Hans’ Auto Service

My family has been taking our Hondas, Toyotas and Lexus to Hans since 1994 – 1995. I’ve since moved to CA but whenever I’m in AZ, and my car is due for an oil & filter change or any other maintenance, Hans is the only mechanic I bother contacting. Today I brought my 1998 Lexus ES300 to Hans for an oil & filter change. I’ll be back in 3 months if I’m still here in AZ! I highly recommend Hans’ Auto Service. He’s got 30+ years of professional experience, and his price is reasonable.

My husband, Chet, found Hans on Unilocal thanks to all your positive reviews! Hans is awesome! Have taken all our cars there already and perfect service! Highly recommend Hans for your car repair needs!

This review is a long time coming. When I was in high school I had an Acura Integra. To me it was the coolest car ever. Since I bought it used I wanted to make sure it was always in great condition. Like many high schoolers with cool cars, I took pride in my car. When it came time to service my car I asked my friend for a recommendation. He recommended Hans. Hans was always very professional and honest. He never tried to sell me service I didn’t need. He kept my car in top condition. When I sold it I told the new owner to make sure to take his new car to Hans!

This is the best auto mechanic I have ever found he has done maintenance on my cars since 2004. My Acura integra and now my Honda Accord. The only reason I brought a Honda Accord is because I knew Hans would only work on Toyota’s, Honda’s and Nissan’s, so I made sure I bought another Honda so that I could have Hans work on it and no one else! He is simply the best, if you want quality work for a fair price go to Hans!

We’ve been going to Hans for almost 10 years. He’s worked on our Toyotas and our Subaru; and I have never known a better mechanic. Like all these other people have said, Hans is honest, quick and informative without being condescending. He always uses factory parts but he doesn’t charge the high prices of a dealership for his labor. I don’t know how he does it but we can bring our car in on any day M-​Th and get it back within 1 – 2 days no matter how complicated and time consuming the repairs. I’ve known people to drive all the way across town to go to Hans. He’s that good! There is no need to even try another shop.

We’ve been taking Toyota and Honda to Hans for years. The work is done well and promptly. He is honest, nice and does good work. And his prices are fair.
The minuses — the waiting room is about a 2. There is a TV and a couch and a closeby restroom. Just don’t expect car dealer trappings — you aren’t paying for them either. (It is clean, etc., but if you are there for the day. .. it won’t be a ton of fun.)
And there is a nice thrift store within walking distance.

I’ve taken my car to Hans twice. Once my Camry and once my mazda mpv. Both times Hans has been very nice, completed the world at a reasonable price. I would even say under priced though car repairs aren’t cheap.
There are 2 things Hans does that puts him ahead of the rest. 1. is his honesty, you can tell that he isn’t trying to hustle you or take advantage of you, most car people talk down to you but not Hans. 2. is when he diagnosis the problem he tells you the cost and recommends any additional work that needs to be done. For my Camry my AC condenser had a whole in it but he said I need to pull our your radiator anyway and that is in bad shape (something hit the radiator and pushed back into the condenser that put a hole in condenser so the radiator was on its last leg) if you want to replace the radiator I will only charge you for the part since I have to pull it out anyway to fix the condenser. When I went to the shop to pick up the Camry he showed the hole in the condenser and where the radiator was damaged.
For the Mazda there was a a coolant leak. He originally diagnosed it as a leak in a hose but when we was taking that apart the water pump casein crumbled on him so that had to be replaced also even after that he found another leak in a hose but since he didn’t see that at the original diagnosis he didn’t charge to fix that and apologized for the delay and I ended up saving about $ 150 on that job (not that he’s going to do that for everyone) but that shows his character and why he is my go to mechanic.
FYI his business hours are Monday — Thursday 8−5pm. He is closed on Friday.

Hans’ is the go to guy for all of my family’s Toyotas and Hondas. We have been going to him for years and he is not only reasonably priced but he is knowledgeable and doesn’t play the games others do. My husband does the car stuff and he likes being able to trust Hans to not jerk us around. While the place isn’t the most convenient location, when you are serviced correctly and efficiently and you still have a buck or two left to go to the original Dillions around the corner .you know you came to the right place.

So my family has taken our cars to Hans for years now. Hans has by proven himself to be trustworthy and fair. We almost always get our cars back the same or next day other than a few times and that was only because it took an extra day to get the part (not his fault I’m sure!)
This most recent time, I was actually a bit flabbergasted at the price he quoted me. Especially after I did some research online. A new AC compressor? $ 1000? Yikes! The dealership quoted me $ 1000. No difference, I realize that, but dealerships are always much more expensive, especially compared to Hans.
Now what it turned out to be is that I got a brand new AC compressor directly from the dealer. The price also included «freon, evacuate & recharge a/​c system, flush a/​c system, inspect for leaks» which would have been extra if repaired at the dealership. And we got the car back within 24 hours! Happy customer once again Hans! Thanks!
