I brought my Subaru Forester here and had a great experience. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and very clear about what my car needed, and what it would cost. I would highly recommend HM to anyone needing repairs to their vehicle. Thank you Isaac and Graham. read more

Great service, quick to respond, transparent and very knowledgeable. Had some weird electrical issues with my Honda, Civic and Graham was able to squeeze me in and help me troubleshoot on the fly. Highly recommend! read more

The business owner's description says "Graham is looking forward to helping the neighborhood and all his clients with professional quality, affordable automotive services." That ain't no lie. These guys are professional and very helpful to the neighbors here in Buckman. Awesome experience. Will return. read more

I went to Hansen Mechanical for help diagnosing an issue related to my car alarm a few months ago, and I have never had a better experience with a mechanic. He charged me $20 to diagnosed the issue, suggest an affordable place I could take it to, and even show me how to disable the alarm if it happened again before I could fix the issue. I highly recommend Hansen Mechanical if you're looking for a fair and reliable mechanic. read more

The first time I contacted this establishment the person was very nice and patient, the second and fourth time that same person was rather impatient. But my beef with this mechanic is for four other reasons. 1. He refused to give even a rough estimate of the car's worth. (Is it worth $1 or $1,000,000? Who knows, it's a mystery!) 2. He refused to give a rough estimate of how long the car could last after getting all the work done that he suggested on it (obviously not an exact science but a general ballpark would be nice, no mechanic purchases a used car themselves without having somewhat of an idea of how long the major components of the vehicle might possibly last). 3. Then he suggested an almost $1300 worth of work (at the very least) on a car that apparently wasn't worth that amount. (I called around to other mechanics to get their opinion, and from my explanation they explained how it wasn't worth it, contradicting what I had been told by Hansen.) 4. After getting $200 worth of work on the car, and declining the additional $1100 work, he then said I had to pick up the car that same day (which I wasn't able to do). After seeing the lot when I went to pick it up (and after seeing it a a few times since) I understood later why he needed me to pick up the car immediately. His lot didn't have enough room to play hoops full court. With my small compact car gone, a sweet, unencumbered, game of HORSE was now possible... In the numerous states I lived, and with the numerous cars I've owned, in the span of a few decades, I've never experienced this... (It should be noted I edited the amounts from the original post. The owner called me immediately after my review to correct the numbers. Yep that makes it better, thanks. And while I'm at it, I'll mention that I called him two weeks in advance to set up a time convenient for him, and also told him it was no rush in regards to fixing the car once it arrived, which took a few days for him to do so. So had I been warned in advance that there would be a same-day-of rush to get my car off the property if I wasn't willing to spend the $1300 he suggested, I probably never would've brought it in to begin with. And now the search continues for just one not-awful mechanic... it's kind of like finding a good politician, they just don't seem to exist...) read more

Excellent service, honest advice, and always willing to do their best to squeeze me in, or answer a question over the phone. Very fairly priced too. I've been going to these guys for a couple years now - as a female who doesn't know much about cars, they've been straight forward, helpful, and never tried to mislead me (as has happened with other mechanics before). The owner is a super nice guy too. Highly recommend!! read more

My friend highly recommended Hansen (raved, actually) and after one visit I can see why: They're friendly, professional, honest and they do good work at a fair price. They keep in touch with updates and I trust any recommendations they may have -- I cannot say that about some of the repair shops I've been to in Portland, that's for sure! read more

When you adhere to stay at home pandemic rules and after over a week of not driving our Jeep Wrangler the battery died. Of course the emergency battery started I was gifted the last battery died was also not working. So glad Hansen Mechanical was open and could get me in same day. As always excellent mechanical and customer service from Graham! If you're looking for a reliable mechanic give Hansen Mechanical a call. read more

Graham is a fantastic mechanic--really nice guy and generous with his time. I stopped by here a few weeks ago, and even though I didn't have an appointment, Graham solved my tail light outage right away free of charge! I will definitely be back :) read more

Excellent shop! Always honest, communicative, and reasonable. I have had nothing but positive experiences as a customer.

