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.

Great experience. Great people I had a very good experience with my purchase at this dealership. The people were friendly, helpful and they got back to me in a timely manner. Many I had a very good experience with my purchase at this dealership. The people were friendly, helpful and they got back to me in a timely manner. Many dealers don't follow up at all! I especially want to give props to Annie who is an amazing salesperson. She made the entire experience easy without being overbearing or pushy. A regular person! When I went in to get the car it was cleaned, prepped and ready to go. The process took less than an hour and I was on my way. Thank you to all at Garavel and especially Paul who does so many good things for the community. It is greatly appreciated. More
