Perfect experience at Criswell Alfa. I was initially looking at used Alfa QVs until Karifa quoted me a deal on a new one I couldn’t pass up. He gave me his direct cell and promptly answered my question looking at used Alfa QVs until Karifa quoted me a deal on a new one I couldn’t pass up. He gave me his direct cell and promptly answered my questions even when he was off on Thanksgiving day. He and everyone there were a pleasure to work with and made this my best car buying experience yet. If you’re in the market for an Alfa, Maserati, or anything else they have, don’t hesitate to give them a call! More

I had such an amazing experience purchasing my Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI! The customer service was impeccable. I called the dealership around closing hours on a Friday and was greeted by Karifa. The color combo Stelvio TI! The customer service was impeccable. I called the dealership around closing hours on a Friday and was greeted by Karifa. The color combo that I wanted was very hard to find. This dealership had only one of that model in stock! I booked an appointment for the next day and traveled from NY. Karifa was on time and was pleasant to work with. He kept me in the loop through out the entire process. He is very knowledgeable on his vehicles and was able to answer all my questions. He made my purchasing experience such an ease! Krystie, the business manager was also very pleasant to work with! She was able to break down everything to my understanding. The dealership took care of everything in house and I was able to drive my car back to NY same day. I would definitely recommend this dealership and will be keeping in touch. Thank you Karifa & Krystie! Both were phenomenal. More

His energy and knowledge w decade, one which all should emulate! From my first visit, I was very much impressed with his enthusiasm for automobiles. His energy and knowledge was beyond the pale. Karifa took customer service to the highest level. While I've been a Lexus owner for the past couple decades, I always wanted an Alfa Romeo. He was very attentive and patient in helping me decide which vehicle was best for me, which also included a trip to another dealership. I would recommend any vehicle shopper from the novice to the expert to Karifa. More

From the moment we walked in, Karifa was polite and attentive. He wasn’t the typical salesman and didn’t push us at all into purchasing my vehicle. He was informative and knowledge. Not only did he fol attentive. He wasn’t the typical salesman and didn’t push us at all into purchasing my vehicle. He was informative and knowledge. Not only did he follow up on another vehicle for me, but when we weren’t able to get that one, he gave us a better deal. I absolutely love my Maserati Lavente and can not wait to work with him again; we’re practically family now. He’s literally the best person to work with. More
