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!

In the past sixty years, I have purchased between 15-20 vehicles and this was by far the most pleasant and easiest purchase I have made. This is largely due to the professionalism of the entire Garavel sta vehicles and this was by far the most pleasant and easiest purchase I have made. This is largely due to the professionalism of the entire Garavel staff and in particular Rafael Velez. Rafael is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very patient, and responsive to the customers needs. Most of all, he is not “pushy.” I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or lease a Subaru and I look forward to working with the rest of the Garavel staff. More
