Speedi’s Dry Cleaners

Bad service and have bad experience in this place I bring some clothes when I came for that surprise mi clothes is in damages

I recently took my dry cleaning and was surprised at how fast, clean and perfect my dry clean was! Especially the employee i forgot her name but she answered all my questions and helped me with a button that was missing on my blouse. Will definitely be back. :)

Ya know… locating a decent dry cleaners is similar to locating a decent barber…
Hard to find, but an UNDENIABLE commodity once obtained ^ ^ ^.
That stated, this review is LONGGGG overdue (sorry guys). I stumbled upon Speedi’s well over 2 years ago within my forage for pleated perfection. I swear, I’m cynical as hell when it comes to dry cleaning.
I want creases, stitches, starch, hemming and well… let’s just say that I’ve developed a bit of a reputation from Palm Springs throughout the Temescal Valley and LA County.
It bewilders me why some places, offering the EXACT same service, CHARGE A FORTUNE!!! I mean, really. For the prices I’ve dished out within the past, I could’ve purchased a brand new shirt altogether!!!
I recall, years ago, paying upwards of $ 2 – 3.00 per dress shirt simply for laundering ONLY TO pay additionally… per shirt, for starch!!!
Are you kidding me???
Correct me if I’m wrong, but dry cleaning is supposed to be a convenience, NOT an overpriced service bearing awkward hours all the while displaying subpar customer service.
That stated, fellow Unilocalers, I’m here to tell you that this place is THE TRUTH!!! ——
Located on 4^th and Elm within DTLB (Downtown Long Beach) sits this gem of a place and they’ve developed quite a befitting reputation for outstanding care of your threads all the while remaining fairly priced.
So…GET THIS:
I was recently informed that air conditioning isn’t all too practical within any dry cleaners, thus explaining why most of these places are hotter than Lucifer’s pitchfork!
Apparently the a/​c reverses the steam process resulting in wrinkles and/​or the plastic used to wrap around your apparel is to deter dust and reduce moisture.
To further it, and while I’ve been leaving my clothes within the plastic, evidently doing so can result in yellowing from moisture impurity and chemical residue.
WT-​HELL???
I feel like now is the time to insert an NBC network «The More Your Know» gif. I have clearly been slippin’ on my pimpin’! I’m adding ANOTHER STAR just because Lord knows I’m not the one to survive without some sort of a/​c!!!
Code RED!!! Pimp down!!!
Back on track though, aside of their affordability, I chose these guys because they are ORGANIC and use NO chemicals within the process of their cleaning!!! To further it all, aside of providing outstanding customer service, they perform ALTERATIONS «in house» and aren’t required to send garments to a 3^rd party.
This, ^ ^ ^ is a DEFINITE plus!
Laura is the absolute beez-​neez (Whitney Houston voice, «Lovvve herrr! Yazzz!») and has repaired a number of pant zippers for me (what can I say? I keep a full crotch).
(…sighs) I’m relocating closer to my office within the next few days and it saddens me that I’ll no longer be able to frequent Speedi’s. I feel as if I’m losing family (…cues that Cyndi Lauper «Time After Time» song…)
I suppose I’ll reconvene my scavenge for hydrocarbonated stain removal perfection once again…

Just moved to LB and dreaded finding a new cleaner but was presently surprised after giving this dry cleaner a try. They do a great job with my laundered dress shirts (i’m picky), are very friendly and reasonably priced. I rarely need my cleaning in a hurry so I cant speak to how «Speedi» they are but they always give me the option to have my order ready sooner if I like.

I was thoroughly pleased with the service I received here over the past three years living in Long Beach. The first time I came in, Laura took my information down and put me in the system. She never needed to ask my name again. Many times, she would even grab my clothes when she saw me parking and have them ready for me by the time I walked in. Although I’m not much for conversation, I would always see the staff engaged in conversation with any of their customers that were looking for it. Finally, to top it off, the prices were very competitive. I’ve gone to a number of different dry cleaning businesses over the years, but this one is bar far the best.

Great prices, great customer service, great location! This is my go-​to cleaners and hemming spot, located in downtown lb, one block over from Berlin Café. Love it!

