“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!”

“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.”

Make Overview
Mercedes-Benz Service at Tiger Garage
Mercedes-Benz vehicles are built with tight tolerances and layered electronics, and that means diagnosis has to come before any parts get ordered. At Tiger Garage on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, that's exactly how we work. We look at what's actually going on with your C-Class, E-Class, GLE, or GLC, confirm the fault, walk you through what we found, and give you a number before we touch anything. No surprises on the bill.
We've handled A/C faults on older Mercedes models that the dealer quoted over $1,000 to fix, and taken care of the repair for considerably less. One customer put it simply: "They are some of the most honest and straightforward people I've had the pleasure of doing business with." That's what we're going for. If your Mercedes turns out to need less work than you expected, that's what we'll tell you. You only pay for what the car actually needs.
We handle Mercedes-Benz oil changes, brake service, cooling system work, suspension and steering repairs, electrical diagnosis, A/C and heat, wheel alignments, and check engine light diagnosis. Whether you're driving a C-Class around town or putting miles on a GLE, we'll keep it running right.
Common Mercedes-Benz Issues We See
Mercedes cooling systems, particularly on older four-cylinder and six-cylinder models, are known to develop problems with the thermostat housing and water pump as mileage climbs. Coolant hoses and the expansion tank can also weaken over time. We catch these during inspections and let you know if something is showing early signs of trouble before it leaves you stranded.
Oil leaks are common on higher-mileage Mercedes engines. The valve cover gasket, camshaft adjuster solenoid seals, and oil cooler gasket are typical spots. These leaks tend to develop slowly and get messier if they sit, so catching them early keeps the repair cost manageable.
The electronic systems on Mercedes vehicles can generate fault codes that look more alarming than they are, and misreading them leads to replacing parts that don't solve the problem. We do the diagnostic work to find the root cause, not just the code. That saves you money and gets the car right the first time.
