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!

Rafael - the best car salesman I have ever met - very courteous, easy to work with, honest and extremely efficient. Also very knowledgeable in setting up the car. Not only did he beat my best quote, but courteous, easy to work with, honest and extremely efficient. Also very knowledgeable in setting up the car. Not only did he beat my best quote, but made sure the price amount didn't change with unexpected fees. He also made sure I spent the least amount of time in the dealership. Greatly appreciated and highly recommended. In regards to overall new car buying experience, I felt the 5 year warranty and car accessories were a bit too expensive. More

It was a wonderful experience for me in purchasing my 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. I knew that Subura had the highest safety record and when I heard that Subaru was coming out with a new SUV Hybrid I we 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. I knew that Subura had the highest safety record and when I heard that Subaru was coming out with a new SUV Hybrid I went to the Subaru’s Website where my inquiry went to Garavel Subaru. Then Rafael Vezel reached out to me through texting and phone call. I went to the dealership where Rafeal Vezel and Sales Manager Teddy Mochlas help me to order from the factory one of the newest Forester Hybrid with all the options I was looking for. During the months since starting the process they would reach out to confirming and finalizing the vehicle’s options. Then Rafeal worked with to finalize dealing with my crazy life events. Rafeal went and explained the vehicle set. and features and walked me to the dealership service and parts department. Then Rafael brought me to Tom Nerreau who helped to finalize the sale explaining all the option and warranty items. Now having the dealership just down the road will make servicing my vehicle so much easier and with friendly pleasure. So, I would recommend Garavel Subaru to anyone who is interested in buying a Subaru or wants a real safety conscious vehicle. More
