My Review by jl702331226 via Citysearch on 7/20/2012

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! The service was terrible. The owner was verbally abusive, called me fat and altered my item completely incorrectly. Completely. The prices are insane.

I also don't know what that complaints by JuanC244 via Citysearch on 1/28/2012

I also don't know what that complaints are about. He seems busy so good for him! He has given me prompt excellent service both times I've been there (Portland native and know good Portland service when I get it) The five pair of pants have…

I dont know what people are complaining about! by zaharaleopalaic via Citysearch on 11/26/2011

I see reviews on here that just make me nauseous! This is an AMAZING place with some of the best costumer service out there. I don't see how people can be complaining about anything when the prices are perfect, the people are wonderful,…

Don't Go!! by IngridH via Citysearch on 10/7/2011

I have brought a few things in for alterations in the past with satisfactory results but my most recent experience made me feel I should warn others. I brought in a jacket to have the collar altered and when it came back it was not as I…

Gimme a break! by missalexkennedy via Citysearch on 10/3/2011

I took a dress into Alteration Station to get let out a 1/2 inch on each side. Not a big order but I can't do it myself. They said it would be $80. I laughed and said "no thanks I paid $10 for the dress!". I then went to the alteration…

Another Horrible Experience by UrbanGrl via Citysearch on 4/14/2011

I brought in a gown to be altered and instead of letting me know he was unable to perform the job adequately, as any seamster/ress would, the (presumed) owner took my money and didn't do what I asked. I took the dress home without trying…

Great Place by cliffey via Citysearch on 6/11/2010

Salim has been working on my jeans and I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks!

Alteration Station is the BEST! by tinalouise1000 via Citysearch on 6/11/2010

Alteration Station at the Lloyd Center has always done an excellent job with all of my alteration needs. Salim is very friendly and provides excellent customer service. They are always able to complete everything in a reasonable amount…

Alter my jeans by Clifford L via Citysearch on 6/11/2010

True Costumer Service by rittak via Citysearch on 5/8/2010

I am a 7 year costumer of this shop, i recently witnessed dispute between the owner and a costumer. A lady brought in jeans to be patched and when she came to pick it up she was not happy with the patches so the owner gave her $7 back and…

Amazing Service by Marryy via Citysearch on 5/8/2010

I recently bought an expensive dress from cache that I needed to be altered. I took it to four shops to be altered and all of them told me that it was very complicated to do and costs $200, the last place I took it to told me that I…

The Best in the city by InternationalMystique via Citysearch on 2/20/2010

This shop really knows their trade. I've read some complaints regarding "personality" issues but given that many other shops offer "friendliness" but shoddy work, I think I would prefer the quality work offered her over trying to be my…

Terrible experience by maybelline16 via Citysearch on 2/17/2010

I wish that I would have checked Citysearch previous to taking something to be altered here. The reviews which speak poorly of the service and communication are right on. Although some had no complaints about the actual alterations…

i love this place!!!!!:) by nanask via Citysearch on 12/5/2009

I love this place because I brought in 2 piars of pants and 4 sweaters ad Salim got them done just in time before i left the countery and headed to Syria.Salim got things done just like i wanted and i had very good time in Syria becuase of…

poor customer service by customerpdx via Citysearch on 11/28/2009

I took a dress to Alteration Station two weeks ago because the hem had come out in the back. I wanted to wear the dress that night so I called to see if they could fix it the same day. The man I talked to on the phone said they could…

More bad customer service by aClark via Citysearch on 11/16/2009

I have used this shop before and didn't have any problems. This time I am left with a bad taste and am not sure I will be a returning customer. I just spent $100 on alterations and the alterations themselves were well done and completed…

Wonderful! by pdxstarryeyedgirl via Citysearch on 7/29/2009

I recently had my wedding gown altered at Alteration Station. The owner did a fantastic job! My gown was very complicated to work with, being made of chiffon. He made a beautiful bustle and cut down the train perfectly. \r I highly…

Recommended by JSGorny via Citysearch on 3/14/2009

Had a suit altered there upon recommendation from my mother. It needed basics: Length hemmed and cuffs. I also requested the jacket be pinned to compliment my figure. Suit was ready the following week as agreed. (I was in no hurry)…

while you wait by shawn m via Insider Pages on 12/18/2008

they will do most hems while you wait, unless of course if they are really behind. They do good quality work and the prices are very reasonable. I totally recommend them.

Defensive Customer Service by Halston345 via Citysearch on 10/7/2008

I found Alteration Station through City Search and the reviews looked great. I have been a seamstress myself for many years and working especially in bridal alterations for 5+ years. I decided to bring in my bridesmaid dress to be…
