Hi all! This is my first post on the wrangler forms. I have always wanted a Jeep since I was a kid. I stumbled upon this website way back in November 2019 when my wife and I were shopping around at local dealerships here in Pittsburgh, PA. Before I tell you about how amazing my Criswell Jeep experience was. I want to tell everyone how my experience was dealing with local dealerships here in Pittsburgh was.
My wife and I knew we wanted a Rubicon. We went to several dealerships here in Pittsburgh. The first dealership was Jim Shorkey Chrysler Jeep on McNight Road in North Hills. This was the first week of November. What a total and COMPLETE waste of time. Long story short. We were there all day. They tried to sell us a car they didn't have. Then they were trying to use slimy sales tactics with us and would not be transparent on the price. They also didn't have a Jeep that we wanted. They expected us to compromise features for color, or both for the trim level. So, overall... It was a very bad, very terrible, experience. I under no circumstances would ever recommend my worst enemy go to Jim Shorkey in North Hills to buy a Jeep. EVER
After Shorkey, I contacted Monroeville Chrysler Jeep. This was equally just as bad an experience. I couldn't even get the internet manager to call me back. It was like they were too good to even call me back? Honestly, I couldn't believe it. I have never had experiences quite so bad while "trying" to buying a car.
So, the bottom line is... If you're from the Pittsburgh Area... All the Jeep dealers suck and are not willing to work with you at all. I could barely even get a dealership to accept custom orders. Which is what we wanted to do because we wanted a very specific build.
I will also add... I had my own financing setup up through my credit union. I had a blank check ready to be signed... Still, even with cash in hand... No one in Pittsburgh would sell me a Jeep. It was absolutely unbelievable!
Instead of wasting your time with dealerships in Pittsburgh...
Just call JEON TRAVIS at CRISWELL JEEP!!!!
I was at my wits end. I knew the exact Jeep I wanted with the exact features I wanted but couldn't find a dealership who would take my order and give me a good deal. I emailed Leon at 10 PM on 12/9/2019. The next morning when I woke up on 12/10/2019, Leon had already emailed me a full deal sheet with straight forward pricing. NO BS! Pure and simple. It was EXACTLY what I asked him for. No runaround... No games... Very straight forward. And it was a GOOD DEAL! No other dealer could touch the price Leon gave us!
I inspected the order to ensure accuracy. He got it right the very first time. Which is amazing, especially with the experience I'd had with the other dealers. I immediately called my wife and told her everything. She was on board. A few minutes later, I called Leon and ordered the 2020 Rubicon!
Leon got us exactly what we wanted for the price we wanted. I didn't have to compromise anything. Leon kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and was very patient with us. We were trading in a Toyota Rav4 that ended up having a complicated title issue due to moving out of state where the Rav4 was originally bought. But Leon was cool and helped us and remained patient with us even though it was a complex annoying problem. We got it fixed and the trade-in deal was painless.
On 01/02/2020 the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was delivered to Criswell! My wife and I drove down there and picked it up with our Weimaraner. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I cannot recommend Leon and Criswell enough.
This was the easiest most straight forward car buying experience I have ever had! If you're in the market for a new Jeep and you're willing to make the drive down to Gaithersburg MD.
DO IT! You will NOT regret it.
Thanks, Leon!!!
