Clint is awesome! Her took care of my Audi Q7 for a fraction of what the dealership quoted.
I first brought my car to the Bridgewater Audi service center, where they diagnosed the issue and recommended replacing the front wheel bearing, doing a wheel alignment, and installing a new battery.
Clint handled everything for less than one-quarter of the dealership’s estimate, and after re-testing the battery, he confirmed it was still in good condition. Highly recommend!

Mavis is the reason my daughter's car made it through 4 years at Princeton. They were kind, understanding, and never took advantage of her when she came in with problems. It made her feel like she was going to a family friend instead of a chain.
So when I was visiting her I stopped in because I had a low tire. I can see why she loves the place. As I waited I heard them talking to customers. They geniunely wanted to help everyone who came in with issues. Refreshing to see a garage run this well . Kudos to whomever is hiring and training the staff.
Highly recommend

Thank you to James and his team!
I had an urgent situation this afternoon, I needed to take my mom to JFK and my car suddenly wouldn’t start. After finally getting it going, I called Mavis in Princeton in a bit of a panic. James answered the phone and immediately reassured me that he could get me in for an emergency walk-in. That alone eased so much of my stress.
When I arrived, James was calm, considerate, and incredibly kind. He didn’t make me feel rushed or like an inconvenience, he listened, explained everything clearly, and treated my situation with genuine care. His professionalism and steady demeanor truly put me at ease during what started as a chaotic day.
James and his team worked efficiently to diagnose and resolve the issue, and I felt confident in their hands the entire time. The service was thorough, honest, and handled with real attention to detail.
James’ exceptional customer service, compassion, and dedication made all the difference. I’m genuinely grateful for the way he handled everything.
If you’re looking for a place you can trust, go see James at Mavis in Princeton!

I just brought my car in to have my brakes checked. This is my 1st visit to this Mavis on State Road in Princeton. I made an appointment on line & when I arrived they took my car in within 10 minutes. I just had an oil change at my dealer and was told I needed new brakes. I brought my car to Mavis for a 2nd option & I am looking for a local mechanic who i can trust. Nick was the mechanic who looked at my car he came out and told me my brakes & rotors were fine and I didn’t need new brakes. He said to wait another 10,000 miles and have the brakes checked again. I really appreciated his honesty. I did have new windshield blades put on my car while I was there. James who checked me out at the desk was very polite and gave me a nice discount on the blades. I will definitely be using this Mavis for future service & I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a new mechanic.

I’ve used Mavis (formerly STS) for more than 30 years…They have absolutely earned my loyalty! They are skilled in all repairs (everything that can go wrong in cars over 35 years), great diagnosticians, honest, reasonably priced, and really care about their customers. They have worked on our many cars—from junkers to more luxury cars (Toyotas, Audis, Volvos, BMW) advising the appropriate level of care to each. For the cars at the end of their lives they told me what I really need to do and what is optional or could be delayed; for the newer cars they have maintained them so that they last a decade or more. On top of this, they will work with your schedule or budget. If I need to pick up the car after hours, we work out a way to make that work; or if I need to been in and out in a particular time, they do that too! Clint is the best! I don’t use any other mechanic and get all my tires with them! You should too.
