The team at Wantagh Mazda was friendly, helpful, and really made the experience enjoyable. I am very happy with my new 2017 Mazda 3 Grand Touring and all of it's features and the way it rides and feels. Josh was a terrific salesman and I highly recommend you go see him, and the rest of the team at Wantagh Mazda. I appreciate the time Josh spent with me going over all of the features of my new car.

Recently I had an Emergency where I needed to Lease another Vehicle from Wantagh Of Mazda. Not even 2 weeks ago I leased my first vehicle from them, the expereince was unbelivable compared to my prior experiences with Toyota, customer service was great, efficent, quick and to the point, no B.S and trying to sell you any extras.I returned to Mazda of Wantgh on Saturday to get some asssitance with leasing another vehicle due to a family emergency, I was in the door by 9:30AM, out the door by 10:30AM with my approval and car picked out, returned at 1:30PM to sign my Paperwork and drive my new Vehicle out.Kudos to all the staff at Mazda Of Wantagh, they are all great and curtious and understanding, its great when a family owned busineess can associate with the common family needs.I would like to throw out a special Thank You to Victor Liantonio and Kenny Davis, they were both great the first time, but the second time was even better, THANK YOU GUYS for everyting and understanding our needs.May all the staff at Wantagh Mazda have a blessed and Safe Holiday Season, you will definetly see me back when its time to re-up my leases, and anybody reading this review dont think twice about visiing Wantagh Mazda, once your their you will definetly understand what a great experince it is.

Extremely happy about my new lease on a titanium grand touring CX5 at Wantagh Mazda. It drives like a dream and has everything I wanted and more! Got a great deal with no pressure. Wish all my leases were like this one!

I had the best experience with the guys at mazda. Charlie made buying a car so easy and painless. Couldn't thank everyone who helped in the process enough.

After dealing with Mazda of Wantagh will never go back to Toyota again, experience was great, staff was too the point, quick, curtious. Victor and Kenneth were a pleasure to work with.Mazda puts Toyota to shame, all the Extras Mazdas gives as a basic package either Toyota does not carry or they charge extra for.I found a new home in Mazda of Wantagh and will use them going foward as long as I can.

A 2017 Mazda 6 is the third Mazda we leased from Wantagh Mazda. Our salesman is Victor Liantonio. He is the reason we keep coming back to Mazda. We could have leased a Honda Accord for slightly less money but it is truly a pleasure dealing with someone as nice as Victor. I don't think anyone in the right mind relishes the car buying experience but Victor makes it as painless as possible. I would recommend Victor to anyone who is looking for a fair deal. He's a real professional and a real gentleman.

What a pleasure it was to do business with such professionals. That is why I returned to purchase my second vehicle from Wantagh Mazda, and why I will probably do so in the future.

I started shopping for cars like 3 weeks ago going from dealer to dealer and hating all my interactions with the sales people. They were all pushy and at some points rude! When I arrived at Wantagh Mazda I looked around and then a salesman (Josh Pena) came over and asked if I needed help. He then sat me down and listened to everything I was looking for and helped me explore options like pre owned vs new. He then took me to see one of each and while looking talked through everything like cost, features, warranty, and even colors! Then the test drive was unlike any one I have taken before cause you go alone to have a more "intimate" experience. It was great to not have the pressure of a stranger in the car with you judging your driving. I had a lot of questions and Josh was very patient and answered all my questions and more. It took me 3 visits before I committed cause I was so nervous it was my first new car. He made sure the process was easy and that I understood everything! It was the best costumer service I have had in a very long time!! If you need a car this is the place to go and be sure to ask for Josh he is fantastic but the rest of the staff is just as great!! Can't go wrong!!

We visited this dealership because our son had such a great experience purchasing a Mazda 3 at a great price from Victor. We had leased from Toyota for years, but decided to look into a Mazda CX-5. We were very impressed with Victor and Phil at the dealership, who were both honest and friendly. They made the experience easy and stress-free, as well as giving us a great deal. We will definitely be returning to Wantagh Mazda and highly recommended them to anyone looking for a car.

This was without a doubt the best place to have purchased a new car, Josh was thorough and definitely did amazing in giving me the best deal. Very patient in working with my budget, I could have not asked for a better experience!

I bought my car brand new from Wantagh Mazda over three years ago. The sales team was kind and helpful, and they did not try in any way to upsell me or force me into using their financing. It's nice to work with a dealership and not feel like you're getting the run-around. They had my car ready two days later with plates and registration all set up for me. Truly top-notch. As for their service it is just as superb. Their prices are reasonable, they are honest with their work, and they are very knowledgeable about the vehicles they service. They performed software updates to my car even at 90k+ miles at no charge. It's things like this that keep me coming back to Wantagh Mazda for service rather than going to a quick lube place or a different Mazda dealership. Wantagh's attention to detail and respect for their customers is second to none. I couldn't recommend a better group of people.

I went to Wantagh Mazda with my daughter last year because it is a family run business. She got the car she wanted at a great price with no hassles. So it was a no brainer to return to the dealership when I wanted a car this year! I worked with Josh (and Phil) and it was a no hassle stress free and pleasant experience. Josh is knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. He treated me with respect and when it came to the price I got a price that was the price - NO let's start high and see what she'll pay - the way so many car dealers do. When I picked up the car Josh went over everything with me and spent as much time as I needed. I got the car I wanted, a Mazda 3, in the color I wanted, at a price I wanted. And, by the way, I live in Brooklyn and can tell you that it is well worth the trip to go to Wantagh Mazda!

I had a great experience at Mazda, when I walked in my husband and I met Victor and we liked him right away. He wasn't pushy he let me look at the car I told him why I wanted a Mazda and he let me drive one right away. This man is so sweet and kind and funny and great to talk to. He was like family. And I love my new car!!!

I bought Mazda 3 hatchback this past weekend and talked with Dave and Phil. They were both great! Phil negotiated a great deal with me, and they both treated me with respect and consideration. I did my homework so I know that I got a very good deal. Highly recommended.

I have leased & purchased many cars From Audi to Mercedes & I have to say these guys are top notch here- they made turning in my MB lease & purchasing a car thru their group a breeze.... Josh Pena is a pro & took care of everything was the easiest experience Iv e had at a dealership to date. The sales manager Phillip was also very friendly & accommodating. This is a family run business auto dealership I highly recommend these guys don't judge a book by its cover these guys are the real deal & no-nonsense thanks again!

I went to Wantagh Mazda with my elderly dad to help him purchase a car. Our sales Consultant Victor Liantonio was friendly, amazingly helpful and very patient. Also sales manager Joe Steller was very helpful throughout the entire process . I highly recommend using Victor Liantonio at Wantagh Mazda if you are looking to purchase a car and with no pressure and hassles and get a great & fair price.

I HAVE PURCHASED THREE VEHICLES FROM VICTOR AND IT JUST GETS EASIER AND EASIER. I WAS IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH IN 30 MINUTES AND PURCHASED A 2016 MAZDA 3 FOR MY TWINS. VICTOR MAD IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO SURPRISE THEM FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY BY HAVING THE CAR READY TO GO WITH IN 24 HOURS OF THE PURCHASE. HE IS AN AMAZING SALESMAN AND VERY SWEET MAN TO WORK WITH. LAURA P.

I visited Wantagh Mazda for a 2016 mazda 6 lease with tech package. After a couple visits of learning more about the car and prices i was very excited to get the car. Unfortunately they couldnt find one in the area for me so i was getting nervous. But Victor and Phil kept looking every day for me and finally found the car i wanted. They were both VERY personable and down to earth. there was no b.s. like other dealerships out there and gave me all info straight up. I look forward to being with wantagh mazda for this lease and other leases to come. Definitely recommend them.

I would recommend Wantaugh Mazda to anyone looking for a new car! We worked with Phil and he was very professional and got everything done for us. He was friendly and responsive to all of our questions. The whole process was smooth and we will definitely come back!

My first lease experience went over extremely smoothly with Josh Pena. He was extremely helpful and did his best to give me the most affordable deal I could hope for. Everyone was very polite and there was very little pressure. I look forward to going back to buyout the vehicle after the lease runs out!

Victor Liantonio did an amazing job helping me get a car. He was extremely helpful, knowledgable and friendly. He made my visit a memorable one and I will definitely refer him to my friends and family!!! I love Wantagh Mazda!!!!

Our second lease experience from Wantagh Mazda was just as god as the first! Absolutely zero pressure, they just want to help you find the best car for you. Victor is a down to earth friendly salesman, who has become a good friend to my wife and I. We have referred many family and friends there already. As long as Mazda keeps producing quality vehicles, there is no other dealership I will go to besides Wantagh Mazda, and no other salesperson I will go to besides Victor...see you in 3 years!

Our experience with Wantagh Mazda was perfect. Joe Bonavita was professional, super well-informed, and did a great job managing our expectations and questions. Additionally, the financing process was smooth and painless, with absolutely no "last-minute" surprises. Highly recommend this dealership and working with Joe!

I was greeted at the door by Dave and his wonderful english accent. He was a pleasure to deal with from the moment i arrived at Wantagh Mazda.. I knew that i wanted the CX-5 and Dave was beyond knowledgeable about the car and went into great detail about the benefits of the car. I wanted Black with a black interior and Dave was more then helpful in getting me what my initial pick was. He also suggest I take a look at the sand interior and i'm SO glad he made that suggestion because i absolutely loved it and wound up picking that car over the black on black. Not only was David a wonderful help but so was Joe in the front. He made the transition of my trade in flawless. I was happy to learn that these two men were both employees at this location for quite some time and it shows consumers they back what they are selling. The family owned business at this location was a driving point in picking Wantagh over other Mazda locations. If you are thinking of a Mazda, please go to Wantagh, the staff was so helpful even on a friday night when everyone just wants the weekend to happen. Thank you again Dave and Joe, you both were so helpful and made the stressful job of buying a car, stress free. :)

Was really happy with my salesman. Victor didn't push anything extra and was not out to sell me the car that day, which I truly appreciated. When I finally did make the purchase, I was able to meet some of the other salesman and all of them were friendly and helpful. It is a small place, but they had everything I wanted and it felt very family oriented. Definitely recommend this place and Victor.

Young BUYERS! Pick this guy! He has that fatherly like vibe and will tell you what is needed and what is not needed. You just need to tell him what are your wants and he will give you a deal that no other Mazda Dealer will do to you. Reason, he will understand what type of expenses you are currently dealing with and he will met you in the middle OR even to your expectations. Expenses like, COLLEGE DEBT (Struggle IS REAL) that are killing you because you went to Ivy-League for a medical degree or engineering degree. I just graduated undergrad and told him the amount of expenses I pay monthly and on top of that the amount of rent i have to pay. He understands and he will do what he can to meet your requirements. I recommend this guy and I recommend CX3 Because it is DOPE. :) -RE

This was my 2nd time buying/leasing with this dealership. The sales people are not overly pushy and I felt at ease viewing the models and making my decision. As I am not very used to the car purchasing experience, I felt comfortable asking all of my questions and everything was answered carefully and honestly. I did some research before trading in my previous vehicle and found that their offer was in line with my expectations.

Victor and the guys at Wantagh Mazda took extremely good care of me from the moment I called in the morning inquiring about a car to that afternoon when I left a deposit. They did everything they could to accommodate what I was asking for and more. Will be recommending anyone looking for a Mazda to go see them.

I just leased my first Mazda and the process could not have been more seamless without Victor! Down to earth and a genuinely nice guy, he helped me get the exact car I wanted (and more) at a great deal. I've already recommended the dealership and Victor to my friend, and would to anybody else looking for a Mazda! Thanks again!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We have been customers of theirs for 14 years and just leased our 3rd car from them. Victor has been our sales rep fir the past two deals and I cannot say enough good things about him. He treats us like we are part of his family or old friends every time we see him. He is so easy to talk to, so down to earth and will take away any negative you have against car salesmen. He tries to get you the best deal possible and make you happy any way he can. The dealership itself is full of nice people who offer you donuts and coffee and even lunch one day when we came by including wraps, pasta salad etc. my two kids ran around the place jumping in and out of cars and not only did they never appear to be slightly annoyed by them, they would engage them and play around with them while they were there. Not to mention the car we got is also fantastic. Look no further for your next car and do yourself a favor and visit victor at wantagh Mazda. I promise you will not regret it!

This is our tenth Mazda! The Wantagh dealership does not disappoint. They take care of us as if we were family.... and, in fact, we do feel a part of the "Wantagh Mazda Family!" Phil and Kenny make sure every detail is covered. For the first time, we had the pleasure of dealing with Joe and we are glad to welcome him to our Mazda circle. Thank you so much for the smooth rides.

I had a intermittent problem with my rear hatch lock. i had to go to the dealer a few times, due to problem did not always happen. Finally the techs were able to diagnose problem and fixed it under warranty. even though i had now driven above 36k. i now trust them with my car and have them do my service work.

Victor is a godsend among sales professionals. He recently helped my girlfriend, her father, and me purchase a brand new 2016 CX-9. This was the most hassle-free, stress-free, gimmick-free car buying experience i've ever had. Victor gave me a straightforward price over the phone. We showed up the next day and signed the paperwork almost immediately. There were no games. No bait and switch. No surprises. Victor, Phil, and the rest of the Wantagh Mazda crew are real, respectable, and honest folk. I've purchased Toyotas, Hondas, Acuras, Audis, and BMWs. Let me tell you, this Mazda purchase experience was by far the BEST. Call the dealer and ask for Victor. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU LIKE YOU ARE FAMILY. Best Regards, James.

This is a very fair dealer trying to give you the best price without haggling. They are very knowledgable of their product and all the salesmen and managers are very nice. this was actually the 4th Mazda we have gotten from this dealer.

My wife and I leased a new CX-5 from here. We were helped by David Chiari. He was very helpful and pleasant to work with. The entire process from start to finish was easy and painless. We ended up getting a great deal on the exact car we wanted. David was interested in what we wanted and was not the typical pushy or agressive dealer. Overall our experience was nothing short of great.

Went in looking for a good-looking, well-functioning, inexpensive vehicle - and that's what David Chiari helped me to do! I went to a few car dealerships before this, and they were all unpleasant experiences. Almost immediately after stepping into Wantagh Mazda, I was sure that I wanted to purchase one of their vehicles; after a few days of test-driving, David helped me come to the conclusion that the 2016 Mazda3i GT was the car for me. Overall it was a simple and fun process.

I was leasing a car for my son who's a full time college student and I found this experience with David actually a pleasurable one. No pressure, no games, no hassles. I've had some bad experiences in the past and therefore I'm very skeptical, but with David I felt very comfortable. I can't wait until my Nissan lease is up so I can get myself a nice little Mazda.

Wantagh Mazda, we can't thank you enough for all your help with our new CX-9. We love the car, and couldn't be more pleased with the buying experience at your dealership. Jonathan on the sales team was a professional from start to finish. He took his time, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. But Phil the sales manager was the real anomaly. We needed a little extra help because of timing with our lease-end on our previous CX-5 and the impending birth of our 2nd child. Phil treated us like family. He went above and beyond, making a stressful situation 100% stress free. His primary concern was making sure everything worked out perfectly for us. And like you read in many of the reviews on this dealership, we had no pressure and no haggling just fair pricing right out of the gate. Phil, we really can't thank you enough for everything. Your honesty, compassion, and professionalism is unlike anything we've seen at a car dealership before. We're not buying another car again unless Phil is inking the deal. Great job by all at Wantagh Mazda!

David Peter Chiari is the best salesman. He can sell ice to penguin. He explain everything to me very clear and so I was able to understand. Gentleman is the best way to describe him. He should be instantly promoted to Mr Mazda. And he should also get a 1000% raise. I hope he sees this and he knows that me and my fiance are very happy with our experience at wantagh Mazda. And also remind him to watch out for clean glass it could be any where

I did a lot of online research and made several inquiries for different brands, not just Mazda. I did not want a sales pitch, I wanted answers to questions by email. Everyone else wanted to get me on the phone, which I did not have time for during the weekday. Joseph Bonavita was one of only two people who responded with actual answers, without hassle. The answers were so complete, I didn't bother to call, I just scheduled an appointment and my spouse and I went to look at the cars. Joe's no rush demeanor, accommodating style and well explained financing (all the better with Mazda's wonderful 0%) is what convinced us. The only uncertainty we had at that point was which color to Choose~ Even to the end, when we picked up the car, we sat in there while he explained how to use all the features, which was a first for me. Thank you for making the purchasing experience so easy and pleasant. As long as we drive Mazdas, I will certainly be calling on Joe and will be recommending him to anyone who is in the market. Thank you!

The environment was very friendly and no pressure. The staff was curtious and attentive, even without a test drive appointment. I don't get a lot of holidays at my job, so I appreciate that Wantagh Mazda closes on holidays so their employees get to spend time with their families. Victor and Phil made us feel like family.Wantagh Mazda! Wantagh Mazda! Wantagh Mazda!

We had a fantastic and unique (in a very positive way) buying experience working with Joe Bonavita at Wantagh Mazda. We have been so happy with our 2 Mazda CX-5s (originally traded out of BMWs to Mazda) that we went shopping for a 3rd Mazda. We read great things about Wantagh Mazda's family owned business approach to selling cars, and decided to stop in for a look. The location is very convenient - right off of the Wantagh Parkway on Sunrise Highway. Upon entering the showroom, Joe Bonavita greeted us immediately with a friendly smile. Despite the ruckus that we brought with us into the dealership (i.e. 4 kids ranging from ages 2 to 4), Joe was extremely patient, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable in explaining the available vehicles and incentive programs. In stark contrast to the high pressure, game filled sales approach that is so common at other car dealerships, our experience with Joe and Wantagh Mazda was very pleasant, and relaxed with ZERO sales pressure. Joe presented to us a very straightforward and very attractive lease deal for a new CX-5. When we asked if there was any additional wiggle room in the quote, Joe assured us that he and his manager always seek to present their customers with the best deal possible off the bat to earn their business, rather than waste time via a let me ask my manager back and forth sales approach. He asked us to take as much time as we needed to think about the deal, and even gave us a written detailed quote that we could review and compare with other dealers. Joe let us leave the dealership without any hassle or trouble, with the written deal in hand. To our surprise, in the days following our visit to the showroom, we were not harassed by any bus dev or inside salespeople trying to pressure us to return. In addition, after sanity checking Joe's deal vs. several other dealers, we learned that we were, indeed, being given a fantastic deal (other dealers even said - "take the deal, and get me one too"). We happily returned to Wantagh Mazda where Joe and his manager honored the written deal in its entirety, with no questions asked, no bait and switch nonsense / surprises, and no attempts to upsell us on services / parts / warranties that we did not want. In summary, the combination of an amazing deal along with the honesty, straightforwardness, and integrity of Joe and his team made us very happy customers. We look forward to returning to Wantagh Mazda for our future vehicle needs. We would highly recommend that anyone in the market for a Mazda visit Wantagh Mazda and ask for Joe Bonavita.

Thinking about a Mazda? Think no more and get to Wantagh Mazda. I'm on my third lease through Wantagh Mazda and each time Victor Liantonio made the process painless. He truly makes leasing or purchasing a car a pleasure! No pressure, no fuss, just outstanding customer service to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.

I've dealt with other Mazda dealerships in the past and Wantagh Mazda by far was the easiest to deal with. I knew what I wanted going in and was pleasantly surprised to see how helpful the staff was. The owner of the facility made a point of saying hello and thanking me for my business. To me, having a family owned and operated facility is important because they want to know how everything is run. Victor was easy to do business with, not pushy and very helpful. My wife's lease is due in a few months and I know exactly where I'm going!

We had already decided on a Mazda for my sons first car! Unfortunately we were not thrilled with the First Mazda Dealership we went to!! My daughter decided to come to Wantagh because she heard great thing about them!! They lived up to their reputation!! Our salesman was Charles and I would highly recommend him!!! I also spoke with Phil and Kenny who were both very helpful!!! They helped make my sons first brand new car an amazing experience and I can't thank them enough!!!

