Quick Alterations

OMG! I came in with 4 high waisted jeans, 1 pair of jean shorts and a Mens Medium size shirt. All of my clothes look absolutely amazing and fit like a glove.
4 pair of jeans– I have a small sized waist, but have to buy M to L sized pants because of my hips and butt. All of my jeans were loose on my waist and would end up being baggy. Harjit (the owner) fixed all of my jeans and even shortened the crotch on one pair! They fit like a glove and I have been getting compliments non stop on how nice my jeans look on me. (btw– all were designer jeans)
1 pair of jean shorts– I bought these online, not knowing what size I needed. They were extremely loose on the waist and Harjit took them in. They look amazing now.
1 Mens Medium size shirt– I am going to a comedy show and bought the comedians t shirt, but all they had was a Men’s size M! I had no idea what to do to make it look cute. I brought it to Harjit and asked if she could take it in everywhere and make it a crop top. OMG, it looks SO cute! I can’t wait to wear it to the comedy show in a few days. She literally made a huge mens shirt into a cute, womens crop top and kept all of the graphics in place.
Harjit transformed all of my clothes and I have been wearing them non stop. I drive from SF every time I need anything fixed.
If you need a great seamstress to alter your clothes, definitely visit Quick Alterations!

I am really delayed in writing this but found the business card and remembered that I meant to write a review. That’s how impressed I was with this business.
June, 2014: my daughter is graduating from 8^th grade. The dress she bought at a shop in the mall is purchased. Night before graduation, daughter tries on the dress and the zipper breaks in a funky way. Neither my husband or I can fix it. We go to the store where we bought the dress at 8:30pm and they don’t know how to fix either. And of course they don’t have a replacement. Panic is setting in. This was a dress purchased after trying on I-don’t-know-how-many, there is no way to find another dress at this point.
8:45pm — we arrive at Quick Alterations after getting a card from the dress store. The card and the store sign say they are open until 8pm but someone is there and asks if she can help us. We explain the situation and within 30 minutes she had repaired the zipper (I don’t remember exactly what was wrong, the zipper didn’t need replacing but there was an amazing work-​around that Harjit did for us). When I ask «how much?» she says to pay what I’d like. How do you define priceless?
Next morning: daughter graduates happily in her repaired dress.

First of all this place should not be called «Quick» Alterations.
I’m new to the San Jose area and I came here early on a Thursday afternoon to get my uniform hemmed. They told me the earliest they could have it done was on Tuesday, when I needed it by Monday. They charged me an extra $ 5 and told me to come after 5 on Sunday and it would be ready for me.
I came on Monday afternoon and brought my receipt. The lady told me it wasn’t ready. I explained that it was supposed to be done and I even gave them extra time by coming on Monday instead of Sunday evening. She said «to make you happy I’ll have it done in 20 minutes». It took five days of me waiting, getting charged extra for it being done «early» and it took her 20 minutes to get the job done. They literally wait until the last minute to finish and do such a mediocre job. It cost $ 35 to do a basic hem. The customer service is horrible. I will never return, I’m sure there has to be much better places in the area.

COMPLETE FRAUD!!! EPIC FAIL!!!
We took a dress in to have 3 things done. Shorten the dress by 2″, shorten the shoulder straps by 1″, and close the cleavage 1″ higher. The lady told us that due to prom, it would take 3 weeks to complete these alterations and charged us up front $ 80. We came in today to pick up the dress around 12 only to be told that pickups were after 5pm. While being told this we noticed the dress hung up with the temporary pins from 3 weeks ago. SHE HADN’T EVEN STARTED!!! We got a text message saying the dress was done this afternoon and came in to try it on. The dress was shortened by 2″, the shoulder straps were shortened however the seam was now in the front instead of centered to the top of the shoulder and was still too long and the cleavage was done with a single thread.
We were furious and explained that this was bad business and would be filing a complaint with the BBB. Then they offered to fix it and drop it off at my house. LIKE HELL am I going to give you my address. Furthermore, you can’t fix this as they cut too much from one side of the seam. DRESS RUINED.
BOTTOM LINE: Do NOT use them and if you make the mistake to, don’t give them any money until they complete the job to your specs.

