Lakewood Fabricare Dry Cleaners

I called around for prices to get my wedding dress dry cleaned and preserved. Fabricare offered to do so for the most competitive price, so I took a visit! I was impressed by everything I saw. Plenty of parking, a large, open storefront, another happy customer waiting, and a super friendly woman who helped me. (It didn’t hurt that she «ooh’d» and «ahh’d» over my choice of dress, either.) :)
It took about a week and I paid half day of, half upon pick-​up. They did a BEAUTIFUL job, and I LOVE their preservation box! It is white with a velcro lift door to see the clear frame. (See photo attached.) My dress is clean and ready to put in the closet; however I love that anytime I want to, I can open that little door and see my dress displayed beautifully.
On the outside is a matching white keepsake box with sheen offering further protection.
I would recommend this family-​run business to anyone. Also! It doesn’t hurt that the best donut shop in town, Original House of Donuts, is right next door… YAY.

I brought in my sisters wedding dress which was a little bit complicated for the ordinary person to steam clean and remove wrinkles from. They did an excellent job. I asked if they could get it done fast as the wedding was a few days away and they were able to do it with a small charge. It was well worth it.
If I need anything done with my cloths I’ll bring it here. As for the other racist members review… the road goes both ways… if your a prick your gonna get bad service anywhere. If you can’t keep race out of a review… your shouldn’t post it.

Have you ever been the person on the outside of an inside joke that no one explained? Weird huh? Well for some reason some shop owners think its funny or even proper to switch to their native language to curse or insult others when there is nothing funny or professional about it.
I dropped off 4 pairs of dress pants to adjust pants length and the waist. The lady at the counter seemed nice and took my measurements and everything seemed fine. When I came back the price was more than I was told but in my mind figured I guess I get what I pay for. I went home and tried on the pants and the waist adjustments were off. I mean so much that I could walk around and the pants would fall off. I called them and told them they did not reduce the size enough and the woman on the phone very bluntly asked me if I was sure. Um… yeah. She then coarsely said I had to bring back in so they could see them again. I come in and the woman that waited on me asked if I had lost weight. No. She then said she asked if the measurements were right on the one pair of pants she measured and I told her that when she measured it before it was much tighter around the waist and would not have told her yes on pants that sagged.
Another woman came to the front and very rudely walked up to me and said what’s your problem. I told her, calmly, and she proceeded to yank my pants up and around and speaking in Chinese about Lord knows what. She then resumes her English and accuses me of not knowing how to wear pants. I look at her like I am on Punk’d I mean does she think I’m a rapper who doesn’t know how to wear pants? Does she see Beyonce on my arm?! Did I interrupt Taylor Swift? Not all people have high water butts who enjoy the feel of a all day wedgie. She then tries to forceably yank off my jacket when I finally tell her don’t do that again. I told her its one thing to ask a customer to take something off but to rudely try to yank something off and tug all the while cursing and fussing in Chinese… not cool. She then has me try on each pants and yanks and tugs each pants almost to make it the most uncomfortable experience ever and confirms each measurements. At the end she gets in my face and says this is the last time… next time you pay! I stand there at 6′ at this 5’1 lady who clearly has anger issues get my receipt and walk out. I pick up my pants the next week with them basically tossing the pants at me to get me out.
Overall, any non english speaking culture who own businesses but speak in your native tongue when your upset just stop it… seriously. You not only look unprofessional and out of touch but you look like fools and cruel. Certain ethnic groups do not want to be walking stereotypes but for some reason you cherish the one about rude service, chilly personality, and speaking in tongues when your upset. I paid $ 126 for this work so of course I want it done right. If you get upset for your error I can just imagine how you act once its the customers fault. Do NOT let the original fake niceness fool you… I would never come back here again as well as friends and family and only gave them a one star because I had to.
Sayonara!