David advocated for us knowing that we had a budget and a time constraint. We were able to take the vehicle that day. Although, it did take a few hours for the car to be ready, he kept us updated and accommodated us.

Our salesperson, Joe Bonavita, made our purchase experience very pleasant. He didn't put any pressure at all on us. He was honest, trustworthy, fair and thorough. Couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience and the car.

My family has been coming to this dealership and worked with Victor L for the last 2 Mazdas we leased. And so, to lease my first Mazda we naturally came back. Victor L has always been great with my folks. He welcomed my folks back and patiently let us view the new models. After sitting in a Mazda 3 in the showroom Victor suggested for us to test drive one. We got to experience the car and all its neat features on the Wantagh Parkway. When it came time to settle on the new lease, Victor was on top of all the paperwork. He was upfront with all the costs and even went out of his way to make sure I have all the papers I need to close on my old lease. I got the car and picked it up four days later. Great experience and will go back again for my next Mazda!

Victor L made my car buying experience a pleasure. He remembered that I wanted a manual transmission and when we went in to test drive he immediately said "I have your car" He took us to a certified preowned mazda which I bought. Thanks Victor

Joe Bonavita was very knowledgeable and professional. Love, love, love our new CX-5. He knows the vehicle inside and out and could not have been more helpful.

Wantagh Mazda was nothing but a pleasure to work with. Joe B and his team are great! There is no one hassling you, they want you to feel comfortable. No pressure! Would highly recommend.

I had a Mazda 6 rental for two weeks and I feel in love with it. My husband and I went to visit Wantagh Mazda and a very nice gentleman Jonathan lakritz gave us a tour of the different models and features. We fell in love with the CX5 I touring and in less than 24 hours it was ours. One of the things that I noticed about this particular dealership was the fact that the sales persons do not try to sell you anything extra that ultimately you may never even use. I was surprise at that because I have been dealing with many sales persons and that is one of the first things you find them doing. Jonathan was just amazing and I hope he enjoys his two days off.

We've been a Wantagh Mazda customer since 2013 when we purchased 2 cars from Wantagh Mazda within 2 months. We've always had these cars serviced at Wantagh Mazda and the work performed has always been excellent. When we were in the market for another Mazda, there was no question which dealership we would visit.When looking at other brands, it seems that the other dealers are trying to get the most out of you but at Wantagh Mazda, they want to get you the best deal, right from the start of the process.We just took delivery of our 3rd Mazda from Wantagh Mazda and although there was a little miscommunication, Wantagh Mazda went the distance and made sure that we were a satisfied customer.If you're looking for a very satisfying car buying/leasing experience, Wantagh Mazda is the place to go.

I remember the commercials from my youth. I was a Chevrolet/Ford owner since Chevy closed I was left with ford.Since I dont like to travel to service my vehicles I wanted a nearby dealership I live in Seaford. The class vehicle I was looking for; Ford had their tin can version the EscapeJeep and Dodge just cheap.I am no stranger to buying cars. From the first greeting to the salesman listen to my needs made the entire process a joy.Kenny involvement finished the process to the greatest car buying experience.The solid feel and pleasurable ride winter, spring, summer and fall of my Cx-5 is always serviced to my expectations by Jim and Gary; they listens to my needs and the team of mechanics who go above and beyond to keeping my Cx-5 fit.I am on my second Cx-5 cant wait to my third !!!!!!!I recommend Mazda and Kenny to all so they too canZoom ZoomPhil

Most dealerships I've been to employ vultures, Wantagh Mazda is different. I went here on a Friday after work. I got there around 6:30pm. I went there with an attorney because 1 she's my friend, 2 because I don't know how to negotiate. We were greeted by Jonathan. Very welcoming and friendly. He let us test drive the car on our own. We went on the "scenic" test drive on on Wantagh parkway down to the roundabout and all that where I was really able to get a feel for the car.So anyways, after the test drive there was very little negotiations. And that's because they are different than other dealerships. I felt like it only took 5 minutes from when we came back from test driving to coming to an agreement. They gave me an honest, bottom dollar offer that even my attorney friend was shocked about. It was a great deal.Now I drive a great, brand new car and it doesn't even break bank.

I was in the market for a Mazda and had gone to my local dealer in Queens that did not a good experience. I even came close to changing my mind and going with another make but I decided to give another Mazda dealer a shot.I walked in about an hour before they closed and was greeted by Jonathan who was friendly and patient. I've walked in to other dealers close to closing time and have been ignored but I felt very welcomed here. I got set up for a road test and was given permission to go alone or to be accompanied. I was taken on the highway where I got a chance to really feel the car. We came back and discussed numbers. They were very willing to meet me around my budget and worked hard to give me every possible discount they could.I want to thank everyone at Wantagh Mazda , Jonathan , Phillip and Kenny for making my first lease experience a great one. I highly recommended you to come visit them.

This will be a long review so let me say at the top that leasing from the guys at Wantagh Mazda was the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had !!! Jonathan, Phil and Kenny I thank you. I was driving a 2001 Toyota with 135,000 miles on it, it looked like xxxx but I avoided replacing it because I dreaded the "car buying game". My neighbor told me about his wonderful experience at Wantagh Mazda. As a guy with over 40 years of sales experience I was still skeptical!I take the plunge and walk into Wantagh Mazda. I am greeted by Jonathan Lakritz. We talk, I tell him what I want. He is very well informed and has a nice way about himself. He informs me of all the specs and options. I make my selection, a Mazda 3. I tense up figuring now the battle royale begins.Jonathan and Phil Puleo go over the numbers and present me a price. Everything I asked for is included and the price is within 3% of what I expected. Amazing. Where is the catch? While Jonathan and Phil did their thing with the numbers Kenny Davis the Business Manager came over and introduced himself. Aha I say, Jonathan and Phil are the nice guys, Kenny must be the Shark.I decide to lease the vehicle and the next step is to sit down with Kenny. Let me say here that 4 years ago, when getting a car from a competitor, I walked out of the Business Manager's office because of I thought he was crook. I am ready for Kenny!Kenny goes over everything with me in great detail, explains my options, convinces me it would be wise to buy the "alloy wheel package". I am waiting for the fun to start, waiting for the SHARK tactics to come out. Kenny puts the forms for signature in front of me..... I peruse them intently looking for the catch that I know is coming. Surprise, everything is just the way they said it would be! With that Kenny thanks me for leasing a car from Wantagh Mazda and says if I have any issues I should call him or anyone else on the team.I sit there and smile. I am 64 years old and this is not my first car. Did I just lease a car from a dealer without a fight? YES I DID. I should mention now that my last 3 cars came from the same major Mazda competitor. I ddn't go back to them this time because each subsequent transaction became more and more unpleasant. When a business talks about their "FAMILY" approach I always think it's a little corny and just a marketing ploy. Not anymore. The Mazda guys convinced I was wrong, they treat you like family. I will never go to another dealer again. Thank you to all involved

Just got my second Mazda 3 from Wantgah Mazda, was nearing the end of my first lease and went in to see if there was anything they could do to help me out with getting a new lease. Everyone at the dealership was incredibly friendly and did everything they could to make getting a new car easy and fluid. They did an amazing job at helping me out with the pricing and getting me out of my first lease, with no sales gimmicks or pressure either. They're straight forward to the point and do anything they can to get you the best deal. This is my second time getting a car from there and both times have been a very pleasurable experience.

I know the top- notch service department of Wantagh Mazda because we own Mazda's...andI do not trust the other dealership I purchased from. The integrity of Wantagh Mazda is famous,so coming here to purchase a pre-owned SUV was a no-brainer.Victor Liantonio is a special man...low key, humble, smart. He respected my "wish list" and never pressured me to "indulge"...yet he always took the time to explain the rationale behind some other options I had not yet considered. He was patient...kept me informed during the waiting process...and found the PERFECT car match for me.I want to also acknowledge the help from Joe Stella, who worked with me and Victor toget the best possible trade-in allowance for my much-loved Mazda 6.Please let me stress that, once I decided to purchase another Mazda, I did not dealer-hop.I told Victor up-front that I trusted Wantagh Mazda...and especially him. And I KNOW I got the best car...at the best price!

Even after seeing the great reviews of Wantagh Mazda on this site and others, I was skeptical. I walked in hoping to negotiate a lease on a CX-5, expecting the stereotypical car buying experience. You know, the "hard sell" with the salesman pulling the ol' "I have to ask my manager" trick four times before finally giving you a reasonable price. This was far from that.Jonathan greeted us and was patient, helpful and friendly throughout the process. He answered all of our questions and explained our options clearly. After I told him what we were looking for, he quoted us a very fair price -- the first time. After we agreed to the deal, we met the gregarious finance guy Kenny. I warned my wife, "This is where they try to trick you into buying all the extras." But outside of a modest push for a tire package, which Jonathan had already warned us was coming, there was none of that. My wife and I were stunned by how simple it all was. No nonsense, no pushy sales tactics. Exactly what a car buying experience should be!Thanks to Jonathan and to the management at Wantagh Mazda for a surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable experience.

This is a family run business and it shows in every level of detail. Everyone was courteous, respectful and very helpful. My salesperson was Victor and he was fantastic. He guided me through selecting, test driving and purchasing my car with knowledgeable help and no pressure whatsoever.By the end of this experience, I felt like I got the best car, at the best price from my best friend.

First time we've leased a vehicle, and the process could not have been made easier. Dave and Phil were honest, interested in our questions and concerns, and made us feel like human beings, which is certainly not the typical dealer approach. If you want to buy or lease a vehicle from "real" people, rather than the typical con artists in this field, i'd strongly recommend Wantagh Mazda.

Very smooth and professionally run service center from the woman at the counter to the service manager!I always get treated like a gentleman and my car comes out right the first time! And the price of the repairs I did is just as reasonable as the local service center Plus I get genuine Mazda parts , The waiting area is very clean, I like the fact they have complementary coffee, comfy chairs and a TV while I wait, and I got a loaner car no problem so I could take my kid to the doctor!, I live locally so I will be a customer for life here! Thank you Wantagh mazda Service!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Wantagh Mazda! They are so different than any other car dealership. From the moment you walk in, you are warmly greeted, offered coffee & donuts and given the chance to look around on your own. You are able to test drive, discuss and think everything over with no pressure. They are extremely courteous and upfront when going over the pricing, features etc. There is no back & forth, it is what it is, it doesn't go up and down a million times while you're sitting there. My sales person Marino (and the Managers there) were so helpful to make sure I was getting the car I truly wanted at a price I was comfortable with. When I went to pick up my car, Marino thoroughly went over all the features in the car and made sure I was comfortable to drive off the lot. They really look out for your best interests and will not play any games. They value your time and understand leasing/purchasing a car is a big decision.

The solid positive reviews in all media led me the Mazda CX-5 2016.5 Touring AND Mazda Wantagh dealership. Although set on the CX-5 I was soon intrigued and test driving the CX3 and CX-3... also great driving."Certified Master Sales Consultant" David Chiari (who has been with Wantagh Mazda over 30 yrs.) had me at Hello... Do you want to take (Cx-5) for a test drive. Thought it might be too much "car" for me having driven 4dr. sedan for 14yrs... but after few test drives I was hooked. Love the "push of a button" sport mode feature for quick acceleration whenever you need an extra kick.Considered a small SUV, the CX-5 roomy cargo space fits my racing bike w/o taking wheel off for quick & easy safe access. Very pleased with overall experience and believe I got a fair price for my Subaru trade-in. No pressure no hassle sales team and efficient exclusive Mazda Dealership!!

I had both a family member and a neighbor recommend Wantagh Mazda, and specifically David Chiari. They were right. David was a most pleasant, professional and reliable person to deal with. I ordered the car on a Monday afternoon and had it a few days later. No glitches. No issues or glitches with financing or other paperwork. Smooth sailing and a nice experience all the way through.

Car buying process with John was quick and easy and stress free. All the other dealers offer me a test drive which is very short around a few blocks. I was surprised that John can trust me with the vehicle that he let me test drive alone, but since I didn't know the area I insist he join me for the test drive. The route that John show me which I consider a real test drive instead of going around a few block because I was able to fully test the ability of the vehicle that I wanted. John was very professional in explaining every detail about my new purchased vehicle and went over basically all the functions that the car offered. He and Kenneth (the financial guy) didn't try to sell me products that I don't need which made it a stress free purchased. On the other hand, it may have been better if Mazda offer more room for negotiation. Overall this place is outstanding!

I purchased my first Mazda in 2005 from Wantagh Mazda and I loved my Tribute. When I needed a new car in 2013 I was disappointed Mazda was not making the Tribute any more so I leased a Honda CRV. I regretted that decision almost immediately. I could not wait for the lease to end so I could return to Mazda. I picked up my 2016.5 CX5 on Monday and I couldn't be happier. There is just something about driving a Mazda, I cant explain it but I can feel it. Working with the staff at Wantagh Mazda is an absolute pleasure. There really is no pressure. I was treated like family. Every aspect of the transaction went smoothly under the watchful eye of Victor. I HIGHLY recommend Wantagh Mazda and have no doubt when this lease is up I will be right back at their showroom for my next Mazda.

I love buying a new car, but hate it at the same time. Something about the stress of haggling takes away from the joy of getting a new car. Well for the first time I can say we truly enjoyed the process. The staff and management at Wantagh Mazda made our experience simple and stress free. They gave us a great deal on our CX5 and we are very happy with our decision to buy from them. This car was for my fiance and I will be back for myself in the near future. Thanks guys!

I had an issue with one of my tires and a long road trip coming up in less than 24 hours. I didn't have time to make a formal appointment with this unexpected issue so they accommodated me no questions asked and had me on my way so I could travel to a wedding on time. This is a dealer and location that cares about you!

As someone who truly hates the car buying process, I have to say that it was extremely refreshing to work with a dealer and salesman in Victor who was honest, not at all pushy and who had a calming demeanor that made me feel comfortable. I walked out very happy with the price I got for a new Mazda 6. The overall dealership also was very accommodating in getting me through the process quickly when I had to leave for another Saturday appointment. Interestingly, this family-owned business also is closed on Sundays so that employees can have quality time with their families. To be closed half the weekend speaks to the type of dealership this is (i.e., not just about the bottom line and squeezing every last nickel out of customers), and that made me want to support it as well.

It was a bonus to learn about Wantagh Mazdas relationship with The North Shore Animal League since I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. Victor was wonderful to work with. Everything he did was honest, straightforward with no pressure. He lived up to my expectations, right through to the delivery of my shiny, new, black CX-5 Grand Touring.. Victor even made sure I was comfortable driving out of the lot onto Sunrise highway!

I always leave confident that I have gotten the best deal possible and that I can always call with any question or problem.

Delivery was done by Ken and Jonathan. They were ready when we got there and the paperwork was completed in minutes. No upselling or any of that usual car dealership nonsense. Jonathan sat with my son for as long as he needed to learn everything about the car and feel comfortable. Highly recommend!!

Ist service free? Oh,that free service is just an oil change with regular oil. The synthetic oil is extra. Sorry, no tire rotation. Not part of the free 1st service! If I wanted the free 1st service, I would need to pay an additional upcharge of $49.00. After an unhappy exchange, Service Advisor, Jim, agreed to full synthetic oil. Not a great 1st experience with my free 1st service.

Absolutely amazing experience at Wantagh Mazda! The entire team are extremely kind, friendly and helpful. This is my second car from Wantagh Mazda in about a three month period. I had leased (and got a fantastic deal) on a new Mazda CX5 at the beginning of January and unfortunately got into an accident which wrote off my car. Victor, Kenny, Joe and Vin made it a priority to get me back into another car without any headache or issue. Customer service and customer relationships are extremely important to Vin and his team as I have had the opportunity to experience on two occasions now. I have bought Mazdas from other locations on Long Island and I can say without question these other dealerships do not compare.

I brought my Mazda 6 in to have a burned out headlight repaired. I was advised that both of my rear brake lights were also burned out. I had no knowledge of this problem. Of course I had those repaired as well. I am so grateful that this hazardous problem was noticed as a result of the thorough and high quality work at Wantagh Mazda. Jim and Gary along with all of the service department personnel are so committed to customer satisfaction and professionalism! Thanks so much!

The service group at the Wantagh location are exceptional. Always very professional and honest (which is rare in the business). I had gone to see them, due to a recall on a particular steering part. They then took my car (CX9) for a drive and realized that the car would jerk a bit when stopping. I did not say anything when i first went to them to see if they would notice it; and they did. It turned out to be my front rotors that were shot. They came to me and told me that only the rotors should be replaced. They could have easily said the breaks were shot as well, but they did not.That is why i go to them.

Leasing my 6th car with Victor Liantonio. Only car salesman I trust. He's one of the best. Never gives you the run around, always up front and honest.

I recently switched from leasing a Honda CR-V to leasing a new CX-5. As with any new car there is always something new that one dealer does differently that the other. I'm still getting used to these, but so far I've noticed that: 1) The pickup in my Mazda is peppier and there when you need it most. 2) Road noise is much quieter. 3) The seats are more comfortable. 4) The drivers side feels roomier. 5) My Honda's Bluetooth was terrible and would always be problematic, whereas the Bluetooth on the Mazda hasn't been a problem. 6) The voice commands are taking some time to get used to: my Honda allowed for me to store pre-recorded "Call Home" and worked like a charm, but with the Mazda, there are a few more steps that seem to take longer.7) The HD stereo sounds great and is easy to navigate using "Favorite settings".8) With the push button door open option, I don't have to remove the keys from my pocket and can get out of the cold fast.9) Handles great in the snow (AWD). Overall, so far, the car is more enjoyable to drive. My Sales team were very knowledgeable and assisted me with getting the features I wanted. They even took care of getting my former leased vehicle to a drop off location out on the Island. I would strongly recommend checking this dealer out if you are considering a Mazda.

No high pressure here. Just honest give and take, good value, and great cars. The three times I have leased cars from Phil Puleo, I have received what I wanted at a fair price that I could afford. Gary Gavin of the Service Department is always giving me discounts to be competitive. When I picked up my new CX-5, Joe Bonavito thoroughly went over each feature and quickly had me on my way to work. Once again a pleasant non threating experience all around. Best car dealership I have ever dealt with.

Leasing made easy. Victor Liantonio is a great salesman. This is the second Mazda 6 I am leasing through Victor and my recent experience was as great as my first with Victor 3 years ago.

This is my second car I leased with Mazda. I had Mazda 3 hatchback and truly had no problems with it. Victor Liantonio was the salesman that helped me back in 2012. I have never had such a great experience going into a dealership and feeling a true honesty with everyone there. I just turned in my lease and released the new Mazda 3 CXR. I made sure to see Victor again! Such a lovely gentleman and really very helpful in helping me make the right decision . When picking up the new car Victor made sure to go over everything on how the car works without rushing me out of the dealership. The manager Phil was very polite and Phil and Victor both worked together on helping me get a car payment that would be within my budget. Also Kenny and Victor worked together speaking to my Insurance company on switching over the policy to the new car. Mazada dealership is very lucky to have these men on there team of selling such a great car!! I highly recommend this dealership , I only hope that when I turn my car in Victor will be there to help me lease my next car.. A huge Thank you to Victor for all his help and Kindness !!! Much thanks!! Lynne Allen

We were shopping for a CX-5 and went to Wantagh Mazda first as it was the closest to us in Baldwin. We walked into the showroom after looking at the CX-5's in the lot. We were greeted by the friendly sales staff who left us alone after we said we were just looking. This was a pleasant change from the usual car dealerships where you felt surrounded by sharks as soon as you entered. After a few minutes, we sat with Victor Liantonio and asked him questions about the CX-5. Victor worked with us through the leasing process, choosing options, and getting a good price for our trade in. We had intended to shop other dealers and for other car companies but Victor impressed us with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We closed the deal that same day.

