Horrible experience. Went for emission test, locked my car doors and left the keys for the guy. When my turn came, the guy pulled the door without unlocking the door and broke my car handle. When I spoke to them, he mentioned that he broke it and asked me to wait until Monday to talk with the owner. When I called, the owner said bottom line “I am not paying or repairing for your handle and I am not responsible”, but his employee was responsible!

Their emissions service is very fast and efficient, but prices for repair work are extremely expensive. I recently brought in my girlfriend's daughter's car for an emissions test and it failed due to the check engine light being on from an evap leak. After paying $130 for an evap smoke test which indicated a leak at the fuel pump they wanted $500 to replace the fuel pump flange and o ring (deposit required before they would begin the work). The parts came to about $100, which left a labor charge of $400. Also they stated there was no guarantee that this would fix the problem since the fuel pump bolts were frozen by rust, and supposedly if they broke, the whole gas tank would then need to be replaced.I declined the service and simply pulled up the rear seat which provided access to the fuel pump through a small panel and applied a fuel resistant sealant to the fuel pump and flange, which took less than an hour and fixed the leak, and the car was then able to pass emissions. Even if i were to unbolt and remove the fuel pump, then replace the flange and o ring myself it wouldn't have taken me longer than 2 hours, so i don't understand how they came up with the extortion price for the labor.

I’ve done every inspection here and it is always fast efficient and straight forward. Just bring your $20 cash and that’s it in and out in less than 15 minutes.

Incredibly pleasant experience! Not only are the workers knowledgeable of their trade, but they are honest and truthful too. The team are very efficient in their diagnostics and were able to explain ans solve the problems I've brought to them over the years. Through their diligence towards Quality work, they've earned my loyalty. I've since moved to litchfield County, but I will continue to bring my car to Hamlins.

Brought a modified subaru with full catted downpipe, receipts and paperwork from past inspections, they failed visual for "no cat" even though I specifically have a catted downpipe for passing inspections in mass and CT.The older guy (father) was pretty nasty with me and assumed I was pulling his chain like the other 'thugs with modified cars' he probably gets.I understand them being careful, but if they just listened to me and put it on a lift for two minutes, they would see its an expensive catted downpipe.

It was our first time bringing one of our two cars to Hamelin's and the service from Mike was outstanding! He is very realistic in telling you exactly a rough estimated on the time when repairs will be able to be completed as well as the possible maintenance that may need to be done in the future. This was our first time but not our last going to this garage. This will definitely be our go-to place for both of our car repairs when needing any future repairs or maintenance done. Highly recommend; thank you Mike and the Hamelin's team!Services: Vehicle Inspection

I went today at 12:40pm to get my mother's car tested. I think it was Josh and Evan that told me no problem getting it done before they closed at 1. Evan even gave my nephew the air hose so we could get the tires more inflated. Both guys very courteous and kind! Would recommend in a heartbeat!
