Ellenville’s only car dealership has closed permanently. That’s recent, it’s checkable, and it means Wawarsing now has no franchised dealer of any make — with the nearest roughly twenty-five miles away.
The hospital
Ellenville Regional Hospital on Healthy Way is a critical-access hospital, and it’s the town’s most reliable generator of parked cars.
Critical-access hospitals serve rural areas where the alternative is a long drive, which means the people in that car park have often come from further out than they would in a city. Staff work shifts; visitors stay as long as it takes; and the lot has cars in it every day of the year, unlike the seasonal parking that dominates the rest of the town.
The dealership that isn’t there any more
613 Automotive Group on South Main Street has closed permanently.
That leaves Wawarsing with no franchised new-car dealer at all. The nearest are Kingston, about twenty-five miles north, or Middletown to the south-west in Orange County.
Twenty-five miles is a significant drive in a working car and an expensive one in a car that won’t start. This is the widest dealer gap in our Ulster coverage, and it’s the main practical fact about getting a key here.
Our comparison of the options covers dealers, parts stores and the alternatives.

Sam’s Point
The Sam’s Point area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve sits above Cragsmoor off NY-52, with a reservation-only day-use lot operating weekends and holidays from April to November.
Reservation-only parking is unusual and worth knowing. It means the lot is finite and booked, so a car that can’t move is occupying a space someone else reserved — which adds pressure that a free lot wouldn’t.
The Shawangunk ridge trails and the ice caves are the draw, and the walking is serious. Same key advice as any hike.
The airfield
Joseph Y. Resnick Airport is a public general-aviation field in Ellenville, with based-aircraft parking. Small, but it’s there, and aircraft owners leave cars for the same reasons airline passengers do.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a car dealership in Ellenville?
Not any more. 613 Automotive Group closed permanently, leaving the town without a franchised dealer. The nearest are Kingston, about twenty-five miles north, or Middletown to the south-west.
I’m at the hospital and my car won’t start.
Tell us when you’ll actually be free rather than when you noticed — we can work to a shift or a visit.
I’m at Sam’s Point.
Say so. It’s reservation-only parking, weekends and holidays April to November, and a stuck car is holding a booked space.
Do you come out this far?
Yes. Wawarsing is one of the further parts of our Ulster coverage, down US-209.
My fob stopped working on the ridge.
Try the battery first — cold and damp are hard on them. See our key fob battery guide.
