The Hansen A-team comes through again! Worked on a Gremlin in my electrical system during the hottest stretch of the summer until they fixed it right or had to tell me that I needed a new car. Have been able to reliably travel long distances again. Informative, communicative and exemplifying the best of business practices. Thank you all!

John & Tyler got my teenage daughters car in right away to replace 2 brake lights. They fit us in when they were very busy and we so appreciated that. Good service, good price, and honest. I highly recommend Hansens!

Absolutely fantastic experience!! I needed my headlight bulb replaced and was quoted over $200 at a nearby mechanic where as Hansen’s quoted me for less than half that price. Hansen’s is fair, honest, and does good quality work, not to mention that the people who work here are very friendly! I will be recommending Hansen’s to anyone who is in need of a good mechanic!!

I first went here in December of 2020 when my engine broke down and needed replacing, along with a few other things that went wrong. They were quick, affordable (as affordable as you can be with replacing an engine), and did excellent quality work! My car runs beautifully and now I go here for any auto service I need. As a young woman, I was also taught to be wary of car shops trying to make me spend more than I need to, but this has never been an issue with them. Very grateful for Hansens Auto!

I have been to Hansens twice now and have had great experiences both times. They are friendly and knowledgeable, worked quickly, and charged a fair price. By far the best experience Ive had with an auto mechanic shop. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Madison area.

Bring your vehicles here!! The best experience we have ever had with a mechanic shop. Honest and friendly owners and employees. I would recommend this place to anyone and know they would be taken care of and not taken advantage of. I can’t say enough about this place. 10/10 and all the stars possible.

My wife’s car had a flat tire. I tried to fill up the tire to get to a shop safely. Hansen’s Auto was able to get in and back on the road in about an hour. Unbelievable service! Cannot thank you enough!

Absolutely cannot recommend this business enough. Ive had several cars worked on here. Tyler and John are friendly, thorough, and you can tell without a doubt that they have a passion for explaining whats going on with your vehicle and everything that went into fixing it. Shout out to all the mechanics that work behind the scenes as well. I appreciate every single one of you. Thank you.

Recently I bought a 13yr old truck with worn steering and suspension parts that didnt seem that bad. John personally showed me what parts and how they were bad. Hansons repaired my front end in a timely matter at a fair price. It rides nice, real nice. I should have talked to John before I bought truck, I would have paid less for it.A week later my truck stalled with a dead battery 1 mile from johns shop. He jump started the truck and brought me a new battery which I put in when I got home.Thanks John and everyone at Hansons Auto for years of friendly, honest and reliable service and repairs. You all deserve a slice of raisin pie this holiday season

Hansens is a great auto repair shop. John comes across as a respectable honorable guy. They worked patiently with me as I took days to get the money to get them started on my car. They worked quickly and efficiently on repairing my car. Tyler is also a nice guy.

I had a very positive experience with Hansens. They took the time to bring me back to see the issue with my car, and thoughtfully explained the implications and options I had. I felt treated with respect and trust their opinion! Will be back.

They went over and above my expectations! I requested an oil change & battery replacement, but they also found & replaced a leaky valve stem in the spare tire -- something I hadnt noticed! Great service, very friendly, I would absolutely recommend them.

We have been taking our personal and business cars to Hansens the last 2 years. With 80 staff cars and 7 business vehicles we are in and out of the shop on Park Street a lot.John Hansen is a straight shooter. He cares about his customers and he lets then know it. His knowledge and years of experience are evident in his approach. We are always met with smiles and the truth.Thank you to all of the Hansen Auto Crew for Great work and dependable service!

I brought my 1999 Subaru 2.5RS in for an alignment after having done a great deal of suspension work. John is the man! He communicated with me on any quirks he saw, got everything within factory specifications and the vehicle steers and corners like a dream. The prices are extremely reasonable for the service you receive. This is NOT a toe-and-go operation. They are thorough, honest, and highly experienced. Take your vehicles here for alignments.John even said, Bring the vehicle in after about 3,000 miles. Well see how things settle. Granted there will be an additional charge, but the suggestion, and also the offer to install rear camber bolts to get things even more in line was greatly appreciated.Awesome work, Hansens. You will have my continued business.

I have been going to Hansens for about 8 years. I can not say enough great things about them. They do a wonderful job of keeping my car running well. In addition to doing great mechanical work, they are incredibly kind, friendly, and honest! They never do work that does not have to be done, but always make me aware of things that need to be watched.Once I had to take my vehicle to the dealer for a part recall. The dealer told me that I needed $2,000 in work done. I called Hansens to talk about it. They talked me through diagnosing things like checking the fluid color, etc. and then told me that they did not think I needed the expensive repairs the dealer wanted to make. When I took my car in for an oil change, they checked what the dealer said needed to be done and I think it ended up costing me about $100 to fix one thing.I previously had a very old car that they expertly took care of, but at the same time would always tell me if something was worth doing or not.I rarely speak directly with the mechanics, but whenever I do, they are sweet, polite and patient.Since I often wait in the office for my car to be worked on, I get to see how they are kind, friendly and fair with everyone who walks through the door.I never thought I would say this about an auto repair office, but I feel a lot of love and appreciation for all of them. Thanks to John, Susie and the rest of the team for running such a wonderful auto repair service center.

