Family owned. Selling cars in the Thumb since 1952.
Al Hanson sold his first car in 1952. Forty years later, in 1992, he opened Al Hanson Motors, Inc. right here in Bad Axe, and he's been on the lot ever since. Over 60 years in the business — this is not his first rodeo.
We're a small dealership on purpose. When you stop in you'll deal with the owner, not a sales floor. We know most of our customers by name, and a lot of them are on their third or fourth vehicle from us.
Every vehicle we sell is inspected inch by inch and guaranteed. If we don't have what you're looking for, tell us and we'll go find it.

Every vehicle we sell is examined inch by inch, inside and out, in our 101-point inspection to make sure it is in tip-top working condition before it reaches the lot.
Our vehicles are guaranteed. We'd rather fix something before you buy than have you find it after, and we stand behind what we sell.
If you can't find the car you want on our lot, we'll work with you to find it. We'd rather locate the right vehicle than sell you the wrong one.
More than 60 years of selling cars the same way: honestly, in person, with a handshake. Three generations of Thumb-area families have bought from Al.
You'll usually find Al at his desk or out on the lot. Our office handles titles and paperwork the same day, and our certified mechanics are in the shop out back putting the next arrivals through their inspection.
Looking for a bargain? Our Economy Lot carries lower-priced vehicles sold as-is with no dealer warranties — honest transportation at an honest price. Ask us what's on it.
