Customer Reviews
New to the area so I asked ChatGPT Where are the best place to get an emission sticker was in Wallingford I mean I know it’s pretty standard but just wanted to see what they said and I was so happy that I did. They were fast, efficient, friendly, and seemed trustworthy. We’ll definitely recommend and go back if I need to in the future, grateful to have places like this. I know it’s only $20 right now and that’s standard everywhere, but having the piece of mind that I can go to a mechanic that isn’t going to rip me off Or try to scam me cause I’m a girl is so great. thanks Nelson’s!!
I've never had such a nice experience getting my emissions done. Nelson is really great place to go and price prices the price but they're really quick service and very polite.
Did my emissions testing today. After leaving another mechanic because of a line of 10-12 people, Nelson's had me in and out in 10 minutes. Awesome!
Went for emissions testing, very informative about wait time. People there just always so nice,highly recommend
If you need an oil change in the Wallingford area and don't want to patronize a chain establishment, go to Nelson's. They are friendly and efficient, I've gotten my last three oil changes there and trust the info they give and the recommendations they make.
Excellent place to get emission test done. I dreaded the process at previous place (dealership) and had to pay late fee this year. If I knew how easy, convenient and friendly - the entire process took 10 minutes - at Nelson's, I could have saved $20. Every step from where to park and pay was clearly marked and employees are so professional and friendly. After this great experience, I will be using them for oil change and other auto needs. I highly recommend it.
I think they're overly busy. Been here before and it was fine, now rude approaching abrasive. Unless you know exactly what you need I would suggest heading elsewhere. The actual technician was much nicer!
Wow, front window lady with red hair was rude for no reason. She came at us very aggressively and with a combative attitude. Once she went into the back of the shop and brought out the tall guy with a beard, we finally got some answers to our questions. He was friendly, knowledgeable and well-informed.
I live in Florida, I traveled to Massachusetts for work. I had a mechanical problem with my Ram 3500 pickup truck. I visited the shop to request assistance to change a front hub bearing. I arrived before they opened, I waited patiently for the shop to open and finally I was attended to by a lady at the window. She answered me bluntly that it was not possible to help me because she did not have the equipment to lift my truck and she did not have the time either. I asked if she could tell me a place in the area, she told me she did not know. In the end I had to do it myself in an Autozone parking lot.
