Remember the day when we bought our gas and someone came to the pumps and pumped the gas and washed the windows. That is what we do for you. We, at Hansen’s Sinclair are a locally owned and family operated business in Ames, Iowa. We have been in business since 2004 and expanded the business to our CARS location in 2007.

In any weather day or night we will be out to your vehicle to greet you with a friendly face and smile. We are as American as it gets. As a full service automotive repair and detailing shop we can do any kind of repair you would need at a reasonable price. We never do any of the work unless you as the consumer and customer give us the go ahead to do the work. Mark believes that honesty is always the best policy when telling people what is wrong with their vehicles. That honesty and willingness to communicate has been one of the biggest reasons we have been named the best automotive repair shop in Story County, Iowa for the last six years in a row. We are as classic Americana as you can get. Ask us any questions and we will give you our best answer. Come visit us at the Corner of Lincoln Way and Duff in Ames, Iowa. We are as American as you can get.. There are 11 employee's plus the Owner Mark Hansen and his mother Jan Hansen. Any sub-contracting for repairs is done through the businesses we have worked out deals with. For the service and billing procedures are listed as the following. 1. Either stop in or call in and set up an appointment. We do take walk ins. 2. When dropping the car, truck, or SUV off fill out a work order. 3. We then will take a look at it. 4. We call with a description of the problem and the estimated cost of repair. We never repair it until we get the ok from the customer. 5. Once we get the ok we do the repair. 6. We will call when done. 7. You can pay with cash, local check, credit/debit cards when done at the time of pick up.

It was excellent. They were very professional. They were honest and have great integrity. They came in under their cost quote by 25%. If you are from out of town and looking for someone to work on your car, they are the place to go to.
Description of Work: They replaced the belt tensioner. They towed the car from a competitor to their business.

Itook my 2004 Toyota Camry XLE in for 3 estimates for this job, 2 of them to places to which I have had no qualms about the quality of their sevice. The first estimate was and quot;start $600and quot;. The second was for about $300, although they really were not sure what had to be done. Mark Hansen did not even give me an estimate. They just fixed it. The mechanic knew exactly what he was doing, and the owner was informative and helpful. Total cost: About $57. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Description of Work: Replaced a frozen bolt in the left front of the rear subframe (part of the chassis).

They got me in immediately. On the previous problem, we weren't happy. He modified the bill for us. They are honest and trustworthy and would not do unnecessary repairs. They will work with you on the bill.
Description of Work: They replaced an ignition switch on the steering column.
