Can we Drop Off a New 2021 Tahoe or Suburban in Your Driveway?

At Maritime Chevrolet, our team is made up of people who care about our customers and our community. This month, we are shining the spotlight on Kristoff Victor, one of our Sales Consultants whose energy, work ethic, and remarkable journey make him one of the most unique members of our team. Kristoff's path to the automotive industry is anything but conventional. Born in Haiti, he lived there until the age of 12 before relocating to New York, where he would spend the next several decades building a life full of varied and meaningful experiences. From running a cigar lounge to managing grocery stores, working his way up from car detailer to Detail Manager and Trainer, and eventually managing valet operations across three locations, Kristoff has always found a way to lead, grow, and connect with the people around him. In 2025, he made Connecticut home, and not long after, he found his way to Maritime Chevrolet. In just seven months with our team, he has already made a lasting impression. What Drives Him Ask Kristoff what he loves most about the automotive industry and his answer comes without hesitation: the people. "I love getting to know new people and building new relationships," he says. "I love the mystery of never knowing who you're going to meet next." That genuine curiosity about people is rooted in something deeper. Kristoff was raised by a single mother whose selflessness shaped the way he sees the world. "She put her needs before mine, not out of selfishness, but out of love and sacrifice," he reflects. "In doing so, she taught me that kindness is a choice we can make every day." That philosophy guides the way Kristoff approaches every customer interaction, every single day. Proud Moments at Maritime In his short time with the dealership, Kristoff has already collected some memorable milestones. A standout moment was helping a client purchase a Corvette they had worked 29 years to afford, a sale that meant far more than a transaction. He has also earned recognition as a top New Car Sales Consultant just months into the role, and of course, there was the beloved dealership tradition of getting his tie cut on his very first sale. He is also trilingual, something that allows him to connect with an even broader range of customers in a meaningful way. Outside the Showroom When Kristoff is not at Maritime Chevrolet, you can find him at home with his wife and their cats, making trips to New York to spend time with his mother, or working on his personal vehicles in Bridgeport. He is a car enthusiast through and through, and his dream ride? A C6 Corvette in red. Kristoff is not just building a career at Maritime Chevrolet. He is building a future. "I plan to be in the business for the rest of my life," he says. "I have my goals set already." We are grateful to have Kristoff on our team and cannot wait to see everything he accomplishes in the years ahead. If you have not had the chance to work with him yet, stop by Maritime Chevrolet and introduce yourself. We have a feeling you will be glad you did.

Buying a used car should feel exciting, not stressful. At Maritime Chevy, we’ve partnered with CarBravo to make it easy to shop, compare, and buy certified used vehicles from a wide selection of makes and models. Each listing includes a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, photos, key features, and a full inspection report, so you can shop with total confidence. CarBravo is a different kind of used vehicle experience that combines the confidence of GM-backed certification, transparent pricing, and a level of support that goes well beyond the sale. Whether you are shopping online from your couch or walking our lot in person, CarBravo makes finding the right vehicle easier than ever. Every CarBravo vehicle must pass a thorough multi-point inspection before it is certified and offered for sale. Before any vehicle is listed or sold, GM requires dealers to complete all outstanding safety recalls, giving you added peace of mind from the very start. And every CarBravo vehicle comes backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty at no extra cost, helping protect key vehicle components long after you drive off the lot. Not sure it is the perfect fit? No problem. CarBravo gives you a 10-day or 500-mile exchange window, whichever comes first, so you can drive with confidence knowing that if something does not feel right, you have options. That kind of flexibility is rare in the used car world, and it speaks to the CarBravo commitment to putting buyers first. Every CarBravo vehicle comes with access to an impressive package of ongoing support, including access to more than 3,800 nationwide service centers, 24-hour roadside assistance, courtesy transportation, a one-month OnStar trial, and a three-month SiriusXM trial.

Another successful 5k is in the books. The Fairfield Police Sunset 5K, held July 15th, brought together runners, walkers, families, and neighbors for a spectacular night at the beach in support of two outstanding causes. With over 1,000 participants taking on either the scenic 3.1-mile run or the .8-mile walk along Fairfield Beach Road and finishing at the beautiful Jennings Beach, the event was nothing short of a community celebration. T-shirts, food trucks, treats for the kids, and refreshments for adults of age made for a festive atmosphere that captured everything great about summertime in Fairfield. All proceeds from the event were donated to two incredibly worthy organizations: the Fairfield Police Union Scholarship Fund and the Fairfield Police Foundation. The Fairfield Police Union Scholarship Fund, established in 2014, awards scholarships to children of Fairfield Officers as well as students at Fairfield's public high schools and several area schools including Fairfield Prep, Notre Dame, Fairfield Ludlowe, and Fairfield Warde. Many of these scholarships are awarded in honor of the late Judge Dan Caruso, a meaningful tribute to a beloved member of the community. The Fairfield Police Foundation, founded in 2021, raises and distributes funds to the Fairfield Police Department for equipment, wellness programs, and training that fall outside the municipal budget. The foundation also provides critical support to the town's K-9 Unit, covering the care and costs of the dogs that serve alongside our officers every day. This year's event also featured the 2nd Annual Sock It to Summer Drive, a sock donation initiative benefiting Nourish Bridgeport, a community-powered nonprofit creating long-term solutions for food and resource insecurity in our area. Socks are the number one most requested item by shelters and community support programs, and the response from the Fairfield community was tremendous. Nourish Bridgeport does extraordinary work every single week, including distributing groceries and essentials to over 3,000 neighbors weekly, delivering hot meals and fresh produce to more than 250 people every Thursday, and operating Connecticut's first nonprofit indoor hydroponic farm, which grows fresh, pesticide-free produce to fight food deserts and supply schools and pantries across the region. Maritime Chevrolet is deeply grateful to be part of a community that shows up the way Fairfield does. Events like the Police Sunset 5K remind us why giving back is so important, and why supporting the men and women who protect our community, the students who represent its future, and the neighbors who need a helping hand is always worth celebrating. We look forward to supporting this event again next year and continuing to be an active part of the Fairfield community for many years to come!
