Entering the automotive program was a big deal for me, as i didn't know pretty much anything about…read morevehicles when i started. a few months in while i did very well at the program i realized this wasn't the place for me to be at. The main instructor was in my eyes a very big " bully " between threatening me with expulsion countless times for things other students where saying, and constantly talking down to me in a rude manner. Constantly being told this was not a " Safe Place " for " Little Fairy's ". I decided to leave PCI for greener pastors and save my money for a place that cares about its students instead of protect someone who should not be in the teaching field. When reporting this teacher multiple times to the office, i was told " This isn't High school and i should get over it " The other instructor who was abit older was very much like-able and was willing to teach you anything you wanted to know. while the main teacher would sit and watch for 2 - 3 hours an then just do it himself with out teaching a thing. I do not recommend this trade at this school, save your money an go somewhere where you are respected and valued.

During the school year, we have gone through 5, that's five, instructors. I can see why there is such a large turnover, there is never enough material for lab, and nearly all the equipment and devices are completely smoked. For the hefty price tag of 33k a year one would expect some a. continuity of learning b. a lab space that is conducive to actually learning, which it is not. The tool boxes that they have for use during the labs are gutted, and the tools that go missing or break, are simply not replaced. Many students end up bringing in their own tools, just to get through the labs. On top of all of this, the material that they "teach" the students is outdated, hailing from the 2020 code book, when we are a year into the 2023 code book. Now mind you, why are we learning old material? Well the director has said, hey you've got a new code book and the old stuff, you can just reference your new code book for the actual answers, whereas all the testing is done through the old material. I'm telling you right now, do not waste your money on this school. It is a waste of time and effort for an education with no help to gain employment and to where you will learn old material. I would recommend trying to get into the local electrical union or try Wayne Griffen for your education. At least there you are given a job right off the bat and an up to date education that will help you in your journey to becoming an journeyman electrician. Good luck and if you do end up coming to this school, you will certainly regret it within a few weeks.

I had to call in the beginning of May for my September wedding and she had to squeeze me in then. So call 5 months before your big day or sooner. She booked 4 appointments for me, and a final appointment for pick up and how to show my maid of honor how to bustle my dress. She might look a little disorganized, but that is just her way of doing things. My wedding dress came out perfect. The only problem was my dress was so heavy the bustle did come undone at my reception but this was my fault for stepping on the dress and ripping some of the button's thread.. I had emergency thread and able to fix it... most dresses would not have this problem, but if you're waking in uneven grass just make sure to lift up the dress and watch your step. Either way, I looked perfect in the dress and that's all that mattered. She has great communication, always verified next appointments and texted me if she needed any questions answered or updates on when my dress was ready. Ursula is a very sweet lady, and always trying to appease. I would definitely recommend to anyone. She's actually a master tailor, took 8 years of schooling... her perfection and attention to detail is on point. She was very helpful with veil selection and advice for bridal fashion. She also helped me find a new rhinestone appliqué piece for the bodice that was nicer than the one the dress came with! Just call really early to book!

As soon as I met her, her warmth and personality shone through. She truly cares about you as a customer and takes genuine care in making your dress look amazing on your body. I had a challenging dress shade and wasn't able to find a veil to match. When she heard this, she suggested that I let her figure out the veil part. She took it upon herself to find the perfect fabric and lining. In the end, she crafted a GORGEOUS veil that would have cost me hundreds of dollars if I went elsewhere. Now I have a beautiful keepsake that you couldn't find anywhere else. My dress fit like a glove, and I felt beautiful. Her rates were very affordable, and I think she should honestly charge more because her craftsmanship was so good. She does run a dry cleaning shop at the same time, so while she *does* give you individualized attention, do be prepared for her to have to pause for taking phone calls and taking dry cleaning drop offs. If you consider yourself to be a "bridezilla" who can't stand an interruption or two, then this might not be the place for you. If you want to work with a wonderful and talented seamstress who's gonna make you look like a queen, see Ula.

Wash your clothes by hand if you must, but avoid using this service at all cost. My clothes were not only not ready by their promise time, but they were at the wrong location, returned in their original condition, and I was NOT refunded. Absolutely disgraceful. 3/25/24: As a first time customer, I went to the Westfield st location to clean two white coats for work (I'm a registered pharmacist). Upon entering the location, I was greeted with an extremely cold energy, courtesy of the front lady Tiana. There was no acknowledgment, which is fair as there was a lady in front of me. I waited in line as I watched her handle the customer in front of me attentively and sweetly for over 10min. No problems, however, when it was my turn, it was clear there was a shift in her mannerisms. She avoided eye contact, took personal phone calls while handling me, and was all around disrespectful in my opinion. As a young black professional, I pay attention to these behaviors especially when they are so sharply different from what I saw with the previous lady (white, middle age). She assured me my coats would be ready for pickup the following day at 4:30pm. Fast forward to today, 3/26/24. I get to the location and the delivery man / co-owner it seems, Rodrigo. Takes my name and notifies me that they made a mistake, and my coats are still at the cleaning location. He gave me his number and said he would pick them up and bring them, but it was close to closing, and I had a feeling this was NOT a reliable business. I followed him to the location just for him to walk out, shoulders shrugged, cowardly muttering "Looks like we couldn't get to them tonight" holding my two dirty coats. I made it clear that this was unacceptable, and he offers the first half-cooked apology I received this whole experience and a "cash app" refund. In my discussing of this unprofessionalism, Rodrigo had what appeared to be a mild breakdown as he discussed the stress he's been under with two daughters, one of which he felt the need to mention was black, since I myself am a young black man. Disgraceful. As a personal message to you and this business, if you want to be a respected father, respect yourself first. Take accountability. Take care of your customers. Please DM me for details as I am currently in the beginning stages of court proceedings (as I was not given a proper refund, and will be missing work) but to summarize, this is a terrible business that does NOT respect its customers. Luckily, my jacket maintains a recording device that has this whole interaction. Final notes: Tiana, (Westfield st front lady) please treat all your customers with an equal level respect. Young or old. Black or white. Nonverbal communication speaks volumes. Rodrigo, you're 36 with a family. You don't strike me as a terrible person, but the way you handled this situation was honestly disgraceful. We all make mistakes. It's in how we handle it that makes all the difference.
