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 did an excellent Things were explained clearly and well. Rafael and Jose were absolutely amazing and I felt easily able to trust both of them. Rafael did an excellent job with showing me the car, explaining it over, and making sure I had everything I needed and every answer through the entire process. Jose was incredibly helpful as well, and did really well at explaining the additional available protection packages. More

My sales person Michele was super helpful and patient. She explained the features of my new Crosstrek in detail, allayed my various concerns, and convinced me that this vehicle was perfect as my new car.

My salesman, Rafael, was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and tr Norwalk, Connecticut.. From start to finish, it was an excellent experience. My salesman, Rafael, was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and treated me with respect. I feel like I got a great car at a great price. There was no going back-and-forth haggling over the price, and they gave me a fair price for my trade-in, the whole process went very smoothly. On the day I picked up the car, Rafael took me around to all the other departments at the dealership. Each department gave me a small gift thanking me for buying my car from them! I would highly recommend Garavel Subaru . They even gave me a toy, a chewbaru, for my dog! More
