    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.

    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, Georgetown Subaru, also in Norwalk, CT.

    He is active in the community and 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 and a Beatlemaniac.

    If you see Paul walking around the dealership please say hi! He loves striking up conversation with customers and will do everything in his power to make his customers happy.

    Paul also owns Georgetown Subaru  our sister store.

  • Jeremy Garavel
    Information Technology Manager
    Jeremy Garavel
    (203) 845-8040

    Hire date: 3/2002

    In the winter of '88 Jeremy was born. He was birthed by three midwives-in-training and therefore, as a test-dummy of babies, he immediately traveled from womb to floor. Still crying, his mother picked him up, pushed his head back into position and hoped for the best.

    23 years later and it appears his head wasn't screwed on tight enough. Luckily, like in the movie The Island, Jeremy has a body double that he will one day be able to use for spare parts.

    To continue - after a few years of studying in PA, Jeremy got a degree in Economics. "In the long run, we're all..." he is often heard mumbling around the office. He is a John Nash enthusiast and probably the most anti-competitive competitive person you will ever meet.

    He loves being a vegetarian, excessively excessive, collecting silicon samples and running.
