Alterations To Go

I don’t recommend coming here if you value your time and clothing, I used to come here for years and the work was excellent with the Korean lady who used to run this place, with the new people who run this shop they’ve done some absolutely sloppy and terrible work on my clothing, I’ve had to return multiple times for simple hem jobs on pants and this place has turned into a joke. Save your time, money and clothing by going somewhere else

I am a baseball umpire and have many pants hemmed here. I have had to bring back three different pairs of pants because, either, the hem was only done on half of the pant leg or the hem somehow came undone. The last two times I have come back, the young lady behind the counter tells me that I need to be careful when putting on my pants. I have not received one apology on three times I have had to come back. This is ridiculous. I will not be coming back.

NEVER EVER AGAIN!
I brought in my dress at 10:30 am on a Friday to have the straps altered by an inch. The Manager (Rose) took my dress and said she could have it ready by 5 pm. When I came back that afternoon to pick it up the straps were poorly sewn and had orange stains. My dress is a baby pink so of course an orange stain is completely visible. When I started complaining about the stains looking like someone had been eating hot Cheetos while handling the dress a younger lady that also works there started raising her voice at me proclaiming that no one there eats hot Cheetos. Very unprofessional to raise her voice to a client who could potentially bring more items to your small business. I explained to Rose that if the dress was soiled while being handled by the person who did the alteration why didn’t they have it cleaned up before I came in to pick it up. I specifically told Rose in the morning when I dropped of the dress that I needed same day service because I was leaving out of the town the next day in the morning for a party I was attending. Rose had the audacity to tell me to bring my dress back after the party and she would clean it for free. That’s great and all but I needed it to be clean BEFORE the party and not AFTER.
If you are going to run a business then do it right or don’t do it all. Don’t give your client a half lazy job.

Always very nice. Usually in and out within 5 – 10 minutes. If you don’t like the way you look after the alteration just let them know. They don’t have a problem fixing it for you. They also have dry cleaning service here too.

One hour hemming for $ 10. There was no extra charge since they were not busy. Two changing rooms with mirrors. And staff onsite to do rush jobs. 5 stars all the way. (one of the hem looked as if it would come loose in a few months and she said if it does she’ll take care of it no additional charge.

Life Savers!
As a pregnant bride, I had difficulty finding a wedding dress that I loved and fit my growing belly. I finally found the perfect dress 5 days before my city hall wedding. I was worried that I wasn’t going to have it ready by my wedding day (since it was too long (double layered) and needed to be taken in on top as well).
The ladies that helped me were very kind and they made it happen! I am truly grateful, it fit perfectly!

The workers are nice. I bought in my Burberry’s sweater in for dry clean after my daughter spilled food on my sweater. They charged me $ 5 to have it dried clean twice cause the stained wouldn’t come out. They apologized stating they couldn’t get it out without ruining my sweater. I was glad they try and make every effort to get it out.

I bought a wedding dress that was a size (10?) and I’m a size (2 or 4) and she was able to take it all in! Magic!

Went in last Saturday night at 5:30 for alterations I needed for the same night. They were closing at 6 and even though I dropped in with a very difficult and time consuming project they still took it and stayed in after the closing time and didn’t leave until they finished and I was satisfied. Truly the best service I’ve experienced in a very long time! They sure have my business now! I will definitely use them again for fast and amazing alterations!!!

Mimi and her staff are very nice have never let me down. They always have our clothes ready in a couple of days. THANKS!

Found them on Unilocal since the other seamstress in town (also found on Unilocal) was completely rude and not helpful at all.
I called first to see if she could accommodate what I needed which was for a dress to be let out within a few days for a wedding I was going to be in. (This was over a holiday weekend too.) She/​they really bent over backwards to make sure my dress was at least ready for the wedding although she wouldn’t promise that it would be perfect. At this point, I just wanted it to stay on my body long enough for pictures!
It was perfect! They did an amazing job, and I will be back!