These guys are great! Fair prices and awesome work. Never had any bad experiences with them yet. Did I mention easy location that makes for a quick stop?

This place rules! It’s the epitome of a friendly, neighborhood business. There are beautiful two young ladies who work there that know me by name and always greet me with a warm smile. Their prices and service are the best in town. And believe me, I’ve shopped around and had some really bad experiences elsewhere.
Their turnaround time is super quick and I’m always able to get in and out whenever I’m in a hurry. I’ve been going there for years and have trusted them with a variety of mending, tailoring and Laura has always been able to assist me at a more-​than-​reasonable price.
I don’t often write reviews but I recognize and respect quality service and a good local business when I find one.

Service was awful. My clothes were not ready as promised and the clerk didn’t seem to care. I won’t be back.

I really wanted to like Speedi’s but often they are not open at 7am as advertised. Several times in the last two weeks I have gone there at 7:10am and the shop is still closed, no notes or anything. I unfortunately don’t get home before they close in the evening so my only opportunity to see them is when I leave for work in the morning. My shirts were done ok and no real complaints about the actually cleaning part. Don’t have enough shirts to last me to wait to do a drop off and pickup once a week on a Saturday. Maybe I need to get more shirts…

We love this place, they are friendly and quick and always do a great job on my BF’s suits and police academy uniforms. Twice I’ve called them in a panic at 6:50pm, 10 minutes before closing because I forgot to pick something that BF needed the next day and both times they have stayed open 5 – 10 minutes late to let me get there in time to pick up my items, great service if you ask me!

Amazing customer service! Amazing Prices! I really love this little shop! I had some pants that needed mending and a few things that needed pressing. The girls here are really sweet and caring! I felt very relaxed and comfortable talking to them. My clothes came out great! Customer for life!

I thought I would give these guys another chance and took a dress to be altered. I requested they save the extra cloth which i thought was a simple request (instructions were marked on paperwork). However, when I picked up the dress they not only threw away the extra cloth, they also tried to charge me for dry cleaning I did not request. I will not utilize their services again!

Great place to get your dry cleaners! Excellent customer service! Very patient and very polite owner. I recently took my work clothes to get it dry clean and they stayed until 7:10 pm to wait for me to get there to get my clothes. She was very nice! Great easy place to find and affordable. Clothes looked spectacular! Thanks for the assistance!

Close to my work place, same day service if in by 10 am. I just picked up my first load. 3 jeans and a crewneck. Looks good. One of the jeans had a rough night. Sorry guys. But all in all I’ll be back for my cleaning needs. Total for 3 jeans and a crewneck, 15 bucks.

Love this place! The service is friendly and very timely since it is a very small operation. Hardly ever a wait. There are very few dry cleaners in this area, so this is a joy to me. Very inexpensive as well. The way they fold their shirts are amazing. My only issue of late is now they charge $ 1.00 if you use a debit card and only if your order is under $ 10.00. Watch their dry cleaning to get spots out… not the best but I am a customer for life for «press only» and shirt laundry.

I took three coats there one time. Two of them were returned to me without the buttons. And the nicest one, a black coat, had not been cleaned at all. When I showed the dirty parts to the lady in charge, she said they don’t dry clean there, that they send the dry cleaning pieces to a different place, and they had probably forgotten to put spot removal on it. Weird! That was my experience, hope you have better luck!

No don’t do it! They young lady who helped me was extremely nice and I feel bad for writing this but it must be said. Upon receiving back my sweater it had more stains than when I originally handed it over. She cheerfully said they’d redo it. I then received a burnt wool sweater! A sewing repair on silkthe pajama pants fixed alright but upon receiving a new tear on the other side that I didn’t notice until I got home. The fixed another seam on a pair of jeans ok. Never again

I love this place! I’ve gone there many times for alterations and dry cleaning. They have great customer service and always have everything ready on time. Once I took a vintage ivory and red sweater there to get some stains fixed but the red bleed all over the sweater but even tho my sweater was kinda ruined they offered to do everything the could to fix and it was free of charge! I’ve also had many of my clothes altered there and they are always perfect. This place is great and I wouldn’t recommend any other place!

Good service, good prices, and quick turnaround… I take a lot of shirts and have been very impressed so far…
