In advance, thank you.

Hello,
* -Mr John's car is parked near our garage.
2- Whose car is parked near our garage? >> generally we keep the same pronoun.

* -Mr John's car is parked near our garage.
1- Whose car is parked near your garage? >> it would be used if the people's names were mentioned.

Hello,
Both questions may be right;it dépends on the context:
2. the question is asked by a member of your family. ("our" garage)
1. the question may be asked by anybody outside your family. ("your" garage)
