My name is Sean Parauka and I was born and raised between Stratford and Orange. I graduated from Amity High School in and attended SCSU, where I graduated from with a major in Secondary Education, minor in History. After pursuing a career in education, I decided to change careers and began working for Curran Volkswagen in 2011. After seven years as a Sales Rep, I was promoted to Used-Car Manager. Outside of work, I'm a die-hard baseball fan and of the New York Yankees. I've visited over 20 MLB ballparks and am working on visiting all 30. I love Classic Rock and 1980s Hair Metal! Some of my favorite bands include: KISS, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, and Bon Jovi. I'm an avid traveler and am working towards visiting all 50 US states. Other passions of mine include going to concerts, breweries and wineries, trying new restaurants, video games, landscaping, and spending time with family and friends.

Chris Curran Jr was excellent to deal with. The price was a little higher than we wanted to spend seeing that the used Market at the time was so inflated we did okay negotiations went well. The car was clean More

Great experience. Easy and very happy with car, price, and friendly staff. Sean even took the time to give me full tour of car features - which is rare when buying a used car. Nice! More

Hello Lorreine. Barbara, our finance manager, was off on the day that Lorreine purchased her vehicle. You must meet with a finance manager to complete paperwork before leaving with the vehicle. The day after Lorreine's purchase, Barbara reached out to her via phone to verify info on her credit application. During the phone call, Lorreine informed her that she was already outside the dealership waiting, even though her paperwork had not been processed yet and we had not called her informing the vehicle was ready. This was the first time she showed up after purchasing the vehicle. Barbara informed her during this call that she was going to call her back with the results of her credit application before the end of the day. After processing Lorreine's application, Barbara called her back and informed Lorreine of her options, and asked her to call us back with her decision so we could schedule pickup time and prepare her car. Lorreine was supposed to call us and tell us what her final decision was, however, the next morning, she showed up expecting to take the car immediately, without calling us with her decision, and without a bank check. During this interaction, we reminded her that we were waiting to hear from her regarding her decision and to schedule an appointment. We then scheduled a pickup time with her and asked her to return at that time with a bank check. After we scheduled the appointment, she arrived over an hour late to her appointment, which forced us to have to take the next customer picking up their vehicle, since we could not keep them waiting for that long. Our finance manager Barbara has been working at Curran Volkswagen for over 13 years because of her outstanding customer service. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at wecare@curranvw.net.
