Youngs Coin Op Laundry, Oakland CA

This bad place! The washer didn't work and I still had to wait for a staff or manager to come and on top of that the money change didn't work so still had wait! Nah i had to take my clothes 3 loads somewhere else

I washed $100 23 loads of laundry here last week
. I still have at least 10 more to go. I like the staff and they keep it clean and allow you to use the bathroom. Thanks for your patience last week waiting for my clothes to dry

Change machine out of order you have to find an assistant to get quarters to wash and it's very very small not enough washers and dryers.

*** Sorry for the long review but it is necessary**

I would give this place zero stars if I could. Outside of the lot it’s located in, this place is a dump! I usually go elsewhere, a bit further away from my place, however I wanted to save time on the drive. Big mistake! As soon as I walked in that little voice in my head told me to run.

Instead I brought in my 2 loads of clothing and comforter for a quick wash and dry. The owners and managers should be ashamed of how dirty this place is. Additionally, I’ve literally never seen machines so old AND more expensive than my usual clean and updated laundromat. $3.50 for single load machines and $5.50 for quadruple load machines. Again, this place is way overpriced. Shame on the owners for “nickel and diming” this underserved area and population!

So I washed my clothes, used lots of soap because I was not too sure of the quality of the machines and proceeded to dry. $. 25 buys you a whopping 5 or 6 minutes, depending on the machines. The machines did not get very hot so I ended up spending much more than I am accustomed to.

I dried the comforter separately and when I opened the machine to retrieve my item, I was hit with the most musty, oily, sweaty smell I have ever encountered. My cover no longer smelled like soap, INSTEAD, it smelled like B. O. SOMEONE ELSES B. O. Needless to say I was livid. I ended up washing my clothes again, at my go to place, like I should have in the first place. So, I ended up spending about $20.00 to wash and rewash 2 loads of clothing and a comforter. Stay away.