It was a pleasure doing business with Victor. He was honest & answered all questions. There was no pressure. I would highly recommend somebody buying a new car to go to Wantaugh Mazda & see him. From the moment we walked into the dealership to when we drove the car off the lot was so smooth.Buying a New CX5 Touring was an amazing purchase.

The staff at Wantagh Mazda,especially Marino Gonzalez, made the entire car buying process ENJOYABLE. My wife needed a new car. Our first visit was met with. a NO pressure sales pitch. That guaranteed a second visit, which resulted in us happily purchasing a CX-5. Kenny got us financing, when our bank said no. We had one minor issue which was handled pleasantly and rectified immediately. We mostly dealt with Marino, but I think each employee at one point helped us or at least greeted us as we came in. My sister and a friend will be going to Wantagh Mazda in the near future due to our recommendation. All I can say is GO to Wantagh Mazda. You WILL be happy you did.

Recently leased 2016 CX 5 (third time working with Joe Bonavita). Fair on trade in of old car, very straight forward experience as has been my prior experience with Wantagh Mazda. On day we went to pick up the car, the wrong color was delivered but it was promptly taken care of. Extremely professional and will always recommend Joe and the guys at Wantagh Mazda.

This was my family's 3rd time purchasing a vehicle at Wantagh Mazda, and again we had a wonderful experience. The staff was courteous, helpful, and extremely willing to work within our schedule to make buying my CX-5 easy. We didn't feel pressured by the staff to make a decision quickly, and the managers were willing to work with us to get us the best deal for the best price. I will 100% be recommending this dealership to my family/friends in the future and hope we can do business with them all once again! Thank you again guys!

I leased my first car, a mazda 3 I 4 door sport. The sales person who helped with my transaction was Marino Gonzalez. He was very informative, upbeat, and thorough. I had a great experience here, and was very pleased with all of the information presented to me when I first came in. The test drive was very convenient and pleasant. I highly recommend this dealership, and more specifically, dealing with Marino.

I brought my 2012 Mazda 3 here for an oil and filter change. They took me right on time (I had a 9am appt.) and reminded me that my inspection was due that month and did I want to have it done right now. They completed the oil change and the inspection within an hour. They also told me upfront what the cost would be. I even had them change the battery in my remote car key. They are very nice and efficient and provide a very clean and pleasant waiting area. I already knew the sales division was top notch and I feel the same way about the service division. Would definitely come back again!

All the employees seemed to go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. I found what I wanted quickly. There was no pressure or "sales talk." Although the car I wanted was not in stock at this dealership, they found it for me right away -- before I left the office. I highly recommend.

When I came in to meet salesman Joe Bonavita, he was working with another customer. Everyone I met at the dealership while waiting for Joe came up to me and welcomed me with a handshake. A test drive of the 2016 CX 5 followed, with no one else except for my wife and I. I was told to take as long as we needed. Not my first new car, but the first test drive alone. Impressed. I love my new CX 5. It will be a month on Dec. 16. Thanks Joe and Kenny. Great to meet you.

We wanted to lease a CX-5 and chose Wantagh Mazda based on the great reviews online. We were not disappointed! Unlike other dealerships, the atmosphere when you walk in is calm and relaxed. There was no hard selling/pressure to buy. Phil and Jorge were friendly, professional and took the time to answer all our questions. Kenny was great as well. Every staff member we met was friendly. It definitely is the best dealership we've ever been to and we would recommend them to anyone!

After a previously painful leasing experience for my daughter one month prior to my turn, I explained the pain that I went through to my salesman Victor Liantonio, he said don't worry we don't do things that way here, he was right. I wound up getting a great deal at Wantagh Mazda and I can highly recommend them, thanks Victor.

Having recently had an awful experience leasing a car, doing business with Wantagh Mazda was a pleasure. They provided a lot of help and information without all the tacky sales pressure. The negotiation was fair, stress free and I got a great price for a Mazda 3 lease. Even got free pizza and donuts for Black Friday!! Overall nice team of people that make the process easy.

I was searching four my 4th Mazda 3. I had done some shopping in Bay Shore and met with a salesman there. I had been giving 3 prices after a bit of negotiating and still was not thrilled. I called Phil over at Wantagh and simply asked whats the best you can do after explaining my situation. He beat the price I was already given. After calling the salesman and explaining that he had been outbid and giving him one more chance, he still came up short. I can say that Phil was honest and straightfoward and less than a week without ever meeting in person, I was driving out in the car that I wanted at a price I was happy with.

I just received my Mazda 6 today from Wantagh Mazda and Joseph Bonavita made this purchase go as enjoyable as can be. I've had a few miserable experiences with salesmen at other dealerships and it's made me jaded but Joesph and the rest of his team has made me realize that buying a car can actually be gratifying. If you're in the market for a Mazda on Long Island you will not regret buying your cars from Wantagh Mazda.

I have purchased many vehicles over the years, both new and used. Without fail, the car purchasing experience is always a draining process. When we recently decided to purchase a pre-owned CX7, I donned my imaginary armor, and headed to Wantagh Mazda. Joseph Bonavito in sales, greeted me as a friend and showed me the car. He went over every detail of the car and even let me take the car for a ride alone - without him in the vehicle, As I rode off he said , "have a good time, I'll see you in an hour." We decided to purchase the car. There were some cosmetic issues and Joe made sure everything was taken care of before we picked it up. We mentioned that we would like a roof rack on the vehicle. With Phil the manager's help, they made that happen too, without any additional cost. Kenny was great to work with & he got us the low interest loan we had heard about. Within a week of purchase, I brought the car in for a minor bulb issue, and asked them to check the wiper blades as they appeared to be streaking the windshield. Apparently the windshield had some damage - the streaks were not removable. At Phil the manager's discretion, the windshield was replaced at no cost to me! I know that any other place would have said - sorry - it's your problem now. Gary in the service dept was also great. He went "over and above " & found us a driver side floor mat to replace the damaged one in the vehicle. Joe said, "We really want you to be happy" and I believe him. We are very happy with our vehicle and our experience at Wantagh Mazda was incredibly positive. I would not hesitate to send all my family and friends to this dealership in general and Joseph Bonavita in particular. In summary, Joe is a consummate professional, and an all-around pleasant fellow. While I was waiting for my vehicle to be serviced, I was sitting nearby Joe's desk. He was helping a woman with some information on a car. When she was leaving, I heard her say to Joe, "Thank you so much - you are awesome!" And that he is. Thank you Joe!

Now I have 2 other family members going to get cars from them.

He took care of everything, made it super simple, quick and zero surprises. Very honest, family run ownership and you can feel that difference the first time you walk through the door. I'm recommending the car, Mazda 6 Sport and this dealership to everyone! The car is awesome, everything about it, the handling, the pick up, the way the seat hugs you, super roomy, it's simply awesome.

Wantagh Mazda was excellent! Marino is very passionate about what he does and it shows in his professionalism and expertise. Basically, all I had to do was choose the vehicle and color and he took care of the rest. I will highly recommend him to my friends and family. Marino is the epitome of what a salesperson should be. In addition to Marino, I also had the pleasure to conduct business with Kenny, Wantagh Mazda's financial expert. Kenny fought hard for me to get the best rate available so that I was able to afford the vehicle I wanted. Thank you both Marino and Kenny for making my experience stress free. I visited many dealerships on Long Island looking for the best deal and hands down, Wantagh Mazda is superior to them all! Thank you again Marino and Kenny! I love my CX 5 AWD!

We met with Marino through an internet email, he was fast with his response, listened to our needs and within 30 min we had exactly what we requested, and not a penny more than our original quote. I had a terrible experience at a closer Mazda dealer, typical bait and switch, options and colors not what we wanted, much higher cost than was willing to pay, a salesman that runs to his manager and comes back with deal "too good to be true".. blah blah blah.. Needless to say we left without a vehicle, that's when I decided to give the online a try, 1st time, and Marino came through big time, within a day we were driving our CX5 exactly the way we wanted it, very simple and painless process..Thanks Marino and Wantagh Mazda

I buy a new car every few years and look forward to it. What I don't look forward to is the sale process. I am very anti-salesman in all purchases but none more so than car buying.So what a pleasant surprise this purchase was. I contacted Marino Gonzalez via internet, and explained exactly what I was looking for at the price I was looking for. He told me he would look around and let me know.Most communication was done with email, and a few phone calls for additional clarification. Once we had a deal I went down and found a very pressure free, comfortable experience.I highly recommend them for consideration on your next purchase.

I hadn't bought a new car since 1996, and really was not looking forward to the "car salesman" experience. I knew what I wanted and had decided the first sign of sales pressure I would be headed to another dealer. I was so pleasantly surprised when I went to Wantagh Mazda and met Marino Gonzalez. He is pleasant, polite, knows his inventory, and did not try to sell me anything I didn't want. Marino was comfortable to talk with, got my car, handled my insurance company when a minor mistake came up, and had me in my new car in less than three days. He has since made a courtesy call, and even scheduled my first service call. He is an asset to this dealer and I would recommend him highly to anyone. Plus, I absolutely love my new Mazda. Thanks Wantagh Mazda and a great big thanks to Marino.

I came to Wantagh Mazda last, after visiting a couple of other dealers that were much closer to me, knowing that Wantagh had the higher dealer ratings. Wantagh didn't disappoint. No gimmicks, no double talk, and no cliches about "what do I have to do to get you in this car today?" (I hate that!). This is a small dealership with big capabilities, family owned, and shoe-horned into a small building, but don't let appearances fool you. They offered me options to finance or lease, and explained the terms in language that was understandable. The warm, friendly, no pressure atmosphere seemed based on my perception that the individual salespeople themselves were under no pressure to sell - a great combination for a buyer. My deal was a little out of the usual in that it was for a new 2016 Miata, and I knew that since there is a limited inventory of this Model, there was no wiggle room on price regardless of whatever dealer I chose. Nevertheless, the lease deal from Wantagh was significantly better here than other dealers I visited, and it suited my intended usage of the car very well . Joe Bonavita became my contact after I wrote an email to the dealership, and he took me through the whole process with professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency. I told him I already knew a lot about the car, and I could tell he heard me because he didn't waste time explaining things that didn't need to be said, which is another sign of a great dealership. I highly recommend Joe and this dealership, for their attitude, value, and reputation.

With 105,000 miles, the car has been so well maintained, always at Wantagh Mazda, that I have had no costs beyond the standard service costs.

I recently received a recall notice for my 2011 pre-owned certified Mazda 3. I was also due for my first oil change. Even when I placed the call to make the appointment, it was quick and efficient. I was there at 9AM on 9/23/15 and I was on my way well before 10AM! Barely had time to finish my coffee! If I were to suggest a change or two, it would be that you need a little larger waiting room (almost every seat was taken) and there is really no place to park your car prior to service, so I just blocked the driveway. Oh, one more thing, I just got an email with a coupon for 10% off my next oil change. Nice! However, it expires in November and my next oil change isn't until February 2016!! Hope you send me another one closer to that date! Thanks for the great service.

Jimmy, Gary and the rest of the Service team are always at the top of their game! I have never had a bad experience bringing my car in for any type of service. Just recently, I had to drop off one of my tires so they could perform a warranty replacement for me. They were able to replace my tire within hours of dropping it off and they were able to fit me in on the same day to put it back on the car!You can never go wrong with the level of service you receive from Wantagh Mazda's Service Department! They will take care of you and your car like you are their family.Highly Recommended!-Nick Pitello

Kenny,victor and the rest of the staff are OUTSTANDING.I told them what I wanted and face them numbers and they made it happen. This has been the best car leading experience I have had in the last 8 cars that inleased.

This was the best car buying experience I've had in 20 years. I went in defensive and ready for the usual haggling but there was none of that. This is a small, family dealership that cares and shows it. They do not play games, care whether you are happy and do what they can to make sure that you are. They give you the "real" price from the get go. There was no "oh, I didn't realize you wanted floor mats, that's not included".

This was my first time shopping for a Mazda. Victor Liantonio did not pressure and made test driving extremely easy. The purchase step went just as smooth as the shopping step and pressure free.

The best no hassle low pressure buying experience I have had to date. No hidden tricks or typical car salesman games. Worked with Joe. The cx5 is great also.

Bought my second Mazda from them. It is such a pleasant experience , no body pressures you for extras Joe B. Is out in the open not in an office that your dealer comes in and out of.David was wonderful too, he tries to accommodate you . The service department is run extremely well but the waiting area should be updated

Dealing with Wantagh Mazda, and particularly Joe Bonavita and Kenny Davis was great. The employees were professional, helpful and friendly. They took the time to make sure the transaction went smoothly. You WON'T find any of those horror stories you usually read about when buying a new car or with the dealerships Wantagh Mazda is top notch. I highly recommend them.

I just leased a 2016 CX-5. A friend of mine had purchased the car from the Wantagh dealership and told me not to waste my time going anywhere else. The dealership is family owned and you can tell that they care about the employees and their families( they are closed on Sundays). Joe Bonavita worked with me and he made the whole experience quick and painless. I would recommend this dealership and just like my friend told me I would tell others not to waste time going anywhere else. I pretty much got everything I wanted for the price I was looking for. They did not play games and made me feel like I was the only person getting a car that day. Even the finance manager came over to shake my hand and congratulate me!

I just got the 2016 Mazda cx5 grand touring, and am extremely happy with it. Jorge, and Phil were extremely helpful at wantagh Mazda. They made me feel comfortable from the moment my husband and I walked through the door. They were very accommodating and didn't mess around. Anytime I've walked into a car dealership I've never felt that I can trust anything they were saying, but not with Phil and Jorge. If they said something, I trusted them, no bs. I had to wait 2-3 days for the color that I wanted, but it was worth the wait. I got the white with beige interior leather and it is extremely sharp. I can't say anything bad about wantagh Mazda, I'll def be referring them to anyone I talk to!

Picked up our new Mazda 6 in black last week. This dealership was terrific. They searched high and low to find the exact model we wanted. We were pleased with their professionalism and courtesy.I would recommend Wantagh Mazda highly and hope to continue to do business with them in the future!

This is our 4th Mazda purchased at Wantagh Mazda, and we would NEVER go anywhere else! We have also referred others who have made purchases there. Phil has always been amazing to deal with. No hassles, no hard sell, and absolutely no pressure to purchase higher end packages or extended warranties. Since Phil is now a sales manager, we worked with Joe who was wonderful, of course Phil was still very involved in the sale. Everyone who works there has been a pleasure to deal with. Our first Mazda was purchased in 2003 and it's just so nice to see that over a period of 12 years, many of the same staff are still working there! That certainly tells you something! I'll be driving a Mazda as long as Wantagh Mazda continues to be there! Wonderful buying experience - thanks to everyone involved!

We came in looking for a car for my husband and ended up walking out with a car for both of us! I had a CX-9 that I purchased 6 years ago and quite frankly loved it so much that I had no intention of giving it up, until I saw the 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring with all of it's new features. My husband had the Mazda 6 and just got the Mazda 3 and we both love our new cars! We dealt with Victor Liantonio when we purchased our first Mazda's and did not want to deal with anyone else but him this time. He is one of the most professional, courteous, low pressure salesmen I have ever met and he is an absolute pleasure to deal with. The rest of the staff there is great as well, especially Kenny Davis. Fun-loving and full of energy with a great personality. Thank you to everyone at Wantagh Mazda for making our car buying experience a great one!

Just took delivery of my fourth Mazda. For the last three vehicles Victor has been my salesperson. He has always been very professional and courteous. He has helped me get the car I want for the price I want. Never any sales pressure. Also, everyone I dealt with at the dealership has been very professional, courteous and friendly.

Our salesman Victor Liantonio was excellent. We visited the dealership three different times to allow all family to view the car of my choice , the Mazda 3. Always receiving a warm, friendly and knowledgable greeting, we knew this was the dealer to purchase our Mazda. Victor led the way with a test drive, locating my car with all the options I wanted and closed the deal so very professionally.

Dealing with Joe Bonita was a pleasure. Not only was he extremely knowledgable but his demeanor in dealing with people is what "sealed" the deal. You can tell right away that he loves his work and is very happy at his workplace.I have never had a Mazda before and by the time i finished the sale, I felt as if I knew it very well. Therefore, driving away I definitely felt very comfortable in the car.I recommended Joe to another friend right away and she came in the next day and leased the same car. That is a wonderful testimony. By the way, I was recommended to Joe and your dealership by my neighbor who leased a Mazda early in the summer.

This is our 6th leased car and by far the most pleasant experience. Joe B was easy to talk to and answered our questions and did not pressure us at all. After looking around at other cars we came back to this dealership and leased our CX5. We were in and out in no time. Great experience!

This is my 3rd car leased at Wantagh Mazda, and most importantly with Victor. He has been beyond a pleasure to work with through the last 6 years, always informative, helpful, caring and diligent. He makes choosing the right car a stress free experience, I always leave happy with my choice. Always calling to check in after a purchase and throughout the course of my lease to make sure everything is good with me and the car. The whole staff is always helpful, and make every visit a great one. I plan on continuing my relationship with Wantagh Mazda for as many more years as I need a car.

I had many a trepidation about purchasing a new car after 21 years. I wasn't sure which model or what options. And, I hated retiring my old '94 Mazda MX-6. But, the sales team in this dealership cares, providing guidance and not pressure.

My experience at the wantagh site was nothing short of perfection. I was pleasantly greeted upon walking into the office and was offered additional services such as a needed inspection. I felt as though the staff had my best interest in mind and was sincerely concerned about my satisfaction. I was helped quickly and my oil was changed much faster than i anticipated. My father previously visited your site and was pleased as well.

This is the 4th car I have gotten from Wantagh Mazda. David Chiari and Joe Stella are fantastic to work with. There are no sales gimmicks. They are very straight forward and work with you to get the deal you want. They are the only dealership that am comfortable walking into and confident with the deal when I walk out. I highly recommend them to anyone. The quality of the Mazda cars, the deal you are able to get, as well as the customer service you receive at Wantagh Mazda, is second to none.

i had been to several dealerships and left with the feeling of being extremely pressured into buying a new car.When Wantagh Mazda was referred to me by a co worker who was very satisfied with his visit there and eventual purchase of his Mazda 6 i decided to visit Wantagh Mazda. i want to specifically speak about Johnathan Lakritz and Phil Puleo who i was directly involved with in regards to my purchase but would also like to add that everyone who i came into contact with had the same team concept of accommodating me and treated me and my family great. Johnathan Lakrantz was great he knew about the car he was selling , supplied me with all the information available and had me test drive the vehicle. No high pitched sales jargon he gave me the info and i was allowed to leave when i told him i would like to think it over. The next contact i had was a follow up phone call from Phil Puleo and subsequently several more trips to the dealership and meetings with Phil. Let me just say that Phil is perfect for the position he is in ,he has a great personality and patience. I know this because i was not the easiest person to deal with and had a severe distrust of car salesmen but Phil was always willing to speak with me . I never felt rushed and Phil made me feel like i was part of the Wantagh Mazda family. In the end i bought the Mazda 6 touring and it was because of John and Phil . If other car dealerships could bottle up and hand out what Wantagh Mazda is doing then they to would be extremly successful, but until then i will buy my next car at Wantagh Mazda . Great job guys keep up the good work !

I've purchased or leased cars at other dealers , through the years and i always get the jitters when its car buying time, however this was my first Mazda purchase and it turned out to be actually a very pleasant experience. I dealt with Victor mainly and to a lesser extent David and Kenny and they were all awesome. Victor's genuine concern that i get the features i was looking for along with his no pressure sales method went a far way with my wife, who is usually wary of car salesmen. I feel like i will definitely buy another vehicle from Wantagh Mazda and I'll definitely recommend friends and family.

