I live in Central Burnaby and for the past year or so, I've been taking my shirts and pants to Tuesday's on Kingsway just west of Royal Oak. They're not the cheapest place, but the service is relatively prompt (3-day turnaround usually) and the cleaning is above-average. Almost all of my shirts and pants are entirely natural fibres (wool or linen for pants, cotton for shirts), so shirts tend to be in the $3-4 range and pants probably double that.
A place I used to go to, but now avoid is Busy Bee on First and Nanaimo in East Van. They ruined an off-white corduroy blazer of mine by using some kind of chemical which discoloured one cuff and one lapel.
The biggest issue for me is managing buildup on collars and cuffs. I find that conventional laundry detergent and my washing machine are simply not good enough, so for shirts I actually wear to the office, I'm forced to get them cleaned professionally.
