Andy’s Cleaners

This is a hard review to write because the owners are really friendly and kind, however, I value these kinds of reviews and assume others will as well. First and foremost, they’re wildly over priced. I was charged 5 dollars per shirt, and they were normal men’s shirts. Not a suit or tuxedo, normal relatively casual button down shirts. Second of all, dry cleaning isn’t rocket science and places to take my laundry are a dime a dozen. You can’t give me back shirts MORE wrinkled than when I drop them off and think I won’t just go to the shop a block down the street. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Now I need to take my shirts somewhere that will actually get them cleaned and pressed and pay even more money so I don’t look homeless at work and the wedding I’m preparing for. Lastly, when I got home I found small bleach spatter on the back of one of my shirts. This particular shirt isn’t in production anymore so it’s literally irreplaceable, but now I won’t be wearing it for anything other than mucking around. The reviews for this mom and pop business are deceiving, but I think it’s because of how nice the owners are. It sucks to take my business elsewhere knowing this old couple could probably use it, but if you work hard for your money like I do, you can’t afford to waste it here.

I love this dry cleaners shop, I found them after paying an astronomical amount at Royal dry cleaners for a mediocre job. Andy’s exact opposite, they did way better work for a fraction of the price. They also helped me out when I was in a time crunch. I’m only going here for my dry cleaning needs.

Wonderful local dry cleaners run by a very kind and extremely hardworking couple. They have been working there for 30 years, and when I say they are hard working, you better believe it. I live right around the block and see them up working before I leave for work at 7am, and still working after 7pm…6 days a week. I work hard, but this is really hardcore. And I guarantee, any of the people who left negative snide reviews, don’t work even half as hard as this couple from Andy’s Cleaners.
This kind couple gets the job done. I got a suit tailored there and was very happy with the final result. I recommend this place for the nice local folks, and all the grumpy consumers can go elsewhere.

Andy’s is Kevin’s.
Well, at least for these last few decades. The Lee’s run this small business with sweet & personable attitudes!

Come on guys. My first time there I brought in two nice shirts to be cleaned. They don’t do the work there so it takes a couple extra days to get your stuff back. Okay whatever. Imagine this: you’re running late you put on your pants to your suit, socks and belt and you pull your shirt out of the dry cleaning bag and they completely broke a button in half and returned the shirt like that… I expect things like this from a $ 1 shirt dry cleaning but a $ 4.50 a shirt that’s not good. I had to change suits and get a new outfit ready for the day. Probably should of checked it when I was there but I just assume people have common sense. Their is no way the person didn’t see the cracked a button in half when they were pressing it. Also it’s cash only… We all know why that is…

Super friendly and fast! They even called me to tell me that my alteration items were done early! So that’s friendly & fast, right?

Just moved to LA & not only was the service impeccable but the owners are beyond friendly and really go out their way to make sure you’re a satisfied customer. They altered a cocktail dress of mine on VERY short notice and got it done in due time to perfection! They definitely gained a new long term customer! :)

I don’t even know where to begin. After doing a great deal of research on tailors on the westside, I decided to try Andy’s because of their high ratings. I gave them a ring before coming in, explaining I had a bridesmaid dress to hem a few inches and he quoted me $ 15 over the phone. It was a steal so I brought the dress in that morning and he said it would be $ 30 and explained the miscommunication. That was fine because the dress had two layers. I also brought in another dress that was one layer and just needed black stitching for hemming and he quoted me $ 20. So I told him that I would take the dress back and he gave me a discount of a total of $ 40 for two dresses. Andy said a week (the following Thursday) would be perfect time to pick them up since he was swamped with orders. I wasn’t in too much of a rush but i was skeptical walking out.
This Friday, morning I went to pick up my dresses and when I walked in, Andy was really friendly like he had remembered me from the week before. Right when I gave him my ticket, he found my order and quoted me $ 60! The receipt said $ 40 and he tried to change it to $ 50 because it took so long and it was hard to do the dress. The receipt said $ 40 and again he tried to explain that it took his wife so long to hem because the material kept slipping, etc. Then he said his wife worked 30 hours last night. umm I didn’t know there were 30 hours in a day now. So i asked him, I thought the dress was suppose to be ready on Thursday? I just came to pick it up the next day. Andy changes his wording and says «oooh that was for someone else, but your dress took just as long.»
Then his wife started chiming in about how hard the labor was. Geezus I ended up giving them an extra $ 5 so that they would stop talking to me. They looked really thankful, but «next time, it’s usually $ 60»
UGH! I don’t know if they thought because we were the same nationality that they could try and wrangle a few more bucks? I’ve never met anyone so blatantly shady and passive aggressive. Needless to say, I will NOT be returning.

The absolute best dry cleaners around. The owners take great care to provide the very best in service and are highly skilled at dry cleaning. Prices are very reasonable. I love the friendly owners!

I JUST got home from Andys, this was my first time I’ve ever had a alternation done here. I literally couldn’t be happier, the only down part is that when I dropped off the top and picked it up I had to say «Excuse Me?» Because I couldn’t tell of anyone was there, I bought a expensive designer handmade knitted Bra/​CropTop that ended up being see threw, disappointed I took it to Andy’s because sadly my regular place on Lincoln and pico closed. I assumed they were going to tell me they couldn’t fix it at all and I would just end up leaving due to it being handmade they had nothing to really work with, I wanted them to add some kind of sheer cover to the inside of the breast cup part so I could walk around on the beach without it being so see threw. We talked about it and he pulled out a super thin cloth that was exactly what I was trying to tell him I wanted but I couldn’t explain! I told him when I needed it by and he slowly said «ohhh nooo… we can’t do that» as he stared at the board he had with ALOT of alternations they had pending, I only gave them 5 days being that I dropped it off on the 11^th, I needed the top done today because I’m leaving for Hawaii at 5am tomorrow, so as you can imagine for a female it was very important to me but somehow his wife was able to get it done by when I wanted it! NOT ONLY THAT my expectations were not very high. I didn’t have high hope of them being able to do exactly what I wanted, I had a hard time explaining it to him. When I walked in to pick it up I handed him my receipt, he said «oh I hope you like it she had a really hard time with this one» so my heart kinda dropped, but I’ll be damned, IT CAME OUT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I love it. Thank You and your wife so much! I Will be coming back!

