Medlin-Davis Cleaners

Excellent service. Excellent job

DO NOT GO HERE
1) They are extremely overpriced. There are numerous other cleaners in the area that can produce the same, low-​quality results as Medlin-​Davis… for a quarter of the price. Use one of them and at least it won’t sting as badly when you’re appalled at the results.
Obviously, overpriced services and sub-​par results are not enough to justify a one-​star rating, which leads me to my next point…
2) DO NOT GO HERE…
They broke the button on a suit my husband had worn once… fine, it happens. But they failed to mention that they broke the button, so we had to find out when we took the suit out at home. When we proceeded to bring the suit back and point out what they obviously knew they had done, they «graciously» offered to fix it free of charge. How very kind.
After having a week to fix the button, my husband returns to pick up his suit tonight and obviously takes a look to make sure they actually fixed it. Well, they did put a new button on, but it was clearly not the same button (and if my husband was able to notice that it was a different button, then that’s definitely an indication of how far off they actually were). When he pointed this out to the owner, he was told to hold the suit farther away and he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
When my husband offered to provide him with the local company that made his suit so they could find the correct button, the owner stated that this company was owned by his brother and he knew that’s who made the suit. He then suggested that my husband reach out to the tailor (aka the owner’s BROTHER) and find the button himself. I’m assuming he realized how ridiculous this sounded after it came out of his mouth, because he then proceeded to say «or maybe I could call him.»
That’s where things left off and he has our number, so I guess we’ll see what happens…
**If the owner happens to follow through on rectifying the situation, I will edit this review.

Our clothes always cleaned well. Enjoy the door to door service! Great, timely service as always! Thanks, Tim!

The service is impeccable. The quality of the cleaning never ceases to impress.

Too expensive! I brought 9 items to be cleaned including two dresses, two sweaters, a few tops and a few pants, $ 95. I was shocked at the prices. The employee explained that some were luxury items and required extra work and attention. Not the case. Everything was from JCrew and the items were not hard to clean fabrics. Will definitely be looking for a new dry cleaner.

Very friendly staff and quality service. Reasonable pricing and conveniently located in the Cameron Village location.

I came here because they do same day cleaning. I dropped off a pair of tuxedo pants at 8am Friday morning for same day pickup. I came back Saturday morning and the attendant claimed they weren’t ready because of spots which was not true. I told her I had chosen 1 day service to then she tells me that the woman who entered them in had waited until 2:30pm to clock the pants in. Then I had to go searching through the bins of pants to find my pants since I had to have them tonight. The woman never apologized or offered to give me a discount or to please come again and get them laundered for free. Needless to say I will not be returning.

This place always has a quick turn around around for getting your garments back. I have some pretty yucky stains they have been able to get out. They have also been able to do some simple alterations for me such as button see ons and hemming. No complaints!

All of the Associates here are courteous and tended to me quickly. The seamstress Susan does great work with hemming and whatever tailoring needs you may have. They even did an amazing job preserving my wedding dress.

We love the delivery service they offer, makes it so easy and convenient!

Too expensive. Long lines. Lost my clothes and then found one piece (dropped off 3) and it took a few days to have them find the others plus headaches (had to argue with them that there were two other pieces). They gave me a $ 10 gift card to make up for the mistake which was kinda nice but I would rather have not went through that experience. Anyway, I do like their drive thru option.

I’ve always been able to count on Medlin Davis not to ruin my clothes but apparently not at an affordable price.
I brought 7 garments in to be dry cleaned, nothing out of the ordinary or difficult to dry clean, 3 silk dress shirts, a skirt, and 3 dresses and the price tag was $ 95… needless to say, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

I used to work here about 6 years ago. The dress code policy was stringent, the code of conduct bar was set high and professionalism and respect for customers was high priority. That is not the case now. I just went in there and boy have things changed. The tailor had her kid there with her at work, the manager was having a screaming fight with one of the employees, and everyone was dressed in street clothes. The place was in disarray, one of the employees was treating a woman in front of me with rude cynicism and I was hesitant to leave my garments with this motley crew of hooligans. The location is convenient, and that was enough for me to not want to go elsewhere this time, but I’ll be on the lookout for a dry cleaners with a little self respect next time around.

