Last Chance Garage

I recently purchased an almost 10-year-old VW Golf Alltrack and wanted a thorough pre-purchase inspection. I called Chris on a Friday and he was able to get me in first thing Monday morning. I arrived on time and the car was looked at immediately. His team was extremely thorough and clearly knows Volkswagens inside and out. I had the chance to spend time with Chris, the owner, while the inspection was underway, which was a great experience. It is refreshing to talk with someone who is genuinely passionate about what they do, and Chris truly loves Volkswagens. He took the time to explain the car, pointed out details I would never have noticed, and I learned a lot in the process. Once everything was finished, Chris and his team walked me through the inspection report and diagnostics in detail. Thankfully everything checked out. There were no upsells, just honesty, transparency, and professionalism. He also talked through longer-term preventive maintenance to be aware of in the coming miles, which I really appreciated. We are a VW family who recently moved to the area, and I feel very fortunate to have found Last Chance Garage. I will absolutely be back for both of our cars without hesitation.

Chris, John and their team did a fantastic job. If you have a VW or Audi in need of help, they will have your back. 100% recommend. Sincerely, Tom. "The blue VW Guy" Edit These guys pulled through once again and got my car back to me the next day. Can't promise they'll do the same for you because it depends on what's going on with the car and how busy they are but I have been nothing but happy every time I brought my car here. They are really nice guys and 100% professional. I know they don't answer their phone every single time ( I've seen other reviews stating the same) I just think the reason why is because they're working on your car or someone else's. they're always working, So leave a voicemail and they will get back to you.....No doubt about it. Thank you so so much for everything.

Hi John, I just wanted to take a moment to express how pleased I was with my recent car service at Last Chance Garage. From the beginning, you were friendly and professional, quickly diagnosing the issue with my car. I especially appreciated your initiative in finding a high-quality part at a lower cost than the dealership. It's clear that you genuinely care about providing great service and saving your customers money. My car is running like new again, and I couldn't be happier! I'll definitely be bringing both my cars back to you for any future service needs. I've already recommended you to a friend, and I'm sure I'll be recommending you to many others in the future. Thank you Manny

Have been going to Chris and John for years for my VW 's. Totally honest and priced below our local VW dealer who are rip-offs anyway. They are way more capable than the shop techs at VW. They diagnosed a warranty sludge problem that the dealer could not figure out. So easy to work with. VW dealer makes it seem like they are doing you a favor just to make an appointment. Never buying a new VW again. Just buy used and, let these guys take it from there. Chris even found a problem deep in my dashboard that his mechanic (no longer there) from 4 years ago did not do right. I would never have known if Chris did not bring it up and he fixed it no charge.

Owner Chris and his team are wonderful. I have been taking our Audi's and VW to Last Chance Garage for the past three years and they have always been efficient, knowledgeable and accommodating. Because of their specialized experience with Audi/VW, they are able to accurately and quickly diagnose and fix any and all problems. Chris goes above and beyond like when he recently rescued me and my Audi TT after getting stranded on Route 6 in Mahopac when my water pump gave out. Thanks guys!!!
