Excellent long-distance transaction After finding the new Maserati GranTurismo I was interested in on the Criswell website, a telephone call was it took to get the ball (or wheels) rolli After finding the new Maserati GranTurismo I was interested in on the Criswell website, a telephone call was it took to get the ball (or wheels) rolling. Having never purchased a vehicle sight unseen, I was not sure what to expect or the process by which this would be accomplished, but James Tan was very professional, helpful and honest with every aspect of my purchase. From answering questions and sending photos to emailing necessary paperwork for completion of the transaction and then meeting the auto transport truck to ship the car to me, James was top-notch. I could not have asked for a more seamless car buying experience! More

Great experience getting into a new Alfa Romeo Guilia Had a great experience at the dealership, and with James Tan in sales. Tremendous selection of vehicles, a totally up front and honest deal, a salesma Had a great experience at the dealership, and with James Tan in sales. Tremendous selection of vehicles, a totally up front and honest deal, a salesman willing to let the customer take their time in the decision making process. We communicated via email and text and he was very responsive. His knowledge of the product was remarkable - he systematically went through the vehicle with me on delivery, and made sure I was comfortable with the operation (especially of the great information system!). He also gave great tips about features that I would not have thought of. Provided me with all of the purchase and lease options that I wanted to consider. More

New lease purchase We started our process with James Tan over the phone. We told him what car we wanted (Alpha Romeo Giulia) and the price range we needed to be in. When We started our process with James Tan over the phone. We told him what car we wanted (Alpha Romeo Giulia) and the price range we needed to be in. When we met James a few days later he showed us the car we discussed. It was nice but after seeing some of the other options we changed our mind on the car. Both James and Robert (the Sales manager) were fabulous! They made the buying experience smooth and easy. Everyone at the dealership was friendly. They make you feel extra special by taking a photograph of you and your family next to your new car. My children got a kick out of this. We will be sure to send any friends and family in the market for a new car to Criswell Maserati-Alfa Romeo More

GO SEE JAMES TAN!! He was very well-informed and honest with my options and the best choice to ensure I enjoyed my new vehicle. Extremely personable. Yes, he's a TAN!! He was very well-informed and honest with my options and the best choice to ensure I enjoyed my new vehicle. Extremely personable. Yes, he's a car salesman, BUT he's also an educator! I learned a lot and spent about 1.5 hours talking with him about my needs and wants. He did not rush me, he took his time and gave me my space. I love James and all of the staff at Germantown Maserati. More

Great service, fantastic negotiation for a fabulous car! I was searching around for a specific car for several months. Searching all over the country, looking at web sites, emailing dealers, etc. But when I was searching around for a specific car for several months. Searching all over the country, looking at web sites, emailing dealers, etc. But when it came down to it, the best dealer was in my own backyard in Maryland. I negotiated the base deal, came in and had a great test drive and bought the car. Its the small things, like having the car in front, started, had a customer sign on it, etc. Makes you feel special when someone goes out of there way on the details. After purchasing it, they cleaned it up and when I picked it up, it had a giant red bow on it! I was working with James Tan and Robert Buchanan. They both were extremely knowledgeable and made you feel that you were driving something really special. More

James Tan Rocks! I just had the most remarkable car-buying experience at Criswell Maserati-Alpha Romeo with James Tan, the salesman providing the best experience I hav I just had the most remarkable car-buying experience at Criswell Maserati-Alpha Romeo with James Tan, the salesman providing the best experience I have ever had. I had narrowed my search to either the Maserati Levante or the Alpha Romeo Stelvio. James called me when the first 2 Stelvios in the US rolled off the truck. From the first phone call through my becoming the first Stelvio owner in the US, James was terrific, low-key but extremely knowledgeable about both vehicles. I can't say enough about the experience. I met Omar when we closed and he was charming and very helpful I drove past 4 other dealers to work with James and the Criswell Alpha Romeo team! More
