So, here’s Pat with a few tips for when your rockers start to rust.

My condolences to the motorweek family for your loss. I’ve watched your show since I was a little boy. Mr Goss taught me a lot of things about cars that built my basic knowledge and understanding of cars.

I look forward to the remaining segments from Pat Goss. There is something magical about seeing unaired footage from a man who is greatly missed.

MotorWeek has been part of me from age 18 to nearly 59 now. Truly amazing. So much respect for the entire staff---past and present.

Mr. Goss has taught me a lot over the course of my life, and this video is exactly what I needed for my car.

Rest in peace brother.

Missing him greatly. RIP legend. Condolences to the MW family.
However, I wish that you guys could just replay his segments from years past and keep his memory with us, as he has done so much for the viewers and the show.
Regardless, thank you MotorWeek for bringing this great soul to our screens for so many years and thank you Pat for being in my life.
All the blessings.

I have to say, i started watching your program when i was 10, on PBS, before the days of cable or even ON TV, for those of you that remember. I learned a lot about cars from Mr. Goss, one of the main things that I picked up from him, don't be scared of a machine others built. Obviously i didn't learn that at 10yo, but over the next few years, this program and more specifically Pat showed me it was possible to figure out and simple than just operating a mechanism that just seemed too complicated to understand. Aside from todays vehicles, think more along the lines of a carburator and filiment bulbs, but i would have to say that he was one of my first influences into mechanics. Anyway, just thought I'd share that with strangers, maybe his family will randomly read it to make them feel just a smidge better.... Rest in Peace Pat. Thanks for your help over the years!

I offer my condolences to the friends, family and staff of Motorweek for the loss of Pat Goss. Pat's knowledge, visual learning references and encouraging, up-beat tone have been an automotive staple in my life for 25 years. Thank you John and MPT for giving Pat the opportunity to become a veteran member of television's original automotive magazine

Condolences to Pat’s family and friends. I’ve enjoyed Pat’s segments on Motorweek for over 30 years, literally my entire life. His segments were short, but directly to the point. I’ve learned a wealth of great “top tips”, and his advise always served as an excellent primer that sparked further research on the topic being presented. I lost my Dad last year, his loyal viewership of Motorweek throughout my life saw me grow up watching Pat every week. Even though my Dad was a GM engineer, we both learned a lot of good advise from Pat over the years. After my Dad passed, the familiarity of Motorweek, especially Goss’ garage, always brought smile to face as it immediately took me back to my childhood of watching the show with Dad on Saturday afternoons. Thank you Pat, you’ve made a positive impact on my life and you’ll be sorely missed. Condolence’s to the Motorweek Family.
