I was born and raised in Danbury. I have been married to my lovely wife Amy for over 22 years and we currently live in Brookfield with our son. When not at work, I enjoy traveling, working out and playing basketball with my son. We also love to try new restaurants and enjoy eating various international cuisines. Shortly after graduating from Western CT State University in 2003, I began my career in the car business. Today, I am a certified Subaru Service Manager and pride myself in treating each and every customer as if they were a member of my family.

I have been using this dealer since 2000. It has changed owners since then but the service has gotten better over the years. We just acquired our 4th Subaru from them. No high pressure sales. More

UPDATE: I believe these reviews are important (positive and negative) and I want to be fair. Nelson Demelo (General Manager) and I spoke and we both agree on what we feel happened. The conversation ended on a positive note for the dealership but the jury is out on the service dept as I’m not sure yet.

Feb 06, 2023

Brewster Subaru responded

Hello Donna, I appreciate you taking my call and having a nice conversation with me. I have a great crew here and I am thankful for that. I know we make mistakes, but we own them. We learn from them. It's important to realize when we make mistakes and it's just as important on how we handle them. I hope you give us a chance to make it up to you and restore your trust in us. Thanks again for taking my call. My best, Nelson De Melo General Manager Brewster Subaru 845-278-8300