I am only using this laundry mat because I do not have a washer or dryer at my apartment. I am moving into a house in two months with a brand new washer ad dryer and can’t not wait til this day! This laundry mat had been nothing but disappointing!!! The dryers and washers are constantly broken and on top of that they are charging more to wash now. The staff seems to not really care. I would say pretty awful customer service, never once have they apologized for being inconvenience by the washer or dryer being broken. It does not seem to phase them at all when a machine is broken! I can not say enough how happy I am that moving in two months and will have my own washer and dryer!

First, the dry cleaning has always been absolutely stellar, so no complaints there — only praise for Medlin Davis (amazing staff, quick service, reasonable & competitive pricing).
But this review is mostly for the tailor that rents space at Medlin, Sosan, who I cannot say enough good things about.
I brought a Burberry trench coat in that had been close to destroyed (really, it was a disaster) by «Alternations by Christina» on Wade Avenue (note that Christina is NOT associated with the Medlin Davis that her shop is next to out by the Whole Foods).
Sosan and her husband have worked a MIRACLE to fix my trench coat. They took what was an extremely sloppy and inept job on Christina’s part, completely reconstructed the coat (which was no easy task), and it now fits like a glove.
Both Sosan and her husband (I believe he is the tailor at Nowell’s Menswear in North Raleigh), have YEARS of experience, and are incredibly talented. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with them, and their care of my coat.
I would trust Sosan and her team with any and all of my garments for tailoring work, and truly cannot say enough good things. Eternally grateful for their help in fixing a botched job on one of my favorite jackets.

I brought in an heirloom wedding gown that my grandmother AND mother both wore at their weddings and that I was hoping to wear at my wedding. I was sure that this yellowing old dress was hopeless. Tina was very friendly and honest and told me all of the risks of cleaning the dress, but that she was confident it could be white again. I told her to «go for it!» and she turned a sweet tea colored old dress into a brand new white one at a very reasonable price. Thank you, Medlin-​Davis cleaners!

Convenient hours, free wifi (their saving grace), reasonable washing machine prices but drop off prices are a bit much. Coin-​operated washers don’t fill all the way and driers are 25¢ for only 5 min. I’ve had clothes smell funny coming out of them as well.
FYI– They refrain from placing «Out of Order» signs on inoperable machines. Make sure you check to make sure they’re working properly, especially the driers. The owners will just let you continue to put quarters in.

I brought a dress in to have the zipper handle replaced. I returned when told to pick it up, an entire week later (for a zipper handle?), and they had taken the entire zipper off! They tried to give it to me but I pointed out that a) it was not in the specific written directions to remove the zipper, and b) they didn’t put a new zipper on to fix it anyways. When I came back a week later to pick it up, the zipper was a mess and my dress was ripped. What a disaster.
This is by far my worst experience at MD but in general I have never been pleased with their services. Only good thing was convenience but I have since stopped going. Besides, it is way overpriced.

I am incredibly disappointed in this place and the one responsible for alterations /​tailoring.
10 days ago I brought my shirt in to be cleaned, pressed, and have a few buttons re-​sewn as they were starting to come loose. Fast forward a week, and they have collectively lost two buttons, broken one, replaced the two lost buttons with random and unmatched buttons of various sizes (why they didn’t use the spare buttons that come with the shirt is a mystery), seen two buttons on crooked so they don’t line up with the button holes, and ended up pulling every seam around the button holes leaving unsightly runs as well as creating a run that stretched from the collar button to the shoulder pleat. On the last day, the sleeve cuff was stained brown. All in all, they destroyed my shirt.
I was always told «come back tomorrow, were sorry well have that fixed» for a week in a row. Now they are giving me a runaround when it comes to reimbursing me for my destroyed garment.
DO NOT take your clothes to this establishment if you value them. VERY POOR excuse for a tailor and a dry cleaner.

Dry cleaning! Dry cleaning! Yep, not so exciting but you can’t be dihr-​tee too often…
Tucked away in the back of Cameron Village, Medlin-​Davis is a local dry cleaning chain but they do it all pretty well. This location has an attached laundromat and drive-​thru pick-​up service. They’ve also got a tailor onsite for quick clothing repairs. I can’t say they’re cheap but their customer service is above average as is their cleaning. So yeah, a thumbs up for Medlin Davis when you’re a bit dirty and need to get clean…
