The man is cle If you want a no pressure, high knowledge, friendly car buying experience you should look no further than Leon Travis at Criswell Jeep. The man is clearly an expert and an absolute professional, I cannot stress enough how fast, easy and pleasant the process was. I know for a fact I will be purchasing any and all vehicles from him in the future and will recommend him to anyone with 2 ears and a beating heart. With the exception of Julius who was friendly despite clear frustration at not being able to help, dealing with the rest of the team was a slow descent into hostility and a reluctance to make things easy. It began with attempting some high pressure sales BS when I was already committed to purchasing and trying to sell me an interest rate 4.5 points higher than what I had walked in with, after pulling the classic "Wait here..." for close to an hour, on a weekday before noon I was finally summoned to the back office to see Sam where I was offered the higher financing options despite being preapproved. As reprisal (there's no other reasonable explanation), upon pick up of the vehicle I was instructed by Thong Nguyen to complete the obligatory paperwork, it was late afternoon and I was pressed for time which I made known to the team with the hopes and assurances that they would accommodate me and when ready to go I got a "One more thing..." and made to secure insurance for the vehicle despite approval for financing and an existing policy that provided 72 hours of coverage and losing another 30-45 minutes in the process with my wife and kid in the parking lot waiting on me in case something were to go sideways which I half heartedly expected after some of the shenanigans they pulled. Just to recap: Leon is a human dynamo, I would go back to him in a heartbeat and you should definitely go see him. Julius was very nice. Sam and Thong where difficult and a bit hostile and if you can work with someone else you should. More

He was sensitive to my financial needs as well as my vehicle needs. Once again, Leon gets a 10 from me. This is the third Fiat I've purchased and the 1st from Criswell. He absolutely made sure he had all the facts before going forward with financing. Thong Nguyen was financially astute and brought my deal to financially acceptable levels. Great job. Julius was genuinely sincere and friendly. Overall my purchase along all lines was a solid 10 More

New Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited My wife and I had an amazingly positive experience at Criswell Jeep working with Leon and Julius. Leon was our salesman and Julius his manager. As par My wife and I had an amazingly positive experience at Criswell Jeep working with Leon and Julius. Leon was our salesman and Julius his manager. As part of my effort to find and buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I used the Navy Federal Credit Union Buying Program. Being from northern Virginia, I was initially disappointed that the only dealership identified was Criswell, which is located in Gaitherburg Maryland. I began my research by ignoring Criswell because I didn't want to drive to Maryland when there were four Jeep Dealers within 20 minutes of my home. But after getting the typical run around and non-committal responses from salesmen in VA, I decided to respond to Leon's very polite email offering to assist me. Leon is himself a vet and member of Navy Federal. Since my experience as a member and employee of Navy Federal has always been outstanding, I had to assume they would only work with Criswell Jeep if they too were outstanding. Well, they are! Leon was very responsive identifying vehicles that matched my preferences. But more importantly he sent me an email that listed MSRP, invoice, and all the savings I would enjoy buying through Criswell using the Navy Federal program. Leon also did something most dealerships won't do anymore. He gave me an "out the door" bottom line price, including taxes. Well, my wife and I decided to make the drive to Gaithersburg after work, which took about 45 minutes to an hour. Leon met us in the parking lot as we drove up; he was professional and gracious all at the same time. He had this amazing ability to make us feel welcomed and relaxed. We never felt any pressure. We went for a drive and decided to move up to the next highest level of Grand Cherokee from a Laredo or Altitude to the Limited. Because we forgot our check book, we asked to come back the following day, which was Leon's day off. Nevertheless, he came into work early to ensure the vehicle was ready, and the paperwork would go smoothly. He then returned to work around 7:00 PM when we said we'd come back. We arrived at 7:30 due to weather and traffic. The next hour or so was actually interesting, enlightening and fun. Leon explained all the features of our new vehicle and then we made small talk with his manager Julius as the paperwork was finalized. Bottom line: we never felt pressured; rather we felt like they were doing everything they could to get us a good deal, which the DID! The next time I have to buy a vehicle I will certainly return to Criswell. More

I believe that if all transactions were handled by people like Leon Travis, we would be far and above sales goals. Leon is a few things : Man of his word ; thoughtful ; knowledgeable and attentive without being pushy. His attention to detail and responsiveness make him a cut above the rest... He allowed me to create the schedule on the purchase and we had a mutual trust that consummated the "sale" with both sides benefiting. I would highly recommend working with Leon. More

Stress-Free Car Buying Experience We are very pleased with our experience at Criswell! As many will agree, the car buying process can be long (and painful!). Julius Green and Julian Ha We are very pleased with our experience at Criswell! As many will agree, the car buying process can be long (and painful!). Julius Green and Julian Hampton could not have made this process smoother. My family and I first went to Criswell on a Monday evening after work to take a look at a white Jeep Grand Cherokee that we found online. After being greeted immediately upon walking into the show room, our questions were answered, and moments later we were off for a test drive. We returned the next day to talk numbers and were able to arrive at a deal that absolutely worked for us. They were accommodating, flexible, and very customer focused. They took great care of us from start to finish, and we will definitely refer them to our family and friends. I highly recommend! More
