They did an excellent job getting a pizza grease stain out of my tan suede boots. I’m impressed. The stain was AWFUL, and now it’s basically gone.

Great service, very accommodating to timelines, extremely friendly, great attention to detail. They were already recommended by the locals to me but I’m floored by their kindness and warmth. Fully trust them with any of my future shoes!
