Best Dealership Experience 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 dealersh 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. More

Simply Outstanding 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 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!!

Wantagh Mazda 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 i 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!!! More

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 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! More

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 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!!!! More

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 rememb Wantagh Mazda and the experience was flawless. Now it was time to turn in those vehicles and lease new ones.
