Over the years, I've leased many different luxury vehicles from different dealerships. By far, Karifa made my new Maserati deal the best experience I had! Always ready and available to answer questions at any time, our first call took place at 8:30pm after he immediately followed up to an inquiry I made through the internet... Karifa it's been a pleasure to work with, he's a true businessman that understands what makes you comfortable and delivers killer deals you can't refuse. I will definitely recommend Karifa ! Looking forward to my next deal! More

No Games, No Presssure, Above and Beyond Customer Service I was in the market for a new car but was not in a rush to buy. My sister went into the dealership and few days before met with Karifa who she descri I was in the market for a new car but was not in a rush to buy. My sister went into the dealership and few days before met with Karifa who she described as polite, fashionable, and professional she was very excited and told me she was going back on the weekend and encouraged me to come with her. I did. I did a test drive of the Stelvio it was fantastic, but, I didn't want to buy the first car I saw since I was in no rust to buy. During the month I went to a few more dealers and came back to Criswell and Karifa because I realize he was warm, personable, has excellent knowledge of his vehicles. I brought my Stelvio and am a happy camper. Karifa did not pressure me, he was easy to work with, He gave me a few pointers and a few small lessons to made sure I knew how to operate the vehicle before I drove off the lot. Due to his expertise , knowledge and personality I highly recommend Criswell Maserati and Karifa to anyone in the market for a new Alfa Romeo you will not be disappointed. I also have to give kudos to Aaron and Robert for their great customer service and professionalism. They also made my experience smooth and pleasant. More

Outstanding! My experience buying from this dealership is the best that I have had in over 30 years. Karifa is amazing, he has expert knowledge of his products. My experience buying from this dealership is the best that I have had in over 30 years. Karifa is amazing, he has expert knowledge of his products. I came to the dealership wanting to know about the Stelvio and how it compared to two other Maker’s I was considering. Karifa was able to provide an objective overview, I visited the other car makers and ended back at Alfa Romero and purchased the Stelvio. I had such a great experience I brought my sister in and she also purchased a Stelvio. I am not one to write reviews, but this was such a great experience i wanted to share it. More

What A Blessed Surprise Ok my story. I was looking but not really expecting to find what I really wanted being I've at other dealerships and was disappointed at the service a Ok my story. I was looking but not really expecting to find what I really wanted being I've at other dealerships and was disappointed at the service and the terms of the sale. But my husband and I decided to give it one more try. We entered in Criswell dealership and was greeted by many, but one stop to ask what are you looking for and I promise you will leave here will a big smile on your face. Low and behold that's exactly what happened. Karifa was very patient with me and my needs concerning what I was looking for without breaking the bank. He understood so well it was a same day buy. I walked in out a ride left with my new Stelvio what a blessed surprise! I traveled from South Korea to get this ride oh happy day. Thank you Karifa and staff for help making it happen for me. Looking to buy a Alfa Romeo, this is place and the man. Thanks again LaTanya GBane More

He helped narrow the field of cars by email, and when I walked into the dealership, he truly made the buying process easy. Karifa and Rob didn't mess around. They gave me more than fair value for my trade, and gave me a price I couldn't refuse on the Levante. When I came in to finish all of the paperwork, Karifa had me in and out within an hour - and he even came in long before his shift started, which was super helpful. If there were 10 stars, I would give it to these guys. While I have dreaded the car buying experience for most of my life, it was definitely painless at Criswell with Karifa! More

Outstanding, exceptional,informative, seamless experience! Kudos to Karifa and Robert for giving us an exceptional level of service. Karifa was so knowledgeable, extremely patient and such a professional in m Kudos to Karifa and Robert for giving us an exceptional level of service. Karifa was so knowledgeable, extremely patient and such a professional in making the entire process so flawless for us. He had answers to every question and query my teenage son had for him. Karifa being such a thorough gentleman even stayed an extra hour after closing on his birthday trying to help us decide the vehicle. He even filled up all the necessary paperwork for us. He made sure to explain all the minute details and features of the Ghibli model that we bought which we would never be able to figure out ourselves. Karifa took such amazing care of us right till the delivery of the vehicle. He is such a warm, caring and friendly person that he became like family to us! We are so grateful to him for all his help and patience! Thanks for being so dedicated and meticulous and for being so good at what you do! I would highly recommend him to everyone, please see him for five star service! God bless! Have a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for making our holidays special with the best car in the world! PS: special Mention for Mr Robert too with this dealership. He again is the most patient and warm person we have met, he was also instrumental in giving us a unique, top class car buying experience! Both Robert and Karifa were able to explain to us in detail leasing versus buying options in depth. Standing ovation for this terrific team! Happy holidays! Thanks a ton for your exceptional service!

Great Alfa Romeo buying experience! I recently purchased a used 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C from Karifa Mara at Criswell Maserati. Karifa was very pleasant to work with, and I will highly recomme I recently purchased a used 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C from Karifa Mara at Criswell Maserati. Karifa was very pleasant to work with, and I will highly recommend him to my friends and peers. After submitting an Autotrader email about the car, Karifa's email responses were prompt and helpful. He did not call me excessively or attempt to chase me down. As I am really short, he had his service department move the driver's seat in the car so that I could come down and safely test drive it before I arrived. Alfa Romeo 4Cs require manual seat height adjustment, so this gesture was extremely appreciated. The initial price of the car was below my expectations and the buying experience was simple, straightforward, and pleasant. After a brief negotiation, we reached a deal that I felt was mutually beneficial to everyone. I was in and out, in roughly 2 hours end to end. I was traveling to visit family prior to visiting Criswell Maserati, so I had my mother bring me to the dealership. Karifa made it a point to talk with her and entertain her while I was occupied. I really appreciated his willingness here as well. While I didn't interact much with them, Omar and Robert were also very pleasant to speak with when I did chat with them. I highly recommend Karifa and Criswell Maserati. More
