About Second Chances Garage

Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as non-profit organization, social services organization, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Frederick, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Maryland vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. Typical hours are 9 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (240) 724-1919. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, secondchancesgarage.org.

Frederick is in Maryland, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Frederick is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Maryland's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Lovely people here! I was buying a car for the first time and was pretty anxious and unsure what to do, but I decided to check this place out because of the great reviews. The staff walked me through the process and explained how they differ as a nonprofit—they’re honest and upfront about everything, and I felt comfortable trusting them. They found a car that would be a good fit for me and even held it for a few days until I was able to pay, which I really appreciated. Did a test drive, passed them the check, signed some papers and that was it! Painless process. Thank you Russell and Second Chances Garage!

The main reason I chose to buy my vehicle from Second Chance Garage was to avoid the headaches of post-purchase breakdowns. However, just a few days after buying a Toyota Sienna from Second Chance Garage, I noticed a problem with the brakes on the highway. After a quick call to Second Chance Garage, they repaired it without charging me, even though I bought the car "as is." They truly care about providing excellent customer service.

It’s essentially a $5 thousand dollar gamble. It is your money, whether it’s a tax refund or money you have been saving up. It is based on your needs. If you need a car for survival, that is what this is there for. “Second chance garage” If you are willing to stretch your budget and this isn’t an emergency purchase to ensure your survival (going to and from work, with limited money) then I would highly consider taking some time to learn how to negotiate at car dealerships. Look up base trims of cheapest cars on the market. Maybe stay away from a Mirage/G4. Learn the tips and trips of how to not get ripped off, (easier said then done) I would avoid D_____ in Frederick.

Second Chances Garage has been extremely professional and helpful. I bought a car right off the lot and they were honest and easy to deal with. Teya, John and Russ made me feel welcome and comfortable with my questions and concerns. This was the easiest transaction I have ever had with a vehicle. Most of all I was excited to learn that my purchase supports the programs they have there!
