Born and raised in Norwalk, CT! I drive a 19' Subaru Crosstrek. It's Gray with Black rims...my favorite color combination on a car. I love to ski Vermont in the winter and hit the beaches of Cape Cod and Rhode Island in the summer.

My son and I walked in with an idea of what we wanted. We had been looking at cars since May! He finally found a car on the lot that he was interested in. Our financial situation isn’t the best, but Steve We had been looking at cars since May! He finally found a car on the lot that he was interested in. Our financial situation isn’t the best, but Steven had patience and worked to find the best solutions for us. We did not get the car we originally came to see, but left feeling confident that he helped us choose a great car. It had better safety features and was definitely a step up from the one we had come to see. Steven was helpful through every step. He even helped with speaking to the insurance company. We are very grateful for all he did for us. Thank you! I almost forgot the best part!! They are very dog friendly, Bruno got to go in their dog park, hang out at the desk. In the back where there is coffee and snacks, they also had a dog bowl with fresh water he got to drink! This was a wonderful experience. Again, thank you! More

Stephen was great. I came in to test drive an Impreza and after talking with him about what I was looking for in a vehicle, I also test drove the Crosstrek too. We went I came in to test drive an Impreza and after talking with him about what I was looking for in a vehicle, I also test drove the Crosstrek too. We went over the differences between the two in side-by-side printouts which was really helpful for me for me to see visually. I never felt pressured into anything while I took a few days to make a final decision. I ended up going with the Crosstrek and he also suggested that I could see the colors in person again on the cars in the lot before making a final decision (which was helpful since I was going back and forth). He was patient while I had a challenging work schedule for picking up the car. Details and attention like that stood out and made it a very overall positive experience for me. Now I'm a first-time Subaru owner. More

I had a great experience with a purchase from Stephen at Garavel, my dad has bought a car with him, and I bought my first car with him. Stephen took great care of both of us and was super helpful in the pro Garavel, my dad has bought a car with him, and I bought my first car with him. Stephen took great care of both of us and was super helpful in the process. It was very nice that he took extra care when explaining everything, he was transparent throughout the sales process, and he was very easy to work with. They gave us both a great deal + experience, I would definitely recommend Stephen and Garavel to friends and family in the future. More

I unfortunately had to revisit Garavel after only 8 months with my last car due to my 2024 Crosstreck getting totaled by a tree. I knew I had no choice but to work with Stephen who had brought me a fai months with my last car due to my 2024 Crosstreck getting totaled by a tree. I knew I had no choice but to work with Stephen who had brought me a fair price with my Crosstreck and did not play games or try to oversell me. I hope not to need to get a third card from Stephen or Garavel anytime soon but have sent my aunt and would have no fear to send anyone to get cars from Stephen or Garavel Subaru. More

Stephen Shaughnessy and his colleagues made buying a new car pleasant and quick. Stephen is professional, didn't oversell/push, and answered all our questions on the two vehicles we were considering .... car pleasant and quick. Stephen is professional, didn't oversell/push, and answered all our questions on the two vehicles we were considering .... and even pulled two similar vehicles into a warm service bay so we could check them out. Garavel had the largest selection of Subarus of any dealer in the tri-state area but not our requested version ... however, in 7 days, they delivered the car we wanted. Stephen also must have spent close to an hour going over all the electronics and setting up the screens how we wanted them to display. From the receptionist to the closing person, Jose, everyone was pleasant, professional and transparent. Strongly recommend. More
