okay. I wouldn't have enough time to find someone else so I agreed. I went to pick up my dress about 4 days later. He didn't have me try it on and since it was pouring rain and I just wanted to get home, I didn't ask. I paid the $40 and left. When I got home I tried the dress on and just started laughing. YOU GUYS, they only hemmed the front foot long section he pinned. I paid FOURTY DOLLARS for a foot long section of hem. Honorary mentions: *The two slip layers were two different lengths *The stitch was hideous *The sides of the dress were so long that I kept stepping on them. Luckily my grandmother was able to re cut the dress and hem it for me the day before the wedding. DONT EVER TAKE YOUR CLOTHES TO GET ALTERATIONS HERE, you might end up with one pant leg hemmed and the other one not.... read more

I try to avoid giving negative reviews but aw man this place really dropped the ball. We dropped of some curtains to have them hemmed up a few inches. When I got the curtains home we were very surprised to see how uneven they were. I took them back and asked them to please re do and try and fix. After the second time of them messing up our curtains we gave up and just asked for a refund.They did begrudgingly return our money. I hope they dry clean better than they hem clothes. I won't be going back to find out read more

Needing to have a few items dry cleaned and looking for something close and convenient, I came across Palm Cleaners. I had seen this place a few times given its close proximity to the nearby Mexican restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was much less expensive than the place I had been utilizing. I was greeted by the friendly man behind the counter and I was in and out in a matter of just a minute or two. I pre-paid for the added convenience when picking up my items when ready. The service was friendly, fast and affordable. I have utilized Palm Cleaners several times and will continue to go back for all of my dry cleaning needs. Located near Greenfield and Main, Palm Cleaners is conveniently located just off of Interstate 8 in El Cajon. read more

I dropped off a wool sweater to get dry cleaned and it's has come back shrunk and is now unwearable. How do you shrink my wool sweater dry cleaning it when dry cleaning does not use water? You did not even let me know you shrunk my sweater. I had to find out about it myself at home. If you make a mistake like this and ruin a 500$ sweater you should own it! read more

Great service + Cheap Prices! I can't ask for more... You can tell this mom n pop type shop is family owned and all the employees are pretty helpful, friendly, and engaging. I've been dropping off my dirty laundry here ever since they've opened! Can't make it out there as much since I've moved but definitely try making it out there, you won't be sorry you did! read more

I'm so disappointed with the quality of work from this place. I only dry clean clothes I don't want to ruin on my own and cost me a lot of money. When I picked up my clothing and got home I noticed one of my shirts was melted and completely ruined. They didn't even bother to let me know (which cost me a lot) and still charged me. I will ever come back to this place. read more

They've shrunk the majority of my dress shirts, so they've obviously been washing my clothes instead of dry cleaning them like requested. I got dress shirts back with broken and missing buttons. And the worst part is your clothes smell terrible when returned. Will never use this place again read more

Lina was awesome! She was friendly, helpful and she did an awesome job on my alterations! Fred was very friendly and helpful. Decent prices for everything. Definitely worth it and I will be back! read more

When Sam owned Palm cleaners this was the Dry Cleaner to go to. Great customer service and are great guy. Since he sold the store has slowly gone down hill. In the last 2 weeks my shirts have come back with missing buttons and look like they were not cleaned or pressed. looking for a new dry cleaners, starting today. read more

Horrible. I took in a suede dress for a tiny oil stain and not only did they not remove the stain- the whole dress had turned light red and the stain area was dark black. If I could give 0 stars I would. And the worst part is that they did not even apologize or ask to compensate for their horrible job. No recognition they said they would try to run it in one more time- it's been over a month and I have not heard from them again. read more

I cannot thank the husband and wife that work here enough! I needed an alteration done fast and after trying to go to four other cleaners with no one to help me someone recommended I go to Palm cleaners. I walked in and they were the nicest people ever and completely helped me out fast! They did a great job and finished in 15 minutes they even made me delicious coffee while I waited! And we chatted about our children. I will never go to another cleaner again because of the positive experience I had with this couple. I am over the top happy with my experience. read more

