Bad Service and Sales for repeat client Since 2000 I have purchased 3 Acura and leased another for a total of 4 major transactions. I have two tales to tell, Back in 2013 I tried to buy my Since 2000 I have purchased 3 Acura and leased another for a total of 4 major transactions. I have two tales to tell, Back in 2013 I tried to buy my 4 car (5th transaction) and called my sales person. I received a ball park figure for an left over 2012 MDX. I also price the car using Edmunds. To my surprise I was receiving quotes of $1500 less than from Island. I called my salesman back and left a message to call me so we can discuss pricing. After spending over $120,000 with the dealership I didn't even receive the courtesy of a return call. Needless to say I purchased my MDX at Smithtown Acura who treated me like a lifelong client. Fast forward to this April, my 20009 TL is 20 days put of warranty. On the internet I find a service bulletin for a intermittent oil pressure warning light. My car was in to Island Acura two times for that exact problem. When I went back I said, no brainer, the car has been here for this problem twice which they failed to remedy so they will honor my request. I could not have been more wrong! I was treated like I never did business with them I was told to call Acura if I didn't like it. I did but Acura was not helpful but sent me a coupon for a free oil change. Since my next car will be a Mercedes, I guess I won be using it. More

The made it so easy to buy a car. It was a great experience. I thought I picked out what I wanted- a different manufacturer. However, the shopping experience for the car I wanted was just awful, awful, awful. I thought I picked out what I wanted- a different manufacturer. However, the shopping experience for the car I wanted was just awful, awful, awful. So I started looking elsewhere. The first alternative was Island Acura. My husband had bought a used car there 6 years ago and the experience was great then and the car still runs perfectly. So we returned. In just a couple of hours, I had test drove a few cars and easily made a purchase. Then I went back for the financing and that was a breeze too. No misrepresentations, no high pressure sale. We are life customers now. We are very grateful to Tim, Peter and Rob. -the Edelstein family More

The Best of The Best What an incredible dealership. I've been amazed with by the way this dealership salesman welcomed my bro and I. John LaRosa is such an enthusiastic du What an incredible dealership. I've been amazed with by the way this dealership salesman welcomed my bro and I. John LaRosa is such an enthusiastic dude, honest and very reliable. I brought in my 2014 Kia Cadenza to trade in for a 2016 MDX and they offered a great deal beyond my expectation. John was so professional that The sales manager Peter Dee didn't even have to get up to talk to us. In less than an hour, my brother and I agreed on a happy deal, made a deposit on the car and left with a happy face. I have been to lots of dealerships and by far, Island Acura is the only dealership where I spent less time discussing a deal. Moreover, they were so proud of my combat service in the military and numerously thanked me. My wife, my kids and I picked up our vehicle and are so happy. If you are in need of a luxury car, don't even sweat it, please go to Island of Acura and see John. I'm so proud of them and I highly recommend Island Acura to anyone thinking of Luxury. Blessed!

"Great Overall Experience!!!" My wife and I had the privilege of working with John LaRosa when trading in our Infiniti JX for our new MDX. With this being our first experience wit My wife and I had the privilege of working with John LaRosa when trading in our Infiniti JX for our new MDX. With this being our first experience with trading in a lease early, John helped in making the entire process simple and stress free. John was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. He was very attentive to our needs, knowledgable about the vehicles in the showroom, and easy to talk to. Although we didn't deal with other other employees directly, everyone in the showroom was very courteous and friendly. I highly recommend Island Acura to anyone in the market for an Acura. More

During the process of choosing a vehicl We worked with John LaRosa to buy a CPO MDX. John was attentive, courteous and was easy to communicate with. During the process of choosing a vehicle my wife and I had many questions spread throughout a week. John was quick to respond and was always clear with his answers. As for price on our MDX? We walked out feeling that we received a very fair deal with minimal effort. Under the leadership of Frank Onolfi, Island Acura is a no-nonsense dealership. Each time I came I was welcomed by name by not only John LaRosa, but Frank, Tony and the finance manager, Rob O'Connor. Speaking of financing...we walked in and negotiated our price knowing that we had a pre-approved loan from BFCU. While finishing the deal Rob asked if he could try to beat my rate. Within minutes he came back with a rate 20% less than the going used car rate at BFCU. Typically I feel the need to take a shower after meeting with the finance department at a car dealership to wash off all the slime. Not this time! The meeting with Rob was a pleasure as he conducted his business like a true gentleman. If you are anywhere remotely close to Island Acura you need to give them a try. They conduct business the right way by selling a great product at a fair price. More
