These people are great and I am grateful. Quality service from knowledgeable professionals. It is a breath of fresh air to deal with Bob. He has been helping my family with our vehicles for decades. I highly recommend their services read more

Been coming here for 20 years to service my Toyotas and experienced nothing but great service, honest work and fair pricing. If Bob or Mark or one of the employees tell you something is dangerous as is, believe them and get it fixed there. There's no scamming, just good information about your vehicle and what would make it safer to drive. Trust them. read more

This is a very small garage but I prefer it over the Honda dealership, which tried to cheat me by saying I needed to pay $500 for new brakes. I got a second opinion at KPS, and guess what? Nothing wrong with the brakes. I trust them. read more

Ask any of the Beach Boys (the living ones at least) and they'll tell you that cars are most useful and fun when they're drivable making it axiomatic that no child in history was ever conceived in the back seat of a Yugo, Fiat or Plymouth of any vintage. My Volkswagen recently had a strange problem (as a multiple owner, VW's only have strange problems)... while the vehicle started fine the ignition cylinder couldn't be disengaged without fifteen minutes of jiggling and twerking the key until the damn thing shut off. The local Volkswagen dealer was worthless, informing me the part was on a multiple month "supply chain" backorder and just for grins added that their Bavarian pride forbids the installation of a sniff, sniff... "used" part. Enter Mark of KPS. He searched for new and struck out but he did secure a high quality used ignition cylinder that had me going in two weeks after a fairly complicated install. A labor intensive job that wasn't fun to pay for but considering the thousands they saved me on a long-term car rental the repair was a bargain. The value equation here is simple. If you can't get the part, and you have no idea what to do with it when you get it, a bargain repair is no bargain. Many thanks to Mark and KPS. A quality shop whose specialty is difficult and "strange." An easy five stars. read more

My wife and I have been using KPS Garage for years. Bob and Mark are are great to deal with and their work is top notch.

After getting a flat, I rolled onto their lot on Labor Day and had to leave quickly with my dog and bags of ice to get to a party in town. When I called the next day to set up service, I was asked if I filled out paperwork, I said I had not and asked if he wanted me to come in to do so. He then called me a "typical Tesla owner" for thinking I could do whatever I wanted. I confronted him about his insult, but he had no interest in apologizing for his lack of professionalism. I called a tow truck to remove the vehicle from this disaster of a human's business. The sooner this guy gets help the better. read more

Great service! I no longer live in the area but when I did .. no question where I was bringing my car. One of the things I miss not living there was bringing my car to KPS for service. Marc M read more

My drive belt broke, and was referred here by a trusted auto body shop. I spoke with Mark, and he had me leave my car overnight, and gave me a quote the next day. He quoted a drive belt at $59.98, drive belt tensioner at $248.88, P/S belt at $69.99, and P/S belt tensioner at $359.95. Labor was quoted at $419.85 for a grand total of $1,239.92 after tax. When I picked my key up from him, I told him the quote was a little higher than expected, and he didn't seem surprised nor did he seem like he cared. I took the car nearby to 'T & M Automotive Repair" less than a mile away, and spoke with Tim there. He fixed my car for about half the cost, and he was extremely professional. read more

I will forever be indebted to KPS for servicing my Camry until I traded it in at 300,000 miles!! When my car was stolen in Philly I had it towed to KPS and they fixed everything!!! They are the best!!! I never had to question anything ---they ALWAYS took superb care of my car (and my cars and truck before that--for years!). g white read more

I brought in a car to get my exhaust fixed. I called them to see if they fix my exhuast. They said they could I dropped it off and went home. 30 minutes called me back and said we don't do exhuast. when I asked nicely they won't Give me a real answer why. I told them I'm leaving a review so I did and they called/texted calling me a coward, a faggot, the n word. I see why people don't trust mechanics read more

KPS Garage : honors their warrantee : Had a new suspension put on my 2011 BMW 535i - after 3 months I started hearing some noice from the front end So I dropped off my vehicle at KPS and they found and corrected a lose anti sway bar- problem fixed - no cost no issues - Happy Customer Dec 2022- Took my 2011 BMW 535I xdrive, into the only garage in the area I trust - KPS -Princeton Garage. The drivers side headlight had condensation on the inside and I needed the entire headlight assembly replaced. The team at KPS once again did a phenomenal job replacing the parts and getting my vehicle back to 100%. You may think that's should have been an easy job, but it wasn't- my vehicle has adaptive headlight which means when you turn the steering wheel, the headlight shift so that you have a clear path while turning. The job required a new headlight assembly, an adaptive light computer module and a blinker module- it's all electronic and KPS managed the job perfectly- thank you KPS for another outstanding service completion- a forever customer- M.

