Brake Inspections and Repairs at Tiger Garage in Princeton, NJ

If your brakes are grinding, squealing, pulling to one side, or the pedal feels softer than it used to, bring it in. Those aren't things to wait on. At Tiger Garage on Witherspoon Street, brake work starts with pulling the wheels and actually looking at what's going on. We measure pad thickness, check the rotor surfaces for wear and heat damage, test caliper operation, and look at brake fluid condition. If the problem is something you'd feel from the driver's seat, we'll test-drive the car too. You get a straight report on what we find before any parts get ordered.

We work on all makes and models, American, European, and Asian vehicles alike. Whether it's a high-mileage Mazda that started grinding on a winter drive or a BMW that needs a second opinion after a dealer quote, the process is the same: inspect first, explain what we found, get your approval, then do the work. Nothing happens on your car without you knowing the reason, the cost, and what the consequences are if you decide to wait.

One thing worth knowing: not every brake noise means you need new parts. We've had customers come in certain they needed a full brake job, and after pulling the wheels and test-driving the car, the issue turned out to be surface rust from a vehicle that sat over a wet weekend. We charged for the inspection time and sent them on their way. That's the approach we take here, and it's why people in Princeton keep coming back instead of going to the chains. When pads and rotors do need replacement, we use quality parts and the work is covered by our 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty.