Purchasing a car is not supposed to be easy or stress-free, so we were more than pleased with our recent experience at Wantagh Mazda. Joe B and Phil P were wonderful to deal with. There was no pressure at the dealership, no harassing phone calls at home, and no complications when the paperwork was signed. Truly a pleasure.

From my first visit to my fourth (when I picked up my new Mazda 6) all of the gentlemen (Jonathan, Phil P., Joe S. and Kenny) I dealt with were a pleasure. Not one person pressured me into anything I did not want or beyond my comfortable budget (as was my experience at another car company!) They are NOT your "typical" car salesmen that throw numbers at you then go in the back and make you incessantly wait while they "talk to their boss." They are real, upfront and to the point. I appreciated their honesty, their respect for my time and the seamless process of my new lease. Most of all, there were no surprises when it was time to close the deal, all that was discussed was delivered and there weren't any "hidden " or extra costs. They have successfully earned my trust as well as my business!

A couple of times I even dealt with Vinnie the owner. He too took the time to talk with me about my needs. Very well done! Shout out to Kenny who went above and beyond a couple of times for me!

The service department quickly and efficiently diagnosed the two issues and the service manager, Gary contacted me to discuss the work required and the estimated cost. They ordered the parts and had my car ready before the end of the day and even fixed one of my tires that had a nail in it for no charge. Very happy with the continued service my car has received any time I have bought it to the Dealership.

Very helpful and accommodating in all aspects. It was a very relaxed experience with no pressure. Also dealt with Phil Puleo, who was also equally helpful. Subsequent to my purchase I found out that my son, who owns a 2011 Mazda3, purchased it at Wantagh and also dealt with David, whom he had nothing but rave reviews for. Keep up the good work !

My husband and I went into this dealership because it was nearby and we thought we would check them out. From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted by a helpful and friendly staff. Victor Liantonio was easy going and didn't make us feel pressured to make a deal - but we did anyway because we felt like all of the employees were sincere with us. Everyone we dealt with made the transaction as smooth and easy as possible. Kenny Davis was all smiles the whole time. We left asking each other, "Did that really happen?" - we have leased/bought many cars and have always spent several grueling hours with the sales people involved - this was the complete opposite; an absolute pleasure!

Having brought the car in twice now for routine mileage scheduled maintenance, i can say the same about Gary Gavin and the Service department.

It is appreciated.

I have dealt with this dealership for the past 15 years whether to purchase a car or have my car serviced here. I have always dealt with David when purchasing; he is always friendly, helpful, informative not pushy at all which I love. I deal with the service department several times each year for for regular servicing of my Mazda . Jim and Gary are great and always extremely helpful. I never worry that the job has not been done properly; it's nice to have that kind of trust at a dealership. I have also always been very happy with any Mazda I have purchased over the years; no major problems at all The entire staff is friendly,courteous and efficient. As you can tell I would highly recommend Wantagh Mazda!

I just took home my first Mazda today. Not only do I love the new 2016 Mazda 6, but this was the best leasing experience I have had. I have been leasing Nissans for the last 12 years and it was time for a change. Our salesman, Victor Liantonio, was a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and most of all respectful. There was never a hard sell. He told us about the different models as well as the standard equipment/options for each. He then helped us find the right model/options for the best price. Kenny from finance walked us easily and painlessly through the lease. Finally, the manager, Joe, gave us REAL prices. Everybody is entitled to make a profit, but it is always a pleasure to deal with someone who not trying to rob you blind.I can't comment on the Service Department since I just took home the car today. I hope I will never have to.As far as the overall visual appeal of the dealership itself...please don't judge this book by it's cover. I grew up in the area and this dealership has ALWAYS been here. That definitely says something positive for it's staying power. It is a small building with a small showroom. Once you get over that and meet everyone inside, you will get over that quite quickly.

I wanted a car with a manual transmission and they were able to locate one and have it ready to pick up in 2 days. So far so good. Hope their service department is as good as their sales department.I just wish they were open a few hours on Sunday to make it easier for people who work all week.I would definitely get another car from here.

I have given WANTAGH MAZDA a five-star rating due to my excellent experiences with them since I bought my CX-5. Each department from sales (specifically Phil Puleo) to service (specifically Gary Gavin) to phone reception, to last but not least, one of the owner's Vinny Vergara, they have been professional, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all personable. We had some problems to work out regarding my car and they went above and beyond to make sure and I quote "I walk away satisfied and hopefully a repeat customer". As of today, I can say I am!!! I don't believe the car buying experience is this way with most dealers, WANTAGH MAZDA stands out from the rest! With most car dealers giving a very profit-oriented superficial business demeanor, the personable family feel experience at Wantagh Mazda is a breath of fresh air. They are a business and have goals to achieve, which I respect with any business of course, but they haven't lost the art of "customer" service and standing behind their product!

No pushy salesmen here. David Chiari was the best. He was extremely knowledgeable and made great suggestions to better serve our needs and get us into the best vehicle within our budget.

This was the most comfortable and positive car buying experience of my life. Victor was warm and friendly and explained things very clearly. There was no stress or pressure and absolutely no attempt to get me to purchase anything I wasn't interested in. They gave me a good price on my trade-in and I got a good deal on my new car. He answered every question completely and was very patient with me. The whole atmosphere of this dealership is much nicer than anywhere else I've ever shopped for a car.

My salesman, Jonathan, and the entire team, were very straightforward and fair, both in the price of the car, and on my trade-in.There was no pressure to make a deal, Jonathan was very knowledgable and helpful, both in purchasing, and in demonstrating all of the car's features.I would highly recommend Wantagh Mazda and Jonathan.

Got exact car that I wanted and the price on my trade in I asked for. No fuss or pressure or tricks. Both the salesman and the sales manager answered all of my questions during the sale and found the car I wanted. Car pick up was a breeze with David getting me through all of the paperwork and explaining everything one document at a time.David also took the time to show me the features of the car and set up my Bluetooth with phone.

Dealership prices aside, the service dept at Wantagh mazda is excellent. Excellent customer service, excellent communication, and excellent results.We all know dealership prices are high, because they're trained on our cars. can't fault them for that. that's the nature of the business. But, If it wasn't for the prices, i'd take my car here all the time.

Dealing with Wantagh Mazda was an overall great experience. No pressure, no traditional "hard sell", none of the stress or annoying tactics that usually make car shopping tedious and overwhelming. They offered very competitive pricing and were very friendly, honest, low-key, and knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and never made us feel like we were wasting their time.... even when we came back several times without making a purchase. David was very genuine and accommodating and in the end, we were able to reach the price point we needed. The whole sales experience left us feeling good about our new Mazda CX-5 and I would definitely recommend them!

This has to be the nicest, lowest pressured dealers I've ever worked with that has extremely competitive pricing. And both Phils are wonderful to work with! I would most definitely make this my first stop when looking for a Mazda.

We just bought our 7th car from Victor Liantonio. He is a pleasure to work with, and makes you feel comfortable; he never tries to force any options on the buyer that they do not need, which is too often the case at many dealerships. They gave be an excellent trade in on my car and they value you customer loyalty which translates to even more savings. It is easy to recommend Wantagh Mazda and especially Victor. When its time for a trade in, I will be back.

I leased my Mazda two years ago through Phil Puleo, who was phenomenal. His low-pressure salemanship and patience were exactly what was needed to put me in a Mazda. I am already looking forward to my next one. The service center is excellent as well - Jim and Gary did an amazing job, and the service was quick and convenient. I will be a customer for life. Ten stars!

I recently purchased my CX5 which was my third Mazda. As with my previous purchases, David was a delight to work with. There is never any hard sell. David knows what I am looking for and accommodates my wishes to the fullest. I have also, on various occasions, had the pleasure of working with Kenny. He, too, is always there to assist me with my needs. Both David & Kenny are truly an asset to Wantagh Mazda.

I currently own two Mazda vehicles and have both of them serviced by Wantagh Mazda on a regular basis. I find the entire process to be easy. I have also found working with the service managers to be a pleasure. They are knowledgeable and patient. I plan on purchasing Mazda vehicles in the future and I will continue to have Wantagh Mazda perform the service to my vehicles! I also enjoy looking at newer Mazdas while I wait and always find Joe Bonavita to be knowledgable, professional and a pleasure to deal with!

Great place..was recommended here by a friend. Spoke with Victor he wasn't pushy at all he worked with me and really listened to why I wanted and needed in a car. He recommended me a car and I loved it and ended up purchasing it that day. This was a great and easy purchase and I couldn't be happier with my new CX-5

Joe was very professional. I would recommend him to everyone. Left with a new car without playing the typical games of car dealerships. We chose the right car at the right price and no haggling about finance, trade in, msrp, etc. More importantly he wasn't a headache dealing with over the phone.

Joe B was excellent. No pressure. Let us walk away and think about it without hounding us (or making any annoying phone calls). When we were ready to buy, we only wanted to deal with him and the team at Wantagh Mazda.

Victor was knowledgeable about Mazda, as expected, but was very knowledgeable about the specific car (CX-5) I was looking to purchase. He made the experience pleasurable- no sales pressure at any time. Totally satisfied with the sales experience and will strongly recommend not only the Wantagh Mazda dealership, but specifically Victor as the person to contact.

This was my first time buying from Mazda. The team here is amazing. Joe B was very attentive and focused in on all our needs and concerns. He really exceeded all of our expectations. He was so kind and honest. We cannot wait to come back! If any dealership deserves your business, it is this one.

After months of researching a Mazda cx5 I went into the Wantagh Mazda dealership to look, test drive and buy. Joe is an honest salesman, did not push when it came to making a purchase. He also took into consideration what I wanted and needed and helped me make my purchase accordingly.

This is my second experience leasing at Wantagh Mazda. My sister recommended the dealership and sales person Victor to me and my husband. Both times, the experience was a great one. Victor is knowledgeable and professional. He is also a no pressure kind of guy. The same can be said for Phil Puleo and Kenny who assisted. We don't even live in the area and go to this dealership because of the way Victor treats us. Like the family atmosphere, Already enjoying my new Mazda 3.

Dealing with Joe Bonavita was an absolute pleasure. There was no hard sell, it was a completely stress free experience and I truly left feeling like Joe went above and beyond to get the best possible deal for us. Initially my wife and I were looking at a competitors SUV and we had a terrible experience with them. We left the competitors dealership with a bad taste in our mouth and almost gave up looking for a new car but we decided to give it one more shot. And boy are we glad we did. From the moment we walked into Wantagh Mazda we felt like a member of the family and not like just another commission check. Joe listened to us and what we wanted rather then trying to push something on us. We ended up getting exactly what we wanted and got an amazing deal. I'm not the type of consumer who typically goes online and writes a review, but, Joe and Wantagh Mazda was just that great that I would feel like it would be a disservice to my fellow consumers if I did not write a review praising how great it was. I've already given Joe's card to my uncle and will be sure to tell everyone that will listen how great he is.

Had a great experience purchasing my CX-5 at Wantagh Mazda. Our salesman, Joe Bonavita was very knowledgable and had a wonderful No-pressure style. The pricing was very fair and we had the car to pick up as promised. Again, Joe spent plenty of time showing us all the features and how they functioned. Oh, our whole financing process took less than 5 minutes. I have already recommended Joe and this dealership to friends.

I found this dealership on Google and unlike many dealerships, it had amazing reviews. I reached out to them and got a reply from Joe Bonavita. He was very professional, helpful, friendly, and most of all, honest. I told him exactly want I wanted in my lease and the very next day he gave me the perfect quote. There was no haggling, no surprise fees, the price he stated didn't change because "I didn't qualify for special promotions." He told me he would process all of my information on Friday so he car would be ready for pick up on Saturday. He even took care of the insurance for me! Saturday came and my wife and I took a cab from Brooklyn to the dealership (which was over an hour away). Just as Joe promised, we were in and out in no time. It was well worth it to go out of our way to this amazing dealership and experience WORLD CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Once again I brought my CX9 in for service and once again I was pleased with the service manager Gary, he was helpful and gave me a feeling of confidence. The car runs like it came out of the showroom, it has about 36000 miles. Thank you again... I forgot, the machinics did a great job on the car clean thorough, thanks to them mainly....

May 17, 2015

My husband and I were in the market to lease our first new car together. We don't know much about car shopping because we live in Brooklyn and never really had a huge need for a car. We even brought my lawyer brother in law along for his experience in leasing and his negotiating skills. Wantagh Mazda was the second dealership we visited and ended up signing a lease right there! We worked with Phil T. who was incredibly knowledgable, friendly, honest and transparent. He knew his stuff! He let us test drive a new Mazda CX5 Grand Touring and didn't even come in the car with us. He was very confident about his product and trusted us with the dealership's car. The CX5 is a great crossover SUV. It has a fantastic drive and lots of amazing safety features. We ended up adding in a few bells and whistles and Phil T and Joe came up with a really fair lease price for us. They rolled all the taxes and fees into our monthly payment and were able to come within our budget. It was a great experience! Even my brother in law is seriously considering getting his next car at Wantagh Mazda! Thanks for a great experience!

Victor was extremely helpful and honest. He made the process of buying a car easier than I could ever imagine. Kenny Davis you were great too :) I highly recommend this dealership. The people there do not try to rip you off or play games like other dealerships. They are very straight forward and to the point. Thank you again Mazda Wantagh!!!!!

He saw that I had my little one with me and got me out in 45 minutes. I've been going there almost three years and am always in and out. I would definitely get my next car from there because their service is so outstanding. Gary is the best!!

Friendly and helpful. Taking the time to explain and answer all questions. The salesperson, Victor, made every effort to accommodate our requests and needs to come to an agreement on the sale.We were given the extra time we needed to decide. Victor did all the footwork for us regarding insurance and car title and all paperwork.Also, after purchase, he took a lot of time explaining all the features of the car and the set up the Bluetooth for us and was willing to drive with us till we got use to the new features etc.Total confidence in his honesty and integrity. He made sure we were satisfied and happy with the car.He has a lot of experience and knowledge about cars and is willing to share his knowledge and time.Dynamic personality too.

In summary, a fantastic car buying experience. This was the 3rd dealership we visited (one Honda and one Mazda dealer) before coming to Wantagh Mazda, where we dealt with Phil P. and Joe B. Both were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They said right up front that they were going to give us their best price for our trade-in and their best lease price. And that's exactly what they did. They beat the both of the other dealers we visited without knowing their offers. It was such a great experience to buy a car this way - no pressure in a relaxed environment. Everyone at the dealership was a pleasure to work with. (At the other 2 dealerships, they literally followed us out the door offering lower prices so we wouldn't leave. Who wants that?!?!)

Have purchased several cars from Wantagh Mazda over the last 5 years and have always enjoyed a great experience. The reason for that experience is not the price, but the one salesman I have had the pleasure of knowing, that would be Victor Liantonio. Victor always makes you feel at home, like your dealing with an old friend. Never any pressure and intent on making the customer happy.

Went down to this dealer on Saturday May 9th with my wife to look at the CX-5. Met with sales person by the name of Jon. He set us up with a test drive and told us to take it down to Jones Beach since we were right by the parkway. Car is amazing first off. It takes a decent amount to impress me and I definitely was, I had a lot of questions and with each answer I was given Jon put my mind at ease. This was my first brand new car purchase and felt like I got exactly what I wanted with very little effort. There was no back and forth negotiating or stories like at other dealerships. I told them the price I wanted to pay and the reasons why. They came back to me and said they could do it. Even after the credit check went through it went down a little. I feel like at other dealers it always comes back higher - based on experiences my friends have had. Picked the car up on May 11th. Have had a ton of Ooos and Aaaaz over it. I would recommend this dealership and the brand to anyone. Trust me, I tried leaving no stone unturned. I asked questions up until the moment I took the keys to drive off the lot. Time taken - Test Drive (25 Mins) Brief Negotiations (20 mins) Paperwork fill out (20 mins) Car Overview (40 mins) ; this included going over all filled out paper work, signing additional things as well as being shown the vehicle and features etc. This was over the course of Saturday and Monday.

Between myself and my wife both while married and when we were dating, we have now purchased 4 cars from David. He is always so easy to work with. He is not one of these high pressure sales guy that give car salesman a bad name. He isn't even a low pressure guy. I would say he is no pressure. I bought a red 2016 mazda 6. It took me over a week to decide what color i wanted to go with, and David didn't bug me once trying to pressure me to hurry up on my decision.

I have been contacting Wantagh Mazda for a year, regarding the purchase of a new vehicle. Finally I was fed up with the cost of maintance of my volkswagon TDI, and decided to sell it to Wantagh Mazda. They purchased my vehicle on the spot, used the down payment and purchased a new mazda3. I took the vehicle home the next day. The reason I decided on a mazda is, I own a CX9 that I purchased in 2007, not once, repeat not once did this vehicle let me down or brake down on me ever, I still have it, I love the CX9. With this reputation I decided to get another Mazda.This will be my traveling vehicle, it gets 41mpg on highway. I wanted to mention as well, that hurricane Sandy ruined me financially, I was forced to declare bankruptcy. But never thought I would be able to finance the vehicle for 2.4% percent interest rate. I have to give a shout to Kenny the finance guy at Wantagh who worked with my bank to get me financing at such a low rate. I will go back in the next few months and sell my CX9 and will purchase a new CX5. David Chiari no pressure salesman, I loved it. You know David, when I walked in on Friday, I wanted to look only, but when you sat me inside that red Mazda3, I had to have it. AND I DID, Thanks!!!

Everyone at Mazda -- especially David -- were very helpful, friendly and my purchase was stress free. I did price the same car at another dealship but went to Wantagh Mazda to purchase it. They matched the price and their help and service was fantastic. I love the new car -- I haven't had to use their service dept. -- But I think they will be just as good from what I hear. Thanks David!! I will send others your way in the future.

From the minute I walked into this dealership to the Time I drove my new Mazda 3 out the door it was the most pleasant experience I EVER had dealing with Salespeople at a car dealership. Joe Bonavita, my salesman was a pleasure to work with. He knew the Cars, The Deals, and made my wife and I very comfortable with what we were Leasing.Kudos to the Rest of the Staff for also reaching out to answer any questions especially Kenny Davis who knew how to loosen the mood every time I walked in the Showroom.I highly recommend Wantagh Mazda !!!!!!

Victor made us feel very comfortable, and treated us like family. From the moment we walked in I knew we were in good hands with Victor. Management, finance and sales were all amazing. We ended up have a great Saturday with our new friends at Wantagh Mazda! David was also great teaching me the ins and outs of my new car. Thanks to Kenny for making me laugh all day.

Having not purchased a new car in 9 years, needless to say I was not looking forward to the process. Lucky for me however, I ended up at Wantagh Mazda. I learned quickly that the staff was extremely friendly and forthcoming as they exuded professionalism every step of the way. From Joe B, who explained the ins and out's of the car with great detail, to Phil T, who handled our negotiations in a very fair and honest way, to Kenny D, who (as someone else accurately identified to as hilariously outspoken) made the finance part of the process actually a laugh out loud experience. The team definitely made the process both enjoyable and a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend the dealership to anyone interested in buying a Mazda - specifically the CX9 Grand Touring, which so far has been a great ride! Thanks again guys!

I had to take a minute to tell you about the wonderful experience I had at Wantagh Mazda! We all know how grueling buying a new car can be! THIS IS NOT THE CASE if you go to Wantagh Mazda. From the moment I walked in I knew this is where I would buy my new CX-5! I was greeted by Joe Bonavita. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. Since I had done my homework on the CX-5 I new the model, color, etc. I wanted and Joe made this happen without any hassles!His professionalism was impeccable! When I picked up the car Joe took the time to go over all the features of the car & even took the time to hook up my phone to the Bluetooth & my iPod too!I highly recommend purchasing your next car here!

