My car buying experience I purchased a 2015 Honda CRV EX-L from Criswell Honda in Germantown. My sales person was Kevin Ferguson and my financial adviser was Jim Walker. What I purchased a 2015 Honda CRV EX-L from Criswell Honda in Germantown. My sales person was Kevin Ferguson and my financial adviser was Jim Walker. What I found utterly ridiculous was the painful amount of time it took to make the deal. I came in at approximately 2:20 pm and did not leave Criswell with my car until 9 pm. There is no reason on earth for the entire process to take that long. Also, during that time, the staff at Criswell didn't so much as offer me a glass of water or a snack. It felt like an interrogation tactic to get me to agree to something I didn't want, and it almost worked --I almost agreed to leasing the car which would have been a mistake for me. Kevin and the managers provided me with what I found to be very confusing information. I finally called a family member and had him run the numbers for me. Also, If a customer is going to spend 30,000 bucks for vehicle, the least that Criswell could do would be to offer him/her a glass of water. Finally, one other thing about Kevin, he should have thrown in the car mats. By the time I finally made it to the finance guy (Jim Walker), I was dehydrated and hypoglycemic. I bought a bag of pretzels from the vending machine to keep me from fainting. In the end, Jim did what he was supposed to do, and more importantly he helped me out with the warranty and got me a lower rate (for which I am very appreciative -- Thank you again Jim). What could have made the dinance process better is to start by explaining how he came up with the final figure to be financed-- perhaps by showing me an itemized listing of the agreed upon price of the car, all the fees, taxes, and interest rates. Jim started out by showing me what my monthly payment would be if I purchased one of their warranty plans. The monthly payment incorporated the final price that I would pay for the car plus the warranty plan (and the interest rate that I hadn't seen yet). He could have explained the warranty plans up front without all the confusing monthly payments (with the various warranty plans incorporated in the amount to be financed). By doing this first, I had no idea what interest rate he was giving me, the fees and taxes. Also when finally checking the numbers, I also found a $48 difference (in their favor). They corrected it and gave me a $50 credit. My main purpose for posting this review is in hopes that the experience will be better for the next person. More
Very friendly and helpful sales department Overall, I had a great experience working with Kwame Odum. Kwame was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and made the somewhat stressful experience of bu Overall, I had a great experience working with Kwame Odum. Kwame was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and made the somewhat stressful experience of buying my first car a great one - I would highly recommend him!!!! He went above and beyond to make sure that I was confident in my final decision. He was easy to get in contact with, which was a huge help. After purchasing my car, I had an appointment with the service center to apply Cilajet to the interior/exterior of my car. Even though my appointment with the service center was on Kwame's day off, he made sure I was taken care of and that everything went smoothly. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend Kwame to guide you through the car shopping experience, he's a great person and a honest/knowledgeable sales consultant - especially if you have a ton of questions, like I did!

Great experience Night and day are the differences my wife and I had with two Honda dealers. One dealer was absolutely helpless, hapless and untruthful. Criswell and Night and day are the differences my wife and I had with two Honda dealers. One dealer was absolutely helpless, hapless and untruthful. Criswell and particularly Kwame Odum and Walter O'rooke were tremendously helpful, truthful and professional. We had a pleasant time dealing in our purchase of a new Honda Pilot; yes I wrote a pleasant time dealing with a car dealer! After making the deal we were passed on to the most delightful person in Finance, Jessica Baum, who really appeared to be watching out for our very best interests, finding the best financing and deals. Kudos to all. More
Unbelievably Awesome Experience! I had an unbelievably awesome experience at Criswell Hinda yesterday. I walked in with a frown, expecting to be approached by a pushy salesman. But I had an unbelievably awesome experience at Criswell Hinda yesterday. I walked in with a frown, expecting to be approached by a pushy salesman. But instead a wonderful gentle man approached me an asked my how he could be of service to me. We hit it off after that. I told him I wanted a base model with no frills attached, and that's what he showed me. He wasn't pushy and he didn't try to sell me what I didn't want. My "no" meant "no" to him. He was extremely respectful. Dominique Vattuone is the number one Salesperson in my book. Andy Russo in finance was just as courteous and friendly. He asked me what I wanted to pay, and he made it happen. I've been to many car dealerships , but this is the first time I truly enjoyed it because of the respectful, honest and friendly staff. Thank you Criswell Honda, Dominique and Andy. More

Germantown Criswell Has an Amazing Staff! I’ve purchased 2 cars in the past with satisfaction, but my 3rd car purchase was the best experience. Victor Castro was a wonderful car sales consulta I’ve purchased 2 cars in the past with satisfaction, but my 3rd car purchase was the best experience. Victor Castro was a wonderful car sales consultant. I came to Criswell with the thought that I would just look at cars, but when Mr. Castro showed me the 2015 Honda Civic, which I eventually decided to buy, he made the purchase process very easy (even though I didn't have all the paperwork on me including the car title to my other car). Mr. Castor also personally took care of me. He offered me coffee, and he even fed me Ledo’s pizza! When Mr. Castor and I test drove the car, I asked him a little about his personal life. Not only was he open to share his personal life with me, but I learned he’s a pastor as well. Needless to say, Mr. Castor and I have similar religious views, and before I left the dealership, we said a prayer in my new car. I felt extremely touched and blessed. He made feel like I was more than just a customer, but a family member. Mr. Castor also seems to go above and beyond what is expected of him. Before talking with the finance agent, Mr. Castor also told me that he would drop off the old tags at MVA for me. Criswell has a wonderful staff. When Mr. Castor was processing my paper work, 2 different people came up to me and said I was in very good hands because Victor Castor was handling my car purchase. I couldn’t agree more. Thank you so much! -Erika Hottinger More

The buying experience was pleasant and didn't take all day. I was out of there quickly and satisfied with my purchase of a Honda Accord Coupe.
