Paul moved to Norwalk almost 10 years ago - making this store his second Jeep store in CT. In the car business from a young age, he already had over 20 years of automotive experience. In October of 2012 he changed the name from Georgetown Chrysler Jeep Dodge to Garavel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. Diversified interests have always been his strength. While a student in college he was a member of the Connecticut General Assembly representing Danbury for ten years. Three years after his retirement from politics he purchased Georgetown Jeep in Wilton, CT, which grew to be Connecticut's largest Jeep dealer. Additionally he opened a tiny Subaru store a few miles south of Georgetown Jeep, which eventually became our sister store, Garavel Subaru, also in Norwalk, CT. He is active in the community, supports breast cancer research and fighting poverty. His passions in life include his work, ice cream, boating and his family. He is an avid Yankee fan, Giants fan and a Beatlemaniac.

originally we thaught my daughters jeep needed brakes done, We were quoted $840 dollars, We then find out the calipers and brake lines were defective and covered under warranty. so we asked since the old done, We were quoted $840 dollars, We then find out the calipers and brake lines were defective and covered under warranty. so we asked since the old brake pads will be taken out to replace calipers can they just put new ones in and swap out rotors. they said they would take $100 dollars off original brake job cost of $840. so they are putting old brake pads in new calipers that probably caused the brakes to fail in the first place, This is outrageous greed and terrible customer service and they know we wanted to buy another Wrangler after are other car lease was done. there is no chance of this now. To add insult to injury, now your mechanic breaks off a bolt putting the new parts, you don't stock the bolt and yet we don't have the car for another day. You don't offer a loaner or even offer to drop it off when your done fixing your mistake. Great customer service now your steeling money from us.They order a new bolt but never put it in they test drove it twice, My daughter then drove it to pick up kids she was baby sitting. Someone heard a noise coming from her wheel, a mechanic checked it out they never put the new bolt in or bled the brakes. So not only did they put my child's life in danger there were 3 young children in the vehicle. See video and consider this when going to this dealership More