I have been a loyal customer for nearly 10-​years. I have had my uniforms, business suits, my sons pants & shorts altered here. I recently discovered that i was being charged additional taxes for brand new clothing i purchased in the mall and already paid sales taxes on. The owner apparently charges any customer an additional sales tax for clothes with the tags still attached. So, the owner is basically altering clothing items with the tags still attached and then selling the items back to the customer with additional re-​sale taxes included. Her prices for regular hemming seems okay $ 12. However, there is an additional charge for «Quick Alterations» ($ 10+) and additional charges if you cancel your order. I filed a customer affairs complaint and spoke with a state investigator about their business practices, involving their re-​sellers regulations.
Hopefully this business will change its direction and head out of business soon.
Quick Alterations doesn’t deserve a star because the owner lacks * Integrity * Loyalty * Honor *

Quick? Maybe if you consider waiting 7 days «quick». On a Monday was offered pants to be ready by Saturday, and those were just raw hem, meaning they literally just needed to cut them…16 $, plus 10 $ if I wanted them faster. $ 26 for pants they were cutting with scissors and I still had to wait practically a week. No thank you. They also told me I had to pay a 10 $ «cancellation fee» for changing my mind throughout this 2 minute process… SAVE YOUR MONEY– take your things to a real alterations place!

Quick and easy. Harjit did a great job on four pairs of pants for me. Would recommend!

Took a few shirts and pants for alteration, conveniently located in the mall. My observation was that: on the positive, she finished the job on time, and the quality of work was good. On the downside, she is a little pricey and asks for full payment upfront, no customer satisfaction guarantee. The handling was not satisfactory as she stapled a price tag on my jacket and caused point damage on the fabric. The business vibe is a little uncomfortable, something like what I see when I go overseas to other countries. All in all, 2 stars.

Took my new leather jacket in to get the sleeves shortened. Seemed a little pricey at first and was a little worried it wouldn’t look right. But to my surprise the jacket looked good couldn’t even tell where it was shortened. I also liked the fact that they called me to let me know it was ready.

horrible horrible horrible. i will never go back again. brought in a black dress to be hemmed. it was all crooked and longer on one side than the other. talked me into having it tapered thus charging me an additional $ 22.00. it was still not right, i will never wear it again, in fact i tossed it in the trash outside the store.
REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY! ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT A COUPLE TIMES AND STILL WAS NOT RIGHT. In the past had all my alterations done there. I am 5’1″ and will always be in the need of alterations and will take my business elsewhere…

I’m sorry to see the lower ratings, but my experience with this business has always been very pleasant. The owner is very sweet and is willing accommodate her customers. They’re always timely in getting the alterations as promised, and the alterations are done exactly as I want. Her prices have gone up, naturally to coincide with the down economy, but that is to be expected with all businesses. I’m very happy with their services and highly recommend them.

Dropped off my leather jacket to fix zipper. They said 2 days. One week later, still not fixed. They called me 3 times during the week. Once, Three days later, to let me know it needed a new zipper and that they couldnt just fix the pull, and would I mind a couple more days for them to order the zipper. Second, two more days later, they stated they got a silver zipper PULL and would the color silver be ok since it didnt match the color of the zipper. (I was under the impression the $ 70 I payed to have it fixed was to add a NEW zipper!) Third call, 2 more days later, was from the seamstress who stated she MAY be able to just put on the silver zipper and it might work. Yes, Thats what her employee told me 2 days ago. I told her it has already been 9 days, I am coming tomorrow to pick up my jacket and will take it elsewhere.
When I went to pick up my jacket today, the silver zipper pull was on my old zipper. They proceeded to tell me if I wiggle the pull up, it will work. If I just pull straight, the zipper will come apart.
DUHHH!!Wasnt that the reason I brought it in the first place? I want it working. NOT half working. And their name is «Quick Alterations»? NOPE.
Dont expect anything done correctly that needs any bit of effort. If you just want a hem, then yes. Dont expecty it in a timely manner. I asked if she can replace the zipper. It never got replaced and it took them 9 days to show me. I took the jacket without them refunding me my deposit. HORIBLE

