Fox Coin Laundry

I mostly use their fluff and fold service and have always found it reliable. The ladies behind the counter are sweet and very hard working and they’re great folders. No complaints!

Neighborhood laundromat but they recently raised their prices so its not a value place now. It semi clean and staff or kinda friendly. Its not super busy maybe cause I go on the weekdays. Some machines broken but that’s okay as its not super busy.

Uh, yeah, this place is disgusting.
I came here to do my laundry a long time ago. As soon as I sat down, I was swarmed by cockroaches or whatever pests that live in there, took all my clothes and left with these nasty bugs in my clothes. It’s ironic that I came to a place to clean my clothes and they ended up even grimy-​er than before I got there. I gag whenever I think of this place.
The owners should hire pest control for their infested business instead of trying to do damage control on Unilocal

The service there is above and beyond. A machine broke when I was washing a load today. I was running late. The person working there refunded my money fluffed and folded and delivered what was in the laundry. I was still a bit late but I will do my laundry there encourage others to do the same.

Cockroaches! Cockroaches! Cockroaches!!!
Nice parking.
Lots of washers if there isn’t a out of order (post it) sign.
Out of order sign on the bathroom so just anyone can’t use it.
Five load washer… Haven’t used it.
Nice staff.
Old equipment.
Trash could be taken out more often.
Floors could be swept more often.
Ceiling vent clogged.
High prices.
Food being eaten by customers and staff.
Did I mention Cockroaches!!!
Cockroaches!Cockroaches!!Cockroaches!!!
I would go back if the owner could clean up or over hauled it.
The same owner owns the laundry mat on Pico Blvd. and 26^th St. I believe, which is undesirable from what I have read and visited twice and refused to conduct any business.

I always give it another chance and each time I’m still disappointed. It’s $ 2.00 for a regular wash load and .25 for like 3 mins or so to dry. I’ve learned to put 3 quarters and always use high heat. But all in all the clothes are still damp.

I was here today to do one large load of dark clothes that I washed in cold and took home to dry on hangers. It was a ‘piece of cake’. I had parking and empty machine. I love the centrifugal front door type. They don’t knot the clothes and really rinse well if you pay attention and don’t use too much detergent. It is a laundromat. I’d rather do it at home of course if I had that option. I do use the dryers usually and I think it is 8 minutes per quarter but I think that is better than putting in 4 quarters mandatory. There is the option of paying per pound to have your things washed. Lots of people do that do. Drop it off early enough and pick up after work.

Plenty of machines. Decent prices. Staff busy collecting money. No smiles. No hellos. Dirty floors.

This place, is terrible. Prepare yourself for a second world laundry experience.
The washers and dryers here are antiquated… We’re talking ‘70s & ‘80s technology here. Roughly 20% of the machines here have hand-​written ‘out of service’ signs on them. On my last visit, the ATM was also out of service. The note on the sign is dated 9÷16÷14. Today it’s 10÷4÷14.
Oh, and did I mention that this place is fucking filthy? Seriously. Is disgusting. Everything is sticky. Heaven forbid that you need to use the restroom while you’re here. The walls are stained. The floor is disgusting. The fixtures are coated in God-​who-​knows-​what-​film. There isn’t even a soap dispenser for when you need to wash your hands.
All this, and it’s more expensive than higher-​tech laundromats like Clean People. What’s not to like?
Don’t give this place your money. Seriously, they don’t deserve it.

I came here with my whole closet of laundry. I began packing the top loader (standard washing machines). I had about 6 machines filled and was about to put money in until a man approached me and asked me what I was doing. He pointed to a larger machine, said I could get all of it into one machine and save my money. It turned out to be Stan, the owner of Fox Coin. I loaded it up and he explained that the bigger machine would give me a 3x better wash– although I needed to put a second cup of detergent in mid way through. When I went to put more money in my car meter, I missed the gap to put more detergent in– as I came rushing back to try and do it, Stan kindly informed me that he had put it in for me. It’s the simple things. Great service & tons of machines. I won’t take my dirty laundry anywhere else!

One Star for the free parking lot (albeit small) that was not filled up when I arrived.
The facilities, although clean, are filled with very outdated washer and dryers. Many of them carry «out of order» signs. Most of them are so old and used, the instruction labeling on the units are worn off, torn off, or hard to read. Good luck figuring out which compartment to put your soap in, or what cycle your load is on. My clothes came out pretty wet, even though their sign says they offer «maximum water removal.»
Their dryers, also from the 70’s, are 25 cents for 7 minutes; it’s standard to usually get 10 minutes for a quarter. I had to use 5 quarters to dry one load, and many of my items could have still used another cycle.
*Expensive, under efficient machines… a waste of time and money.*

I would give this place zero stars if I could. NEVER go here. Save yourself the agony.
I brought laundry here to be washed and folded and was quoted that it would cost around $ 40. When I went to pick up my laundry the total came out to over $ 35 more than I was quoted! $ 5 or $ 10 would have been understandable, but a $ 35 difference is ridiculous.
I couldn’t believe the disparity and asked to speak with the owner as the guy working there just wanted to argue with me and said he would call the cops after I took a photo of their City of Santa Monice permit number /license…by the way which was hidden behind the barrier to the back room. This should be out so that customers can see it.
I said I would just pay after the guy put up a fight and then he didn’t want to take my payment. Finally he agreed to take my credit card and then after I asked for my receipt, didn’t give me a receipt. I needed my receipt. After 30 minutes there another guy arrived to try to get my receipt, but still couldn’t get me a receipt. I had to take a photo of the receipt. He said he would mail me a copy this week. Doesn’t a vendor have to give you receipt?
This place did a definite bait and switch and is a shady business. Stay away. I can’t believe that they are able to stay open in Santa Monica. This is the worst service ever.