KPS just brought my HONDA riding mower back from the dead.... Bob found parts for my ancient riding mower which I just love. He scoured the Internet and found pieces that haven't been made in 20 years. I've had the same mower repaired by various other supposedly reputable mechanics but never has it worked as well as it does now. It's true and they say they don't make them like they used to and I thought for sure this one was done. I highly recommend KPS Garage for any of your automotive and small engine repair needs. They do fantastic work at a reasonable rate. Try not to beat them up on pricing as you're really are getting more than you will get elsewhere for the same money. Here we see Experience in action. Trust me that your local dealer will offer lesser quality work. read more

My daughter was traveling to NJ for work in my vehicle because her's was in the shop here in MA. My car is an older vehicle and started making noise when she arrived in NJ. She Googled KPS Princeton Garage which had great reviews and took it there. I spoke with Bob and he was very professional and compassionate. As a father he told me that he works on a lot of students vehicles and would take care of my daughter. It was a complicated repair and he fixed in a very short period of time. My daughter just returned home and the car runs excellent. I can't thank Bob enough for his generosity, professionalism and compassion. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great, trustworthy mechanic. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas !! read more

I noticed a horrible revving noise coming from my car on a trip to NJ. I am not from the local area nor am I knowledgeable in the field of mechanics. I came across KPS via Google reviews and to say that the service at this shop is exceptional would truly be an understatement. The owner was communicative throughout the process and had my car back in a few hours. It can be hard to come by an honest, reliable mechanic and KPS is just that. I just wish I lived closer so I could make this my permanent shop! read more

Called to ask if he could do a minor muffler repair and all he did was tell me how much he hated the brand of my car and would not allow it into his shop. Don't know if he is a good mechanic or not but with a nasty attitude like this I would not want him working on any car of mine. Stay away! read more

Excellent service. Transparent pricing. Got me in during snow storm emergencies. Made specific accommodations for my special situations. This will be my family's only garage going forward! read more

Absolutely love this garage. They are responsive, professional, customer centric and always take great care of my cars!! Can't say enough good things about these guys read more

Trustworthy, honest, stand behind their work. I have been patronizing KPS Princeton Garage for many years and recommend them without reservation. Repairs to my cars include catalytic converters, replacement of alternators, new brakes, new tires and routine maintenance. They are the best in the area, hands down. read more

I have relied on Bob and his team for years for numerous vehicles. They have solved problems dealerships couldn't, expedited repairs when I was in need of immediate service, and gone out of their way to help me out. Always eminently fair, honest and professional. They fix something the first time and it stays fixed. KPS is the best, hands down. read more

Seriously, bring your car to KPS. The Yelp reviews are horrible, but KPS has 27 awesome reviews on Tire Rack, so I went anyway. I'm happy I did. I ordered tires Thursday night before a holiday weekend. I took my car to the shop on Friday at noon and demanded that my alignment and tire mounting, balancing, and rotation be finished before 5 so I could leave for vacation. And guess what? IT WAS! The owner even drove and met a UPS truck to pick up my tires and make it happen! I'm very pleased with the work and service. read more

Absolutely incredible staff. Mark and Bob are the most kind-hearted and helpful folks I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I bought a used car and brought it to them the next day. Not only were they honest in telling me what did and did not require immediate attention, but they were essential in helping me deal with an issue regarding the sale of the vehicle. They, of course, did not make money in that regard but were kind enough to offer there help and advice (in addition to fixing my vehicle perfectly!). Will never go anywhere else!! read more

Extremely professional shop. I've been incredibly satisfied every time I go there. These days mostly for oil changes or tires. Honest folks who do a thorough job and let you know of potential issues. My last visit was to diagnose a complicated electrical issue with my Volvo that another shop couldn't. They figured it out and spent the time and effort to fix it right. This is a shop you go to for life. read more

I have been bringing my vehicles to KPS for many years. The job is top of the line. The cost is reasonable and better than other repair shops in the area. I get thorough explanations on the repairs and helpful ways I can save money. I recommend KPS for any car you own. No job too small. KPS ALL THE WAY! read more

Always very helpful and willing to explain any work/problem and offer options for the most effective fix. Cost competitive and on time. read more

This is my preferred auto repair shop in the area. Have been using for 5+ years on several cars. I have always been satisfied with the results. read more

