Hanson's Automotive Service - This sign isn't just for looks. They live it! - Auto Repair Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Only towed my vehicle to this place because it was closeby and they said they could look at it the day of. They didn't even pull it into the garage and charged me $74 to tell me I needed a new Starter Motor. Which was already known. So here's the full story-- Called early morning Wednesday (7:09am), The mechanic that answered looked at the schedule and said he could take a look and to bring it in. It was towed and dropped off at 7:50am. They couldn't get to it (I'm a single mom so had to rent a car to pick up my son from school) They called me the following day Thursday at 12:40pm, telling me they didn't pull it into the garage or run a full diagnostic as I requested, but instead they tried starting it up and that the Starter Motor needs to be replaced. (We figured that much) -- Noticing I will need an oil change soon they added that in, for a total of $880.00 for the repair. I asked for the price without the oil change and she said $728. NEARLY $160 for an oil change is absurd. When I asked about the diagnostic and why I was being charged for a diagnostic when they didnt even give me any information we didnt already know, and they didnt run a full diagnostic, I was faced with an attitude and told "we could have charged you $140 for an hour of diagnostics, but we only charged you for a half-hour". I'm sorry does pushing the start button on a vehicle take 30 minutes? As someone that lives a block away and this is the most convenient place, I STILL wouldn't go back. Even the guys at O'Reilys said they were total rip offs. read more

I have been bringing both of my cars to Hanson's for a few years now. Mike and team are direct, honest, and give it to you straight, good or bad news. I have tried different shops all over the Nashua, Merrimack, Amherst, Tyngsboro area, including dealerships, as far north as Manchester, I have yet to find any place that beats Mike's prices, and service. Truly a rare find, thank you Mike and Lilly! read more

Had brakes, oil change, inspections done here. Mike is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and on time. I prefer to use a local business over a national chain whenever I can. Happy to use this shop whenever possible. read more

Honesty is very important to me- I think you'll be impressed. I found Mike to be helpful and straightforward. If they can do it- you bet I'll take it here. read more

When they got the new owner it went downhill. He has no service hands on experience other than a manager at a Mercedes dealership. The original owner for 40 plus years treated his customers with respect and fairness. Now its all about the money. Its sad that the old school the old owner took pride on is gone. Then to talk disrespectful about about everyone to satisfy his needs is wrong. I had the utmost respect for the original owner it's an insult to carry the same name. read more

They did a good job on fixing my car and getting it ready for state inspection. Feel safe with my car on the road again thanks for getting the work done so fast... read more

Remember when you could trust your local mechanic and other local small businesses? This is the mechanic shop that should be the business model taught in schools of all kinds. They win #1 spot for trustworthiness, accuracy, honesty....you name it! After using a dealership (me) or a chain service center (husband) for convenience and getting crap service and poor workmanship (not to mention dishonest service) time and time again, we somehow stumbled upon this gem. We have been using Hanson's for a bit over a year now, and we get consistently quality and honest work. Sure, you have to call ahead and schedule for routine maintenance or non-emergent service, but you will be so happy with the work AND the bill that you will question why you didn't go here sooner. read more

I lived in NH for about 8 years and always used Hanson's. I'm not knowledgeable about cars so a mechanic can rip me off if they want to. With Dennis, I never had that concern - The bill was always less than I was afraid it might be, and on more than one occasion they made a small repair or correction and didn't charge me at all. I recently moved to southern Florida and the last thing I did was ask Dennis to look over my vehicle and make sure it would safely get me 1800 miles in 72 hours. He found two things he felt were worth correcting, and the car performed flawlessly despite being 15 years old. I can't imagine what qualifications a shop would have to offer that would make them better than Hanson's. Five stars, and all the personal recommendation I can offer read more

Daughter had problem with brake noise, I looked online and saw good reviews and expected honest and genuine operators. Knew my daughter needed to get on the road. Up-charged AutoZone parts 100%, and $180 per hr labor for a 30 minute job. When I questioned over the phone, said he was a business man and needed to make money, said he would reduce price by removing some items. Of course that was a flat out lie, charged my daughter knowing she wasn't aware. Could they be good mechanics? Maybe. People you want to give your business to? Not a chance. read more

Took my vehicle today for the first time. Excellent service, good conversation and great prices. Love keeping the small mom and pop in business. Good honest work done right! read more

I used this shop for years and they did a great job repairing all of my cars. Mr. Hanson is very nice and extremely fair to everyone. The quality of work is high and the prices are reasonable. The only reason I stopped going here is I bought cars that needed special tools, etc. that they did not have. I would not hesitate to go back to Hanson's with different cars. read more

I had a used car checked out by Hanson's. They quoted me a fantastic price over the phone. I was able to wait while the did the inspection. Great guys. Highly recommend. read more

I recently moved to New Hampshire and am so relieved to have found such an honest and reliable mechanic. My car is old and needs extra love; the guys at Hanson have been wonderful.

