Hi, I am Mark Sanderson. I started Sanderson Auto Repair in 1985 and have owned & operated it ever since. I began my career in the automotive service and repair industry as an auto technician in 1978. Like many of our technicians, I have also earned my A.S.E Master Certification in 1982. In addition to my daily administrative responsibilities I still like to get under the hood and get my hands dirty.
Sanderson's service area is provided with the most modern equipment available and our ASE certified technicians undergo continuous training. Top training and equipment means whatever the make, model or age of your vehicle, we can find and fix the problem for less! The areas only AAA approved auto repair facility.
They are ready to listen to the concerns you have about your car, and are great at trying to get you an appointment within a few days, to get you safely back on the road. They are pleasant over the phone and in person, and offer text notifications of when your car is done. The many little touches help to make an often frustrating situation (of a car that needs repair) as convenient as possible.
Your Roadside Assistance Benefit is provided to you for free by the Sanderson Auto. Because you purchased tires or performed the service to your vehicle and is identified on your invoice. Your Roadside Assistance Benefit begins on the date identified on your original invoice from the participating facility and continues for a period of 12 months.
Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough. Improve the intake/output system. By allowing gas to get in and exhaust out of your vehicle you will improve the vehicle's overall performance and gas mileage.

On 6/21/21, my daughter and I were returning to Seattle in my 1999 Anniversary Edition Miata, after driving Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago. The overheating issue that had plagued us on and off for much of trip reared its ugly head again. Despite being super busy, Aaron Bjorkland and his crew were kind enough to squeeze us in. They were very thorough in running various tests; they found the problem - an intermittently faulty thermostat. It was replaced and we had no further issues on the trip home. THANK YOU SO MUCH

A big thank you to the folks at Sanderson Auto. My Acura had several dashboard warning lights/errors come on while gassing up on our way through town. Not knowing the area I took a shot on Sanderson and glad I did. Very professional, very accommodating and very good communication. I think it says a lot about a company when they go the extra mile to help somebody who likely won’t be a customer in the future. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing auto repair in Albert Lea.

Have to give a huge shout out to Mark Sanderson. We had a guest with vehicle issues stranded in Albert Lea. Even though it’s a holiday weekend they went above and beyond to make sure the guest had everything they needed out of their vehicle. Thank you so much for making a stressful situation better. You are very appreciated!!

This place literally defines the phrase "highway robbery." They charged over THREE TIMES the price for parts compared to other shops. The alternator part they replaced can be found online anywhere from $70 - $120, yet the charged over $300 for it. They knew they had us where they wanted us, as we were several hundred miles away and our vehicle had… been towed to their facility by AAA because they are AAA approved. When asked about the exorbitant prices, the response was one that essentially rag out, "We've got you where we want you." They knew it'd cost us as much to have it towed to a more