Would never recommend them!!! Took my husband kenzo t-shirt to get cleaned! The shirts are white! I don't usually like washing those at home since there a little sensitive with the material. Took them never was I told that there could be a possibility of the shirts getting damaged! As my husband picked them up and came home he tells me are you sure they cleaned them cause there were stains there! I don't think it would be normal for someone to take in $200 t-shirts to get them dry cleaned and had the intentions of getting them dirty! Went back to to them and informed them of the damage! With sarcasm the old man tells me yes sorry there was damage to the shirt and tells me that's why we've added a red sticker! I said excuse me!! What is a red sticker going to do for me? So I asked if there is anything they could do. He said unfortunately not since it's a white T-shirt that usually would Be the case of the my husbands $200 T-shirt getting ruined. So we got into a little argument trying to see if they take responsibility of the damages they've made, NOPE!!! Don't even think about it! He actually sits there and tells me why would you even bring a white T-shirt you know very well that it's going to get ruined, why didn't you just wash it at home! I just stood there speechless! I have never ever heard such a response from a business owner! I would definitely not recommend them!! As he stated you could just wash your clothes at home and not depend on them to ruin your cloths! Definitely taking them to court! With such bad customer service!!! Please except a law suit :) read more

Be aware that if you drop off a comforter for cleaning, it will be washed, not dry cleaned. I had always had good results with my dry cleaning, but my expensive, heavy comforter was ruined. I was told "sorry". read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I brought a dress that I used to a wedding and when I picked it up it had a horrible onion like smell. I told the guy I wanted a refund and he said he can only give me $5 and I paid $15. He ended up giving me $10 but I will never be coming back. I ended up washing the dress myself at home in a lingerie bag and covered up the beads so they wouldn't come out and it came out better and smelling good than the dry cleaners. If you bring anything in smell it before you walk out. read more

Great service on Both alterations and Laundry special thanks to Lina who does the alteration work she did a great job with my clothes needs. Polite and excellent service. My clothes come back clean without any chemical smell of most dry cleaners, the return time is convenient ....easy 5 stars! read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!! The service is so bad I can't believe they are still in business. The older gentleman that helped me was so rude to me in front of other customers. Please people, Don't go to this place. There are other Dry Cleaners in El Cajon, this people don't deserve our business, Thank you. read more

One of the best, if the not the BEST cleaners in all of San Diego. They clean my clothes really well, and my clothes always smells great. They have really professional person for alteration. The most thing i like about this place is the owner he is really friendly, nice, and he always smiles when his customers enter. One time he didn't charge me because of how many times i visit this place. Overall i really recommend this place to everybody who is looking for a good cleaner read more

I never thought I would get the ink stain out of my favorite dress but I was willing to give this new place a try. I was happy and appreciative to see that I couldn't even point out where the stain used to be. I'll be using palm cleaners for my dry cleaning from now on ... Thank you to the staff! They were really friendly.... read more

Taken out a few tough stains for me. Fast and cheerful service blocks from my home. Give them your dirty clothes. You'll be happy.

I work at the 99c store that are really by it so basically I have to collect the cart from our side hour every day at this hour that owner came out and gave me cake. The other day he gave me blava. I really would go to him just cause of how a nice personality he have. These days we are missing these kind of feeling. Thx a lot U really made my day! Best cleaner read more

Just started going to this dry cleaner. I really like it. Prices are reasonable and the man at the counter is always super nice.

They saved me, my daughter's cheer uniform came in a little snug (She is 9 and hates tight clothes). It would take too long to send it back and get a new one so I asked around everyone recommended this place I showed up on a Friday morning with a crazy request of having it done by sat afternoon I really thought it was not going to happen but she agreed with a smile on her face. I am so grateful for this place put a smile on my little girls face. read more

I needed a local cleaner close to work.The gentlement working up front was very friendly and humble. My Skirt was ready when it was supposed to be and he even gave me a first time customer discount. The same gentlemen was there both times I went, I am guessing he is the owner. read more

I've been a customer here since 2013 and I just want to say the prices are the best in the county of San Diego. More importantly, the quality of service and how they treat my clothes is first class. I definitely endorse this establishment and suggest that you do business here! read more
