Piedmont Ave Cleaners

They gave us someone else’s laundry and have a weird system keeping track (read not) of whose is who.

Been bringing my business to Quan for 3 years now, always a great job on my clothes and excellent customer service. There is no reason to go any other place in Oakland, Piedmont Ave Cleaners is the best.

This is not just dry cleaning. They also do sneaker cleaning, leather cleaning, tailoring, watch repair — you name it. Its invaluable to have a place that can make life easier in terms of getting your watch going again, hem a dress for a wedding last minute, and dry clean a jacket before the opera. This is that kind of place. We all need Piedmont Avenue Cleaners in our wheel house! Definitely recommend. Quan and Milo are neighborhood staples too!

Also — just to update the review, my clothes smell AWFUL. I’m not sure if they were cleaned at all. Might ask for a refund but not optimistic given how rude the owner was during my initial visit. Can’t believe I spent almost $ 100 there having nice dresses cleaned.

Great experience here! The service is always friendly. Convenient location, price is right. Won’t be taking my dry cleaning anywhere else. Thanks Quan!

Piedmont Ave Cleaners is the only place to go. Quan knows his business– he treats his customers extremely well. His prices are also extremely fair. I recommend highly!!’

Piedmont Ave Cleaners has excellent prices and service. The owner Quan is knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. I just found out they also clean sneakers. Gave them a shot and was blown away! I brought some sneakers that I thought were a done deal after spilling all sorts of things on them at a recent barbecue. They brought them back to life! Thanks PIEDMONT CLEANERS!

My clothes are cleaned after either a day or two (all depending on if you make it by 10am) and in excellent condition. Rates are fairly priced. Finding a cleaners to replace Dependables in Boston has been a challenge. This is the one! Quan, the owner runs the joint. Good dude.

Friendly environment, fast service. Owner has become a good friend. Don’t forget to say hi to the dog Milo. So cute!

Meh…
I gave this place a shot a couple of times. Both times my items — silk tops, dresses, cotton t-​shirts, came back not so spiffy. I’m not sure if Quan does the dry cleaning there, or if he subs it out, but it has a distinct look of super cheap hole-​in-​the-​wall cleaners. Here’s why:
The seams and pressing was always off. Like puckered, crooked, or twisted. The material around the buttons was furrowed to the point of losing my buttons. I get it if one or two pieces are off, maybe creased in the wrong spot, but every single item?!
Some of the silk pieces have odd grease spots in places that didn’t have spots before, really?! Common, guys…
I expect that stuff from a cheap corner shop, but from a place that charges high prices for sub par service, that’s just not going to cut it.
Oh, and if you want another piece of friendly business advice, how about staying open to match the posted hours. People use a dry cleaners because of convenience. He lost my business because he was only there half the time I showed up, but I’m glad he wasn’t open because it forced me to look around and when I did, I finally found a good cleaners.

Got my Raiders jersey cleaned here and picked it up today. Quan was in the house, as welcoming and personable as ever, and the jersey was impeccable. Plus the price was right!

I have been bringing my clothes here for years now. I love this place because the owner, Quan, is such a nice and genuine guy. Everyone walking by or stopping in knows the guy!
My clothes are always clean and he makes sure I get them when I need them. He has a nice dog too.

Honest, friendly service here, and very good prices. Unfortunately, a lot of my clothes come back still smelling like sweat/​body odor. I will definitely still use them for tailoring and shoe repair, but for actual dry cleaning I’m going to have to try somewhere else.

I will only bring my clothes to Quan for tailoring/​alterations and my dry cleaning! Very accommodating and timely. Now they have a watch repair guy who works there too. Kinda like a one stop shop!

I don’t Unilocal often but I had to for this establishment. I am very, very pleased with some alterations I had done and the prices are unbeatable anywhere else. I got fantastic customer service and would recommend this place to any and everyone. You won’t be sorry.

This place does dry cleaning, shoe repair and tailoring. My review is for the tailor. I brought in a pair of pants to be hemmed and a shirt I needed taken in at the waist. Pants were fine. Shirt was awful. The first time I picked up the shirt, the bust was taken in, not the waist, so the front buttons gapped at the bust and the waist was still wide — but now also uneven. The owner had the tailor try to fix it. To fix the now-​too-​small bust, the tailor had to sew in new fabric in triangles under the arms. And again, rather than taking in the waist, this time it was taken it at the hips — so now the bottom buttons don’t close. It was a brand new $ 70 shirt, and it’s ruined. (For the record, he did not charge me for the failed alterations, and I did not request he pay for the shirt.) Maybe I’ll try them out as a dry cleaners, but I won’t trust them again with alterations.

I’m looking for a dry cleaner in my neighborhood and thought I’d try Piedmont Ave Cleaners from the reviews on Unilocal.I went there today (6÷26÷14) at 8:47 a.m. The door was locked and no one seemed to be inside. The posted hours said the business opens at 8:30 a.m. I waited two minutes and left – a lost opportunity for new business.

I would never have imagined myself writing a review for a dry cleaners (to me they are all the same, but i was wrong!)
–I used to live in the area, so I purchased a Unilocal deal $ 50 for $ 25 good choice I might add.
–Quality: impeccable ! Spot on clean suits and shirts, looking brand new.
–Service is great and the owner is a young cool guy that is very friendly!
–I have never had an issue with this place.
This is my go to spot if I need something dry cleaned In the East Bay.

Simply, Quan has lost my skirt and hasn’t done anything about it. I’m not going to be doing business here again.
I wish I was making this up – but then finally, the last time I spoke with him, he had the audacity to tell me my skirt that he had «was ugly, anyway». I guess that was supposed to convince me that it didn’t matter that he had lost my skirt.

Went at 8:30, not open. Came back at 8:55, still not open.
I’m inclined to believe James R.‘s review in light of this.
