Camillo Alteration Dry Cleaning & Shoe Repair

We have been using Camillo for over 30 years and I would highly recommend any of his services. .

Alterations/shoe repair. Utilized the shoe repair portion. Simple quick repair. Item ready on date promised. No issues. I would return. It appears to be a one person shop and is not a rushed environment. Very pleasant to deal with. Ample parking in the adjacent free parking lot. They are located next to M&M s in the little strip mall plaza on west side of road. I do not believe the door is handicap accessible.

Great tailor, great service. Been coming here over a year now and he never disappoints !

I was looking for someone who could shorten a belt and found two potential places that had overall good Google reviews. This one was closer to my home so I gave it a shot.

Joe, the owner, was hard at work at the back of the store when I arrived, and when I asked if he could shorten my belt, he asked if I could leave it for about 20 minutes, since he was busy. During our very short conversation, three additional customers came in (one to drop off dry cleaning, one asking for belt shortening, and one asking for a golf bag to be restitched). I allowed them to go before me since I still wanted to talk.

When the crowd had cleared, I took off my belt and showed how much I wanted removed. My belt uses a self-clamping mechanism (no screws), so the amount that I heard him quote to the other customer to do the job apparently would be more than the work required to work on my belt.

He took my belt, disappeared into the back of the shop and returned less than a minute later with my belt, and the piece that had been removed. I asked why he had brought back the cut piece, and he told me it was so that I could verify that I had cut off the right amount.

When I asked him what the cost was, he said it was no charge. Granted, I agreed it wouldn't have been worth what he regularly charges for a typical belt, I offered some payment, which he again refused. I finally insisted and left money on the counter.

Joe was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend him for his quality of work and good business ethics.