My wife and I did a lot of research before deciding to test drive a Mazda 3 hatchback and we made up our mind to buy one after a test drive at another Long Island Mazda dealership. While we were very motivated to buy a Mazda, the other dealership was very difficult to work with. Negotiating with them was like pulling teeth and they gave a terrible lowball offer on our trade-in. We finally negotiated a decent deal with the other dealership, but decided to sleep on it before making the purchase. On a whim, we decided to check out Wantagh Mazda. We met with Victor, who was fantastic. Without even having to negotiate much, we arrived at a better deal for the price of the new car and the amount of the trade-in than we had been considering from the other dealership.If any of my friends or family were to ask, I would not hesitate to direct them to Wantagh Mazda.

I have said it before and believe it is worth repeating. Mazda has a great product line. I just leased a CX5 from Wantagh Mazda. I, my family and friends have purchased and leased vehicles from Wantagh Mazda going back nearly 14 years. It is a great dealership and they have great cars. I purchased my first Mazda, MPV LX , from Phil in 2001. Phil is a friendly, honest, no pressure and thoroughly professional sales manager. I will continue to call on Phil for my vehicle needs and I will continue to recommend the Wantagh Mazda dealership to others. This was my first time leasing a car. It was an enjoyable and completely stress free experience. I am very pleased with terms of the lease and was able to take advantage of a number of discounts. As a consumer, I feel very fortunate to say this. Thank you.

From the moment you step into the showroom everyone there is beyond helpful and looking out for your best interest. David Chiari is the guy to see! He is so friendly and laid back (not your typically obnoxious car sales man) he is the reason I went back. He worked with Mr Oz (big Joe) on getting me an affordable deal with everything I want in a car! I am beyond happy with my 2016 Mazda CX 5. I am already looking forward to going back for my next veichle!

I just picked up my brand new 2016 Mazda 6 GT from Wantagh Mazda today! This lease makes it the 5th car that my family has leased/purchased from Wantagh Mazda. Every single experience we have had with Wantagh Mazda has been phenomenal! I have been working exclusively with Phil Puleo ever since my first purchase. Wantagh Mazda's sales team works in a strictly no-pressure atmosphere. All of your questions will be answered and when the dust settles, you'll have an amazing car and a deal that's second to none. After just one experience at Wantagh Mazda, you'll never go to another dealership ever again! The Service team headed by Jimmy and Gary are also awesome! They have personally helped me over the phone with various questions and have always been available whenever I needed to reach them. Wantagh Mazda has every aspect of owning a car covered from purchase to service. Thanks guys!-Nick P.

I had read very good reviews about this dealership and I can say that they were not wrong. I came in after having a very bad experience at another dealer. After doing the normal looking around I spoke with Phil Tochterman about a CX9. Phil gave me all the information I required and after negotiating a price for the vehicle and my trade in we had a deal. In fact I asked if they could install some blue lights for me and they did so with no problem. All I can say was this was the best experience I have had in all my car purchases. Phil Puelo was also a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this dealership.Richard K.

A month prior to me coming to Wantagh Mazda, my sister got a new 2015 Mazda 6 from them. She highly recommended their courteous service and their no-attitude approach thats so rare to find nowadays at any car dealership. I came there without any particular expectations since the lease on my 2011 Nissan Altima that I had at the time hadnt expired yet. I just wanted to explore my options. My sales manager was Phil Puleo, my salesman was Phil Tochterman, and a finance manager Kenny Davis the same outstanding crew that helped my sister to get a great deal. First of all, I was very surprised to find that nobody pressured me into any deals, or signing papers, or giving deposits. Im so used to being tricked, pressured, frustrated and simply lied by car dealers that I couldnt fully believe that I was finally treated like a valuable customer and not like a bag of cash!!! Phil T. had a great knowledge of all Mazda vehicles and explained to me all options I had. Like my sister, I decided on leasing a new 2015 Mazda 6. Phil P. (and Kenny D. in turn) were able to work out a very good deal on a vehicle of my choice. They were willing to work with me on all stages of finance/lease process considering that my credit score was not that good. They also gave me a Loyalty Discount since my sister recommended me. I walked away with an awesome new car and a great deal. In addition, they paid me to get out of my Nissan lease earlier: they covered my Disposition Fees and some extra mileage I had on the vehicle. Win-win deal!!! Everyone, who I dealt with, was pleasant, helpful, professional and treated me with respect. It was truly the best car-buying experience I have ever had. I would definitely recommend Wantagh Mazda to my friends and family. Thank You for all your help. Yuri R.

After 7 years of owning a major competitor's car I went "back" to Wantagh Mazda for a new car. Went in thinking I could only afford a Mazda 3 and by the time I made a decision I ended up purchasing a 2016 CX-5. No pressure, no fast talk. Very pleased. Highly recommend this dealership.

My father went there to purchase a Mazda 6 and was so pleasantly satisfied with the purchase experience and David Chiari as well as how the others employees worked with him that he encouraged me to go speak with them. I have been wanting a new car, but unsure if I could currently make it work. Not only did they go through options with me and help me purchase the Mazda 3, David even got an insurance company on the phone for me to even have the insurance figured out before I left. The time needed is spent with you and they make you feel like family and friends rather than just customers. Everyone was very professional, totally accommodating, especially David and Joe who really helped me out. It was a very pleasant experience and we both couldn't be happier! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I recently bought a Mazda 6 and was so pleasantly surprised at the wonderful buying experience. it was so completely different from some of my other horrible buying experiences that I had (Nissan). There was no pressure, no games, no having to run back and forth to the "manager", not tricks etc. The salesman, Victor, was so friendly, very knowledgable about the cars, helpful, and most of all transparent. I would highly recommend this dealership and would highly recommend Victor Liantonio. I absolutely love my Mazda.

The trio of Phil P, Ken D, and Phil T made my car buying experience the best I have ever had (and I have acquired about a dozen cars in the last 15 years). They were receptive to what I wanted on the terms I wanted and delivered on schedule without a hitch. This was my son's first brand new car and they also spent a lot of time with him to make sure he understood everything about the car. I am already on Phil T's calendar to call me in December to discuss a possible next purchase. Outstanding, professional, and courteous in all aspects. I highly recommend Wantagh Mazda. George M

These guys are the best. You feel like you are at a party with your relatives.They make great cars affordable. Victor is the best low pressure car seller you will ever find, Phil, Kenny and Joe complete the package. Thrilled with my new Mazda 6.I also have a CX5, and I previously owned the CX3 and the CX9 - all great cars.Skyactiv provides great gas mileage. I could not be any happier with my purchase

This dealership is the best!. It does NOT have vultures waiting for you to come in. The sales people take turns. Civilized and makes for a much better experieince. This is my second car bought there. Joe Bonavita was my salesman. WOnderful guy, no hard sell, explains options and calculates everything for you...interest rates, packages, taxes, etc.I have been to multiple dealerships in my area, and they are like animals. I don't know if that's how they treat everyone or just women. But they are really disgusting.Wantagh Mazda...great employees, great services, great cars!

I was in the market for a 2015 Mazda CX-5 and called a few Mazda dealerships in the area including one that is just down the street from my house. They all played the same game most dealerships play where they don't want to talk about anything over the phone and are just trying to get you into the dealership. They also were not very helpful with my request for specific features and color combos.Friend's of ours bought their CX-5 from Wantagh Mazda a year ago and I recalled them saying it was a good experience. I gave them a call and spoke with Joe, the sales manager who was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, and took my call seriously. We managed to work most of the deal over the phone which saved me the 30 minute drive from my house to check out if their offer was worth while. They even offered to bring in a car that meets my exact criteria if they didn't have it in stock, at no extra cost. They ended up getting me the exact deal I was asking for and on a 2016 model instead of a 2015! The transaction was extremely smooth and stress free. Their dealership is very small but don't judge a book by it's cover! I would take a small dealership with friendly, honest sales people than a large dealership run by crooks. I will be recommending this dealership to everyone I know and I already have! Another friend of mine also went here to get his CX-5 and had a similar experience.

Salesperson Victor was really great and a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable and easy to work with. Made the experience of shopping for a car (which is not our favorite thing) more enjoyable than we would have expected. Would highly recommend friends/family to see Victor. Also worked with Kenny Davis on Victor's day off and he was great to work with also. Am very satisfied (in the two days I have had it) with the vehicle and have gotten many compliments on it already. I also like the fact that the dealership is animal friendly and donates to North Shore Animal League.

For me, simply, all I ask for is a good car, a fair deal, and a fair deal conducted with professionalism and integrity. Phil Puleo of Wantagh Mazda has come through for our last 3 leases. Added bonus: He's truly a nice guy! (Phil Tochterman was also extremely helpful)..........................Mitch Suval

Purchased a '15 CX-5 with Phil T. and Phil P's help and was pleased to find out that I could actually get the exact vehicle I wanted after being told by Garden City Mazda that I could not. Phil P. showed me on his computer the exact car I wanted. Once they came in close to my price, they earned my business. There were some paperwork issues at the end and I'm still waiting for the actual Bill of Sale to come in the mail but I can't really complain. They came in under other prices I got. Phil T. was very professional, patient and not pushy which is rare in the world of car salesmen. I for one, like the fact the dealership is small and unpretentious. You're buying a car, I don't need to walk into a place and feel like I'm in a nightclub which seems to be the look a lot of these dealerships are going for. I hope the service department is equally professional when I bring our new ride for a check up. I'm sure they will. If not, stay tuned. Thanks to Phil x 2.

It was truly a pleasure to interact with all of the staff at Wantagh Mazda. They were straight forward and attentive to all our concerns, questions, and trepidations about leasing a new vehicle. Hands down the best experience I've had in the often terrible medium of car sales. You will not find a better staff. Victor and Joe are the best and i would thoroughly recommend them to anyone in the market for a Mazda. They even took the time to ensure that the release of my old lease (A Honda) was painless and easy. Really genuinely happy about their services. I urge everyone looking for a Mazda to look no further than Wantagh Mazda.

We recently went back to Wantagh Mazda for our third vehicle. I will never go anywhere else. They are a no pressure dealer. Everyone is very helpful, and one person is nicer than the next. Victor is absolutely the best! I would recommend anyone to see him when buying a car. Kenny & Phil were also very helpful. I will tell anyone I know in the market for a vehicle to go to Wantagh Mazda, they are the best!

Jonathan Lakritz was our salesman and we really appreciated his style of working with us. He spent time with us looking at the car we were interested in and went over the different features. We did not feel any pressure to buy or like we were being talked into something we didn't want. We expected a very stressful day, when we left to buythe car in the morning, but working with Jonathan and Wantagh Mazda, made the stress of buying a car a little less!

Our whole experience with Wantagh Mazda was wonderful. Phil T. was the salesperson that worked with us. He was upfront about everything from pricing to helping us pick the best car for our needs. Phil T. was never pushy and never made us feel uncomfortable. Phil T. explained there were no stupid questions and we had plenty to ask him. Phil who handles the financing end of the transaction was also very upfront and helpful and there were no surprises when we went to close the deal. When we went to pick up our car Phil T. escorted us to our new car and showed us everything on the car and answered all of our questions. You could not ask for more professionalism from both of the Phils.We will be bringing our new Mazda back for all scheduled maintenance and will definately be returning to Wantagh Mazda when we are in the market for a new car.Gentlemen, thank you for making this process so pleasant and simple.By the way we love our new Mazda CX-5.Maureen & Dennis

This is the second mazda I leased from this dealer. I used victor the first time and he was by far the best salesperson I have ever dealt with. I hate the dealership experience usually associated with a new car purchase or lease with the back and forth nonsense and pricing and features. None of that occurred with victor the first time so I was happy to see he was still working there and of course used him again and he was just as fabulous the second time. if you are looking for a mazda no need to go anywhere else, this dealership will satisfy you without a doubt.

I just picked up my 4th new Mazda from the gang over at Wantagh Mazda. The amazing part is that the same people are there every time I go in (David, Kenny, Phil). It's no fuss there....I tell them what car I want and they make it happen. No scheming, no lying, no games, just good old-fashioned honesty. The whole experience is smooth and pleasant. My salesperson is David Chiari and I recommend him highly. I will be back in 48 months :)

Leased a CX9 there in 2011 and went back to lease a CX5. Showroom is small and verging on rundown, but that's okay. Everyone is very friendly.What was disappointing was that the "Tier 1" leasing quote that gave me as a returning customer was significantly higher than the "Tier 1" quote I received from another dealer. Expected better as a returning customer. That being said, I would not tell people to avoid this dealer.

The showroom is small and quaint but unpretentious. The salesman was informative, friendly, and completely non-aggressive. I never felt pressured but also felt comfortable in dealing with Phil. He was down to earth and took the time to really find what I wanted. No sales gimmicks and last minute fees and charges. I look forward to buying with Wantagh Mazda for many years to come.

It was so refreshing and comfortable dealing with everyone at Wantagh Mazda. Everyone we came in contact with was very down-to-earth and non salesman-like, but very professional.

Thank you guys so much for the wonderful experience! My husband and I showed up on a Friday afternoon and were having trouble deciding between two models. I wanted the CX-5 and my husband wanted the Mazda3. Phil T was completely professional and easy going. He set up test drives with both cars and off we went. There was no pressure to pick one car over the other nor did he try to interject. Instead, he answered all of our questions honestly and listened to any concerns we might have. When we left the dealership, we were still working it out - and had an appointment for the next day. Our trade in transaction was done easily and without incident - Phil Puleo took care of that. The paperwork was done quickly and efficiently - zero problems. We ultimately chose the Mazda3 and couldn't be happier. :)

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Wantagh Mazda.The entire staff at Wantagh Mazda was a joy to work with.I made my deal over the internet,when I spoke with Phil T over the phone he assured me that the sales quote wouldn't include hidden fees end that quote wouldn't change once I showed up in person.I wanted a particular model end color,they had it at the dealership in less than one week,I only had to go in person to sign my name on the the dotted line end drive off with my new 2015 Mazda CX-5.Phil T took the time to explain in every detail in the car,he was patience,professional end respectable an absolute pleasure to deal with.I will refer anyone I now seeking a car to them, such a pleasant end enjoyable experience !!!!!

Wantagh Mazda made my car searching experience extremely easy. The sales professionals were extremely easy to talk to and were very honest - which is what you want when you go to a dealer. The experience at Wantagh Mazda was unlike any other dealer I have ever been to. I knew right when I walked in that I was going to find the best deal there. The quotes are very reasonable and the quality of service that I received was top notch. I would definitely recommend Wantagh Mazda to anyone that is looking for a new car. Normally, when you think of going shopping for a new car, negative thoughts come to mind as well as extreme stress. I can honestly say that the people at Wantagh Mazda made this a stress-free experience.Phil T and Phil P were excellent at what they do and I will definitely be going back to them when it is time to lease my next car!

My lease on a 2012 CX-9 had 6 months left. I had gone to Garden City Mazda with the hopeof leasing a 2014 CX-9 for a lower price. This was my 3rd CX-9 so I felt I deserved some cateringtoo. Well that didn't pan out so I took a drive to Wantagh Mazda. Victor Liantonio greeted me withno high pressure tactics. We spoke for a while and worked out a FAIR deal for both of us. The 3gentlemen I dealt with were accommodating and patient. I would certainly recommend Victorand Wantagh Mazda,in this day of nonexistent customer service they were a pleasant surprise.

My experience at Wantagh Mazda was nothing short of excellent! I came in on a Monday and said "I need a car by Wednesday" and they made it a definite priority. Joe Bonavita, the salesman I primarily work with, even came in on his day off for 2 hours to make sure I would have the car when I needed it. He was clear about everything with me every step of the way and really stayed on top of things. He was very flexible and nice and made the process of buying a car quick and effortless. I also worked with Kenny and he was very friendly and helpful. The team here is great. I'm excited to do business with these people for years to come and recommend this dealership to anyone else looking for a car!

The buying experience is something worth writing about. Joe Bonavita, and the entire staff made the buying experience worthy of me taking the time to write this review. Joe was straight forward with price and expectation, no running around and BS sales pitch. We worked together to maximize both our interest and came to an agreement without two many back and forth. I was not subjected to the usual sixteen different people claiming to want to help me get into a car today, you know the, hi I am the first manager, second manager, finance manager, manager of all managers and we are going to get you into to a car today. The whole experience started with a phone call on Saturday morning following an internet inquiry the night before and ended with me and my family driving away Saturday evening before closing in our new car. I highly recommend the dealership and Joe Bonavita. and would return to the dealership for another Mazda.

Phil T was courteous throughout the entire experience. This is truly a no pressure dealership. This is a nice change from the "boiler room" dealerships I've been to throughout my life. My wife appreciated that she was spoken to and not ignored like at some other dealerships. Phil T and staff were very sweet to my two daughters. Phil T even gave them a gift. Phil P was a gentlemen and I enjoyed trying to get the best price for my car with him. It was somewhat humorous at times. If the car performs as I hope it does I will definitely be back when I need another vehicle. Thanks everyone- Ben & Nancy

This is my first car, and I'd like to thanks to Jonathan that he gave me such great purchasing experience. Before deciding which dealer which I go, I did a lot of research. Finally, I went to Wantagh Mazda because they have really good reviews. First, I made an appointment with Johnathan. When I met him, he has patient and explained every single detail clearly. I told him what I need. He understood and gave me a match car without any additional package or services. No pressure and hiding fee. I would recommend anyone who interested in Mazda's cars.

When I had made the decision to purchase a car, one of several places I visited for a test drive was Wantagh Mazda. David was courteous and more than happy to let me take one of the cars for a spin. Though I knew that day I wasn't ready to make a purchase, and told David so, he didn't push for any more details or information. Fast forward 4 months later, after spending most of the summer researching the car I wanted to purchase, I finally made the trip back out to Wantagh Mazda to hopefully purchase a Mazda 3. Very happy to say after a friendly discussion we came to a great price. David helped to make the process very easy and straightforward, as did Kenny who worked to make the financial setup efficient and beneficial for all.Should I be in the market for another car in the future, I'll certainly be paying Wantagh Mazda a visit.

After five long years of car searching and debating with myself whether or not I should purchase new or pre-owned, I discovered the Mazda CX-5 back when it was first released towards the end of 2012. I instantly feel in love with its styling but quickly came to the determination that it was out of my budget, so I test drove a Mazda 3 5-Door and absolutely loved it. I put my car search on hold due to a couple of job layoffs and once getting stable with a new career, I once again decided to look into the Mazda CX-5 and placed an order for a catalog. My father also liked the CX-5 and purchased it from Victor Liantonio and recommended that I meet Victor to discuss new and certified pre-owned vehicles that my be in my budget.Day one of my search I took a ride to Wantagh Mazda with my father and saw a Charcoal Mazda 3 5-Door literally in front of where I parked. The same color, make and model that I test drove a couple years earlier. I initially walked past it because I wanted to discuss a new Mazda CX-5 Sport, but after discussing my budget and past experience Victor convinced me to take the Mazda 3 5-Door for a test drive...I instantly knew it was the car for me.However, being that it was day one of my search, I knew I had to sleep on it and a week later contacted Victor about the car. After a quick conversation on the phone with Victor and a debate with my father; I decided it might be time to "pull the trigger" on the car.I discussed my budget with Victor and how I wanted a remote start and could not believe how easily the negotiations went. He told me that there was a possibility that I may need my father to co-sign and left it up to me if I wanted to take the process further. I did have my hesitations, so Victor asked if I wanted to take if for a test drive again, however I felt comfortable the way the negotiations went, very light haggling, so I decided to solidify my offer and get a determination on my credit and my financing rate.I was very comfortable with the deal Victor had worked out with me and the next step was to meet with Kenny to discuss my financing rate and any extras I wanted to add. Much to my surprise I got an exceptional financing rate and was given two quotes, one with the warranty and one without...the best thing about it was that it was the same rate whether I took the warranty or not.I was at the point where I was happy with the pricing and happy with the financing and could not believe how easily everything went, so I put a deposit on the car so I could discuss the specifics and extras with my father.Ultimately, I got the car I wanted, the extras I desired, and the extended warranty, at a monthly payment I was comfortable with.People may tell you to shop around, but this was the first car purchase I ever made and feel extremely satisfied how everything worked out and this was the first place I went to. I feel that Victor and Kenny went out of their way for me and feel completely comfortable with my purchase.I would recommend Wantagh Mazda to my family and friends and anyone in the market for a new vehicle. I am so happy with my purchase and enjoyed all aspects of my first car buying experience.