Comprehensive, efficient, timely and with honest prices and solid work. Swift diagnosis. These guys are amazing. The only place I bring my vehicles. read more

If you want a top notch auto diagnostician, go straight to Hansen Mechanical and speak with Graham. Prior to finding Hansen, I had been completely ripped off by a dealership, and then further screwed over by another independent mechanic after that. After explaining my situation to Graham, he said he'd personally take on the repairs himself given the difficulties I'd had with prior mechanics. He diagnosed the issues within a day, and promptly made the repairs as soon as the parts came in. He took the vehicle on multiple test drives to ensure the check engine light didn't come back on, before returning it to me. The last mechanic had told me that if my vehicle continued to have trouble- they would recommend I sell it and get another car; it took them 3 months to come to this conclusion. When I shared this with Graham, he told me I had a great vehicle and that there was no reason it shouldn't keep going for another 200,000 miles. Graham's feedback matches what is usually said about the type of vehicle I have, and I was grateful to hear this from a reputable source- especially since I'm not in the position to purchase another vehicle at this time. Until this most recent difficulty, I had never necessitated much help from an auto mechanic as my vehicles had always run well. After these terrible and costly experiences with a dealership and an independent mechanic, I now understand the value of knowing an honest mechanic with strong diagnostic skills. Graham is the ultimate professional. He's excellent, excellent, excellent at diagnosing the problem, and isn't just a "parts changer." He is great at communicating with the client and providing updates along the way. He is sensitive to the fact that this might be your main mode of transportation, and understands that you may need your vehicle back in good working order asap. I've had a tremendously positive experience with Hansen Mechanical and have been HIGHLY recommending them to all my friends and family. Graham is as good as gold in my book. Thank you Hasen Mechanical!!! read more

Graham and the team at Hansen take such good care of me and my car, I can not recommend them enough. For basic car maintenance (like oil changes) the prices are far lower than other options. Same applies to tire replacement and larger services. I showed up with a nail in my tire on a Friday afternoon and Graham fixed it in less than an hour, charged me nothing (since I had bought the tires from him), and I was on my way! Such great service is hard to find. I'm so glad Hansen's is here to help. read more

Such an honest owner that's willing to go out of his way for his customers. Definitely my new go-to shop. Stopped by one night with a bewildering problem... He was closing, but opened his shop up and took a look for me! Since he discovered in no time flat it was a fuse, he offered to not even charge! Furthermore, he's speedy with getting a quote to you, is very fairly priced and his work Is top notch! read more

Knowledgeable and honest mechanics here! This place is highly recommended with great prices and fast service!

Its so refreshing to find a solid mechanic who I'm confident in and that I'd refer people to. I had such a great experience here. They replaced my front struts in my Honda Accord. I was quoted a price that was much better then the two other mechanics I spoke with. They inspected my car and recommended I change the brake fluid and transmission fluid which made a lot of sense to me. The communication through out the whole process was great . My car is driving amazing . This is a real quality shop that offers great service and most importantly Honesty. Highly recommend read more

We always get the best service here! 10-out-of-10 I would recommend going here to any family or friend. Graham is always so friendly, and is the type of person you can tell is truly just running a good and honest business. Which I suppose is the most important trait a mechanic can have. He is patient when listening to you trying to describe anything you might think is wrong with your vehicle, even if you're reduced to making weird noises over the phone. He's even the type of guy who will help you load your bike onto the back of your car when you leave. We're so happy we found him as our go-to mechanic. read more

My 96 Nissan Hardbody Truck wasn't running. The mechanics at Hamden Mechanical identified the problem as a loose plug with a broken clip. If they wanted to they could have taken advantage, but were upfront about the plug and asked me what I had wanted to do about it. I decided to repair the plug myself and they will definitely earned my future business! read more

Was browsing through different repair shops and decided to get my car repaired here as the reviews from past customers were great. It was a great experience for me as well. Great customer service from quick responses to keeping me posted throughout the repair process. Really took the time and effort to troubleshoot current issues as well as future concerns with my vehicle. Appreciate the honesty and professionalism. Will definitely return for future repairs and I highly recommend for anyone. Thank you. read more

I've been taking my Honda-CRV to Graham for awhile. He's THE most honest, reliable, and skilled mechanic i've ever worked with. I've sent many friends to him and they've all been incredibly happy with his service. My AC Compressor went out today and Graham quickly solved the problem and did it at an affordable cost. He's the best in the business and i wouldn't dream of taking my car anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and take your vehicle to Hansen Mechanical. You'll be glad you did! 5 stars all the way. read more

Had a flat tire and Graham got me back on the road in less than 25 mins! Courteous ,professional, and trustworthy. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else! read more

Newer to town and have been looking to find a honest, trusted mechanic. I think my search has ended! Graham was really helpful and approachable and fixed a tire repair on the spot...he was super through and checked all of the tires to make sure all issues were resolved, which gave me peace of mind! read more

I'll never take my car anywhere else ever again! Graham is an excellent and patient communicator, is always very thorough, straightforward, honest and helpful. He always gets you in ASAP, clearly explains to you your issue or fix - and if you know little about cars (like me) even takes the time to show you. He is always very generous with his time and doesn't overcharge or get you to pay for things you don't need. I can't say enough good things about him and his crew! read more

