Wash-O-Mat

My first time here. Homeless man stands infront of the machine I’m using and starts singing at the top of his lungs. Doesn’t move for the entire duration of his song, afterwards he moves 2ft and sings the same passionate song but to himself. Everyone around me isn’t reacting… This is normal. They have magazines though, which is nice

Lots of homeless people hanging out., if your a single woman use caution. The place is a little dirty, the carts seem really dirty to move your clothes around so check them out before using, if not you will be washing them again. Overall D–
The smell from the pizza joint next door is awesome so being extra cash to eat.

First time here, last time here. Skeezy environment – had to listen to an older drunken man yell racist comments at the laundromat security guard while we waited for our clothes to dry.
We set the dryer for 37 minutes, and when the timer went off, our clothes were warm, but still soaking wet. Rip-​off. Had to switch machines and wait another 30 minutes.

The owner is a very nice and friendly lady, who seems to work hard when you meat her, but this place is ran very poorly.
I’ve had three bad experiences.
One, I took advantage of its fluff and fold. Usually always do a good job. But when I went to pick up my clothes at 7pm. The lady who was working, not the owner, was very nasty and refused to give me my clothes because she was off and wanted to leave. Despite I could see my clothes behind her. It was just that she said no, it was in the manner and callous tone she used. I even told her I was leaving town the next morning and needed my clothes. She said it’s not her problem.
Second time, a year later not returning, I do fluff and fold again. It’s posted that they are open on Sunday’s and I take advantage of dropping off with intent to pick up on Sunday. I even state that when I drop it off. However, Sunday they were closed. I had to wait another day and inconvenience my Monday.
Then a third time, I do my own laundry and the machine soap dispenser is broke. No warning, no sign, no indication that it doesn’t work. I wash and place my clothes in the dryer. When pulling them out, my clothes smell just as they did putting them into the dryer, maybe worse.
Avoid this place. Poorly managed and poorly kept.
The lady that owns this place, you were very kind when I met you, you are even here cleaning and keeping individuals who are unwelcome out, efficiently, but the upkeep needs to be better.

I was going to do my laundry here since it’s busy at my apt complex. But after seeing the cost per load vs the cost at my apartment complex, I left. $ 2.75 small,$ 4.75 for medium & $ 5.75 for large washer + .25 for 7mins of dryer time. It’s only 2 $ for wash/​dryer at my unit and its the size of a medium washer.
I didn’t see any employees here but a few of their machines seemed to be out of order.

First time customer and this will be the final time. Decaying equipment and poorly kept. I left with little white spots covering my clothes. Go here as a last resort or drive to a decent laundry mat on Park or El Cajon.

Yaaay for lazy Saturdays. This is my go to laundry destination to drop off my dirty skivvies while on travel in San Diego. I hate fighting for laundry machines in hotels. So, yet another service that increases my laziness. The on site attendants are extremely friendly and take very good care of my clothes. Added bonus, picking up a slice at Bronx pizza next door.

The owners and the folks working there are very nice.
The laundromat is clean and kept tidy.
The parking lot is generally crowded, but not terrible; I have never had to park on street.
Rates are competitive, slightly cheaper than other laundromat in neighborhood.
Evenings are full of homeless folks washing their pants and wearing nothing but newspapers while their pants get washed — but hey, everybody’s got to wash their pants, right?
One of the laundromat employees can get really aggressive about the quarters only being for customers.
Bronx Pizza is right next door, so you can get a slice while your laundry spins.

2 stars for location and convenience. There are random people just charging their phones and shooting the breeze. Expensive too. It’s definitely not the best place. I think this will be my last visit here.

I decided to give this place a second chance but I have made up my mind to never come to this awful laundry mat ever again. This is a homeless hangout spot and I suggest you do not leave any of your things unattended. Oh and get ready to be panhandled. Almost half of the machines are broken and some aren’t even labeled. I literally put all of my laundry into two dryers that did not work and the two employees did not bother to tell me they didn’t work, they were only a ten feet away from me! My coins kept getting eaten up by a washer and there is no coin return button on the machine. There isn’t enough seats or carts to put your laundry in. And there is barely any counter space to fold your clothes. The machines don’t seem maintained and they are really dirty. If you don’t have a car and this is the only place to do laundry then I guess you have no choice.

These ladies are awesome! So far I’ve taken clothes 5 times and it’s pretty good for the price. I take my own hangars so I get my shirts hung (they said no problem). My clothes comes tightly and neatly packed. They have never been rude and even gave me the military and first time customer discount, that I didn’t know existed. Awesome place. I will be going back :).

Generally this is a hassle free spot to get a large amount of laundry done quickly. I’ve been coming here at least once a month for the past year spending $ 15-​$ 20 each time. Today I was accosted by a fluff and fold employee when getting quarters to start my dry. She spent 5 min grilling me on what I was doing & telling me quarters are only for customers, wanting to know where my laundry was. I was absolutely insulted and finally had to tell her to stop following me after thanking her for automatically assuming I was a bad person. The rest of my time waiting for my laundry she stared at mr with crazy eyes and I felt exceptionally uncomfortable. In the future I will take my business elsewhere where I won’t be hassled by employees.

