Hanson Tire Service

I was working away from home when my car developed a flat tire in Albert Lea. Hanson Tire Service was located nearby, so the tow truck brought my vehicle there. It was late Friday afternoon, and the team went out of their way to ensure my tire was back in service to return me home safely. Despite over an hour of work they only charged me $30. Customer focused professionals like this crew deserve more recognition than ever.

Got me in and out in a half hour on a Saturday, right before they closed. 4 new tires on our camper as we were traveling to the South Dakota. Great price, Great people.

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!

Good place to get work done on your vehicle. Quick and friendly service. Competitive pricing.

We had a slow leak in a tire on a cross-country road trip. We stopped at Hanson Tire to have it repaired. I had several interactions with two technicians in the shop and two people in the front area. Everyone was extremely, almost shockingly friendly. The tire was fixed within 40 minutes of my arrival on a Tuesday afternoon, at a reasonable price. I hope to get a flat tire near them again some day.

They were so awesome! I called in the morning and they got me in the very same day to look at my car! I had gotten an estimate from another repair service and I wanted a second opinion. They took the time to explain to me what was actually wrong with my vehicle (instead of what the other people were trying to rip me off for)! They are so nice here! If you are looking to get a car repaired or to get tires, (from what I understand) this is definitely the first place I would check in Albert Lea and the surrounding area! They are very friendly at the service desk and the mechanic took time to come out of the shop and explain things to me and he talked to me for a very long time! I was extremely impressed that he took the time to come out of the shop and actually speak to me! Thank you very much for the awesome service!!

Car broke down unexpectedly. We were referred here by another mechanic who was too busy...Hanson fit us in right away and got us back into the road within two hours (new alternator). We were in town to visit our family's father, grandfather, and father-in-law. Thank you for making a difficult day better.

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!

I go here every 5000 miles for a tire rotation and oil change. The front of the house crew is always a pleasure to see and they have a good crew working behind the scenes in the garage. Thanks guys.

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.

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.

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.

I was traveling from out of town,
( used to live here) was worried about getting back home for work. The folks at Hanson squeezed me in and were very kind. The gentleman that I spoke with even listened to me tell stories about my uncle Lloyd, who used to work there for many years.

Called about getting tire patched with less than an hour left in their work day. Said "No problem!" Great staff and service. Bauer Built wouldn't service me and they had no one in their garage with less than an hour in their workday...went down the road. It's all about customer service and they provided.

Rockstar Service on a Sunday! Got a referral from a friend to call Tiffany at Hanson Tire on a Sunday afternoon while stranded on the side of the road with no spare. Tiffany gladly took my call and dispatched tire tech Zach Gordon to help me out. Zach showed up in record time, was clean, well spoken, professional and most of all knew his stuff. He got me back on the road again well ahead of expectations. As a manager of a similar type of organization i know enough not to take this kind of service for granted. Thanks Tiffany and Zach for going above and beyond.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