Hansons is the best place for car repair in Southern NH. Honest and hardworking, these guys know their cars as well as their customer service! I will only bring my car there! read more

I have never been so happy to find such a great automotive shop that you can trust. I was so sick of other places always trying to talk you into fixing additional things in your car. With Hanson's I called the very 1st time and they said just to bring the car and they'd check it for me. After checking my car they EXPLAINED the issue and I didn't feel any pressure into fixing it because it wasn't an issue that needed immediate attention. When I finally did go back for them to fix it the price and the overall customer service was exceptional. I've been going to them for a little over a year and won't go anywhere else. If you're looking for honest, hardworking mechanics with great service this small shop is it. I recommend this 100%. read more

At about 3 pm on a Friday, the eve of a long Columbus Day holiday weekend, my truck broke down in Nashua, NH. I was en route from the Boston area to Vermont, so nowhere near home or my destination with no likely chance of getting a repair before the following week. Alternator was shot - no electronics working, truck would not start. I called several local car repair places that I Googled. Fortunately, I reached Mike at Hanson's. He diagnosed the problem, shopped for the best price on a replacement, helped arrange a tow to his shop and promised to stay late if necessary to get me back on the road. I was back on the road by 4:15 with a new alternator. Another car repair, knowing I was in a bind, tried to gouge me with a price $200 higher than Hanson's charged me - with no offer to help me get it repaired that day. Mike's shop was impressive -- clean and orderly. His customer service and price were excellent and much appreciated by a motorist in a bind. Thank you Mike and Hanson's. read more

Friendly, honest and competent. Great mechanic! I would highly recommend Hanson's.

Finally, an automotive service in Nashua that I can comfortably rate as five stars. Reliable and prompt service combined with reasonable prices make this firm the best I've encountered in the greater Nashua area. read more

Have a good sense of urgency. Did the job neat and clean. Comfortable to leave my car when needed and believe it's in safe hands.

These guys are the best in Nashua, hands down. My parents go through here for all automotive needs and they passed that onto me. When i was looking for my first car, they made sure i was getting a great car without any hidden issues. Now that i have that car, when any issues do arrive you will find my car here being fixed. Genuine, honest and they get the job done right without cleaning out my wallet read more

This has got to be the only garage left that will talk you out of doing work that is a waste of money. They have kept all my new-er and crappy old cars together at a very reasonable price. Don't retire Dennis! read more

My neighbor Ann recommended Dennis and Hanson's to me. I could not have been happier with his service on both of my cars. I agree with the previous reviewers. Honest, trustworthy, and fair describe Dennis and his repair service. Jay R. Nashua, NH read more

The best place to go, labor is reasonable, repair time too. If Dennis says you don't need the part, he's saving you a lot of money. I would not take my caddliac any place. GREAT JOB DENNIS I GIVE YOU A 100 STARS. read more

I have used Hanson's Automotive for more than 20 years. It all started when my ex-wife's Aunt told me about them and how happy she was with their work. Since then I have only used Hanson's and never looked back. Dennis and his fellow employees have been nothing but exceptional in every issue I have had in whatever vehicle I happened to own at that time. They are Honest, Knowledgeable and Fair. Try them once and you will never go anywhere else. Make sure to schedule your appointment, they are very busy ALL THE TIME, so scheduling is best. read more

Love this place! Such honest people. Get it done right. The waiting area is crap but worth the great old fashioned service. Won't trust anyone else! read more

I'm not sure why it's so hard to find an honest good mechanic, but these guys are the real deal. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. I recommend these guys to everyone. read more

Truly the most honest and trust worthy mechanic in the area. I've taken my car their twice in the last few years thinking it was something expensive and both times it's been either nothing and a minor adjustment or most recently it was something that cost me $15. If you need anything for your car, bring it to this place if you want honesty and want it done correctly! read more

One of the worst experiences I have had! I brought my car here for some work to be done and it wasn't until a few days later I noticed they made a mistake. I didn't care too much about that, but what I took offense to was the attitude of the owner. When I returned, he was very rude by essentially shrugging his shoulders and telling me "eh it happens". Then when I tried to ask questions about it, he told me I had no idea what I was talking about. I admit I don't know a lot about cars, but that is why I was hoping to ask an "expert". He was extremely condescending and I have made a point to warn people who are looking for a mechanic of this place. read more
