Tiger Garage

I had a flat tire while car was parked at my place of work on the day I was scheduled to go from one place to another with limited time in between! I did not even realized that Tiger Garage is located across the street. I arrived there with just 8 psi! Fortunately Troy jumped right into fixing the flat tire! It was fascinating watching him do this with such ease and confidence while he was explaining it to me. He said I ran over a large nail and the nail popped out so my tire had a huge hole. Troy said he was going to just plug and seal the damage and this should last the life of the tire.
Tiger garage is Troy’s father’s small business. And Troy has been working there for 12 years, hence why he was so articulate and confident! I appreciate family owned small businesses. It’s the ownership & pride that they commit towards their product and services that makes the difference…at Tiger Garage, it showed yesterday! Today I’m scheduled for oil change and maintenance! I might have just found my go-to garage! Highly recommend.

Wonderful!!! My 10-yr-old Mazda abruptly started making a loud grinding noise on a long wintry drive last week. I have always gone to the Mazda dealership near where I used to live, but here, the closest one was a 25-min drive away and had no openings for more than 2 weeks. Tiger Garage is a 5-min walk for me, and a friend had highly recommended them a few months ago. I initially ruled them out, since they didn't mention Mazda on the long list of cars they can fix, plus I figured there couldn't possibly be any good options in this neighborhood. But after several frustrating phonecalls to other places, I decided it was worth a shot. I was able to describe the problem and request an appointment time online (a huge perk, I hate the phone), and got a confirmation email the next day. Took my car in this morning, and had a good feeling, I think it's a father-son business and they seemed very nice. They called about half an hour later with a diagnosis and estimate, and had the car all fixed up for exactly the quoted price a couple hours later!! Very reasonable too. It was brake failure, which I last dealt with 25 years ago, and I paid considerably less today than I did to my dealership decades ago for the same repair! Thank you :)

Troy helped me out with a transmission wiring issue in my 2016 VW Golf. Also helped fix an oil pan problem.

Very upfront about cost and expectations. Prompt service. Extremely professional.

I will be returning next time I have an issue with the VW!

Thanks!

Needed to get an inspection done quickly. They saw me early and did the work quickly. Even pumped up my tires.

This garage is the best. I have a rather old car and they are great at diagnosing issues. They fixed an issue with my AC for which the dealer wanted to charge $1k+.

They are some of the most honest and straightforward people I have had the people I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with.

Great local mechanics! I've been here many times for various services on my car because I know they are fair, trustworthy, and highly competent. My go-to anecdote that highlights both their attention to detail and their honesty: I once brought my car in to get my brakes looked at. They easily could've said it was X problem needing Y service, and I would've paid. But they instead took time to closely inspect my brakes and even test drive the car to feel the brakes for themselves. In the end, they determined there wasn't a problem (just minor rust from lack of recent use) and only charged me a small amount for the inspection time. When I go to Tiger Garage, I know they are going to give me a true diagnosis and only charge me for what is needed--something I definitely don't feel when going to autoshop chains in the area!

Had my check engine light on and needed an inspection for a 20 year old car. I was expecting a part or two needing replacement, which was exactly the case. The service here was great, providing details and explanations for every fee charged and they made sure I was ok with proceeding at each step. Best part was they got it all done in one day.

Very friendly and accommodating. I called approximately 2 hours before my car was towed to their location and they were more than okay with it. I got a fair price on my repair and they let me leave my car for a few days after it was completed until I was able to pick it up. Very honest and friendly people!

i have been using their services for year. i always have been satisfied. they are knowledgeable mechanics you can talk to and trust. I always got a fair price too. I recommend Tiger garage to my Princeton friends.

Tiger Garage is fantastic! They are fair, careful, friendly and fast. I always feel a bit uncertain with mechanics, especially the first visit, but my two experiences have given me 100% confidence in their skills and honesty. This is actually a Pop and son shop - small business need our support, especially now, and they also deserve it.

Competent workmanship at a reasonable price.

I recently had a transmission failure on my vehicle and wanted to swap in a replacement unit from a junkyard rather than pay a dealer to rebuild mine. The manager was willing to accept a customer purchased part and installed it. I was back on the road within a week and the car's driving fine.

Tiger Garage was awesome! My daughter is a college student with an older vehicle. Sun roof got stuck 1/2 open. Rick repaired it same day at a very fair price. This is a most trustworthy business.

Very fast service, affordable (especially for Princeton!) and it seemed to me they weren't looking to "up sell" or try to find things to fix that aren't really broken. This is so hard to come by, so we really appreciate this garage. I plan to bring both of our cars here in the future for any work that needs to be done.

PERFECT ! Service Engine Soon warning light in my Infiniti, then I noticed delayed automatic shifting. Then the car suddenly shifted itself into Neutral (and the tachometer went to over 8000 RPM before I noticed the cause). Tiger Garage accepted the car for an evaluation on a Monday morning, without appointment. Within an hour they gave me a phone call with an evaluation of the test codes that the problem was due to a faulty speed sensor giving erratic signals. They received the new speed sensor within another hour and my car was ready to go within 4 hours of my arrival at Tiger Garage. They are throughly professional, and fast. They deserve a perfect rating!

It was a pleasure to meet an honest mechanic who did not changed parts in my car that was not necessary, so he did not overcharged me, who worked fast and was flexible and open for my special requests. I will be worth to me to drive from Pennsylvania to have my car fixed with Tiger Garage in Princeton in the future. - A Mazda 3 owner

Really great service. I showed up without an appointment (at around 8:15am) and they were able to help me right away. The mechanic was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Rick and his son are honest and sincere. We take all of our cars to them. They are great mechanics and not to expensive. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Outstanding service for a fair price! Completed a critical repair on my car much faster than I expected! My car now has a new life!

Super nice, helpful, answers my millions of doubts and questions, and fairly priced, despite being in Princeton!

I feel like I don't even have to rate them -- their only bad review is by some dude who's indignant that they won't do quotes over the phone. They're great.
