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.

Purchase of a new car Ed Blauvelt is an absolute pleasure to work with when purchasing a car. He helped us purchase a Honda vehicle 11 years ago, and we did not forget his Ed Blauvelt is an absolute pleasure to work with when purchasing a car. He helped us purchase a Honda vehicle 11 years ago, and we did not forget his high level of customer service then. He still provides outstanding customer service - he called us to let us know if a prior appointment was running over time so we would not have our time wasted; he had several cars out in front parked and waiting for us all in a row to compare the vehicles easily; he is always responsive to our needs; he explains everything thoroughly and showed us all the ins and outs of the new car as well. We would highly recommend Ed to anyone. We have also always had good experiences at the dealership with purchases and service. Thank you! More

Excellent car buying experience at Curtiss Ryan Honda. We had purchased a car from Ed Blauvelt several years ago and returned to him again for this new Honda purchase, and once aga at Curtiss Ryan Honda. We had purchased a car from Ed Blauvelt several years ago and returned to him again for this new Honda purchase, and once again he was fantastic start to finish. He worked with us on internet pricing, obtained several colors for us to look at and was very knowledgeable about the vehicle and patiently went through it all with us. Super low key buying experience that came off as just being easy. Marcin Kieltyka, who helped us work out the finances said he would take up about 8 minutes of our time and he did just that. Super organized and on the ball and a great sense of humor got the job done in 8 minutes. To accomodate our schedule when we picked up the vehicle Ed arranged for Chris Mrijsi to go over the car with us. Chris was equally as fabulous and did a great job with perfect attention to detail and great patience with all of our questions. Start to finish the excellent team at Curtis Ryan Honda is freindly, professional and really made us feel like part of their Honda family from the start. Excellent car buying experience and an exceptional team. More