I’m going to update this review when I visit the store to pick up my suit. Getting my men’s suit taken in and sleeves lengthened. I’m 6 feet and less than 130, so obviously it’s impossible to find things off the rack to fit. Looked around on Unilocal and decided on ATG.
So on my visit into the store it seemed fine, small location in the Fremont Hub, well lit inside. I told the girl at the counter what I needed to do to my jacket and she pinned it up with the older woman who is the owner. I’m social and an easy customer so I find it easy to feel comfortable with the people at the businesses I visit, these two ladies were extremely polite and joking with me as they were back there pinning. I hadn’t had any of my suits fitted before so they made it a good experience.
After the pinning was done they had me pay since apparently you prepay at this tailor. 45 dollars to take in the body of my suit jacket, 25 for the sleeves. She asks you when you need the item by, if you don’t care then tell her and she knows not to be getting grays hairs stressing and rushing on it. But she accepted a walk-​in rush order right before I left, so if you are having an emergency situation she obviously can do it. Will tell you how it went after I pick it up, can’t wait to see it

I had a bridesmaid dress that I needed to get altered & make bigger a week & a half before the wedding. The woman at the front was very nice & helpful. She said they would add 4 inches to the sides of the dress near the bust. The only problem was that neither of us had the fabric needed. They found fabric that was a little lighter than the dress, and I agreed anyhow.
I was a little nervous to see the dress, especially since this was the first time that I had gotten something altered. I came back 8 days later, and to my surprise, they found one that matched the dress exactly. I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. It looked absolutely beautiful, and you couldn’t even tell that I had gotten the dress altered even though the fabric was made of two different materials. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who needs alterations. They’re completely professional, helpful, & quick.

Alterations To Go is simply amazing! My friend and I came in right before the store closed and the woman behind the counter had no problem assisting us. We had a very unusual request with resizing a football jersey that was ordered online & came too big. We had another to use as a reference and she told us it would be done in a week. The alteration work was paid in advanced and we hoped for the best.
We picked it up a few days ago and it was perfect! The seams matched up, there wasn’t anything strikingly obvious that we had it altered. We left happy customers and we will be back!

Came in on a Saturday to get my wedding dress altered. The top was a bit big and the waist a little tight. After trying it on the ladies talked and showed me what they could do and gave me options. Told me that it would be done in a week. Went back today and got the dress and it’s absolutely perfect! Highly recommend! Place is a little small, but well worth it.

My daughter’s prom dress was held up in customs of all places and I had to write a letter to plead for it’s release! The dress came in the day before the prom and it did not fit! Alterations To Go absolutely came to the rescue! They were able to adjust my daughter’s dress and had it ready overnight just in time for the prom. The seamstress had done a great job with the alteration and it only cost $ 40! I have had slacks, jeans and blouses (ripped cuff) repaired as well, all were done well. Alterations To Go is a lifesaver!

Let me say this. Sometimes people and businesses deserve a second chance. My last review was nasty and because I was being an a$$hole. I am sorry and hope to come in again and to have work done again.

I brought two womens suit jackets here to have the sleeves hemmed. The cuffs had decorative buttons and «buttonhole» stitching (they’re the same style, one in black and one in gray). The shop owner indicated that they would have to move buttons, which sounded fine, as I assumed that they would move the necessary buttons above the existing ones and replicate the stitching.
Apparently their idea of «moving» buttons involved completely removing the buttons and stitching, then unevenly and poorly stitch them back on higher. The material where the buttons were is COMPLETELY RUINED — you can see where the stitching was and it looks awful. Plus they couldn’t even bother to put the buttons on straight or well — on one jacket they are falling off already!
The lady refused to give me a refund, insisted it looked fine, and even accused me of pulling the buttons off myself! I am livid. Now I have to go spend another $ 150 on each jacket, and the $ 50 I spent on the alterations is also wasted. I should have just left the sleeves long!

TIP: Fast, friendly, and quality work. $ 10 to hem one pair of pants – and I got it back the same day.
I called before I went in to check their prices and they’re the cheapest around for same-​day service. Drove over, tried the pants on, the woman working there pinned the pants to the right length, I took the pants off and gave them to her, and went my way. I went in at 10am and they were ready for pickup at 6pm.
The pants were hemmed perfectly! Recommended.

Hesitant about altering some designer jeans, I came to Alterations To Go with nervousness despite the stellar Unilocal reviews. I can now vouch for these guys in saying that they do an awesome job, so fear not!
I got two jeans cut short and hemmed with the basic hem for $ 10/​ea. They charge $ 20/​ea for leaving intact the original hem.
They know what their doing and do a clean job, so I’m definitely coming back for future alteration needs!
Oh, and the jeans were ready the following day — a huge plus if you need something pronto!
P. S. You do have to pay upon dropping off the clothes, but that wasn’t a problem for me. I’m not sure why others are griping about such an insignificant detail.
