We are deeply saddened to report the unexpected passing of our longtime friend and colleague Pat Goss, who appeared on MotorWeek through forty-one seasons, beginning with our very first episode.
~snip~
Patrick Goss is an American radio and television personality based in Washington, DC. Goss was a mechanic for the TV show MotorWeek, where he hosted a show called Goss’ Garage, and started working as a mechanic at Rollins Park Shell in Rockville, Maryland.
Goss also streams weekly on YouTube’s Goss’ Garage Radio Show.
Goss owns and operates Goss Garage (formerly Pat Goss Auto World), an auto repair shop, in Lanham-Seabrook, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Here, he continues to help millions of car owners gain understanding and confidence in their cars.
From 2006 to 2008 he worked on talk radio 3WT until 3WT went off the air in August 2008. He also hosts a weekend car radio show on WJFK-FM in Washington, DC. On his radio show, Gauss answers questions about “automotive safety, performance and maintenance.” In addition to his radio show, he hosts a similarly formatted TV talk show on TBD TV in Washington, DC.

A truly great automotive show.
Just damn. Entertaining fellow who seemed knowledgeable.RIP
Thanks for the memories and the education. RIP Mr. Goss!
Sunday nights. I think around 11 PM is when Motor Week used to air on my local PBS station. I watched it faithfully.
The headline promises a “cause of death” but never really gives one. The article also spells his name both “Goss” and “Gauss”. Strange.
I caught him over a number of years on PBS.
He was a helpful, insightful guy.
Sad to hear he’s passed on.
Dang....another ‘Unexpected’.
RIP.
I always liked him.
He lost his wife in 2019. She was 73. Goss seemed to keep his private life private, even his actual age. Enjoyed him a lot.
RIP
The C4 is still a great cheap track car.
Sorry about that. I got this news from a Facebook post so I just went and grabbed the first “news “article I could find.
Perhaps more information will be released soon.
Late 60’s for me. Good times, followed by the malaise.
RIP to you Pat Goss. I remember listening to his Saturday morning radio show on the old WRC 980 AM in Washington DC in the 1990s.
RIP.
His garage fixed my car a couple of times, and they gave me very good advice. We used to hear him on the radio here.
Every time I click on a site that promises the cause of death, it turns out to be a malicious site. This is click-bait to the extreme.
I know. Sorry. See post 11.
never cared for the man but rip
You don’t have to be sorry. It’s the news media that is on these toxic sites that infect your computer. I clicked on 10 of them that lured you in by saying the cause of death is revealed. You click on them and my computers cautions me that the site has dangerous malware. What a racket that exists out there.
