<p>Maybe I am ignorant about this. But it appears to me that although there are many bank branches in New Haven, there are either zero or very few car dealers which are close by.</p>
<p>Where do Yale students or faculties go to if their cars (assuming their cars are relatively new) need to be serviced? While I was in New Haven, I found that there are one or two dealers in North Haven (likely Ford or Chevy.) All other dealers seem to be quite far away. It is much easier to find a rental car company than a new car dealer near Yale.</p>
<p>I may be somewhat strange in this regard: If I want to buy a car, a high priority item for me is whether I will have an easy access to their service department. I do not want to drive (or tow) my car more than 20 miles for every service. (I do not have much loyalty to any specific brand, except that the car needs to be 4WD/AWD.)</p>
<p>oops… I meant to post this question on the Yale Parents thread but made a mistake. Sorry about being off the topic.</p>
