Review №1

My wife and I are on day five of a two month RV adventure. While checking into Myre-Big Island Campground in Albert Lea, MN, we noticed a screw embedded on one tire of our trailer. We ask for a recommendation and were directed to Hanson Tire Service in Albert Lea. If I could add a star to the review I would. My wife called and spoke to Kelly who told her to bring the trailer in. Upon arriving at their location, I walked into the waiting room / office, introduced myself and within five minutes had a mechanic walking with me out to the trailer. From start to finish we were rolling again, tire patched, in 30 minutes. Double thumbs up to Hanson Tire Service.

We pulled in at 7:00 on a Saturday morning with a screw in our tire—ahead of a 500-mile trip. Your staff was able to plug our tire and get us back on the road in short order. We made it to our destination and back without further pressure loss. Friendly, competent service at a low price! THANK YOU!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Great team at Hanson Tire! We blew a boat trailer tire and they took care of us immediately. They were done before we filled up our gas tank and returned to find it outside ready and waiting!

Excellent service and they stand behind their work. I would highly recommend for tire and alignment service.

Unprofessional, manager sold me tires that where manufactured 7 years ago and service technician did not place valve stem in properly and left me stranded on road with flat tire. Walmart is better and cheaper!

If I could give a 0 I would. Ive been there 3 times now and everytime I go, the receptionist is extremely rude and is always bothered when customers ask questions. Highly do NOT RECOMMEND

We have a new RV and know nothing about RVs. Ha! After terrifying myself about tire blowout from reading too many RV forums, we pulled into Hanson. I dealt with the most awesome man — I think his name was Kelvin— who not only checked our tire pressure, but gave my husband and I a little lesson on tires, too. Also offered great humor and tips for our next destination.

I was on a road trip when a tire started losing air rapidly. Got the spare on and drove to nearby town (Albert Lea) to hopefully get a fix. Called to see if they were available and mentioned we were in a road trip. The guy on the phone said, “Oh we don’t help people on road trips. I’m just kidding. Come in anytime”. We thought this was quite funny considering I was going to have to get angry soon. Very friendly and cool people working. They are your typical goober type of guys that would work at a tire place. Once we arrived we told them our problem and they helped us within 30 mins and cheap price . They patched the tire up and put it back on. Finally, we got on our way with a smile on our faces.

I had driven from out of town and ended up with a tire rapidly losing air. They were able to get me in after hours and fix the tire rapidly so I could make my trip home. The service was also friendly and very reasonably priced. Thank you, thank you.

Had a tire emergency while passing thru town. Needed tires replaced and the closest available was Hanson. Price was a bit steep comparing brand and models to other outlet. Service was ok as they were able to get me in within a 2 hour period of wait.

Great customer service creates great experiences. Great customer service is usually produced by great people. Calvin (kelvin?) is one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever run into, on a day when I needed it most. On a long travel I had an issue with my car and it happened around 5:30 on a weeknight when most places are closed/closing. Calvin stayed late just to lend me some aid and advice. He stayed in touch with me through the entire process. From the front lobby to the mechanics in the garage, nothing but good people. Highly recommend.

Review №26

We were heading to a 60th wedding celebration with two hours behind us when our car got hit hard by a straight-line wind which popped a piece loose under the engine compartment. We were caught in a torrential downpour and I couldnt slide under the car to do anything with it without getting soaking wet, and the piece that came loose would just flop up and down if we tried to drive at all. A tow truck took us to Hanson Tire, where they put the car on a lift and accessed the damage. Two bolts that held the front of a heavy plastic guard pan had broken off leaving only the back two bolts holding it in place. The mechanic said he could simply remove the remaining two bolts and the plastic piece (since it wouldnt have any effect on the car), place it in a bag for us and we could be back on our way. Okay...do it! When the mechanic was finished (just a few minutes later) he pulled the car around to the front walked in and handed me the keys saying There you go!. The person at the service desk asked if he had to use anything. No, just took it off, put in in a bag and placed it in the back of the vehicle. was his reply. I asked how much I owed her and her reply was Theres no charge...he didnt have to use any parts so theres no charge for this. UNBELIEVABLE...I thought those days were long gone! Wonderful service and super nice people. They really helped us out in a jamb!