I was very disappointed with Andy’s cleaners. Perhaps it’s because I found them on Unilocal an shad such high expectations given their raving Unilocal reviews. I went in there with one skirt, one dress and one blazer. The skirt and dress needed to be taken in and needed alterations. I tried these on while the husband told me that they can do this job and total it will cost $ 30. Five days later I received a voicemail letting me know that they cannot do this job and he asked I come in so he can explain why. I called him back and he explained to him that I am returning his call… he claimed he never called me and I have the wrong number so he hung up. I called him right back and explained to him again why I was calling and he remembered and said I had to come in to see what happened. An apology for just hanging up on me would have been nice. I decided to wait till Friday to see the issue with the skirt since that is when the rest of the dry cleaning would be ready. Went in Friday and the husband is not there so I am dealing with the lady. She explains to me the skirt alterations can be done now for $ 45 and not the $ 30 they originally told me. I said that’s ok and that I’ll just pick up the rest of the dry cleaning I dropped off. She told me it wasn’t ready. They told me to come on Friday. I came Friday at 3pm and it wasn’t ready. She wouldn’t even let me take the blazer that was ready (dress was not ready) because it was on the same ticket. I would have appreciated them telling me Friday after a certain a time instead of just Friday. This is frustrating because
1– he hung up on me without allowing me to explain why I called.
2– they changed the price of the skirt alterations and in the end did not do the job
3– I was told to come Friday and the dry cleaning would be ready and only half the items were ready.
4– the lady wouldn’t let me take what was ready and told me to come back another day.
I understand that this may not happen often, but the way everything was handled was enough to warrant my decision in neither recommending Andys cleaners, nor coming back. An apology or a free dry cleaning for one item would have been sufficient but zero sympathy was offered. for someone who has been doing this for 32 years, I was very disappointed in their customer service.
Two stars, because at least two of my items were ready on Friday.

They deserve all the 5 out of 5 stars you see. Lovely family and glad they’re in business.

Such a kind couple, they greet you with enthusiasm and humor. My items were done right on time for my trip– and when I didn’t have quite enough cash they even knocked a couple dollars off the price. Would highly recommend!
*someone wrote something about their sign being neglected. Well it’s been replaced and looks brand new!

A little bit expensive compared to the tailors that I usually go to in Korea town but its so convenient that its totally worth the couple extra bucks. The owner is an old Korean gentleman whose English is impressive and will charm the pants off you. Literally! Haha I kid.
While I was there, a regular came in and he seems to really get along and know his customers well.
I brought in a garment with an unusual cut and he recommended against what I originally asked for while consulting his wife sewing alongside him. In the end, I was able to get an alteration that would not skew the natural design of the sweater and I think he helped me come to the right decision.

This is why I love Koreans. This old couple are very sweet and they did a great job with a pair of pants I brought in today. It was a hole in the crotch of about the size of a dime, well the put stitches from the top of the butt crack to the fly, which I think it’s great so I won’t get another hole in my crotch when I try on again these pants.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 20 years. I used to go to the place in the shopping ctr at Lincoln and Ocean Park, the cleaning was ok, but I get a lot of alterations and the streamstress there was mean… really mean, and didn’t do a good job either. I drove by Andy’s one day and decided to give them a try. have been more than happy with their services ever since. The drycleaning and launder services are good, but their alterations are fantastic!!! The way he patches my jeans is unbelievable… the best ever.
They are a real Mom and Pop shop with the most personal service and a real neighborhood jewel. No credit cards and the turn around on dry cleaning may be a day or 2 longer than big giant places, but turn around on alterations is shorter than most. This older couple truly cares about all their customers, they just don’t make them like this anymore.

Family run shop. Always prompt and do a great job with my clothing. Very friendly owners.

The owners are perfectly nice and friendly, which can be rare in LA. Unfortunately, that’s not in my top-​5 of getting clothes cleaned properly & picked-​up timely & easily.
Seriously, don’t go here if time matters. I’ve dropped off simple dress shirts that took nearly a week to be laundered (not dry-​cleaned). And boy are they chatty. When I asked if they could remove an under-​arm stain on a shirt, they said no … and I got a story about it. Besides the story, a «no» is unacceptable. Why? Because my new place does it (for an extra fee).
They launder the clothes off-​site which increases the chance for something to be lost in-​transit.
The broken store sign has to be considered. If they don’t care about their own sign, then how can I think they care about the cleanliness & care of my garments.
Lastly, watch out for the speeding Yummy trucks in that parking lot. Their dangerous driving reminded me of pizza drivers, except in vans.

I’ve hugged Kevin.
And anyone who knows me knows I’m not a huge hugger. Affection? Ick.
This man and his lovely wife have saved many a nice thing I own from the abyss of the trash can from all my clumsiness. Coffee stains. Grass stains. Pasta stains. Damn you, dry clean only clothes!
The one thing Kevin can’t do his magic on is sweat stains (hey hey, we ladies sweat too), so get some heavy duty deodorant or be prepared for the worst. Sadface.
Very reasonable prices, great service, and his name is not Andy.