I’ve brought in a few pants to be hemmed in the past. The price list up front says «jeans: $ 10» and «regular hem: $ 12» or something like that. I had two pants I needed to be hemmed. I had figured they’ll be either $ 10 or $ 12 at most. I tried on the pants, the lady marked the pants, we had a nice chat, then she told me they’ll be $ 16 each! I had spent enough time bringing them in, trying them on, etc. so I left them there, but they should list more accurate price list with details. The hemming job was okay, but I’d go somewhere else if I find somewhere better.

I stopped by today with a project I need a seamstress for. The seamstress gave me an incredibly high quote, but said to come back after 2:00 to speak with Harjit who could probably give me a better price. I came back after 2:00 but they said Harjit hadn’t showed up yet. Wish I could have given them the work, but I don’t have time to waste. I am giving one star because Unilocal requires at least one…

First time in my life I’ve ever had anything altered so I can only base my experience on this visit.
Anyway, I am flying out to a wedding tomorrow and needed to have some pants altered ASAP! I called and they told me that the hemming could be done same day at a nominal fee. ~$ 10.00. Anyway, they got to it right away and then called me about 45 minutes later to let me know it had been done. Tried them on and I looked great! errr I mean the pants looked great. So, great job Quick Alterations, I will go back again if I need anything done.

I’m not sure I’ll continue taking my clothing here. I dropped off a skirt on Saturday to be hemmed and taken in at the waist. I came on Thursday, the day I was told it should be ready. I tried it on, and although it was hemmed correctly and the waist had been taken in, the sides were not aligned therefore it ‘puffed’ on the sides. This was annoying because clearly the woman that pinned my skirt did so incorrectly. I was told the skirt should be ready on the following Monday.
I came back not on Monday, but Wednesday assuming the skirt was done. I thought it was odd that no one called me as was customary in the past. But when I arrived, my skirt was hanging there untouched and Harjit told me I shouldnt have come since he didnt call me. I told him him that it’s been a week and a half already and I was told the skirt would be done on Monday. I had an interview on Friday that I needed to wear the skirt, so I needed it done by tomorrow. He told me he would call tomorrow once it was finished.
The following day, I called around 6 to ask about my skirt. I was told that they were with a customer and she would call me right back. I was never called back, and after an hour and a half I called back. I heard whispers in the background when I called, Caller ID had identified me and I was on the line. Finally someone spoke up and they pretended like they didn’t know it was me that was calling. I was told the skirt would be ready in an hour, and 8:30 pm.
Harjit’s wife was there and she was nice enough to give me a coupon for a free pant hem for the whole situation, especially that no one called me back that night. However, I’m extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism and my boyfriend and I probably wont be coming back here any longer.

Convenient because they are open 7 days a week, but it can get pricey with the add-​ons. Trouser hems are $ 12, add $ 5 for same day service or $ 3 for next day. My straight leg slacks are over 10 inches in width, so the hem shot up to $ 16 plus $ 3 for next day service. Good work though.

The name speaks for itself. My fiancé and I have been coming here for 3 years to get our jeans hemmed and taken in on the waist and I’ve never had a complain about the quality or the service.

I never got in to this place, because the directions to get there didnt specify the mall. I pulled in where the address lead, but there was no parking because its on the same side of the mall as all the restaurants. There is no sign for the store on the outside of the mall. After trying to park for over 5 minutes I gave up and drove away.

I’ve been using Harjit’s services for years now. My pants/​jeans/​suits all go straight from store to her place. Awesome jobs on hemmings on pants. Reasonable prices for being a mall store.
Express can also be done while you shop, although I usually just drop off and pick up at a later time, save a little money.
Note: place is right by the post office, kids play land as people always ask, where is this place.
