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.