These folks are absolutely top-notch. We had a wheel bearing fail on our way home from Colorado to Wisconsin at 2:30am in Alden, got a tow to Hansen’s, and walked in at 6:45am on a Friday as they knew we had been on the road for 24 hours and lacking sleep. They had us out the door with a replaced bearing before 9:00am, not to mention they were incredibly personable, friendly, prompt, and you can just tell these are good people. More businesses need to be run this way. Way to go, Hansen’s - thank you for getting us home to our families.

Review №29

Excellent service!!! We had a blown tire on the interstate on our camper. Changed the tire ourselves but decided we needed 4 new tires. Called Hansons, they said they were busy but would put us on the list. We got there 30 minutes later, in less than half hour they had all 4 tires changed and we were ready to get back to our vacation. While we were waiting though one of the mechanics struck up a conversation with us about our vacation. He told us what sites we should see and what was maybe a little too hyped up. Very friendly people, highly recommended.

Driving across the country and thought I had a brake line leak or something major. Called at 7:30 am and truck was on the rack at 8 with no appointment. Mechanic looked it over no leaks just needed a bleed. Most places would try to hose you over knowing you are on a long haul. Everyone from the gentleman at the counter to the mechanic were friendly and knowledgeable. Happy customer

Called about getting tire patched with less than an hour left in their work day. Said No problem! Great staff and service. Bauer Built wouldnt service me and they had no one in their garage with less than an hour in their workday...went down the road. Its all about customer service and they provided.

Review №36

Customer Relations/ Service Manager is friendly enough, but the capability and quality of their technicians is frightful. Professionalism is not their forte. I would choose else where if you value the functionality, dependability, safety & appearance of your vehicle.

Review №41

My wheel almost fell off after a tire change less than 10 miles down the road and they suggested an expensive repair (telling me that my cars front end would fall apart very soon if I didnt - Ooooh, scare tactics) that my regular tech told me was completely unnecessary. Its been a year and my front end is still in good condition.

Review №44

I consistently find that after having my tires rotated here they are out of balance and i need to bring it in again within a week. I have also had a couple times where they did a monthly inspection, then within a week or so i have a big issue that they somehow missed. For example recently had an oil change and tire rotation and inspection, but less than 2 weeks later BOTH my rear struts were broken (that Hanson had already replaced within the past year). Brought my car somewhere else and they said its very unlikely they both broke within a week and that its pretty much impossible that they wouldnt have noticed it 2 weeks prior. Either Hanson is just bad at their job or theyre intentionally leaving things bad in the hopes that itll cause more issues and ill come spend more money. The second shop i brought it to said it was very unsafe that they let me drive on it. I wont be bringing my car here again and definitely wont recommend it to friends. The customer service is always friendly, though.

While traveling from Minneapolis to St. Louis Thanksgiving weekend, I needed nitrogen (air) in one of my tires. I pulled in, they took the car right away (even though they were kinda busy). Topped of all four tires and had me out in about 15 minutes. I went to the front to settle up and was told (with a smile) that it was no charge! If you ever need tire or car service,I highly recommend Hanson Tire Service in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Thanks!

Review №47

Hanson tire told us the bill for 4 new tires on my girlfriends Honda Civic would be $445 for mount, balance and installation. After 2 hours and 40 minutes we received the bill at $604.We had asked them to read a check engine code that had came on a few days earlier. Something that every single parts store in our town will do for free, mind you. And they charged us $44 to have the code checked, which we didnt know it would cost until we had the bill.Very unimpressed with the communication skills, how much they charged us over the original quote and how long it took to do a very simple job.

We were in a bad spot, van making noises on the highway while far from home. Hanson got us in right away, even though it was 4:30p on a Friday! Very helpful people worked hard to find anything wrong with the van. The mechanic was clearly concerned about making sure the van was safe for our kids. Made us feel confident there was nothing serious wrong with the van. Would definitely go back. Thanks!

My wife had another shop look at her vehicle for replacing tires and quickly sent her out, unresolved. Hanson Tires spent extra time figuring out the problem and solved it. They even tightened something else unrelated and didnt charge anything extra.Thanks! You guys are the best!

These guys suck, I had my wife bring in my car for an oil change while I was deployed overseas, first of all they treated her like an idiot when she went in, and when I got home and did my own oil change they had tightened the plug so tight I could barely get it loose (and I am not a small guy). Long story short, dont waste your time with these guys go somewhere else

December 8, 2016 I found my experience at Hanson Tire Service to be the most unprofessional experience. I had wanted a nitrogen fill on my tires, but one of the workers went off on me like i was wasting their time. If you are planning to go there, think again and go somewhere else.
