A great place to rent costumes when you don’t want to drive to Los Angeles.

They have EVERYTHING you would want for your costume. Clothing, Hats, Jewelry, Glasses, Boas, Stockings, EVERYTHING. I love this store. We have several occasions a year that require costumes. They will either rent a costume or sell it to you depending. There is so much to choose from and they have fitting rooms as well. This is always our first choice when we are going shopping for costumes. This year we rented Red Riding Hood and the Wolf for a baby shower costume party. We were Elvis and Go-Go Girl for a 50th Birthday Party. We did the Roaring 20s complete with a Sequine Flapper dress, men's Fedora Hat, Vest, Pocket watch, and Bow tie. Lots of good stuff!

Great place with lots of costumes, quality stuff. You will definitely win costume contests with their costumes. Very reasonably priced!

Great staff. Dawna, the owner, is fantastic. They have the best costumes in SoCal! High quality, and all the accessories to go with them. You may go in thinking you know what you want and end up with something 10 times better. They even do embroidery! It's a fun shop. Parking can be awful, so park at Del Taco. Grab a doughnut at the doughnut shop. Those are good!

We drive down from Redondo Beach every year to get our Halloween costumes here. They have an amazing selection of costumes and accessories and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We like the rent or buy option and the costumes are high quality which justifies the price. Highly recommend!

I rented my Halloween costumes from there over the weekend! We loved our outfits ( mariachi and salsa dancer) i loved how they had a lot to pick from ! They have everything from outfits to shoes! Very nice workers! All of them helped us out ! Only thing that bothered me is that it was so small in there i wish the store was bigger because they have so many costumes that you can't see everything it's all crammed in there... but i will highly recommend going there ! You wont be disappointed on the quality of the costumes ! The price was a little pricey but we'll worth it

Gasoline alley has been around for ages; and if you're in the need for something costume or vintage - this is the spot. They have an impressive collection jammed into a very small space. Prices are typically slightly higher than market value, but they have such great selection and I always find exactly what I'm looking for; I've bought so many things over the years and used to come in with my dad before he passed because he was good friends with the owners son. (I forget his name but he used to work at Johnny Rebs too) This year I came in looking for a suede vest for a Halloween costume. I first asked the lady at the counter- she said I don't have that, clearly flustered because it was busy after more prodding she showed me the section of leather and suede vests and told me to look around, since they were shoved in a tiny corner on the floor I pulled out the stack (6-7 vests) and was looking through them, when the owners son came rushing over making a snide comment about why I was pulling them all out. He asked me what I was looking for I explained and told him the character he cut me off saying "I know the character" he told me to pick one to try on and "get out of the aisle" because he was "trying to keep it clear". Luckily there was a perfect one in the pile and we bought it; $70 for a vest is STEEP. Idk what the attitude problem is - but y'all need to sort it out, I get that it's busy and a stressful time of year, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to spend $70 and get treated like a nuisance for spending money with you. Maybe next time I'll shop somewhere else. What should be a 4 star review is a 2 because you treat customers like a burden. Selection: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Location: 3/5 Service: 1/5

don't come here. if i could give zero stars i would. I am a service worker myself and to see how these employees treat their customers was so disheartening it was like a game to them. the old lady that owns it is so rude, we asked if she had a specific costume and she said "no" in a snooty voice and shooed us with her hand then went over to her other employee and started whispering about us. I overheard her talking to a customer and she was being very quick with them as they were buying something from her, so unbelievable that she would treat someone like that when they are spending money in her store. We were looking around for a while and didn't find anything, they have a large selection but a lot of the items are lesser quality but they are charging 60-80 a piece. We went up to another employee to ask about their renting policy. She had brown hair and glasses. She practically rolled her eyes at me and mumbled the policy so i could barely hear her and when i asked for clarification she started walking away to the other side of the store and i didn't see her after that. Ultimately the 40 min drive was not worth it and we went home with no costumes and a little pissed off.

A million times better than party city, plus you can either rent or buy a costume.

The lady working there apparently forgot to turn off the steamer and because the store is so small as we looked at the costumes I backed up into the hose of the steamer and it burnt the back of my leg. The hose was in the middle of clothes, and I was wearing shorts. The lady said oh sorry I forgot to turn the steamer off . Never once did she say are u ok do u need ice just went on about her day . My burn is ok it’s red and stings but seriously!!!! This could have been a big problem for you guys. Anyone bringing in kids be careful that store is full of ways kids and adults could potentially get hurt. This store is very over-packed, and it’s difficult to look for what you might want.

Doesn't matter what we are looking for they always seem to have it at Gasoline Alley. We have probably rented costumes covering 4 decades and we always were the best dressed. Don't show up in the same crap everyone else is. Gasoline Alley gives you plenty of options and accessories that will make you look like you stepped out of a Time Machine.

I have had many random costume needs over the years. Every single time this place has what I need. I have no idea how the owner can immediately direct you to exactly what you need with her overwhelming selection. But, she knows exactly where to go and grab the perfect costume.
