Gary Baumann of Garavel Subaru was a pleasure to work
Gary Baumann of Garavel Subaru was a pleasure to work with when purchasing my “new-to-me” Crosstrek, even to staying late to accommodate my son-in-law and me when we were stuck in traffic on our way from Hartford to pick up the car. I would recommend him to anyone!

Stephen was extremely helpful in my search for a used car. Even though my initial searches turned up non-Subarus, he made sure to focus on my needs without the typical sales "pressure". Realizing that a used Forester was perfect for my needs, Stephen was able to get me into the car quickly.
