My wife and I visited Criswell Alfa Romeo Maserati November 30 and Karifa Mara met us to inquire about why we were there. Of course, we were there to look at options for a new SUV/CAR since we had 6 m November 30 and Karifa Mara met us to inquire about why we were there. Of course, we were there to look at options for a new SUV/CAR since we had 6 months left on our lease for a 22 Stelvio. Karifa asked about our preferences as well as priorities and took us through their inventory. His intimate knowledge of the Alfa and Maserati vehicles led us to view two cars, an Alfa Giulia and a Maserati Grecale. At all times, we were respected and provided all type of information to make a solid choice in vehicles. We decided on the Maserati Grecale. Karifa is truly a class act, he took care of just about everything himself till we drove away with our new SUV. I would highly recommend dealing with him and the Criswell Dealership More

I am very fortunate that Mr. Mara was the representative that picked up my call. We discussed my interest in an Alfa Romeo, listed the options I was interested in and schedule Mara was the representative that picked up my call. We discussed my interest in an Alfa Romeo, listed the options I was interested in and scheduled an appointment for the next day. I walked into a beautiful showroom and Mr. Karifa greeted me with his engaging smile and in very stylish clothes. He definitely knew his car! In a very gentleman manner discussed the Alfa Romeo Giulia pricing, and purchase price that day. He already had the vehicle I chose the night before ready and detailed. I changed my choice so the car was ready the next day. Photos & a toast when picking up the Alfa. Hands on lessons from Karifa regarding the instruments and the entirety of this vehicle. MR. MARA PERFORMS SALESMANSHIP AND SERVICE IN THE OLD FASHIONED MANNER. DEFINITELY GO TO CRISWELL ALFA AND SEE HIM. More
