Don't buy from here, and don't bring in your family either I will give this "Alfa Romeo/Maserati" dealership the absolute worst possible rating, for their poor treatment of customers. We came in today with I will give this "Alfa Romeo/Maserati" dealership the absolute worst possible rating, for their poor treatment of customers. We came in today with my father to test drive a new Alfa Romeo Giulia, since he is on the market for a new car. The manager James, who started working with us, asked my father for his drivers license. I gave him mine too, because I expected to try out the car also. I occasionally drive my fathers car, so I wanted to give the Alfa Romeo, and see how it would be for a daily. Don't get me wrong, it was not the 80k version, or anything fancy....but just a basic Giulia AWD (~45k). I would imagine it would sell for 39,000-40,000 in the end with the discount. When the manager saw my drivers license, he said that "I am not allowed to drive since I am 19", and that my dad has to drive, even though I have a full drivers license, and my father was right next to me. I have so far test driven more expensive vehicles than this, which had more power than the test drive vehicle. Company policy? That's was sort of expected (due to last experience), since this is the way Criswell treats their customers. A couple of months ago, I wanted to try a used Chrysler 300 @ gaithersburg chrsyler Criswell. When I asked the manager If I could try it, he said "no buddy", and sarcastically laughed at me. Then he waved "go away". The main reason for that was because I was "not 21". Again, bullshit in my opinion. Every other dealer let me drive, even when I had a permit, and was looking for my first car. These where BMW, Audi, Nissan, all in the 27,000-35,000 range. Is it normal in other dealerships? Hell no! Every other dealer we have been to allowed me to try the car, even if it was a $60,000 vehicle, or an $18,000 car. We were not on the mood to argue. Honestly, I wanted to sit up front for the test drive (forget of even driving the car), but the manager insisted that I sit in the back seat, where I could not even try out the features and entertainment system of the vehicle. The test drive itself was mostly fine, the manager showed some features, and that was mostly it. Overall, don't go to Criswell, because they treat you like shit, especially if you are not 21. Criswell, just a question for you. So at 18, I can go to war, kill people, serve my country, get married, go to college, get a job....but I cannot test drive a car? Thank you for your amazing treatment, and age discrimination! If we ever buy an Alfa Romeo or any other car that you sell....it will not be from you. More
