Studied Automotive Technology at Henry Abbott Technical School in Danbury. Went on to open Apco Auto Parts in Bridgeport CT from 1978 until 2003. After selling the business I took a position in sales with Curtiss Ryan Honda in Shelton. As a hobby I restored a 1970 Challenger TA with help from a good friend and co-worker . I've always been interested in cars and people.

My wife and I were treated very well by the two Honda representatives. Marcin was very patient with us as he explained the options to us for financing our new Honda. He did not put any pressure on us to representatives. Marcin was very patient with us as he explained the options to us for financing our new Honda. He did not put any pressure on us to accept any of the extras that were available on our vehicle.Ed was very gracious in detailing how the whole process worked in purchasing a new Honda CRV. In fact he was able to get us a $500.00 deduction for being a current Honda owner---we already own a 2007 CRV and 2008 Accord. We are grateful to Ed for reprogramming our locking system in our new CRV and also on the 2007 CRV. He even ordered a part for the 2007 CRV and followed up to say that the part was ready for pick-up. Ed certainly went above and beyond the call of duty! We plan to take all three vehicles for service at Curtiss Ryan. The service department has always been a great place to visit and receive excellent services. Thanks Ed and Marcin for the positive experience. Rudy and Sara Feudo More

I have been a Honda customer at other dealerships for years and this dealership is the top of the list. My new Pilot was ready and in perfect condition.

This was my first experience at Curtiss Ryan and needless to say I was impressed. Ed Blauvelt was extra-ordinary going above and beyond what was expected. Very friendly and down to earth to deal with. Lik to say I was impressed. Ed Blauvelt was extra-ordinary going above and beyond what was expected. Very friendly and down to earth to deal with. Likewise, with Marcin Kieltyka, who handled our credit application and made us feel at home and relaxed. My first visit, I was there after closing time and never felt uncomfortable that I was holding things up. When I picked my car up, of course, I was treated with royalty. Ed Blauvelt was there on his day off to close the deal with us. To prove what an extra ordinary guy he is, I was missing two small bolts and nuts for my license plate. Ed was nice enough to go into the service department to get them for me. Over-all, keep up the good work Curtiss Ryan! I will never forget this experience and I will definitely recommend customers in the future. More

I highly recommend this dealership. Both gentlemen I worked with were very pleasant, professional and helpful. They did what they could to meet my terms and make my lease experience a positive one.

This was the first time I have been to this particular dealership and was impressed with the cleanliness and organization. I would definitely return. My one concern is that I do question Brian's ability to make good choices as he is a NY Yankee fan. I did, however, give him the benefit of the doubt and he came through. :) More

Ed Blauvelt was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, he was not pushy at This was the BEST new car buying experience I have had in over 20 years! Ed Blauvelt was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, he was not pushy at all. He let us take our time deciding if it was the right car for us. His tenure in the car business was like a breath of fresh air...not at all your typical car salesman! My husband and I have purchased 8 cars over the past 20 years, we are not sure how we missed this dealer! We will be back! Thank you! More
