Juan’s Shoe Shine

Juan is one of the best boot shiners in the South Bay. I have taken my boots to the Galls down the street from here, and other law enforcement shoe shining shops, and Juan is simply the best. Mirror like finish that lasts you at least 2 weeks. I highly recommend Juan’s work up against another shoe shiner in the area!!!

Every time I have taken my shoes to this location, I have been treated with the outmost respect and courtesy. My boots are always exceptionally well done and for the low price of $ 6 dollars is the best deal in town.
I can’t speak for the bad reviews others have placed on this business but I can tell you that if you treat others with dignity and respect you will receive the same.
Amazing business, I am a customer for life.

This is my go to guy to get my gear shined. He is probably the best in the west coast! Good service great great prices. Definitely recommend!

This place is the WORST! First off the lady that works there is so rude! First they give me one price and then they give me another and she even insulted me by saying «might as well just buy new one’s.» So I go to pick them up and since I forgot my stub I cant take them home (even though they did noting too them.” Had to waste my gas 3 times just to go pick them up with no work done at all… never stepping foot into this place again and definitely warning people to stay away, this place is a joke.

Took in two purses to have accessories attached (a glasses case on one and a coin purse on the other). Another place did things like this for me for years at super prices and good work. This time, the rivets on the case are low, so it rolls forward, and the coin purse is so crooked, you can tell from down the street! No common sense used, and the price was quite a bit more than I ever paid at Alvin’s in the old days before they moved.

Juan is awesome. He does a fantastic job on boots or belts and the turn-​around time is super quick, too.
Juan specializes in Law Enforcement, so if you’re in that line of work, you can be guaranteed that Juan will do a good job for what you need. Boots is $ 6, duty belt is $ 14, so you can get the combo done for $ 20. That’s a good deal in my book.
The polish that Juan puts on is high quality. The shine on my equipment always lasts a long time, so long as you don’t walk all over yourself. Even if you do, a quick buff can usually get your gear back up to snuff.
Be aware, though, the shop is cash only.

Great shine, perfect, loved it! Dropped off my shoes on Fri. & picked them up Mon. As promised.

Just walked out of this place. Took my boots in and guy behind counter said he needed 2 hrs to complete but I had called before I drove there and he said they close at 3. So why won’t they be ready until tmwr, when you just told me they could do it today. So annoyed.

Anyone who has spent time in the military understands how time consuming and laborious it is to get a proper ‘inspection grade’ shoeshine.
If you are in the LAX area and want a shine you can literally see yourself in, the Juan’s is the place! On Manchester near the corner of Sepulveda, next to AAA Liquor store.
It is a secret every local law enforcement officer, Homeland Security Agent and others seem to already know about.
He has three bays and for $ 6.00 (I don’t have the heart to give him less than $ 10.00 for his stellar performance) you will never get a better shoeshine! Really… and if you do, I’d like to know about it.
Juan does not use that roll-​on crap that some other places use.
He strips, cleans and uses Lincoln professional brand waxes and creams everytime. No shortcuts.
He uses an industrial grade air dryer to get the wax just the right temperature before he does his buff to a glass shine. I walk out with blindingly shiny shoes that last me for up to two weeks sometimes. For those of you that sometimes walk on the tops of your shoes… you’ll be visiting more often.
Try him once and you will be hooked.
They also do shoe, bag, purse and leather repair by a nice elderly Mexican gentleman out of respect I just call ‘Papa’ …go figure… it’s a shoe repair place!
He is obviously so busy he hasn’t had the time to do a Unilocal!page… so I’ve decided to put him officially on the map.
THANKS JUAN!!!
