Oil Changes Done Right at Tiger Garage in Princeton

An oil change is the most basic thing you can do for your engine, and it's also one of the easiest things to get wrong. Using the wrong oil grade, skipping the filter, or stretching the interval too far can quietly wear down an engine that would otherwise run for 200,000 miles. At Tiger Garage on Witherspoon Street, we take it seriously even when it's "just an oil change."

The vehicles we specialize in, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Subaru, Honda, and Toyota, each have specific oil requirements that differ from one another and often differ from whatever is sitting on the shelf at a quick-lube chain. A BMW turbocharged engine calling for a full synthetic with a specific European oil rating is not the same job as a Honda Civic that calls for 0W-20. We look up the manufacturer spec for your specific vehicle every time. We don't guess, and we don't substitute.

Drop your car off at our Princeton shop and we'll call you with the price before we start. We check your fluid levels, look over your belts and hoses, and let you know if anything catches our eye while we're under there. If something needs attention, we'll tell you. If everything looks fine, we'll tell you that too. No invented problems, no pressure. That's how Troy and his father have run this shop since 1982, and that's not changing.
