Hi, I'm Rafael Velez! I've been helping people find the right vehicles for nearly two years, and my goal is to completely change the way you view the car-buying process. My approach is entirely transparent and no-pressure—I believe my job isn't just to sell a car, but to genuinely listen to your needs so we can find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and budget. When I'm not at the dealership, my world revolves around my family and my community. I love spending time with my wife and daughter (especially showing my little girl my love for video games!) and serving as the youth leader at my church. I look forward to meeting you and making your next car purchase a great experience!

Traded in my old car and purchased a newer model of Subaru Forester. The price matched with what was discussed the first time which I truly appreciate. I think the trade-in offer was fair compared to Subaru Forester. The price matched with what was discussed the first time which I truly appreciate. I think the trade-in offer was fair compared to other dealership. There was a brief back-and-forth on pricing, but nothing out of the ordinary. I worked with Rafael in sales, who was professional, knowledgeable, patient and very helpful throughout the whole process. Overall, I had an amazing experience, thanks to Rafael who made it low-stress and fun. I would definitely recommend Rafael Velez and Garavel Subaru! More

We initially saw this Outback on CarFax, called the dealership and got all pertinent details. It was a hard-to-find trim package with low miles, leather, sunroof, and all the safety features we wanted dealership and got all pertinent details. It was a hard-to-find trim package with low miles, leather, sunroof, and all the safety features we wanted for a family car that our daughter would ultimately take to college. Rafael and Logan, his manager, were so helpful. We drove 2 hours from NJ to meet on a Sunday. Rafael was patient and kind as our daughter test drove it. He took so much time with her, and made sure we were 100% comfortable before moving to the contract bit. Definitely worth the drive and we LOVE the wagon. These Garavel folks are class acts all the way! More
