    Changed fan
    Andrii B.

    I needed urgently change my AC fan because it was broken and only these guys helped me on Saturday morning. It didn't take a lot of time for them to fix the problem and everything was installed properly. I was really surprised with affordable price as well. Next time I'll definitely come back here! Thank you guys

    Went here for a brake job for my 2010 Toyota Corolla. This small shop is located among other auto mechanic shops, near the trolley. Two mechanics run the place and they did an excellent job replacing the pads and my parking brake works almost too good now. Charged $257 for front and rear and paid with my VISA (no additional fee).

    After calling multiple auto shops asking for a diagnosis check quote, Sami was the only one that said he would check the problem for free (everyone else $140). My car was overheating. I pulled up, him and his team popped the hood up and got to work immediately. Most places would have put my car aside then would inform me the problem 3 hrs later. Sam and his team took about 5 mins to diagnose and had my part ordered. They ended up finding additional issues (the root problem), they kept me informed the entire time. Sam was upfront about pricing and was fair. $288 out the door for 3 parts and 2 hrs of labor. Anywhere else would have been $400+ easy. Sam and his team truly know what they are doing and have great customer service. I'm so relieved I found my new mechanic.

    Replaced my brakes and rotors on short notice and got it done quick and easy, and the price was the lowest around.

    I brought my vehicle here at the direction of my warranty company for a squeaking noise in the…read moresteering wheel. I dropped the car off at 8:30 a.m. and was told by 2:00 p.m. that the issue was diagnosed as a clock spring and repaired. Upon picking up the vehicle, the squeaking noise was immediately present. I returned to the shop, where the technician sprayed WD-40 into the steering wheel area. The noise subsided for approximately one week and then returned. I contacted the shop again and was instructed to bring the vehicle back. During this visit, I also requested an oil change and tire rotation. I was then informed that my vehicle had an oil leak and that the upper control arms needed to be replaced, which they claimed was the cause of the steering noise. After picking up my vehicle a week later, the squeaking noise was still present. I documented this on video and immediately notified the shop via phone and email. Due to it being Christmas week, I brought the vehicle back the following Monday. Before I was able to do so, while backing out of my garage, I heard severe metal-on-metal grinding, as if the vehicle were coming apart. This noise had never occurred prior to this shop working on my vehicle. I immediately contacted them and was told that other components may need replacement and that they were not responsible. Additionally, after their tire rotation, my custom Range Rover valve stem caps were removed and replaced with mismatched, rusty caps (one was missing entirely). The wheel lock key was left loose in the trunk, and the spare tire cover was not reinstalled. Given the severity of the situation, I filed a formal complaint with my warranty company. They ultimately approved a diagnostic inspection at the Range Rover dealership. The findings were extremely concerning. The dealership documented negligent workmanship by Supreme Auto, including: Bolts not properly tightened Missing fasteners Components left loose As a result, the brake dust shield was dangling and a bolt was rubbing against the rotor, damaging the brake pad and sensors and creating a serious safety hazard. The dealership further confirmed that the original steering wheel noise was caused by a foam component on the steering shaft that required lubrication -- not a clock spring, which Supreme Auto billed and was paid for. To restore my vehicle to a safe operating condition, I am now responsible for $2,967 out of pocket. I provided Supreme Auto with dealership videos, documentation, and reports. Despite this evidence, they offered only $463 to "tighten bolts," while claiming they did not perform brake work. While that is true, the issue was not brake service -- it was improper reassembly and failure to secure critical components affecting steering and braking systems. For the record, my brakes were inspected in August, and this vehicle is not driven daily. Thankfully, my warranty company has since removed Supreme Auto from their approved network. I hope this review prevents others from experiencing a similar situation. All I requested was that they take responsibility and pay the dealership directly to correct the unsafe conditions created by their workmanship. They may deny responsibility, but the evidence -- dealership video, written report, and another independent mechanic review -- clearly documents the cause. This is not acceptable or ethical business practice

The check engine light was on so we couldn't smog it. Took it up our mechanic in Santee and they found a problem with the catalytic converter. They said one side was bad and recommended Hanson's to get it fixed. I called Hanson's and was able to get an appointment for the next day. While the car was there they found another problem that was an inexpensive fix. They were able to install the cat and make the other fix the same day. Overall I am very impressed with the work, service, and advice/direction I received from Hanson's.

    1 Star - Would Not Recommend…read more I went to Ed Hanson's Muffler for a simple resonator/muffler delete, basic exhaust work. This shop used to have a solid reputation, which is the only reason I chose it. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. I arrived when they opened and clearly explained that I did not want to be stuck there all day. I don't live close by, and I needed to pick up my daughter from school later. I specifically told them I was completely fine dropping the car off and coming back once it was finished if the job was going to take a while. They laughed and said that wouldn't be necessary, and that they'd be in trouble if a job like this took that long, implying it would be done quickly. Instead, the work dragged on for most of the day. I was repeatedly told it was "almost done," which kept me waiting there instead of leaving. Had they been honest upfront, I would have left and returned later without any issue. During this time, the employee working on the car moved extremely slowly, frequently stopping to socialize, smoke, eat, and take extended breaks. There was no sense of urgency and no respect for my time. Because of this, I nearly ended up late picking up my daughter from school, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by offering to drop the car off in the first place. To make matters worse, the final result was disappointing. The piping looks sloppy and unprofessional, like basic budget muffler work, yet the price was unreasonably high for the quality delivered. Ed Hanson's may have been a respectable shop at one point, but based on my experience and many others now a days, that standard is no longer there. Don't waste your hard-earned money or your time.
