Calhoun’s Garage

This review is LONG overdue. I have been coming to Calhoun’s Garage sporadically for years now. These guys are HONEST and quality of service has always been great. I respect and appreciate the owner’s no nonsense personality. You can tell Dan is genuinely a very nice man. He even helped re-​set my bumper (it was parked and hit by another car) for no extra charge. The location could not be more convenient for me. I will continue to come to Calhoun’s and refer as many people as I can because these guys do it right.

So serviceminded! Helped me fix my old Audi and didn’t even charge me anything. Definitely the place I’ll go back to next time I have a problem with the car. Any problem.

Unfortunately, my family requires the services of a body shop A LOT. Most fortunately, we discovered Calhoun’s Garage over 10 years ago and have used his services approximately 18 times since that point. This year was particularly intensive, with me seeing Calhoun’s MANY times. Over the years, they’ve repaired both my luxury and economy vehicles, from less than year old BMW X5 35d and Mercedes ML 250, to 12 year old Toyota’s and Mitsubishi’s. I’ve had near totaled vehicles repaired, minor body repairs, and even an entire car repainted. In EVERY case, I was absolutely delighted by every element of the experience from beginning to end. The owner is truly an honest and talented man. They’re prices are most fair and the quality of their work is truly world-​class. If you are able to use Calhoun’s for your body shop work, you would truly be most unwise to chose another body shop. They are simply the best body shop I have ever known.

Mr. Calhoun is an honest mechanic with great skills. After I moved to Princeton, I have a high mileage Chrysler car, then I found Calhoun’s garage from Unilocal.Dan and his staff know my car (also know many other brands’ cars). The Calhoun’s helped me fix the problem at a reasonable price. Mr. Calhoun is very nice and frank, I recommended his garage’s service to my friends, and I’d like to share with friends in Unilocal because I got really useful information here.

Can’t say enough good about Calhoun, s and the owner Dan. Unfortunately I had to take our cars to Calhoun’s on a few different occasions for body work, we must have targets on our cars, people keep hitting them! Dan & his staff do great work, offer fair prices & realistic estimates on how long it will take to do the job. On top of that Dan is one of the nicer guys around.
Hopefully I’ll never need anymore body work but if I do, Calhoun’s is where I will go!

Dan Calhoun is an honest owner and a nice man too. After being recommended to me by my long-​time mechanic, I’ve learned that he will NOT try to take advantage of customers by charging more than what is needed for the repair. At the same time, he will deliver when promised or be outright frank with you if behind schedule. Though Dan probably doesn’t even read or care about Unilocal rating, he deserves a 5 star for the great job he has done with my 2 cars. Besides, he has enough customers to keep him busy simply by word of mouth —- no advertising or coupons.

Honest business. Brought my car there and George wouldn’t take my money for a problem that couldn’t be fixed.
I noticed some cretin gave this business the lowest possible rating for a terse phone conversation. I bet it was a babbling idiot who couldn’t describe her problem succinctly. My impression is that George has plenty of business and doesn’t need to put up with brainless twits.

These guys are fantastic. Picked my car up today for body work on my Rav4 after an accident. This is the 3^rd time they’ve done body work for me, and I sent my mom thereafter she was rear ended too. We were both extremely happy with their work as well as the customer service we received. They really go above and beyond. And it’s a family business which is always great too. Can’t say enough about them… very happy to have found them!

Glad you guys have raving reviews about Calhoun’s. I just tried calling to see if they could look at my car today and the person on the line said to me «for what?,» and I said responded my saying «I think I need new wheel barrons,» and their response was «Nah I can do that today!» I said «uhmm ok thank you» and he proceeded to hang up.
I had to be the first caller this morning! First impressions are lasting impressions buddy. I will take my business elsewhere. The polite thing to say would have have been «Sorry we probably wont have the time today to work on that, but lets try to schedule another day to look at your car.» If you dont want a customer, then what you did was absolutely correct! My search continues for customer service, i keep forgetting I am no longer in Southern California-​what a shame…

Dan Calhoun runs the best auto repair and collision service on the planet. He is the most caring, honest, thoughtful man I have ever met. His sons all work for him and they are not only master mechanics, but legitimate artisans. Their work is of the utmost quality. Calhoun’s Garage has been in business since the owner’s father established the business countless years ago. It is a New Jersey institution where the owner and staff truly care about the community. They have helped us in desperate situations, when our cars have broken down in the middle of the night, and I consider them among my most valued friends.

I drove to Princeton from Ohio, and the day before I was due to drive back my car started making squealing noises. Calhoun’s was willing to check out my problem with no appointment on a Saturday. They tightened the alternator belt within 15 min, charged me $ 20 and sent me on my way. Can’t speak to how they would be for bigger jobs but I would certainly bring my car back there.

Dan Caloun and his garage provide the best service at the lowest possible price. I have had numerous occassions over the years to use his service for small and large car damage. I’ve always been very satisified with his work.

We had an old car that was making too many different noises to even try to describe on CarTalk. The check engine light had been stuck on for years (except, luckily, whenever it needed to pass inspections). Then it started having major issues. Finally we ended up at Calhoun’s, after having tried out half the auto repair shops in the area. Mr. Calhoun himself gave us a diagnosis of the things that were wrong with the car, in order of priority, with no pressure at all to fix more than we could afford. We decided to deal with just a couple of items first.
When we finally picked it up after the repairs were done, the engine ran so much better that we sat dumbfounded in silence for several minutes, listening to all the little noises that weren’t there. Plus, the check engine light was off (and stayed off!) We were so impressed we took it back again for some of the less urgent fixes.
Prices are fair, service is honest – you couldn’t ask for a better car repair shop.