Had an excellent experience here at Hansen Mechanical! Graham and Warren were both very professional and friendly. My car was leaking oil like crazy, and a lot of the places I called around were going to charge me $45 - $90 just to diagnose the problem. When I called, Graham told me to come down and that he'd take a look at the car free of charge. I think he was planning on taking a quick look to see if he could figure out the problem, but ended up going more in depth than he thought. Despite this, he only charged me for the chemicals he used up during the inspection. After about 30 minutes or so, Graham gave me a solid diagnosis and estimate for the costs, which was well under what I was expecting to pay. After the diagnosis, Graham told me that he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get to it within the week, and that I could take it to a different store. However, I was struck by his honesty and the customer service I had received so far, so I decided to keep my car there. He ended up being able to squeeze it in after 2 days! The oil leak had been completely fixed and his estimate was on-point. Overall, I had a great and honest experience here at Hansen Mechanical and will definitely be going back if I have any more car problems. They receive my highest recommendation! read more

The first mechanic I've been to in a really longtime that felt honest and affordable. Really happy I found these guys and will be using them permanently. Quality of work is as good as it gets. read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop. I was having an awful day starting with a flat tire. I showed up at Hansen's and Graham mounted, balanced and replaced my tire within 30 minutes. He was incredibly helpful and nice. He has worked on previous cars of ours and we will continue to keep our business here. read more

Graham was awesome. I had a pressing issue (water leaking into my car via sunroof) that was a quick fix and even though he was booked up for a week+ Graham heard the stress in my voice and told me to come down and he'd take care of my issue. Really nice guy. Right then I booked an appointment for him to work on my other car read more

Best mechanics I have ever worked with! Graham and Warren were both professional, friendly and affordable. They take time to explain what the issues are and don't pressure you into any extra work. I definitely recommend them. read more

Drove in without an appointment and was taken care of immediately, even though I was not the only customer there. Graham was super friendly and helpful in fixing my tire and checking my car for an upcoming road trip. I could not have asked for better service and will be going back to them from now on for all my car needs. read more

I've taken my car in here a few times and it's always a positive experience. Work is done quickly and pricing is more than reasonable. Honest work, nice people, always willing to help. Finding an honest mechanic is not easy, I always recommend Graham to friends that need work done. I drive across town to this shop too, it's worth it! read more

Everyone is familiar with the stereotypes behind auto mechanics, mostly negative. Graham and Hansen Mechanical are the exact opposite of every negative generalization people have about mechanics. Graham is an honest, hardworking, straightforward auto technician. He is the kind of person you want working on your car. Highly recommend!! read more

I live in se, but this is probably the only mechanic I'd ever be willing to drive across town for. Fast, thorough and ethical. Fixed a cooling problem on my car that I'd had for years that no one else could figure out! I couldn't recommend him enough... read more

Really good customer service at Hansen Mechanical, Graham did a great job on my FJ Cruiser he went above and beyond and it was affordable! Thanks Graham! read more

After moving to the Concordia neighborhood this summer, we reviewed Yelp to find a reliable and easily accessible auto mechanic. Hansen Mechanical received top ratings--and we now know why. The combination of honesty, strong communication, efficiency (getting a job done quickly and well), reasonable pricing, and geographic convenience makes us happy to have found Graham and his associates. They fixed a cracked turn signal, pumped up our tires, and debunked some common myths about tire pressure (helping to give us a smoother ride). While we hope to avoid many service needs, we have new peace of mind just knowing these guys are here when we need them. read more

I have never met a more thorough, honest, super reasonably priced, all around fantastic mechanic than Graham. I have recommended him to all of my friends and coworkers. I will never go to another shop as long as he is open for business. The best! read more

My car broke down on the side of the road and when I called AAA and told them I'd like a tow to Hansen Mechanical, the lady from AAA said, "Oh, we love those guys!" so I knew I was in good hands. Graham fit me in to his schedule right away and immediately gave me a comprehensive run down of what was going on, how he would fix it and at what cost. His price was way cheaper than I could have imagined and even with my short notice, I was back on the road in no time. When I picked up my car, it was cleaner than I had left it, it handles like a dream, and he had taken the time to do a full inspection to let me know of any problems I may have in the future and how much I might anticipate to fix it (just old tires and old brakes). It no longer sounds like I'm driving around in a giant metal rain stick! So glad I went to Hansen Mechanical and will certainly be back again soon to get some new tires and my brakes working like new. Thanks! read more

I live in the neighborhood--Graham and Warren were super friendly and helped me out with a dead battery for no charge. I'll absolutely go to them for more work. read more
