Fairlane Cleaners

Great dry cleaner! Super fair pricing, ready in a timely fashion. I like how they’ve treated all of my belongings, from gowns to down comforters. They are my official cleaner here in SD.

The worst service I have ever had! After dropping off 3 – 4 dresses to have dry cleaned, I went to pick them up the next day around noon. When I got my dresses back, one of them had a small tear in the front and was missing the wiring that held the bust portion of the dress together. When I asked to speak to a manager to try and have my dress fixed or get my money back, the older gentleman I assume owns the place proceeded to YELL at me. He told me that I was a liar, and called me «stupid woman». After I told him that this was the worst customer service I had ever received and that I would be making a formal complaint and that I would never give him my service again, THEN he decided to give a pathetic apology and gave me my money back. I will NEVER go to this place again and I highly recommend taking your business somewhere else!

I come here all the time and this place is wonderful. The service is great, reasonably priced, and the people are really nice! I was locked out of my car today while I was bringing my clothes in. I was running late to work and Tom, the owner came out to help me. He gave me a ride to work, picked me up after and even called AAA to get my keys out. Great service and incredibly kind people! Thank you!

i had a most unpleasant experience at Fairlane Cleaners this week. I forgot my yellow ticket and the clerk (sweet person) couldn’t find my clothes. When I spoke to the owner, a gruff sour man, he became outrageously defensive. This place is so antiquated with no computers or even a cash register. The girls have to add the amount on calculators!. He wouldn’t have problems with long lines and lost clothing if he joined the technological 21^st century. Of course, he is too chintzy and cheap to actually install modern equipment. Please don’t patronize this cleaners.

In by 10 out by 5 and they charge the same price for same day service. That is awesome!!! I’ve used Fairlane Cleaners for years and have always liked them. They are quick and efficient. I frequently use coupons from the pennysaver or from their website. My only tiny, tiny complaint is the customer service isn’t always that great. Most of the time, not always. It’s okay though, Fairlane will always be my go to cleaner.

I have been taking my clothing here for dry cleaning for years. They always do a great job. One time I completely forgot a suit there. They called me before putting it in storage. I was so very grateful because I needed it the next time I was expected to be on stage. I don’t pull a suit out of the closet till the night before. It would have been too late to buy a new one. I would have been in a sticky situation if they had not called.
Thank you, Fairlane!

Came here on monday, picked up on tuesday. Dropped off 3 slacks and a button up. The slacks were fine but the button up had a white mark smeared on the top right area that wasnt there before. I had to take it somewhere else to get redone. Friendly staff but wack job. They shouldve let me know or been careful and checked that everything was done appropiately when hanging it up. Never coming here again. Going back to my original cleaners across the street by vons.

Inexpensive dry cleaning, with very nice and hard-​working operators. They were able to get a tough stain out of my dress without damaging it and had my clothes ready, on time, and nicely dry cleaned! Would recommend.

I really wanted to like this place. I’ve been searching for new dry cleaners for a while now because I always seem to have some issues. I thought I found my new go to spot but just my luck, sh*t happens. Dropped off five shirts and seven pants for $ 30 something with next day pick up… great deal right? Went to pick my clothes up today and turns out their machine destroyed two of my favorite shirts!!! I was given a form to file claim so I can get reimbursed for my shirts. First of all I don’t remember how much I paid for those shirts. Secondly, I was planning on wearing those shirts for my upcoming Vegas bachelor’s party trip! Now I have to go out and buy new shirts to complete my outfit, thanks a lot farelane!
I really wanted to like this place… quick turn around and the young lady who helped me was nice and easy on the eyes. Oh well, lets see how long it takes them to pay me for my inconvenience. Only then, will I consider giving them another chance.

So far me and my family have been coming here for the past couple of months. I have to say we are satisfied with the service.
The fact that they have in by 10 and out by 5 is amazing. But even if you dont make the 10 am time, you can still get your clothes the next day!

Ive been coming to fairlane for the last 3 years now and have never been disappointed. Their prices have slowly risen over the past couple years but their quality keeps me coming back. I usually just get my shirts laundered for only 1.80 per article because I mainly just care about my shirts getting Ironed. But dry cleaning is about 3.25 I believe and I have never had an issue. As long as I point out key spots that I need cleaned they always get the job done.

In by 10, out by 5! Cheap and fast service. Creases look sharp! Never any problems. Friendly staff.

We moved away from this location, so I have tried several other places and keep coming back to this one, even though now it is out of the way. The girls are always so nice and courteous, the price is right and clothing comes out great. Even when they cannot remove a stain, an alert is placed on the clothing to point out the flaw. The scheduling is perfect and I can always time out a good pick up. I will not go anywhere else. Thank you for your services!

These people are great at what they do, and bonus points for timely quality work. I always try to avoid placing last minute deadlines on anyone for anything, because I think it shows a lack of personal planning and inconsideration for others. So I made a point to take a few pair of pants in to be dry cleaned, without a short deadline.
Yeah, I got them back in short order and the crease looked sharp enough to slice bread. Kudos to the good people there and their professional service. If you’re in La Mesa… or even if you aren’t, get thee self there and let the folks behind the counter take care of those fitted sheets, bridal gown, dress suits, etc.

Came at 11am on a wednesday to clean two items. Said they’d be ready for pick up the next day after 5pm.
Items:
Long black gown from my sorority’s formals = $ 6.00 (coupon not valid)
Lakers jersey = $ 3.00 (with coupon)

great, prices. great quality. in by 10am –out by 5pm. same day service.

Good prices and great service. I was hurrying to get there by close but got stuck in traffic. I called the store and they said they would stay open a few extra minutes for me.
It was great service and will keep me coming back just for doing a little above and beyond.

We come here to have our pants dry cleaned. Their pricing is typically $ 3.00 per item, which is really expensive for shirts, but very reasonable for everything else. They have a pre-​pay policy, which is fine, because when you come to pick up, you already paid!

Disclaimer: I didn’t actually get anything cleaned here.
I would give one star, but if I were getting something cleaned here, I’d be pleased with the price, so two stars.
I came here with my two spirithoods (google them). Basically, they’re faux fur hoods, lined with satin or cotton. If you wash them, they can lose their softness, and softness is the #1 reason of having/​wearing one. Dry cleaning is the common method of cleaning, and mine were really smelly (of campfire!).
So I come in, and spend a few minutes arguing with the woman about how they’re meant to be dry cleaned and she insists over and over again dry cleaning will ruin them. She shows me the tag, which she then realizes, says to dry clean.
I told her I’ll take them somewhere else.
I did. Maybe I’ll go here for a more regular garment, because it’s near my school and cheap. Maybe not. Her demeaner and insistence on being right when she was clearly not is my problem.
Oh, and they accept cards only if your charge is $ 10 or more!

I think I realized I should write a review on this place after having just dropped off my dry cleaning up here in NorCal.
When I lived in SD this place had a VERY convenient location. Seriously, walking distance. However, I quickly learned that Fairlane cleaners does not really have that much experience in dry cleaning (at least for male clothes?), specifically French cuffs.
I dropped off several shirts here while in SD and man… most of it was alright but I found the cuffs all all of the shirts were already FOLDED AND PRESSED, leaving a huge crease on the width of the cuff. It was particularly irritating I guess because I should have noticed before I left, but suffice it to say, I spent a lot of time ironing them straight again afterwards.
If I was still in San Diego, I would definitely find somewhere else.
