Easy, friendly, hassle-free experience Dealing with Wantagh Mazda was an overall great experience. No pressure, no traditional "hard sell", none of the stress or annoying tactics that usual 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! More

Wasn't Planning on Signing a Lease on Day One of Shopping! 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 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! More

A stress-free shopping experience I purchased a car from Wantagh Mazda this week. The salesman, Victor, was excellent. He was informative, straight-forward and did not pressure his cu I purchased a car from Wantagh Mazda this week. The salesman, Victor, was excellent. He was informative, straight-forward and did not pressure his customer for a decision. He offered different combinations of options to get to the car we wanted at the right price. The staff was kind, humorous and most importantly willing to help out. Thank you Victor for your salesmanship; Kenny for your detailed follow-up and Joe Stella for a great overall shopping experience. You guys rock! More

Great Experience 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 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. More

From the moment you step into the showroom everyone there is bey This is the 2nd time I am leasing from Wantgh Mazda and I am so Happy with my choice. 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! More

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!
