Great place to take your car for routine maintenance. James and Clint are always courteous and do a great job getting customers through.

Great team at this STS location. They are the first place I would take my car for routine maintenance or a more serious issue. Prompt, professional, and nice to work with.

Unbelievable. Came in to get new tires and for an oil change. The bill came back with a «computerized wheel alignment» at $ 80 or $ 90 which I never authorized (the alignment check was included for free).
Then it got interesting. When I said that I am not paying for service I didn’t order, the response was «ok, we’ll take your car back in and return the alignment to where it was». I am not sure if it’s the location’s policy or Clint’s personal policy, but either way, I was not going to wait for them to do more work to put my car in a worse state (nor would I have trusted the team with the car keys at that point).
I said that I am not waiting, and that the whole thing is too bad, because based on the reviews I was looking forward to having business in the future with a mechanic that does not play these games and one I can trust. The response, and I quote, «I don’t think so».
I am speechless.

Be very careful when you go there. Stuff is very nice but they cheat. I spoke to A. about replacing some part in my car. He told me that he can get the part only from local dealer only because it is not available anywhere else. I asked for quote and they told me $ 498 for that part plus $ 60 diagnostic and labor 120. I called the same local dealer and found that exact part costs $ 320 not 498! I went to different but honest mechanic and I finished all the job for almost $ 400 instead $ 678 at STS!
They think all people are stupid and easy. Will never come back there.

First of all, this location over charges customers. I had to bring my car into the shop 3 times to get it fixed. They did not provide me with any reimbursement for the inconvenience. I was very disappointed. I will be going to the Pennington shop from now on.

So I have been coming here since I bought my car (approximately 9 years). During that time they have done a fantastic job in what I asked. They also suggest other things that I may want done (some people see this as a way to get more money from you but all you really have to say is no and I will think about it, then the topics will be overlooked). I had my car in a really bad situation (breaks failing, axil failing, exhaust failing) and they used discounts to help lower my final pricing. Overall I recommend coming here. Plus they are honest compared to the Hillsborough sts

I got a great price on tires and they were installed promptly. Also got an oil change at the same visit. I would recommend & will return for service.

I ruined a very expensive tire in a pothole. Clint and his team took care of me faster and less expensively than the dealers estimate.
This is my second experience with STS Princeton. They are honest competent and cheerful!

I’ve been taking my car here for two years, and I appreciate the good work they’ve done on my car. Plus, they’ve charged me fairly, which is always a good thing!

Guess this place is a hit or miss. I was first brought here due to the great experience I had with STS in Philadelphia. This place just disappoint me again and again. But my boy friend just finds it fine. A 2 star is reasonable I guess. Hope I just have bad luck in a row. Good luck to you!

I’ve been sitting here for 3 hrs now and I don’t care because its worth it aannndd I didn’t make an appointment. I love my car (2007 Dodge Charger SE) and one of the first things that I do when I move to a new place is find a good mechanic shop.
STS is the best one in Princeton, in my opinion. It’s not the cheapest, go to Wal-​Mart for that, but its not the most expensive either (Mark’s Trackside Auto Dealer). You can see them working on your car and they are always happy to answer any of your questions. PLUS you can bring your own oil and they’ll change it for you.
This is my third time coming here and I never feel pressured to get anything else done other than what I come in for. They simply give me suggestions on what I should get done and then ask if I want to do it, if I say no they don’t ask anymore questions and hand over the paper work.

If they only were honest about how long you have to wait, you could get a ride or something and come back to pick up the car. Not honest when you end up sitting there for hours when they told you it’d be 30 minutes.

Horrible service. Both times I’ve been there were bad.
First time I took a car I was buying to get it checked out. They said it would be $ 60, which I accepted. I come back and they invoiced me for the $ 60 plus an additional $ 50 oil change that I didn’t ask for. I told them to take the charge off, but they refused since the service had already been done. I pay the $ 110 + tax and get in the car to find out that they broke the side mirror. I go back and tell them and they said «oh, it was like that when we got it». TOTAL BS.
Second time, I took another car to get the brakes changed. They said they had to replace ALL brake pads, rotors and calipers. I told them to change just the brake pads for now but they refused. Since I was in a hurry, I said ok to everything. After the fact I did some research and find out that calipers do not all need to be changed when only 1 malfunctions. Ripoff!
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

2 hours to plug a tire, which takes less than 5 minutes. All while techs are doing nothing but eating lunch.

Did not have a good experience with them. My wife brought the car (Minivan T&C) for service since they are close to where we live. They wanted to change the shock absorbers and a bunch of other stuff. They call me suggesting the change and told them not to do anything. This was 4 years ago. 4 years later I have asked a couple of other places (including Chrysler) about the schlock absorbers and they tell me they are fine. We still have the same. Clearly this is not a place we can trust. We never went back.

Brought a tire with a nail in it at 4:50 pm on Saturday (closes at 5). Very friendly manager says no problem we can fix it asap. I was out the door at 4:57 pm! They fixed the tire in 7 minutes flat (pun intended)!! #amazingcustomerservice Highly Highly recommended!

The staff went out of their way to help me and didn’t charge me (turns out nothing was wrong with my tires). This is greatly appreciated, as I could’ve been charged for labor or something nominal. Honesty goes a long way!

I have only been coming to this STS center for the last year but I have nothing but great things to say!
I’ve been in some terrible situations with a couple cars within this last year and every time STS has been there to save the day!
Every time I’ve come in for a repair they get started right away and by 10am-​11am I get a call explaining exactly whats wrong and what needs to be done and an estimate for the repairs and by 5−6pm it has always been ready! I have to say that every estimate I’ve gotten from these guys has been very reasonable and never caused my jaw to drop which is always nice when it comes to auto repairs.
In my experience I’ve never had to make an appointment, just called the night before or even the morning of and said whats wrong and been able to bring my car in immediately! The staff is very friendly and always helpful in understanding whats wrong. If your car decides to give you trouble, STS Tire and Auto will definitely be able to give you a hand :)