It’s a little beat up but the folding stations are perfect and we love the people. Lati does our fluff n fold with love.

I’ve been here a few times. I will usually go here when I need to wash my clothes before work. It’s about $ 4 for a medium size load of laundry.
So far I haven’t had any problems here.

Let’s rate the laundry mat for what it is, a public laundry mat in Santa Monica. It’s definitely the best choice in the city. There are a lot of different workers here and they are all nice and helpful. Polite people.
They have various styles of washers including the water saving ones that circulate your clothes better.
There isn’t anything else I would need from a laundry mat. They got it covered.

I went here to do laundry on a Tuesday afternoon and it was packed. There’s lots of broken machines… and almost every single working washer and dryer was being used.
I had trouble parking. the parking lot is small and every space was taken when I arrived.
It’s really expensive… $ 2.00 to wash a regular load, and $ 4.00 to wash a large load.
Staff was helpful, but annoying at the same time. They had 2 women working while I was there and making sure everything was running smoothly.

I’ll make this short and to the point. First, I wish I checked more into the reviews here first before I started going here about a year ago. I could do my own laundry, but frequently don’t have the time. I’ve been taking my laundry to be done with the fluff and fold women in the back. It’s been fine, nothing missing, folded and separated socks (although sometimes the socks wouldn’t be throughly clean.
I’ve been paying $ 1 a pound, but when you work as much as I do, it’s worth it because it saves precious time. If I couldn’t afford it, I wouldn’t do it and would do as I used to do and just stay home and do it myself. That being said…
I go there yesterday and was told about a pricing change. Instead of the flat 1 pound = $ 1, it has variances now that allow for the fluff and fold to get more «creative» with the pricing.
When I brought what would’ve been a $ 43 load of laundry, I was asked «how many blankets do you have in there?» I told her 1 blanket. It was then announced that would be $ 3 a pound. My question to her is how do they pro-​rate the entire lot of laundry with the 1 blanket? Then I showed her a throw… she said that was $ 3 a pound as well, as well as my 2′ x 3′ shower mat…“because they take longer to dry” and «the owner said we have to charge $ 3 a pound for that». She then pointed to some large comforters on the top shelf (think California King size) and was trying to make a comparison between those and my items.
I’ve done my own laundry. I know how long things take to dry, I don’t need a tutorial about how long a blanket (wool) takes to dry vs. a full-​on comforter. I also know a throw and a microfiber bath mat might take a little longer to dry, but those were but a few items in the whole bag. If she couldn’t differentiate between a bath mat and a throw vs. a comforter, then how is she going to differentiate between what should be costing $ 1 a lbs., vs. what should be $ 3 lbs. It’s too arbitrary for my comfort and I didn’t think she had the wherewithal to charge me a fair price. I can afford fluff and fold, but I’m no dummy and I could see the drift of where this was all going.
Based on my conversation with her, I didn’t trust her judgement. She said «next door and across the street charge more». Well of course they do, they are dry cleaners. This was the best the owner gave her to work with? To compare the cost of what the dry cleaners are charging vs. a laundromat? Oh come on. Save it.
I have someone else’s business profit in the trunk of my car, and will be doing business elsewhere in the neighborhood. This is the most convenient for me, but unfortunately this new ‘sliding scale’ of subjective judgement in terms of pricing bothers me. Plus when I did the spot test to evaluate the laundry woman’s discretion, she flunked.
Like I said, I’ve done my own laundry, have my own laundry facilities, but don’t have the time right now. When I have the time, I do it, but for the last year I have been working hard and have been taking it to them. No more. Off to another fluff and fold and this time I’ll do my homework.

First time here. Thought I’d give a them a try since they are next door to where I get my car serviced. First thing I noticed was about 3 men in a span of 15 mins came in specifically to search through all the trash cans. They were talking to themselves rather loudly. (I didn’t see earbuds or a Bluetooth in their ears!)
Even though the machines are a bit pricey, this laundromat is clean and well lit with helpful attendants standing by.
If I don’t return to this review it means my clothes came out fine even if I don’t return to this laundry.
OK I’m back. I’m holding strong to my 3 star review but just have to add that my clothes are clean and oh so fresh! The dryers are so powerful I only needed the 40 minutes I allotted. Oh and no more weird men sightings.
I will continue to do my laundry at the same place I’ve been going to for years, but Fox Coin Laundry might be a pleasing alternative from time to time.

It’s a little run down and pricey. $ 2.00 for a wash. I am used to a $ 1.25. Other than that, there is a parking lot and if it’s not busy you can get in and out pretty quick. No one talked to me which was just fine. It does the job.

I guess I’ve always been fortunate enough to have laundry in my complex or unit so this was my first adventure to a laundry mat. We recently moved and we’re still waiting for our washer to be delivered. This place seems just fine. I can say the following: the change machine worked, the washers cleaned my clothes, the dryers dried them… and, there is a Ms. Pac-​Man arcade game for your entertainment.
I’m not going to say I won’t be glad when my washer/​dryer arrives next week though.
