Advance Dry Cleaners

Let me start by saying my experience here wasn’t bad. I got all my clothes cleaned and everything I needed. However, I just thought the prices were ridiculous. The price per tie and per dress shirt are nearly unattainable for a college student who needs to do this often. The discount is nice but he will not remind you of it/​apply it if you don’t bring it to his attention. Even with it, it is still too much. I just think that the prices here are way too high. Nothing against their cleaning process, which for me went smoothly and I had all my clothes ready when they said they would be.

Do not come to this place if you want your dry cleaning done right. They job here is horrible and the owner just really rude when you complaint about the finished products. DO NOT COME HERE. Don’t waste your money here.

Dry cleaning always come out great, but alterations not so much. I recently had the sleeves of two shirts shortened. During measurements, they looked great, but I didn’t realize until I got home after I picked them up that the sleeves were shortened too much.
In retrospect, I should have asked them to tailor one shirt, see how it turned out, and then decide if I wanted them to tailor the other one.

Owners are the friendliest of people! They were able offer me pick up the day after despite me coming in 3 minutes before they close! Highly recommend!

A very bad experience with them, they altered my trousers to a wrong size, and I didn’t know that until I got home. After I found the problem, I went back to tell them the problem, and they promised to make the size right for free, but when I went back to pick it up next week, the owner said that it is impossible for them to make this kind of mistake and kept asking me to «listen to him», but never gave me any chance to talk, and his attitude was VERY VERY VERY RUDE.
The worst experience ever, and they end up with charging me twice.

Needed graduation gown steamed and pressed. Perfect in two hours at a cheap price. Reviewed 5he price list and they also do lbs of laundry for a very reasonable price. Meets all my dry cleaning/​mending/​clothes cleaning needs!

Really close to USC, clean, cheap, machines that work, & not crowded. This is my absolute favorite laundromat.

This place is great! The employees are always very nice and my suit always comes back clean and ready to go. I have also had them make some alterations to my suit and hem a pair of my jeans. Both came out perfect. The prices are great, especially with the Unilocal check-​in 20% off deal. As a USC student, the location and service make Advance Cleaners my go to dry cleaners.

Totally mortified with the service here. I brought a brand-​new, never-​been-​worn, direct from the online retailer dress here for a quick alteration. When picking up the dress, it seemed ok in their dark lighting. However, after getting home and viewing the dress in a normal light, there was 2 MASSIVE brown stains on a starch white dress. I called Advance Cleaners multiple times during business hours as I drove back there before their 7pm closing time. They were already closed, PRIOR to their said closing time.
I’m incredibly disappointed with this service and will only be returning to Advance Cleaners once — to get my money back.

Great prices and service.

Great prices, friendly service, would definitely recommend.

Timely work, affordable pricing, and most important excellent service. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to this dry cleaners for a couple years now and have nothing but great things to say. Quality, timely work, friendly staff, and great customer service. I’d recommend this place to family and friends.

I would give this spot 3 ½ stars if I could, but I’m giving it four because of the excellent service.
My only major critique is that I would not recommend bringing dress shirts here. I have a white dress shirt that I often bring to be cleaned with my suit. I’ve never had a problem with my suits, but the shirts always come back with a very strong clay-​like odor. I even pointed this out and asked for it to be recleaned, but it was returned the next day with the same foul odor, and it didn’t fade away until I washed it myself.
Other than that, it’s a good store. The lady behind the counter is very sweet and helpful. Service is prompt; I’ve never waited more than two days and they are always on time. The clay-​odor only occurs with my shirts; my suits have always returned perfectly clean with no problems. So if you’re looking for a quick spot to get something dry cleaned, this is a safe bet. Just don’t bring your dress shirts!

This is a great business! They’re very quick and well-​priced. The employees are friendly and always willing to answer questions. I bring my military uniforms here, and they always do a great job. There has never been a line when I’ve come, and it’s proximity to USC makes it ideal for students.
I’d recommend this to any college student on a budget looking for a great quality dry cleaner. They even offer discounts (coupons) for USC students!

Ironically, didn’t start coming here until after I graduated USC. Started working full-​time and needed to find a good place to get my dress shirts and pants cleaned properly. Since they were across the street, I decided to give them a chance.
Inside the cleaners is really nice. There are pictures of different USC teams, greek life, and other collegiate related things that really help the place stand out and make students or alumni feel welcome.
Have nothing but good things to say about the service. Anytime I bring my clothes here, I always get a two day return time no matter the amount of clothes I drop off! Price seems reasonable for what I usually have cleaned (dress shirts, suits, and jeans mostly). I haven’t needed to do repairs or stain removal yet, but I will update my review after I have experience with this.

I spilled black coffee on my favorite dress as I was getting out of the car for an all-​day conference at USC. Luckily, I always have an emergency outfit in my car. I Unilocaled the nearest dry cleaner and found this wonderful spot, which was super close to USC.
The staff was incredible and calmed me down, assuring that coffee wouldn’t ruin my beautiful Kate Spade number. I told them I needed it for a cocktail event after the conference. The lady promised she’d call me as soon as it was ready. I got my call and came back in the evening and the dress was in perfect condition, ready to debut itself at the event.
I was so impressed by the fast service, great prices, and customer service. I’ve actually left tons of expensive clothing behind because dry cleaners never bother to call. This is a great exception and I’d highly recommend this if you live in the area or work downtown. They even offer coupons/​discounts for USC students!

LOVE Advance Cleaners. Now these people know how to run a business. With GREAT customer service and excellent work there’s no doubt ill continue to take my business to them. After seeing how other cleaners did such a poor job and never really get the job done I’ll never take AC for granted. The pricing is great for a college student like myself who’s buried with expenses and debt. Already recommended this place to family and friends and they’re truley satisfied!
Unilocal should create a 6^th star for business like Advance Cleaners
FIGHT ON AC!

The lady is really nice and they have friendly customer service, but they are SO expensive and they’ve ruined two ties of mine during the drycleaning process.
Laundering an oxford shirt is $ 3, drycleaning is $ 4 — what a rip off.

This is definitely my new go-​to dry cleaner. I brought in my pea coat, which was pretty disgusting after not having been cleaned for over a year, and they returned it to me looking better than it did when I bought it. They told me it’d be ready in three days, but I didn’t have time to pick it up until a week later, and they never bothered me with phone calls as other places have done before.
The service was great. I couldn’t find the USC students coupon because I don’t have the latest version of the SCampus (it’s in the back of the 2009 SCampus, for those who are curious), but the guy at the counter printed it out for me so I could make copies for the next time I come back. It came out to only $ 9 with the discount, which was less than I was expecting.
