Shane Gillis returns as Shane
Shane Gillis plays a heightened fictional version of himself. Shane works at the family automotive business but spends much of his energy provoking Will, testing boundaries and turning small problems into larger ones. Gillis also co-created and executive produces the series.
Steve Gerben returns as Will
Steve Gerben plays Will, the manager who wants to prove he can save the struggling shop. Will is more responsible than Shane, but he is not always more effective. The tension between Will’s plans and Shane’s impulses drives the workplace comedy.
Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias return
Chris O’Connor returns as Cal, Kilah Fox returns as Kilah and Stavros Halkias returns as Dave. Their reactions to Will and Shane help the show feel like an ensemble rather than a two-man comedy. Kilah, in particular, often provides the most direct assessment of whatever scheme is unfolding.
Thomas Haden Church returns as Phil
Thomas Haden Church joined the series as Phil, Shane’s father and Will’s uncle. His money, immaturity and family influence changed the balance of the garage in Season 2. Season 3 builds on that storyline by introducing Bonnie, his new girlfriend.
Rachel Blanchard plays Bonnie
Rachel Blanchard plays Bonnie, described as warm, eccentric and deeply interested in spiritual healing. She brings her rituals into Phil’s life and the automotive shop, whether the employees want them there or not. The character gives Phil a new relationship while creating another source of disruption for the crew.
Garret Dillahunt plays Thatch
Garret Dillahunt plays Thatch, the frightening brother of Frank. The description suggests that Season 3 will expand the show’s extended family and reveal why some people around the garage are genuinely intimidating rather than merely loud.
Anjelica Bette Fellini plays Cara
Anjelica Bette Fellini joins as Cara, a direct and playful character whose chaotic energy should fit naturally into the show’s unpredictable workplace. Netflix has not revealed how Cara first becomes connected to the garage.
Matt Walsh plays Claude
Matt Walsh plays Claude, an employee at Tire World. His role confirms that Season 3 will spend time outside Valley Forge Automotive and may introduce a more organised rival business for Will and Shane to compete against.
Other Season 3 guest stars
Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Billy Magnussen, Taylor Misiak, Sofia Hasmik, Bobby Lee and Dan Soder were announced as Season 3 guest stars. Their character names were not included in the initial announcement, so they should be treated as confirmed performers with roles still being revealed.