I would recommend Hansens Auto to anyone! I needed several things fixed on my car recently and the service Hansens provided was exceptional. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, professional, transparent and honest. I spent quite a bit of time in the shop over the course of a few days and every interaction I saw between Hansens staff members and customers exemplified professionalism and friendliness. Its clear that Hansens has developed many genuine, longstanding relationships with its customers, which is quite rare to find these days. Madison is fortunate to have such an outstanding local business!

Went with a pretty bad puncture in truck tire. Managed to patch/repair, switched over spare to main rim and use repaired tire as spare. Were very honest about it - it may hold and it may not, but keep an eye on the repaired spare, try it and see. Anywhere else would have been 2 new tires, no question about it. Saved me a bundle of cash and the service was excellent. Highly recommended - this place was a great find. Rare to find such an honest down to earth auto repair shop. I will certainly use them again.

Review №27

Very friendly and helpful, but the most expensive oil change I’ve had done. Though nice that they changed a bulb, they didn’t ask.EDIT (upgraded stars): We had another occasion to use Hansens and they were very helpful and responsive to our needs. We have one car and needed some quick service to keep our family in transportation.

Ive been taking my cars to Hansens for several years now, and have been impressed with the service and the conscientiousness of the staff. I have always been fairly treated and my car has been fixed when promised. The ride to work is an extra perk, too, that just makes it easier to schedule repairs.

Hansens auto has always been excellent to deal with. Theyve been honest with me on issues and cost, and have always finished the work on time. Their per hour labor cost is also very low when compared to dealerships and other shops. Id recommend them to anyone.

Susie, Eric, and John were all incredibly delightful to work with. Not only did they advocate for me and my car situation, they took time to listen and explain cost efficient options. If youre looking for superior service and a reliable team, choose Hansens Auto in Madison, WI.

Hansens has kept our cars going for years. They are professional, honest and the nicest people you would ever want to deal with. Our Pathfinder had over 250,000 miles on it and it would never have lasted that long without their care. When we had to replace it last month, it was at their urging. They are so honest that they told us that it was not worth keeping on the road, even though they knew that if we bought a new car - we would have to have it serviced at the dealership. Thank God we have another used car that will be serviced by them because we enjoy their company. I would never hesitate to recommend them to friends.

Ive been taking my cars to Hansens since needing an engine rebuilt about 10 years ago, and I cant possibly say enough about the expertise, professionalism, kindness and generosity of the folks at Hansens Auto. Theyve taken such good care of me that I would never consider going to another mechanic. For everything from oil changes to major engine work, they have not only done the best for my car, but also for me.Theyve carefully explained the work, and have been so patient with my lack of understanding of cars. Theyve often been able to tell me what to do and save an expensive repair or tow, and theyve averted many larger problems for me by helping me to look ahead and take care of things before they need major work. Every time I or my daughter has needed to buy a car theyve helped us generously with advice.These folks know cars inside and out and theyre also some of the kindest and most honorable business people you will ever be lucky enough to meet!

GREAT Experience. Service was fantastic. I am a student at UW Madison and had new brakes installed back home before returning to school. I started having problems with my brand new brakes Thursday night here in Madison. Friday morning I called HANSENS Auto at 7:30AM, and they worked me into their schedule. In a matter of hours they documented everything the repair shop back home did wrong, took pictures of the damage, and fixed my car so I could head home for the weekend! If youre looking for a quality repair shop with great service, the answer is Hansens Auto!

I have been coming to Hansens Auto for a couple of years now. I know I can always get an honest answer about what is going on with my car and a fair price to fix it.

Review №48

I sent my car to them for repair a couple of times, they got the jobs done. But the price is on the high end. Diagnosis alone costs $89 where I can get it free from other places. I know most places charge a fee to do it but in my opinion, it should be part of the labor cost not a separate fee.

I showed up today with no appointment on a busy Monday. They determined I had a broken power steering belt, and would get me in as soon as possible. I walked the few blocks home, and my phone rang one hour later. I thought...this cant be good news.....BUT, the car was ready and fixed at a very fair (way less than a Acura dealer) price. This is not a first time occurrence....they are always on top of the situation, and I have nothing but good things to say about Hansens.

Review №55

Took it in due to car shaking. After that got fixed they said that my brakes needed to be changed, which I figured. But they wanted to charge $800 to change all four. I ended up buying the parts my self ($200 retail) then took my car to another mechanic who said that the front two brakes only needed to be changed and only charged me $60. So I ended up returning the parts for my rear brakes

I took my car in because it was leaking coolant. Later that day the guy called and told me he didnt know how to fix it because it was a Volkswagen and still charged me $75.

Im not sure how many stars to give Hansens Auto.What do you think about a shop that charges $141 dollars for parts and labor for work that costs $24.95 in parts (retail) and were installed in 5 minutes by a novice, no tools necessary?
