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

She is the definition of excellence, and basically single-handedly made it possible for me to drive my dream car off the lot, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. More
