In the past she hosted for TLC's automotive-themed shows Rides, and Million Dollar Motors. Hansen has been a spokes-model for Matco Tools,[citation needed] Dodge, and Rolls-Royce. Her participation in Overhaulin' was far from superficial; she helped with the disassembling and assembly of cars for the show. Additionally, Hansen wrote a column for FHM, and has written a nationally syndicated automotive newspaper column titled "Courtney Hansen: Full Throttle" since 2005. She is the published author of The Garage Girl's Guide To Everything You Need To Know About Your Car, a book offering women and first time car buyers advice on how to care for their cars.
