Paul moved to Norwalk almost 10 years ago - making this store his second Jeep store in CT. In the car business from a young age, he already had over 20 years of automotive experience. In October of 2012 he changed the name from Georgetown Chrysler Jeep Dodge to Garavel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. Diversified interests have always been his strength. While a student in college he was a member of the Connecticut General Assembly representing Danbury for ten years. Three years after his retirement from politics he purchased Georgetown Jeep in Wilton, CT, which grew to be Connecticut's largest Jeep dealer. Additionally he opened a tiny Subaru store a few miles south of Georgetown Jeep, which eventually became our sister store, Garavel Subaru, also in Norwalk, CT. He is active in the community, supports breast cancer research and fighting poverty. His passions in life include his work, ice cream, boating and his family. He is an avid Yankee fan, Giants fan and a Beatlemaniac.

Good: Charlie did a great job. Courteous, respectful, and has good ethics. Charlie is learning the job and making a concerted effort to support the customer. BAD: Management i Courteous, respectful, and has good ethics. Charlie is learning the job and making a concerted effort to support the customer. BAD: Management is horrible! Picked up vehicle in pouring rain, no dry areas to inspect. Got home found multiple paint scratches. Jeremy told me to get an estimate from a body shop which I did and when presented told me this in writing “ After further thought, we won't be covering the repair.Good luck with your Jeep.” & “ You're accusing us of having damaged the car and it is something you could have damaged as well. You've been difficult from the start.” I don’t care what you think, you don’t say that to a customer and he obviously intended on wasting my time. WOULD HAVD PREVENTED THE SALE: Had I known that Jeep has a CHRONIC issue with their paint corroding because they do not paint behind the door hinges and They DO NOT warranty for such repairs, I would have NEVER purchased any JEEP. Between their take it or leave it attitude, poor business ethics, WAY over priced products and many poor YELP and Google reviews sums up that buying from this dealer and this product is a huge mistake.

We drove 85 miles because Garavelle had the exact model Jeep Wrangler we were looking for including the color and options packages. We had no idea how awesome we would be treated when we got there.

We had an awesome time working with Annie and other representatives who spent significant time insuring we were satisfied with our purchase, the financial aspects and the delivery of the vehicle.

The vehicle itself was for for us to take delivery the same day we went to view it which we did not expect. More
