What the scorecards measure

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency tracks how lately customers have been leaving reviews. The scorecard figures are calculated from Google data, not edited by hand.

What affects the price of tailoring in San Diego

No prices are published here. Alteration prices usually depend on the garment, the fabric, how much work the fit needs and how fast you need it. Reviewers describe pricing as fair or affordable at several of these shops, and one reviewer paid a rush fee for weekend work, so ask for a quote before you drop anything off.