Going into last Saturday, I was nervous about purchasing my first Mazda. Luckily my mother, brother, and myself were warmly greeted by Victor upon entering. Within minutes we were test driving a Mazda 3 and I had made up my mind shortly thereafter. Victor made the entire buying experience fun and non intimidating for me and I really really appreciate it. Thanks again Victor from the Salamanca family! And thanks to Kenny for bringing the laughs also!

Joe B. and Phil went above and beyond...they literally went the extra mile(s) to ensure that I was able to have the exact car I wanted to buy.

This is the first time that I bought a car from a dealer and felt good about it. This dealership is very honest and the employees have integrity. I dealt with both David and Joe. I found them to be interested in answering my questions rather than eager to sell me whatever car they had in the lot. I ended up ordering the car and had to wait for it to be shipped from the factory (in Japan). They expedited the delivery with professionalism and courtesy. Buying a car from Wantagh Mazda felt like buying clothes from Macy's; casual and no added pressure from the dealer.I strongly recommend Wantagh Mazda to anyone who wants to buy a car without the salesperson's pressure.

David made the whole shopping and leasing experience so simple and efficient. There was no hassle, no pressure, and great service. Of course, the car itself is amazingly good.

This is the 3rd Mazda I am leasing through Wantagh Mazda. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. I always use Victor - he is great to deal with. Everything they promise is exactly the way it is. No pressure at all. Always a positive experience and a great car. I highly recommend them. I have sent several friends and family and they all feel the same way I do. JOe Stella and Phil are also very helpful.

Vic was an outstanding dealer who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicles. I highly recommend that anyone who goes there should ask for his help, he will provide the best buying experience.

My husband and I have had many cars in our 30 years together. This was the 1st time we ever had such a positive experience with a car dealership. Phil T was a great salesman as were everyone else we met at Wantagh Mazda. No pushy sales, no scary tactics, just helpful and trying to please. We love our CX5 and now we are off to pick up a Mazda 3 for our son. Amazing experience!

We purchased a new 2014 Mazda5 at Wantagh Mazda in September. Our experience working with this dealership was great. Our salesman Victor was helpful and knowledgeable. We also worked with Kenny who set us up with window tinting and adding a roof rack to our vehicle. We could not be happier with our purchase. Our only regret is that Mazda will no longer be offering the Mazda5 for sale in the US. Too bad, its a great car and so much fun to drive!

Got my new CX5 this week afyer having my Trailblazer for 10yrs..didn't feel pressured or hounded to buy as I felt at other dealerships..I also appreciated being heard and understood as for what I wanted in a car and in the whole car shopping experience. Thanks Wantagh Mazda for a great shopping experience. Love my new baby!!!

My husband and I routinely buy vehicles where there is no negotiating (set price). We just truly dislike the car buying process; as such we tend to not only buy from set price manufacturers but we tend to hold onto our cars for a really long time. We needed to buy a car for our son who is heading off to medical school and we wanted to ensure he had a highly rated vehicle that was good on gas mileage, safe, good value, excellent consumer ratings etc. When it was time to negotiate price, we were in fact dealing with two dealerships. I was working with one and my husband the other. While the pricing turned out to be very close at each, we went with Wantagh because the vibe there was NOT one of pressure, frustration, bullying. There was some humor and playfulness involved and a very 'gentile' process rather than the type of experience where you walk out of the dealership drained and beaten up. Thank you to David for being so patient and to Kenny for his humor and ability to know when to not keep selling.

AMAZING customer service. I would recommend it to anyone. I have dealt with other dealerships in the past (Mazda and other makes) and no one has given me the attention and respect I received at Wantagh Mazda. Every little detail of the purchase was explain from understanding the financing part to the delivery details. Highly recommended! :-)

I never enjoy car shopping, let alone visiting car dealerships. I read great reviews online about Wantagh Mazda and decided to go down and see what they had to offer. Upon walking in I was greeted by my sales rep David, who was very polite and friendly. I was expecting pushy, aggressive sales people, but that's not what Wantagh Mazda is about. He gave me time to myself to look at the models in the showroom and on the lot. He also quickly provided me with information on both the Mazda 3 & 6 while he was finishing up with somebody else. I didn't anticipate getting a deal done that day since it was still relatively early in my car shopping, but I was open to listening what they could do for me. When David was finished with the other people, we sat and discussed what I was looking for. It was probably one of the most friendly and honest conversations I've ever had with a salesman. He made it clear that he was there to help me, and he truly was. David was very easy to talk to and he never pushed anything on me. I give him a ton of credit because I was there for a few hours and he never showed signs of irritation or frustration, he maintained his friendly positive attitude the entire time. We finally reached an agreement and I couldn't be happier. Listen to the positive reviews you read online regarding Wantagh Mazda because they are indeed true. This dealership stands out from the rest. It truly was painless and hassle-free. Also, Kenny was great entertainment while I was waiting for David.

After reading the reviews about Wantagh Mazda, we saved this dealer for last, to see if what we read was true. We are happy to report that it is! Phil P. was able to give us a great price and we were treated with kindness & respect. There were no games being played, no sleaziness like we experienced at other dealers & we did not get the run around. He happened to have the car in stock & was able to deliver it a few hours later! Jonathan was kind and courteous on delivery and explained all of the wonderful features of our new Mazda CX5!

There is no reason not to buy or lease a car from these guys. This was the best experience, period. David Chiari was my salesman and he made the experience so easy, I didn't even realize I was buying a car. The experience was not stressful like the one I had with MINI when we bought my wifes car. I would send anyone that needs a car to this dealer. Thankyou Wantagh Mazda!

Victor, my sales rep did a great job showing me the cars that I wanted to see. He let me do two test drives, the last without him in the car. Everyone was honest, above board and the price that I paid was a pleasant surprise.

Victor's low key approach and low pressure sales method made the car purchase experience as close to a pleasure as possible. He listened to my needs and arranged a test drive and answered all questions to my satisfaction taking all the time and attention that required. This is very different from my previous experience with car salesmen. Thank you Victor.

The day I went to Wantagh Mazda I had gone to 3 other dealerships and WM was THE BEST EXPERIENCE BY FAR. There were none of the usual haggling tactics that you usually get. I was given a fair price with no pressure to buy then and there.

Being a recent widow, I was dreading buying a new car on my own. To my delight, dealing with Victor and the rest of the crew at Wantagh Mazda was a very pleasant experience! There was no sales pressure what so ever. Victor was informative, patient and answered every crazy question I asked with a smile. Everyone there were friendly and courteous and made me feel part of their family. I purchased a great car at a great price-Thanks Victor :))

I am in awe that my experience was such a nice and refreshing one. When it came to buying cars in the past I was always very combative and a real pain in the neck only due to my past experiences with the sales staff at other dealers. Well this past week August 26th through 28th I was treated like a human and I leased a brand new 2014 CX-9 well within the budget I quoted to them. The SUV is amazing and in all reality the deal went so well because of the experience with the sales staff. I say this because you know when you go to buy any big ticket item (TV's, Appliances, Cars etc...) the sales people are usually not the most welcoming and informative. The main people I dealt with was Vin, Victor & Phil and I can't STRESS enough how WELL they treated me and my family. I live in the area and I didn't want to travel far to purchase a vehicle and the gentlemen at Wantagh Mazda made it very easy for me to be a customer for many years to come. Early in the buying process we had a difference of opinion with the leasing of the CX-9 but these MEN sat down with me and worked very hard to make me feel very comfortable and made me feel as if I was the only customer around. I was in the dealership to look at the car on the 26th for an hour, on both the 26th and 27th we negotiated back and forth on certain items and on the 28th I picked up the SUV. I have NEVER EVER had an easy buying experience as I had with these fine gentleman in all my years of buying/leasing vehicles.If you are looking for a vehicle and you are not sure; YOU better go to Wantagh Mazda and see this staff. I promise you will not be sorry. You will walk out of the dealership happy and with a brand new vehicle. Thanks to all of you at Wantagh Mazda.

I had to take the time out of my busy schedule to sit down and let people know about my experience with Wantagh Mazda. I walked in and was greeted by Joe Bonavita, one of the salesman. He couldn't have been more friendly and extremely likeable. I told him I was going to turn in my leased Mazda CX9 that I purchased at another dealership, and was looking to purchase another CX9. Well to give you the short version ... He was not letting me leave there without giving me a deal I just couldn't turn down. This was like buying a car from my brother !! He had my best interest in mind the whole time ! I walked out of there that night and said to my wife, Man that was just too easy. Im used to haggling, fighting, and leaving dealerships in disgust !! Well guys I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this car buying experience, the best I have ever had !! And a special thanks to Kenny Davis, who got me the cheapest loan around ... and for all the Laughter !! oh and not to forget the manager, Joe Stella also a top notch guy to deal with. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ... Go check them out !!Keep up the Good work ... John & Anne Lopez

After searching for a new car to replace my nearly dead 19 year old one for a long time and dealing with pushy, unhelpful salesmen from other dealerships, I was pleasantly surprised to meet Victor Liantonio at Wantagh Mazda. He answered every question I had, didn't pressure me to decide immediately, and made the process of buying a car actually enjoyable. Kenny Davis did a wonderful job explaining the financing and Joe Stella helped me understand the fine details of the purchase.

Visited several dealerships looking to a lease a car, Wantagh Mazda was the best experience by far. Dealt with David and Kenny, they got me into a 2015 Mazda 6 quickly and hassle-free. Friendly staff and an honest transaction, will definitely visit Wantagh Mazda for my next vehicle.

Wow, all the other positive reviews are dead on! Popped in without an appointment looking to lease the new 2015 Mazda 6. Worked with Joe Bonavita. Terrific guy and zero pressure. No attempts to bait and switch and only offered me the options that I requested. Literally tossed my wife and I the keys for a test drive while he waited for our credit check to come back. We will most definitely be going back there when we are ready to trade in our family car in a year or two.

Victor Liantonio and staff made our new car experience painless! We negotiated a fare trade for my 2008 Altima and drove away with a brand new 2015 Mazda 6. Love the CAR, sporty meets luxury!!! Friendly dealership and a VERY pleasant experience. Can't say enough about THEM ALL. Would recommend them to family and friends.

I love my Mazda6! Upscale features (blind spot monitoring, rear view camera, push-button entry system, etc.) in a sporty/classy looking family sedan, great gas mileage, and a really smooth ride. The engine is quiet, the Bose stereo system rocks. And the car is FUN to drive! I was not sure I would be happy in a car with a 4-cyl engine, but there is absolutely no problem with getting up to speed in this car. It is large enough for the family and there is plenty of trunk space for vacation luggage or an overdue trip to BJs or Costco.5 stars, yes. I rarely give a 5-star rating, but the car is just perfect in every way. Victor, my Sales Counselor, made the purchasing process a pleasure, allowing me time to consider what model/trim/options/financing would best fit my budget and my needs. In fact, each member of the Sales Team was friendly, courteous and professional. I have and will continue to recommend this dealership to friends and family, and will surely return to Wantagh Mazda when it is time for another car.

Amazing experience at the dealership! The atmosphere was very relaxed (free coffee & donuts in the back) and feels almost like a family-run business. A few jokes here and there really livened up the process.Phil is also very knowledgeable on the car's features as well, and answered all our questions & concerns well beyond our expectations. When we decided on the car, we sat down and discussed the pricing, and exactly what the fees were - all which were explained clearly. When we needed time (after having explained the pricing), he gave us all the time we needed.We wanted to get a discount, but it wasn't as negotiable as I hoped it would be. This was understandable, since it was a new model that came out very recently. Regardless, I'm very satisfied with my new Mazda 3, and am looking forward to coming here again :-)

I felt welcome as soon as I set foot into Wantagh Mazda. I didn't feel pressured by the salesmen to buy right away like I was at other dealerships. Phil and Victor both treated me with an immeasurable amount of respect, and I will absolutely be recommending this dealership to anyone who asks. I have already pushed my in-laws to Wantagh Mazda because of the fantastic service I received.

I like the Wantagh Mazda dealer because it is not too big and overwhelming. I was able to browse around to look at the cars without feeling pressured or uncomfortable. My salesman was David Chiari. He was awesome. David was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and not pushy. He was also patient, as well as the rest of the dealership, considering I couldn't decide which color car to choose! I was also shopping with my 2 kids and my indecisive husband and still the process went smoothly. The car was perfectly ready for me when I picked it up. David even spent time showing me the various features in the car, like setting up my bluetooth. Excited about the experience and my new car!

I went to Wantagh Mazda to get info on leasing a CX 9. Victor Liantonio, the salesperson was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient and not pushy. When I returned to set up the lease it was very obvious that the dealership is very organized, they even offered to handle the lease return of my other car which made it a lot easier for me. Meeting with the financing person was quick and efficient. Picking up the car was a breeze, I would definately recommend Wantagh Mazda and would lease or purchase another car from them again!

I went to Wantagh Mazda to check out the Mazda 3. I dealt with Joe Bonavita who was excellent. Not pushy and very honest and knowledgeable! I felt at ease during the whole process. Excellent car dealership! He even got my car when another dealer said they couldn't locate it! He didnt push me on anything he thought I didnt need. I would highly recommend this dealership! They all should be so easy to deal with!

From first visit to just check out the car right through to driving out of the lot with it I was totally comfortable. The salesman was extremely helpful, answering every question I had without ever being pushy. Once the decision was made to purchase the car, everyone in the dealership and shop that we talked to were extremely pleasant. They couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful.

Wantagh Mazda has been great to our company. We leased the CX-5 as a shared company car with Phil Puleo. He was very patient and nice as the process took quite a long time due to the specific needs of our business. We are so happy with the car and the service that we are now in the process of leasing the Mazda 6.We had tried to lease another car from another company's dealership. They were unwilling to work with us and even sold the car we had already signed the paperwork to lease which was already on the insurance. Not only was Phil sympathetic to this but he suggested ways to help resolve the issue or how to get the money back. It was like getting fatherly advice that turned out to be the best solution.Personally, my next car WILL be a Mazda - Zoon, Zoom!

Went to Wantagh Mazda looking for a Mazda 3. Had the pleasure of working with Victor Liantonio. He was everything I liked in a car salesman. Knowledgeable about his product, not pushy, honest when he was not sure about something and not pushing for items that weren't necessary. He understood that I was initially looking and didn't keep pushing the sale. He let me take two long test rides with the i and s models so I could see the difference. I absolutely would recommend him and Wantagh Mazda to anyone shopping for a new car.

I have never been so pleased with a shopping experience in my life, let alone at a car dealership. Victor Liantonio immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome at Wantagh Mazda. Him and his team answered all my questions, let me test drive the car i wanted and provided me with a no obligation quote. Their pricing and great customer service make them a five star place to shop. Their financing rep Kenny Davis was fun and easy going. He made sense of the money and helped me get the deal i wanted. I would recommend this dealer to anyone who wants to buy a car, but doesn't want to hassle a know it all sales rep. Thank you for everything, Matthew Brown.

Rarely is a visit to an auto dealer a pleasant experience. Wantagh Mazda is an exception. It is no exaggeragion to say that you are treated as family. Honesty, fairness, straigh-talk, respect, courtesy, and friendliness may be rare in the industry, but is is common at Wantagh Mazda - from EVERY person there. My new Mazda-3 is the sixth car that our family got at W-M, four of them with Victor's help. We were alwasy treated not just farily, but treated well. Victor was not happy unless we were happy, and that was easy enough in his care. Pricing is always very, very fair, and there is never any of the nonsense, high-pressure tactics, or 'let me talk to the manager' lunacy that goes on elsewhere. The entire experience is actually pleasant, comfortable, easy-going, and I never left W-M thinking I paid too much. I can't imagine buying or leasing a Mazda anywhere else.

I had the fastest, most simple and hassle free experience at Wantagh Mazda with David and Ken. I was on a strict time restraint, as I am moving cross country in 3 days. I spent three and a half weeks being played by COMPETITION SUBARU in Smithtown. They changed my lease rates over 5 times, gave me an offer and took away my deal. Who wants to lose business so badly? I went to Wantagh Mazda utterly distressed. I was able to fax over my credit app prior to arriving. I walked in at 10AM on a Saturday, was approved for the lease already upon arrival. I drove off in my new CX-5 at 1PM. Could not be happier.

I could not have wished for a more simple and hassle free experience. Not only was Victor Liantonio very friendly, he knew so much about the Mazda CX5 and allowed for an extensive test drive to really get a feel for the vehicle. Victor was great and I walked out of the dealership with a brand new Mazda CX5 at a great price! I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone. Over the last couple of months, I dealt with pushy salesman/women, long waits and negotiating nightmares. However, once I started the process with Victor and his sales manager, Joe Stella, it was so easy and straight forward. Don't waste your time at any other dealership. Go to Wantagh Mazda ASAP!!

I had a very pleasant buying experience at the Wantagh Mazda. The sales specialists were honest, friendly, and professional. At other dealerships sales people don't really give customers the time and respect they deserve. I did not feel rushed here and the Wantagh Mazda team spoke with me in a professional and very pleasant manner. I have not had a similar experience at other dealerships. I've previously purchased a Toyota and a Honda through dealerships and Wantagh Mazda was truly superior service. Thanks for your honest courtesy and professionalism.

We are returning Mazda customers particularly because of the wonderful team at Wantagh Mazda. When we walk into the dealership, we feel comfortable. We are treated with respect--not like we are being taken advantage of or like someone is pressuring us to sell us something we don't want. The people are kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and they have a good sense of humor. David Chiari was a very pleasant and phenomenal sales consultant and Kenny Davis efficiently took care of the paperwork and made it a fun experience. They deliver what they promise and work with us not only to lease the current car--but also to make sure that we will come back to Wantagh Mazda for the NEXT car as well. And...we can say that we, very happily, will do just that!

Victor Liantonio is the most honest, knowledgeable salesperson Ive ever met! If I could rate my experience with him from 1-10 Id give him an 11. He was so patient and accommodating when helping me find the car that was perfect for me. Kenny in the finance department was also extremely helpful and kind. I purchased a Mazda3 that I am absolutely thrilled with it! I am recommending Victor and Wantagh Mazda to everyone!

I have purchased many new cars. My last new car purchase at Wantagh Mazda was the best. I went into the dealership as a well informed consumer. I knew what model car I wanted and the price I should pay. I did my research online. David, the sales person and Kenny, the finance manager made the rest of sale process comfortable and smooth! I did not feel pressured at all. I would recommend Wantagh Mazda to anyone looking to buy a Mazda.

I must say that my experience at Wantagh Mazda was better than I expected. My first impressions include a warm welcome, upbeat personnel, and a comfortable atmosphere. I was serviced by Victor who treated me as if I was a family friend and not a buyer. My wife and I are new to leasing cars but Victor, Kenny, and the manager at the time walked us through the process at our own speed. If my experience is as satisfying with my new mazda 6 as it was during my visit, I will definitely return to Wantagh Mazda for my next round of cars. I highly recommend this dealer to both new and experienced buyers.

This is our 3rd vehicle we have leased from Wantagh Mazda. We find them knowledgable and easy to talk to. We were able to test drive the vechicle and inspect the interior. Negotiating the price was done hassle free. I would recommend this dealership.

