Dishonest. Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave witho Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave without the headache. Especially if you deal with Eli. Incompetent liar. If you're wise to their tactics you will find numerous ways that they try to screw you over. Bunch of losers from sales, to finance, and straight to the manager. I made a mistake of ordering my vehicle through VW's website to this dealer and was forced to relinquish my order because of their inflated in-house only financing rates, 7k over sticker on a car that I ordered b.s., and sneaky fake discounts they try to make you think that your getting while they essentially steal your State and Federal tax rebates from you by inflating the sticker price. Fyi for anyone that is still reading this, I sat down with that loser Eli on a Saturday worked out a deal that I was unhappy with and took notes every step of the way. On Monday I go to pick up the car and they raised the price on me by 2k without telling me. Seems like when I squeezed them up on my trade-in a couple grand, which by the way was nearly fair market value, they then increased the sticker price on me to compensate for that and I noticed at the finance desk. You have to look at their computer to see whats going on. Eli intentionally writes the order so that its barely comprehensible, supposedly reflecting that I'm paying 5K over sticker the price but in the computer system its different. Definitely take notes to compare at the end. I brought it to the Managers attention and he could have cared less. Would not honor the previously agreed upon 5k over sticker. "This is the price". He said I didnt know basic math. There isnt a auto loan calculator on the internet that could possibly figure out the monthly payment that they set up for me. Who the xxxx knows what else they were lying to me about. After this I had enough and walked out. Also note: Forget about getting your own loan. They will only allow financing through their affiliated banks in which they receive a kickback while screwing you over on the interest rate regardless of how good your credit is. Tell me that prime rate is 6%.. not a chance. I called my back and on speaker phone they said 4%. Extremely greedy. And... Shame on VW USA for setting up a pre-order system this bad. More

I had visited one other Our sales rep, Christopher Valentine, was a pleasure to deal with. He was a true professional throughout the whole purchase. I had visited one other VW dealership on LI and the sales rep was a sleazeball. I highly reccomend this dealership, and Chris in particular to anyone purchasing a VW.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Courteous, No Nonsense! After visiting another dealer, I visited Huntington VW to inquire about the best deal on a VW SEL. Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and courteo After visiting another dealer, I visited Huntington VW to inquire about the best deal on a VW SEL. Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I had never leased before and he answered all my questions with patience and professionalism. Shawn, the Sales Manager, was the same. Professional, knowledgeable and patient to explain in detail all my concerns and to help me get the best deal. Fred, the finance person, was also the same. The entire business is a professionally operated dealership with a clean, comfortable waiting area. All paperwork was handled expertly. There are no hidden fees and there is no nonsense at this dealer. Chris also spent as much time as I needed to go over the operation of all the Jetta's features and demonstrated step by step every operation. I drove in with my 6 year old Nissan and drove home in a sporty new Jetta. I highly recommend More
