Hi-Tech Cleaners

Worst service I have ever had. I would give them zero starts, but that’s not an option on Unilocal.When I first went in, I asked for a total price for my 7 pieces, 5 for dry cleaning, and 3 to be mended, and the lady refused to give me a price. She wouldn’t even give me a price for the dry cleaning for each piece. She just kept saying it depends and it would take too long to total it up. Well now I know why! When I went back over a week later because that’s how long it took, my bill was ridiculously high! I asked for a price list to explain to me how it could possibly cost so much for only 7 pieces and a few mending jobs, and of course, there’s no price list. The man told me that it’s $ 8 per piece to be dry cleaned, and $ 10 for each piece mended. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard of dry cleaning costing so much! That’s exactly why there is not a price list! I will never go here again and highly suggest no one else does either!

Gave this place a shot after driving by it so many times and the verdict is this: there will be no return visits. Went there twice. The first time was for slacks. Six bucks plus tax. Is almost seven bucks. This seems exorbitant to me. Six and some change for one pair of slacks? I don’t know. I paid the lady, regarding her silently. The second time I brought in two items, slacks again and a shirt. How much for starch. Fifty cents. No kidding. The other place kinda throws it in. I declined the starch. It was only a cheap tux shirt. Few days later the items are ready and the total came to nearly twelve dollars. For two things. To my mind this number should be under ten bucks. This would make me a happy, returning customer. You’re on the expensive side, aren’t you, I whined in my limited Korean using the word «bee-​sahl» (too much). The lady got all flinty-​eyed as I’d turned into an adversary. Mildly offended that she had to endure this line of questioning she mumbled something about her sky-​high lease and the rising cost of chemicals. Barely listening I called up Sun’s Cleaners where I used to go regularly but not so much anymore as it was clear across town. With the phone on speaker I asked Sun’s how much slacks were. Under five bucks the friendly voice says. Shirts are three and change. Both items were a full dollar or more higher at Hi-​Tech. A full dollar. The lady stood there unimpressed and awaiting payment. It took a few minutes to locate my things because they write all the slips by hand. Hey, computers cost money. This system, while quaint, punishes you for forgetting your slip which I DO EVERY TIME and had done so this time. Finally she found the index card with Jim T on it and the total. I paid her and left, feeling fleeced by a short charlatan. It was then I noticed a rack of clothing of the sad variety long abandoned by their owners. Everything on the rack was five dollars.