The simple fact that Wantagh Mazda is still a family owned dealership with real, no pressure sales people is why I keep going back for my families car needs. It's my 4th car from them in the last 5 years and I've had 3 other mazdas on top of that. A 626, 2 miatas, a Mazda 6 and our third Mazda 3. Victor is great! I simply go in knowing what I want, know what I'm gonna spend and he makes it happen. Can't make it easier then that. 1 visit to look and run the numbers, 2 phone calls to arrange details and insurance cards and were picking up our car at a time convenient to us. We use their service dept but don't get to go very frequently because theses cars just don't fail. We use their coupons and get our oil changes done easy peezy no muss no fuss. Our daughters don't even mind going to take the cars in. They just hang out a bit and in a short while and are on their way. I recommend anybody looking for a car to just do their homework and sit down with them. You'll be happy you did. Did I say victor is great...... He is. :)

Victor was an excellent salesman, not high pressure , very friendly and knowledgeable about the car . It was a very pleasant experience test driving and subsequently ordering the car from him

I own several cars and am very familiar with car dealerships. I can say without reservation that David Chiari is the most professional salesmanI have ever dealt with, He was informative and was helpful beyond my expectations. For this reason I would recommend him to my friends and hope to do business with him again in the future. Job well done.

Victor was a wonderful salesman and a pleasure to do business with. Unlike the other dealerships I've been to, the staff at Wantagh Mazda was courteous and not pushy which made the whole experience a lot easier. It felt like their primary concern was not to just make a sale, but to provide the customer with all the information needed to make a decision. I would strongly recommend to anyone interested in a getting a new car to visit Victor; he will take excellent care of you.

We just leased our 4th car from Wantagh Mazda. We have dealt with Phil each time and he has gone above and beyond to help us get the car we want at the price we can afford. He has always treated us like family and does not pressure you into buying a certain model car and lets you test drive any car you want so then we could decide before he works up the numbers. He spends time going over all the features and even set up the bluetooth for us. It is a pleasure working with him and the rest of the staff and makes leasing a car simple without playing games by going back and forth many times for a price like other dealerships do.Also, congrats on the promotion to Sales Manager-you deserve it.

All sales personnel that my wife and I dealt with at Wantagh Mazda made our car buying experience a joy. The best sales people we have ever encountered at a car dealership. It was a non-pressure, laid-back, no nonsense and pleasant sales environment. Our sales person Joe Bonavita was awesome. He made it all a joyful experience for my wife and I. When we picked the car up Joe went over every manual and service that came with the car. In addition, Joe had in depth knowledge of the car we bought. Joe took me out to the car and explained to me the workings of every leaver, nob and button in the car. Joe also set up the Bluetooth for me and if I need additional assistance with any of the controls to give him a call and he will be there for us. In addition to their awesome sales people, I also liked Wantagh Mazda's website. Their website showed all of the cars that are in stock. You can look up the car you're interested in buying and all of the information from the car's sticker is listed there: Price, VIN Number, Stock Number and all equipment included. I have not seen any other car dealer with an honest upfront website like this. I highly recommend Wantagh Mazda.

I have leased two CX5s from Phil. He is courteous, honest, and low pressure. He knows the product and delivers on what he promises. Wantagh Mazdas service department is efficient and trust worthy. I have recommended Phil and the dealership to my neighbor who has leased from them. I will not hesitate to continue to recommend Phil Puelo and Wantagh Mazda to friends and relatives.

We had a great experience at Wantagh Mazda. Everyone was super friendly. Victor was our salesman and he was very helpful in answering all our questions and was not pushy at all. I leased the CX5. It was a quick and easy process, which I was very happy about. I will definitely go back to him when my lease is up.

As a previous owner and lessee of Mazda since 1980 (this being my 6th Mazda), when my 2014 Mazda 6 car was totaled by a driver who lost control of their vehicle in the middle of the night, David Chiari was his usual helpful self in helping me secure a new vehicle. His warmth and empathy upon hearing my misfortune was very comforting It's no wonder why his cubicle walls are covered with awards and words of thanks. Thanks David for helping me through this and for all you do for other potential customers.

I went to 3different dealers and then decided on a Mazda. My last car was 11years old so it had not many options. David was very helpful in showing me how to use them when I decided which car I wanted. So far I am very happy with my cx 5 I also was very happy with the service I received. I would recommend David

This is the fourth car I have purchased at Wantagh Mazda - two for me (CX-7's), one for daughter (Mazda 3) and just now a CX-5 for my son. The staff is the best - knowledgable about product, friendly, and don't try to haggle price and hide anything. I have used Victor all four times and have had great experiences, as well as with Joe Stella, Sales Manager. The sales people appear happy (not at many other dealershipd) because Vin treats them as humans. They aim to please and explain everything. I have used their service department and have had great experiences as well. I highly recommend Wantagh Mazda for product and sales staff!!!

Our overall experience at this dealership was a wonderful one. We had come into this dealership interested in the Mazda 6. David Chiari was the salesperson that greeted us. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable on the mazda vehicles. We felt very comfortable dealing with him and were impressed with the Mazda 6 product as well. Our experience with David was not the typical car salesperson feeling. We did feel as though we were working with a family member and David was able to satisfy all of our needs and concerns. We decided to lease this vehicle and the finalization of paperwork was very easy. The car was also ready for us within that week. We totally recommend dealing with this Mazda dealership and if possible try to seek out David Chiari. You will not be disappointed, he is a wonderful sales consultant!

Mike was phenomenal. Very reasonable and not overly pushy. Everyone was very straightforward and fair. Process didn't take too long which was much appreciated. And all the work that was done behind the scenes to ensure that delivery of the car was equally quick & efficient did not go unnoticed. Will definitely recommend & come back in the future for service and/or sales.

I have been to Wantagh Mazda 3 times over the last 2 years (I only purchased a vehicle this last time, 2 weeks ago) and each experience has been wonderful and completely stress free. That says a lot considering I only purchased a vehicle once. This is a family run business with employees who have worked there for 15 - 20 years. They want your business, have a great product to sell, but they won't pressure you and they don't play games. They try to be as transparent as possible when it comes to pricing so there are no surprises. I highly recommend this dealership.

Honest and Extremely Competitive!!! I recently had the pleasure of leasing a brand new Mazda CX-9 from Wantagh Mazda. Salesman was David Chiari and manager was Phil. This is the second car I've bought from this dealership. They are honest and extremely competitive. They really go that extra mile to earn your business. Not only do I love driving the cars I've purchased, but the experience at Wantagh Mazda made what is sometimes a lengthy and uncomfortable process, friendly and efficient. I'd recommend this dealership, especially my salesman David to any close friend, family member or anyone looking to get into a Mazda. They won't haggle with you. They just try and do right by you. Whatever you do, make sure you stop by this dealership and ask for David. He will take care of you.

Most of the initial negotiation was done by phone as the initial inquiry was over the internet. When we met our rep, Joe B, he was running a little late with an earlier customer, so he tossed us the keys and we took a drive down to the shoreline. Low key, no pressure. Very fair price without any hidden fees or 'bump' from the boss. The car price and trade-in were separate transactions, so no nonsense there. After the sale he took me all through the car, every control, switch, and gadget. I was not rushed out the door.

Just bought a 2014 Mazda6 Touring with manual transmission from Wantagh Mazda. My salesman, Phil Puleo was terrific throughout the entire transaction. I never felt so comfortable during a new car transaction as I felt here. Both my wife and I were treated with respect and intelligence and we never felt pressured or "sold" to. Phil went out of his way to let us thoroughly test drive the car of our choice, as we were buying a car with a manual transmission which is a rare animal around these parts. He didn't have one on the lot, so he called me the moment he had one in so we could take it for a test drive. He simply handed me the keys and said, "go have fun and take as much time as you want." After we decided that we loved the car, the negotiations went just as easily. We wanted a different color than he had on the lot, but he said "no problem" and he would locate our choice from another dealer. There was basically no haggling as right off the bat Phil offered me a very fair price for my trade-in, a very fair asking price for the car, 0.9% financing for 60 months and a an additional $500 Conquest rebate from Mazda. Delivery went smoothly as well with all my ordered options correctly installed and no paperwork snags. NO pressure. Just a fun, relaxing and satisfying car buying experience. This dealer should run classes for all the other HORRIBLE car dealers out there. Again, I HIGHLY recommend Phil Puleo and Wantagh Mazda.

David is a very kind gentleman. I didn't feel pressured or hovered during my experience there. That being said, he was helpful and available throughout the process. If I needed time, he let me process things and look around. If I needed assistance, he was readily available. This suits my personality. I've been to dealers before where the employees were a little too friendly and empty words just seemed to roll off the tongue. That was NOT my experience at Wantagh Mazda. I felt that I could actually hear myself think. I'm a thinker and I need my time to think when I make a big decision or purchase. I was really pleased with my experience.

My experience shopping at Wantagh Mazda was wonderful. David answered all necessary questions while also giving me the space I needed to make a decision in the time period that I wanted. I did not feel rushed in any way. I have had the car for less than a week, and David has already called to see how I am liking it. I would definitely recommend Wantagh Mazda to friends and family and also recommend David as the best employee to work with.

Dealerships for the most part are the worst. You are lucky if you can get a decent salesman and then you go to the financial managers and that is usually like walking into the lions cage. Not at Wantagh Mazda. David Chiari is a great person and excellent salesman and I would send family and friends to him. Next stop financial with Joe Stella and Kenny Davis. They were honest and direct which was refreshing. Dealerships should stop in and visit these gentlemen and take some pointers from them. I will return for another Mazda.

When I walked into Wantagh Mazda I was actually happy to see that it was a small intimate sales floor. Victor took me out to test drive the CX-5 and not once did I feel like he was pushing the car on me. He just let me drive and we talked...he has a great personality. When we got back Phil sat down with me and wrote down every pricing detail, down to taxes and DMV charges. In the end, the monthly payment he told me was the monthly payment I got. He even worked with me a bit. There is no back room that they disappear into and leave you sitting there by yourself. No hidden charges, no gimmicks, no bait and switch. Everything and everyone is out there in the open. I met with Kenny to finalize my financing and paperwork, and he was not the typical "Finance Guy", meaning he was a pleasure to work with. Not once did I feel pressure to buy from anyone on the staff. I made 3 trips, and the total time spent there from test drive to ownership was 2 hours. The icing on the cake...my beautiful new Mazda CX-5! Victor even sat in the car with me and went over every button. I'm a very happy customer.

I came to Wantagh Mazda after being put through the ringer at other car dealerships. When I finally decided on a Mazda I came here, my cousin recently leased from this dealership and recommended it highly. From the moment I walked in, I was treated very differently from the previous dealerships I visited. They really wanted to work to help me and did not play games which was appreciated. David Chiari was great, friendly and efficient. Everything I asked for, he made happen. No pressure and great customer service. Kenny Davis was a breathe of fresh air after dealing with the finance department at the other dealerships. He is truely on your side. I left there feeling confident (and not defeated) that I was getting everything I was looking for at a fair price. If only all dealerships could operate as honestly and with the customer truely in mind as this one. Needless to say, I was very happy with the experience from beginning to end and absolutely love my new Mazda CX-5! Thank you David and Kenny for being such a pleasure to work with.

He was very informative with any questions that I had for him. He also has a wonderful sense of humor as we shared some laughs together. I recommend Victor and Wantagh Mazda if anyone is in search of a new car!Ken R.

My husband and I leased a 2014 Mazda CX 5 touring, David made the entire experience pressure free. Honestly my husband and I have been looking for a new car on and off for a about a year and a half. We have been eye balling a few cars and went to other dealers but we walked away from many of them due to the high sales pressure and the BS sales employees would say. Wantagh Mazda does NOT do that at all there were no games played at all and David was excellent! Even after leasing our new car the next day (sunday) we noticed a big dent and scratches in an area on the car my husband immediately called and left a message for David, he returned our call the next business day and told us to bring the vehicle in. We did so and that is when Joe Stella got involved he was extremely tentative and apologetic. I was very concerned about other damage that may have been done to car that we did not know about and the dealer didn't either since car came from an offsite warehouse , but Joe kept reassuring me the car would be in perfect condition and even went as far as offering us an upgrade with remote start! Well we got car back yesterday and he was on the money, the car is PERFECT! Wantagh Mazda is great especially for putting up with my persistent phone calls and questions! Thank you David and Joe! We would definetly lease/buy another vehicle here in the future!

I LEASED A NEW 2014 MAZDA CX-9 AT WANTAGH MAZDA. THIS IS MY FAMILY'S 3RD CX-9. OUR 1ST CX-9 WAS A 2009 MODEL THAT WAS REAR-ENDED IN A 7 CAR COLLISION IN JUNE OF 2011. THAT VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS, BUT BOTH MY SON & HIS GIRLFRIEND WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT WITHOUT A SCRATCH. WE ARE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SAFETY ATTRIBUTES OF THE CX-9 AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. WANTAGH MAZDA HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS WITH SERVICE THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE. IN PARTICULAR, PHIL PULEO IS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. PHIL IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE REGARDING THE VEHICLE, AND THE VARIOUS FINANCING PROGRAMS OFFERED BY MAZDA. I HAVE BOUGHT AND LEASED MANY VEHICLES THROUGH THE YEARS,AND WORKED WITH MANY SALES PEOPLE-NO ONE THAT I HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH BEFORE CAN MATCH MR. PHIL PULEO. WANTAGH MAZDA IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE AN EMPLOYEE OF HIS CALIBER. TOM OLLQUIST, FEBRUARY 2014.

I can't thank David Chiari and Joe Stella of Wantagh Mazda enough for helping me make my car purchase a pleasant experience in the end. I was torn between the CX5 and CX9, and they were very patient and helpful in closing a deal that was hard to pass up. I have to say I had a meltdown about a final color choice at the last minute, and thank you to Kenny Davis who went above and beyond to take me through the lot in the freezing cold, and show me a couple of other options. Not exactly the way to start off a Monday morning, but he was very reassuring that I had made the right choice and that I would be completely satisfied with my final decision. I picked up my 3rd CX9 yesterday and I am totally thrilled. I have to say that they all lead me in the right direction, and I am very grateful. See you again .....Thank You!!!!

From the moment my husband and I decided to trade in our old Chevy for a new car I was dreading the process. We had just leased a new car last year. The entire process took five hours, we met with multiple people, had to deal with the whole back and forth for the "lowest price" only to have the price change when we went to sign the paperwork. While I love the car, I told my husband if I never go through that again it'll be too soon. I went on dealerrater and was determined to find a dealer who was different. I came across Wantagh Mazda and was impressed by all of Phil's positive reviews so I figured I'd give him a call. I'm very happy to say that none of his praise has been exaggerated. As I was telling my sister-in-law, if we had bought the car from family, the process could not possibly have been more relaxed and stress free. I cannot overstate how impressed I was with Phil Puleo. He was never pushy, explained everything thoroughly, the price was exactly as we had agreed and he went out of his way to get the color we wanted from a dealer in CT. All of the paperwork was ready when we went to go pick up the car. We finished the paperwork and he went over the details of the new car and that was it. I couldn't believe it was so simple and we were actually done. We never met with anyone but Phil and he never once tried to upsell us on anything. The car itself, a Mazda6, is beautiful, very comfortable and drives very well. Phil gave us a great deal and I would definitely recommend Phil to others looking for a new Mazda. We'll definitely be back!Thanks Phil!

My salesperson Victor Liantonio was a very knowledgeable salesperson with an outgoing personality that was not obnoxious. At no time did I feel any pressure when negotiating the deal. He took his time with me and answered all my questions. It was as if he was taking a personal interest in me and did not treat me like other salespeople have in the past. As a matter of fact my whole experience at Wantagh Mazda rates nothing but rave reviews. This is a place I would definitely go back to and I would certainly ask for Victor.

The dealer reps were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was at the dealership 3x. The first time was to get info and pricing on multiple vehicles. Both Vin and Phil were helpful in assisting and answering questions. The second time I went for e test drive and made a commitment to the Mazda 6. The third time Dave helped me finalize all the paperwork and I drove away in my new 2014 Mazda 6. The entire process took no more than 2 hours with/at the dealer during my entire 3 stops and test drive. I was never pressured and was treated like I was family throughout the entire process. As soon as I was ready to commit, they made the final paperwork quick and painless. This has been one of the most pleasant experiences I have had buying/leasing a new car. This was not the first time dealing with Wantagh Mazda and certainly will not be the last. We have also recommended other friends and family to look at Mazda and many of them were just as happy when the purchased at Wantagh Mazda.

Phil Puleo is hands down the most best, most professional car salesman I have ever bought a car from. None of the typical nonsense. He talks to you like he's a real person, not some robot caricature of a car dealer. I have gotten two Mazdas from him in the past year!

Phil was great to work with! When I first arrived, I wasn't sure which car I was interested in, so he walked me through the show room and went through the details of each car I was interested in. I finally decided on the CX-5, and I love it! Phil searched for the car I wanted and we had it within a week. He went through everything with me when I iced the car up and absolutely love my new Mazda!! I would highly recommend Phil if you are in the market for a new Mazda!!

Had a great experience purchasing a new car from Victor at Wantagh Mazda. Victor was handling my transaction as well as making other deliveries on a busy Saturday. The sales staff pitched in to assist him all working together as a team. We made a clean deal without the usual snake oil tactics car salesman are known for. I would purchase my next car from this dealer and recommend them to friends and family.

I leased three vehicles for the family a few years ago at Wantagh Mazda and the experience was flawless. Now it was time to turn in those vehicles and lease new ones. I worked with the same staff, who remembered me, my needs, and made the process equally as easy and comfortable the second time around. A special shout out to Victor Liantonio.

Feb 1, 2014

I would recommend my salesman, Victor Liantonio to anyone interested in purchasing or leasing a new Mazda. Victor was very informative about the CX-5 and explained it's features during our test drive. When we came back to drive it again he was more than willing to comply.He did not pressure us into a sale and that was a pleasant change from my last lease experiences with Atlantic Toyota. When we arrived to pick up the car all the paperwork was ready for signatures and turning in my leased Toyota was handled smoothly.Overall it was a pleasurable experience and look forward to returning there for my next Mazda purchase/lease.

Top dealership. Phil searched all over the East Coast to find the car I wanted and finally got one from Pennsylvania. He not only gave me a good price but also spent over 2 hours at delivery to explain all the switches and functions of the Mazda 3. He even made my first no cost appointment for service for me. This was the most complete and best delivery of any car I've had.

THAT IS WHY SINCE THEN WE HAVE BOUGHT AND LEASED SEVERAL CARS FROM HIM AT WANTAGH MAZDA AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.WE JUST CAME HOME WITH OUR NEW CX9 VERY PLEASED WITH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE.

Upon arrival Kenny took care of all our needs. I needed a car big enough to hold three grandchildren, and easy on my back. My husband wanted style (and the color red). Kenny suggested the CX5-Touring and we took it out for a ride, no questions asked. Sitting over coffee we made the decision to purchase - no pressure at all! Paperwork was handled with precision and ease, our car would be ready the next day! Talk about service! Next day was a snowstorm, Kenny called up and suggested we don't pick up due to icing. Upon arrival to pick up all I had to do was sign the final papers and off I go. Dave set in motion explaining my new car. Not an easy task for someone like me. He was attentive to all my many questions and didn't rush at all. He set up my bluetooth and even my radio stations! He assured me that I could come back anytime with any further questions. Kenny went above and beyond with listening to what we needed; and he came through! I love my new car! Thank you Kenny and Dave.

My gf and i were looking for a new crossover SUV and ended up visiting Wantagh mazda to look at the cx5. Victor helped us take a look at the car, the different cars, options, packages and was quick to offer a test drive. My favorite part of Victor was the fact that he got to the point of the sale; we wanted a new car so he showed us the price, the options and allowed us to discuss it. He is not the type of sales guy that attempts to be overly friendly where it becomes awkward, but instead he is very down to earth. He will not call you the next day to ask how your day is going, instead he will tell you the deal is on the table and if you wish to come back he will be glad to help you. This did not change after we had agreed on everything and was very courteous when it came to calling us and updating us on the day of the car pick up. I could not possibly have asked for better, he gave us a great price and great experience. If you have any doubts about this car dealership or about Victor, please go visit and check it for yourself.

