Normally, I don’t write reviews but I had to in this instance because of my fantastic experience at Garavel Subaru in Norwalk. You must ask for Rafael Velez. By far, he is the best salesman I have ever instance because of my fantastic experience at Garavel Subaru in Norwalk. You must ask for Rafael Velez. By far, he is the best salesman I have ever had the pleasure of working with. What immediately caught my attention was the personalized video Rafael sent me. At that point I was only inquiring about the Outback Premium and Limited. In the video, he pointed out the differences between the two cars which I could see with my own eyes. I hadn’t even made an appointment to see Rafael at that point. When I visited the dealership the next day Rafael spent 4 hours with me. Test drove the car and decided on the Limited. I was pleasantly surprised at the price and we closed the deal. It would not have happened if it wasn’t for Rafael. He is hard working, honest and transparent. I also encountered genuinely friendly people from the front desk receptionist (sorry I didn’t get her name) to business manager, Gary. Such a positive experience I will be transferring my car’s service to Garavel. More

Garavel Subaru (of Norwalk, CT ) set the bar for Customer Service: they are the gold standard. From start to finish the experience was flawless and only confirmed why they were voted number one by Consumer R Service: they are the gold standard. From start to finish the experience was flawless and only confirmed why they were voted number one by Consumer Reports for vehicle reliability, but just as importantly is the Customer Service aspect. Professional, personable, knowledgeable, respectful, accommodating… get yourself a Subaru! It’s worth the trip to Norwalk. And BTW -Ask for Stephen or Raphael-and I can’t forget Gary in finance. P. S. The coffee is pretty good too! 😉 More

I brought my 91 year-old father to Garavel Subaru to look for a used car to purchase this past week. We had called ahead and told them what we might be interested in. As we pulled up a salesman introduc look for a used car to purchase this past week. We had called ahead and told them what we might be interested in. As we pulled up a salesman introduced himself as Rafael Velez and greeted us with a warm, friendly smile and a handshake. Rafael showed us three cars we inquired about (already parked side-by-side) and proceeded to tell us about each. We were also approached by the owner Jeremy Garavel which too greeted us with a welcoming handshake. He told us that he wanted this to be an enjoyable experience for us. During this whole process, Jeremy and Rafael handled the challenges of dealing with a 91-year-old man (hard of hearing and slow to walk) with the utmost care. With Dad‘s perfect 900 credit score we ended up with a 2017 Subaru outback. The process was easy, enjoyable and flawless. We are so grateful to everyone involved. We were treated with respect and warmth by Garavel Subaru! Sincerely, very happy customers, Kelly K. More