KPS is a reliable, fair and honest local garage. Rob the owner gives you a fair price and treats people with respect. They just put a hitch on my Audi SUV , did it in a couple of hours and at a price competitive with U Haul hitch installations. Since I am local they are always considerate with pick up or drop off to my home. I have been using them for 3 years and have 4 vehicles and have not been disappointed. It's always a relief to find a local mechanic you can trust Gabe read more

have been taking my cars to Bob LaRue for over 20 years. He (and his crew) are skilled, honest, friendly and stand behind their work. They have kept some of my cars running long after I should have traded them in! I can't say enough good things about KPS. Hands down, they are the best in the area. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and for me, dealing with a business that consistently exhibits the highest level of integrity makes it totally worth it. read more

I have used KPS for over 12 years and never been disappointed. They are very accommodating with scheduling, keep you informed about what work they are doing, thoroughly care for the car and are extremely professional. I just sold a car that had 229,000 miles and was almost 10 years old and still ran like almost new because of their excellent work. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

I have been coming to KPS Princeton Garage for over 5 years. They have kept my old Volvo in tip-top shape and I couldn't be more pleased. Their mechanics are excellent and the work is performed in a timely manner. Most importantly, they are honest and their prices are reasonable. It is a pleasure for me to give KPS Princeton Garage my highest recommendation. read more

They tell you they can fix something and then call to say it can't be fixed ( so I thought NOTHING WAS FIXESD) then a month later they charge your credit card and do work not authorized to perform. Even gave my key back, and did not ask for payment, didn't expect to be charged almost $1000 for a car I had to trash, I no longer have the car, so not even sure if they even did any work, car would not even start, sold it for parts. If you have an old car don't take it there, they don't like to work on old cars. I'm never going back again! read more

Totally incompetent shop. Brought my 2011 BMW in because it had a warning light on, and KPS is listed as a shop that knows BMWs. KPS had no clue what the light meant. They spent all day with the car and couldn't figure it out. They then tried to tell me the car needed a number of things that the car's computer said it did not need (guess they don't know how to check the computer...or they assumed I didn't know how to do it). Finally they told me the car just needed an oil change and a computer reset to tell it maintenance had been done. When I got the car back, I start the ignition, and the light comes on immediately (so obviously not fixed). I went home and googled the problem myself. I immediately found a video explaining exactly how to figure out what the light meant. In other words, a competent internet user was more effective than KPS garage. I would not ever return here. Not only did they try to sell me services I didn't need, but they're completely incompetent. read more

Guys are great to deal with, very personal, love Mark. KPS has replaced brakes, did the tune up and clutch repair. Just wish they had Saturday hours, at least half day. read more

I now service my two cars with KPS rather than going to my dealership. On my SUV I had my brakes replaced with genuine parts and saved quite a bit. My sedan was serviced for oil, tire rotation, etc. Quite happy with the work performed and trust KPS service. No issues with scheduling and getting all the work done as scheduled. I really am happy with their service. read more

I took my car there for a check up after a long road trip and when Dan (one of the mechanics) called he was very patient in discussing the issues they found. He was very understanding in meeting my needs and not pressuring/scaring me to do any work. They're prices seem very reasonable, although, I didn't really compare to any near by places. I would definitely recommend this place. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that they're hours are not the most accommodating to working professionals, however, it's very easy to drop your car off before they open or after they close. read more

KPS in Princeton did a great job fixing my BMW 750 they kept me informed about what they were doing and when my car would be done they were extremely professional and not expensive two thumbs up to KPS read more

Guys did a first-rate job on my car. On-time and excellent work. I'd highly recommend them for any maintenance and repair job.

KPS is great! They are extremely helpful, trustworthy and do fantastic work. I've been going there for years and they are always honest with you. They will not waste your money or add unnecessary charges. read more

Recently had to replace the starter on my ancient (1996) SUV - the team at KPS was generally courteous, communicative and efficient. -Gave me a lift back to work when I dropped the car off -Gave me an estimate within 24 hours of drop-off -Completed the work in the time frame agreed to -Seemingly reasonable charge -The car starts every time I turn the key in the ignition! read more

I thought that my Hyundai had broken a timing chain and that my engine was shot. Mark was very honest, thorough and competent in diagnosing and finding some minor problems instead. They could have sold me a $5000 engine replacement, but instead they diagnosed and fixed the problems for a couple hundred dollars, and the car runs fine. Mark was one of the most competent, pleasant and accomodating people that I have ever dealt with. It was the first time that I dealt with KPS, but it is the only place that I would go to in the future. He even called a few days later to make sure that everything was all right. read more