Great person to deal with. He is an animal lover and so are we. We always find that animal people are easy to deal with and there was no exception here.

This is my third lease with Wantagh Mazda. I find the staff easy to deal with and extremely helpful. The last time I leased Ken found a bunch of coins in the car that I had forgotten about and brought them to me! This is also my third time dealing with Victor, who is knowledgeable as could be. The manager, Joe, has been as pleasant and helpful as possible. There is nothing bad to be said about any of the staff I have encountered in the past six years + I have been dealing with this dealership.

David was wonderful. He made Mike and I feel very comfortable through the entire process. We are always guarded when we walk into a dealership because we never know what to expect from the sales person we talk to. But we were pleasantly surprised working with David. Thank you David for such a nice experience. Sincerely,Kristie Szypula

Phil was very knowledgeable, kind and not at all pushy as other salesmen were from other dealerships. Any questions we had about the car were answered ever before we had the chance to ask them(i loved this personally). My husband and I purchased the CX-5 Touring in navy blue with beige leather with the Tech package, 1/18/14, and it is just beautiful. The quality is wonderful and the Bose sound system just sweetened the pot. We can't wait to start enjoying this car and all it has to offer. We would recommend Wantagh Mazda to everyone.

We just purchased a new Mazda3 from this dealership and it was a thoroughly pleasurable experience. The salesman, David Chiari was most helpful, courteous and friendly. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase. He explained the features of the different models we were interested in and the cost of each. We did a lot of research on the Mazda3 before we went to the dealership and David was able to meet our budget with what we feel was very competitive and fair pricing. I would definitely recommend this dealership and David Chiari to family and friends.

Victor was very personable and knowledgeable of all the features of the cars. He was very helpful in determining the perfect car that fit my needs. After purchasing the car, Victor took the time to explain and personally show me how to use features in the car. Overall, a great experience.

Recently leased my first Mazda from Wantagh Mazda, and I expect it to be the first of many - as others have stated, was unlike anyprevious dealership experience - they treat you like a real person! Joe B. was great from the start - friendly, patient, knowledgeable and HONEST - never felt rushed, pressured or under the gun to make a quick decision - Joe went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and my budget - worked with just him through the entire process - also unlike previous experiences - when bad weather forced a last minutechange in pick-up day, Joe was courteous and professional about it, and it worked out fine for everyone - turned in my old lease and switched the plates right over to the new one - stayed with me on a cold night to go over all features and even link up my cell phone - highly recommend Joe Bonavita and Wantagh Mazda - came all the way from Brooklyn, well worth the trip!

I purchased my first car from Wantagh Mazda in 2007 from Victor. From the day I bought my car I have never had any problems or regrets. Because of this great experience I decided to purchase my second car from Wantagh Mazda. When we first entered the dealership, Victor was not available, but Ken was. We did inform him that we purchased our first car from Victor and was looking to work with him again. He had no problem giving Victor the recognition for the sale. Ken did a great job in helping us decide which car and and whether a lease or a purchase was the better option for me. He was informative and patient while we asked questions and made a decision. After I purchased the car, from then on I dealt with Victor. He kept me updated about the insurance papers and called me to set up a day and time to come and pick up the car. Victor is very helpful, informative, and accommodating. After picking up my car, Victor called me the next day to ask how the car was and he set up a 1 month appointment for me. He does his job well and is genuinely concerned that you will love your new car. My experience the second time was just as great as the first, if not better. I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends.

David worked with me to obtain a price I could afford. In addition I received the exact car I was looking for quickly. He was very patient as I described what I could afford and the features I wanted in my Mazda 3. Since this was my first car and the experience made me feel like a valued customer I was very excited to pick up my car. It was ready in less than 1 day and when I arrived it had a big red bow on it just like the commercial! I would recommend dealing with David because he will work with you as much as he can. I will be returning when it is time for another Mazda. I've had the car for 2 weeks and absolutely love it! Thank you so much David!!!

This is the second car in a row I've leased through Wantagh Mazda. They always give you a great deal without the hassle that most dealers give you, don't try to sneak in any "fine print" or "additional fees," and make the whole process very easy and stress-free. Phil was extremely helpful and attentive - he even gave me his cell number and made himself available on New Year's Eve and the weekend so that I could get the car in the timeframe I needed it. I highly recommend the car, the dealership, and Phil!

Victor was recommended to me by a friend, and I am happy I followed through. He was a pleasure to work with, always available when I needed him, with the right answers and a pleasant smile. He laid down my fair price, with a Costco incentive, and I was unable to find anything better, even on TrueCar.com. I never felt like I had to bargain. The process was simple and smooth. Car was ready for me and has been more than I hoped for in quality. For some reason, Wantagh Mazda charges an $80 registration transfer fee, when I know it only costs $10 through the DMV, so that was a little disappointing, but so close to the end of negotiations, I just let it go. I like that they are closed on holidays and Sundays. Wantagh Mazda truly feels like a buyers' dealer. If you're looking for a Mazda, let this place be your first, and most likely only stop.

Our experience at Wantagh Mazda was great. We were researching car prices and Wantagh had one of the better overall prices for the model we were looking at; we read a lot of good reviews about the dealership. The experience was friendly, relaxed and no-pressure. Phil answered all our questions and gave us lots of space to think and discuss between ourselves. He was very patient (we came back a second time in the afternoon), helpful and upfront. The entire staff was great, actually. We weren't shown anything we didn't ask for nor pressured to buy more than we were interested in. It felt like they were there to help us buy the car we needed, not make money off us.We would definitely buy another car from them again and we are recommending Phil to our friends.

From the moment we walked in and spoke with Phil until the moment we drove away with our new Mazda 6, Phil was an attentive, friendly, courteous salesperson. He kept us informed through every step of the purchase. We never felt rushed or pushed into a decision. We left with a sense that Phil was really working for us.The sales management all were friendly and took our calls when we needed them.

No waiting around. Knowledgable & friendly sales consultant (Phil Puleo). Phil answered all questions, encouraged us to take test drive (which we did). Lots of models on floor to check out. Addressed us a 'family' (answering my wife and son's questions too). Finally - NO HIGH PRESSURE! This is a good thing, otherwise we would've left immediately.

I was on the fence about buying a new car or keeping my old car for a few more years when I stopped at Wantagh Mazda to take a look around. Victor Liantonio came over and asked if I had any questions. I told him I was interested in looking at the CX-5. He explained the difference between the 3 models. Since I wanted leather seats he said they could do an optional leather package without having to purchase the grand touring version. He then handed me a brochure with his card and said to call if I had any questions. It was so refreshing to meet a nice down to earth salesman who was not pushy or annoying. I took a look around the lot on my way out and found the car I wanted so I called Victor later to setup an appointment. Victor was great, giving me breakdowns of various payment options and buy vs. lease options. In fact all of the salesman at this Dealership were extremely friendly and cordial. I picked up my car today and Victor walked me through the controls and sync'd the phone for me, etc. He took his time to answer any questions I had and did not rush me. I will definitely recommend Victor and Wantagh Mazda to all my friends for their courteous and professional salesmen and their great cars.

It was a very easy process.....Not sure why getting a car should be so stressful or difficult. I worked with this dealership in the past and back then it was great!!! Why go anywhere else? Unfortunately, I did and was very disappointed with the dealership in Garden city as I was back in the past when I went in there. I thought I would give them another try.....No change. Horrible then and still horrible, they should be closed down!

My wife has leased her last 3 Mazdas with Victor so it only felt right to get my feet wet with my first Mazda experience with Victor. Now we are really a part of the Mazda family. Victor is very knowledgable about the cars and strives to give you the best deal. We will not lease with any other dealer.

Came to this dealership after searching on the internet for a local Mazda dealership and email contact with Joe. Had a terrible experience with Millenium Mazda in Garden City the Saturday prior in attempting to purchase a CX-5 and wanted to find a straight forward dealer with no gimmicks or empty promises. Went in today to see Joe at 12:30 PM, and had the deal done with in less then an hour no hassles, picked up the car we wanted by 4:30 PM same day and I am extremely satisfied. It was a true pleasure working with Joe and would highly recommend him and this dealership if you want a Mazada. Price and service was a surprisingly pleasant experience.

I recently went in to purchase a 2014 Mazda 6 at the Wantagh Mazda. I was greeted by an individual named Victor Liantonio. He offered great customer service from start to finish. He is a very well knowledge'd salesperson and extremely reasonable when talking about price and features. Another individual who was extremely helpful was Kenny Davis. Thanks to Kenny, he was capable of helping me with the financing portion of the deal. These two individuals went above and beyond in order for me have such a great experience in purchasing a new vehicle. I would 100% highly recommend coming to Wantagh Mazda if you are in the market for purchasing a vehicle.

Though I enjoy the idea of car shopping (looking at new cars and getting the chance to try out and experience them) it's the idea of the grind and the hustle that I generally dread. If I find a dealership that I like, that works well with me, and doesn't give the high pressure sale I'll tend to gravitate to that dealership, and dealer in particular. I honestly can't speak enough praises about Phil and Wantagh Mazda. Specifically, here's why.I only dealt with Phil. I've had it happen at other dealers where I would spend hours with a salesman going through the car, the deal, and finally settling on a price only be handed off to the dreaded "second guy." He would try and tack on more costs and fees onto the price that I had spent time working on. Phil didn't do that. I only dealt with him and the price he quoted me on day one was the price I paid, no gimmicks or tricks. He showed me exactly where the cost came from and was upfront and honest the whole time. I never felt like he was trying to pull one over on me.When I needed something answered Phil spent the time to look it up and get back to me. This is important. I understood that he had other customers but he also understood that for me to be a content customer I needed to feel that all of my questions were answered. All in all, I was quite content with the level of detail and personal service that I received, both at the dealership and when I was away and speaking with him over the phone.He didn't just throw me the keys and say good luck. He made sure that I understood all of the features of the car before I drove away. He made sure I was content with the color and he made sure that I chose the right car for me. If I had asked for more time he would have given it to me. In other words when he was working with me, he was working with me. And conversely, when I called and he was working with someone else he told me he'd call me back and he did but he worked with the customer he was with. I respect that and wouldn't want it any other way.One other thing that impressed me was that when I went in to finalize the car he asked me if I wanted to drive it again. He knew I was coming to get the car yet he still asked. I know it may seem small, but to me it's those small things that differentiate the tiers of dealers and Wantagh Mazda is the best I've dealt with thus far.All in all, I never felt rushed or pressured. He took his time and was upfront, not waiting with some phantom deal in the back in case I walked out the door. And the price I was told was what I paid, no hidden anything at the end. Phil was honest, friendly, and fair. I am very glad I went there and I know I'll be there again for my next car. Thanks Phil.

I have been going to Wantagh Dealership for the past 9 years. This is my third leased car from them. The staff is extremely friendly and do their utmost best to find you the best car at the right price. Both Victor and Phil helped me get the perfect car with the right price. Victor had helped me get my previous 2 Mazda6 cars and I have been very satisfied with their help and I would absolutely recommend others to come visit them.

I visited wantagh Mazda to upgrade my car- the mazda 6 Sport to Mazda 6 Touring or the CX- 5. I went to this dealership first because i had purchased a mazda 3 there in 2005. David Chiari was the salesman who sold the mazda 3 to me so I went there again to see if he would be able to help me.David does not use a high pressure sales pitch to sell cars. He is lowkey and not overbearing or loud.I also like his British accent.He did not follow me all over the showroom badgering me. He pointed out the vehicles i was interested in and would walk away but come back to check on me or see if i had any questions. he was also patient with me when i had work conflicts and had to reschedule coming in to sign papers and picking up the car.I was hoping, of course, that i would get more on my trade in and hoping they could include the remote start in the price of the car, but i think it was a good deal overall and David made me feel welcome to call and ask questions if i have any problems with the car after i purchased it. I will go back again when i am in the market for a new car and I would refer this dealership and David to anyone interested in buying a car.

I went to Wantagh Mazda for my first leasing experience and was able to lease a 2013 Mazda 3, I dealt specifically with Victor Liantonio although the other individuals at Mazda were extremely helpful as well. Victor was upfront and explained all the details of the leasing process so when it came time to actually lease the car there were no unexpected fees. The gentlemen there give the customer the best offer right off the bat and make what usually is a some what nerve racking experience in leasing or buying a car a quick enjoyable and easily understandable one.

I never ever felt any pressure at all from these men,they only wanted my make my buying experience a pleasure. From the second we walked into the dealship we felt like family. I would highly recommend wantagh mazda to everyone,they sold me a car that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted the car to have leather seats and the car I loved didnt have them, yes they put leather seats in for me!!!!!GREAT DEALERS!!!!!

I had the pleasure to work with Victor. He is not pushy and does not make you feel like you are asking too many questions. Very responsive. Not only was he a friendly salesman, he goes the extra mile to bring in cars that are not even available in the state in a matter of days. Overall a satisfying experience. Ended up deciding to get the all new 2014 Mazda 3 from start to finish took less than 5 days.

When I walked in the Mazda dealership, I had met David. He was knowledgeable, extremely competent and by no means a pushy salesman. In my book he was a professional at what he does. He knew the vehicle that I wanted to purchase in depth and was able to explain it in detail. He helped me decide what had value to me and what didn't according to my needs. I had decided to purchase the vehicle, through various phone conversations, David had prepared all the necessary paperwork for the purchase. When I arrived, all my paperwork was complete and in order, it was exactly what we had spoke about in detail and he was not in a rush to get rid of me. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is interested in purchasing a Mazda vehicle, so they will have the same wonderful experience I had.

From the first interaction Victor was friendly, helpful, approachable and NOT pushy which was a new experience for us. We went to Mazda first and were pleasantly surprised that the experience was actually pleasant and not painful, as had been our experience in the past, at other dealers. Victor went with us on the test drive because we wanted to ask him questions as we drove. We continued looking at new cars for about another 2 weeks but after looking at many models we were impressed with the Mazda. We returned and took another test drive with a different salesman but waited until Victor was there to buy the car. So far I am enjoying the car immensely! Thank you Victor, you're the best!!

Went to dealer and Spoke to David. He quoted me a fair price for the car I wanted. When they could not obtain the color requested they went as far as Rhode Island to bring it in. When we sat down there were no games, no hard sells and no change of terms and all the nonsense that usually makes me walk to another dealer. Professional job all the way.

I never like buying a new car because of the way most dealerships handle themselves. I saw the new Mazda 3 and decided that was the car for me so I headed to my local dealership Wantagh Mazda. The staff was very friendly and helpful in all aspects of buying my car. There was never any pressure before, during, or after my purchase. My sales representative was Victor Liantonio. He was extremely helpful and was able to answer all my questions. I test drove both models, the base and high end, something i had never been offered before (its usually just the high end) so I would "see and feel the differences in the cars and get the right one for me". The car I purchased was ready on time and Victor went through all of the technology with me before i left the dealership. The entire process was totally hassle free!This purchase was the best new car buying experience I have had. Wantagh Mazda is a family owned business and buying a car with Victor is like buying a car from your favorite uncle.I highly recommend this dealership for a friendly, pressure free buying experience.

I never imagined that my first "looking for a new car" experience would be so friendly and painless. Wantagh Mazda provided the exact opposite of what many people view as a "typical" car dealership experienceThe need for a new vehicle came quite abruptly for me, and the search for a new car was not something I was looking forward to. I spent the first day of looking at a Mitsubishi and Toyota dealership, both of which made me feel uncomfortable, not to mention the 4 phone calls a day. Mom has had a CX-7 for two years now and could not be happier. The CX-5 was my favorite car on the road, but felt out of my budget. I came to Mazda out of sheer curiosity, knowing the CX-5 was most likely outside of my budget. Immediately after walking in, I felt like part of their family. One of Victors associate made us a fresh pot of coffee to start while a trade-in assessment was being made. Victor and my mother caught up for a bit and we got to know each other. After a test drive I knew I wanted the car, but was concerned about the price and what I could afford. After conveying that I truly only wanted a basic model with AWD, I was shocked at the deal they offered me, truly lower than I expected. Joe the manager and Victor listened to all my concerns and we eventually came to an agreement. I was able to get the roof racks and cross bars for my bike rack and they even included the Bluetooth audio package which is incredible. I signed the lease on the spot that evening, knowing this was the right choice. Signing the lease was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Knowing I was soon to be driving my favorite car on the road, at a price tag I could afford was something I could have never expected a few days prior. Picking up the vehicle was surreal. Victor took my back into the service department to see the car and meet the maintenance crew. Gary was quite friendly and welcoming, and after meeting him, I knew my car would be in good hands in the future. I never expected the car to look as awesome as it did. The color is spectacular, with the roof rails adding a great sporty flavor. Driving off the lot for the first time gave me a great sense of accomplishment and success, knowing I have worked hard over the past few years to reach the point where I was able to afford this myself. Victor, Joe and the whole team were absolutely incredible. I know that anytime I am there, I will be treated like family, and that makes all the difference where car dealerships are a dime a dozen. I have already recommended the Wantagh Mazda dealership to all of my friends, knowing they will all have a great experience and get a great deal!

What a smooth and friendly purchase. We went to the dealership Saturday got the car Monday. Phil provided me with full assurance that it was the car that I'd want and it definitely was. He showed me all the bells and whistles of the car as well brought me out to take it for a great test drive. I can confidently say to go to Phil for a straightforward and professional experience.

Working with Victor of Wantagh Mazda was one of the more pleasurable experiences I've had considering all the years of purchasing and leasing vehicles. Victor was "hands on" and the car was prepped and delivered on time. Should my new vehicle meet all my expectations I will most likely work with Vic on my next purchase or lease in the near future.

I went to Wantagh Mazda to test drive a CX5 and expected to find the usual pushy salespeople. I was pleasantly surprised after speaking with Victor Liantonio. He is well informed and very personable. I test drove the car and decided to buy it. The no haggle policy was refreshing. Victor facilitated the entire purchase and now I have a great car. I hope the car treats me as well as he did. Overall a great experience.

Phil is an exceptional salesperson. He is very knowledgeable and did not rush us. He encouraged us to test drive the cars we were interested in. He even suggested a route including the local highway. This may sound strange, but Phil made the whole experience of selecting and purchasing our Madza a stressfree and pleasureable event. He is a professional and thorough and we will recommend him and Wantagh Madza to others.

This was my second time buying a new car but my very first experience at Wantagh Mazda. When I walked through the door, I was greeted with friendly hello's and was taken care of right away. After a few seconds, I was introduced to Victor who approached me with professionalism along with a warming smile. Prior to my visit, I had done preliminary research on the car that I was interested in however, I was completely blown away by the knowledge Victor had on all Mazda cars. He instructed that I take the car of my interest out for a test drive where I was able to get completely comfortable with the vehicle and all of its functions. When I arrived back to the dealership, I was awaiting a pushy salesman who wanted nothing more but I sale. The experience I had after that was the complete opposite. Victor took the time and energy to listen to my needs and what exactly I was looking for. For the three hours I had spent with him, there was no point in time in which I felt that this was just a sale. There were no gimmicks or lines but complete honestly and forthcoming. He completely changed my point of view on what car salesman should be and honestly, ALL car salesmen should be just like Victor. I was then introduced to the Manager, Joe who was just as professional and friendly. They both made my experience a great one and moving forward, can now only see myself in a car from Wantagh Mazda. Thank you Victor and the entire Wantagh Mazda team for making this such a wonderful experience!

The sale man did not try to sell something we didn't want. He listened to what we wanted and why and worked out the best deal for us.The car was ready for me when I went to pick it up, he showed me the controls and how to work them and had clearly remembered what had been discussed 5 days earlier. Friendly without being creepy!!!

Spent a lot of time waiting for help but once Victor started helping us, it was a quick, easy and even enjoyable car buying process.