Its a laundry mat, pretty whatever. The only perk is that you can get a delicious slice of Bronx pizza next door. The ladies that work there are very rude, I wouldn’t talk to them. They had clothes just sitting in the large dryer that I needed for my comforter and wouldn’t even take them out! They weren’t even large loads so I’m not sure why they were using them in the first place. Park Blvd laundry is a better experience, but if you want some Bronx pizza while you wait, this will suffice.

Methink not. Unless you want to hang out with the homeless, have them ask you for a blanket and your underwear AND have them take their pants off while they wash their clothes… and sit down pants-less…I might decided to go somewhere else. I actually live only 1 block away and drive 3 miles to do my laundry in North Park.
P. s. ALLof these things have happened every time I have ever been to this laundromat. And yes I did give her my underwear.

Today is my 3^rd time here. Washes range from $ 2 — $ 5.75, drying is 7 minutes for $.25.
It is pretty clean and the staff is helpful. There are a fair amount of newer washers, most of the dryers are older.
Use the dryer top left closest to the front door. It gives you an extra minute for your quarter.
One other word of wisdom: make sure you eat before you come unless you want to spend money at Bronx pizza next door. The smell is wafting over non stop, and that is a battle you aren’t going to win.

I get my laundry fluff and folded here (I drop it off and they wash it for me).
If you can spare the $ 20.00 a week, I recommend it. Don’t give them jeans or towels.
I love picking up ready to wear, folded, clean, clothing.

Decent laundromat usually busy during the day but not as much on evenings, except Mondays. Prices are competitive, $ 2 double loader, $ 2.75 triple loader, 7 min $.25 for dryer. I’ve never used a top loader washer. Don’t over pack the double loader especially with heavy items like hoodies n towels, the spin cycle is weak and they will leave your items damp. Triple loaders do a better job.
Stay away from all the dryers with the black trim or the once nearest to the vending machine they are terrible. The ones by the vending machine are old school with the knob to drop the quarters. Don’t use those, try to stick to the gray trim ones, there are plenty of and good. I’ve never used their drop of service. Don’t worry about the characters hanging around, they are mostly homeless with no place to go and the liquor shop next door. Parking at times is a hassle probably because Bronx pizza customers park on this lot.

Having recently moved from a house to an apartment and having to give up my wahser and dryer I was dreading the thought of having to use a laundromat. So I Unilocaled and this was the closest one to my new place.
Why anyone would only give this place one star is beyond me. Yes it is a little dingy and yes there are a few broken machines. So what. There were plenty that worked just fine. $ 4.25 to wash a big load and .75 cents for every 7 minutes of drying time.
Plus as others have said the people watching is worth the price of doing laundry. Some weirdo walking around the parking lot in a half motorcycle helmet pretending to be doing a building inspection provided plenty of visual enjoyment. The 19 inch television blasting an episode of Cheers was entertaining.
Plenty of free parking and the place is sandwiched between a liquor store and a pizza place. I would have no problems going back and best of all: no screaming babies or annoying kids running around.

I rarely give one stars. You have to REALLY give poor customer service to get one star. But when you’re the owner and treat a customer like crap, you get one star!
I used to love coming here, until today. I took advantage of their fluff & fold service. They recently had a price change, and instead of notifying their customers, they just started charging more. As a regular there, and having been recognized by the employees every time I go in, I would have thought they would advise. I know prices are subject to change without notice, but have the courtesy of telling regular customers. But I digress. Moving on.
I bring my laundry in about every 10 days. I recently had a shirt that came home with spots all over it. Where these spots came from, I have no idea. But it was an older shirt, and even though I loved wearing it, I was okay with letting go.
This week, I took my clothes in along with some of my boyfriend’s shirts that he wears for work. They came home with obvious bleach stains. These are nice dress shirts that cost about $ 60 each. So I should have known better than to trust their care to someone else. But, I took them there anyway. We also had a couple of pairs of socks come back with the same stains.
When I took the shirts in today, the owner was pretty smug. First, the clerk and he both tried to tell me that the shirst were like that when I brought them in. Really? You’re going to blame it on ME?!? Wow! So much for the customer being right. I’m not the type of person to blame something on someone if it’s not their fault. So why would I come to this business and try to get something from them. Especially since I go here so often. The owner said that he would pay me if I provide a receipt. When I told them that one of the shirts was relatively new, he said, «No it’s not, those shirts are old.» Um, since when did you become the expert on when things were purchased? You have NO idea when I bought them. Then to smugly tell me, «Well, we can rewash them if you want.» Seriously, you’re going to rewash bleach stains? I’d LOVE to see that magic trick. When I asked him if he was really going to rewash a bleach stain, he said in a condescending tone, «Well, what do you want me to do? There’s no way of us knowing if there was bleach prior to that wash.»
Really? As a business owner, you don’t take any care to make sure that the clothes you are washing for other people are washed correctly and without incident? That’s reassuring. I definitely will NEVER return to this place. It’s not that I even wanted to be refunded, I wanted to make him aware. The fact that this business from the start, treated me like I was the one that did wrong, is disheartening and exactly the reason I will never come back.

I generally like this place. The prices seem reasonable, there is normally someone on staff and there is a good number of washers and dryers. I’m deducting two stars however because there was an instance where I realized after I started a load that I wasn’t getting hot water even though that was what I selected. When I mentioned this to the staff lady she said she was sorry but that the hot water heater had stopped working. In the very least they should have posted a sign someplace letting the patrons know about that.
