This is the secon Madza my family leased through Wantagh Mazda with Victor. Victor and Joe were beyond helpful, and very knowledgable. I think I walked into Wantagh Mazda three times before I made my final Mazda with Victor. Victor and Joe were beyond helpful, and very knowledgable. I think I walked into Wantagh Mazda three times before I made my final decision and not once did Victor, Joe or the rest of their team pressure me into buying a car that I wasn't 100% sure about. I am so happy with my cx5 sport. The price is great and the customer service Victor and Joe gave me was great. More

Truly a great experience from st with Wantagh Mazda has been more exceptional than the last and that is the main reason why I highly recommend them. Truly a great experience from start to finish and I even had some problems with my credit that I needed to address before I could get the vehicle and Victor, Kenny & Joe were extremely patient, helpful and made sure I was able to get the car at our negotiated price. I will continue to get my vehicles through them and recommend them to family and friends any chance I get. More

We made our decision to lease our car from this dealership primarily because of the nature of our salesman, Victor Liantonio. Victor is down to earth and friendly, and recognized the car features dealership primarily because of the nature of our salesman, Victor Liantonio. Victor is down to earth and friendly, and recognized the car features we needed, while in consideration of our budget. The car was the first car for our teenage son, and Victor is a regular guy who was able to relate to all of us well, without being the least bit pressuring or intimidating. We are repeat customers and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Victor or Wantagh Mazda in the future. More

I contacted several Mazda dealerships and was told that it would be difficult to find me the car I wanted in the time frame I requested. They were discouraging and a few took too long to reach out to me i it would be difficult to find me the car I wanted in the time frame I requested. They were discouraging and a few took too long to reach out to me in the first place. Wantagh Mazda not only found me the car but had it available to me within a few days. I was very pleased with the process from beginning to end. More

We were looking at several cars, the Mazda 3, Honda Civc, and Hyundai Elantra. We visited 2 separate dealerships for each model, and test drove each car at each dealership, (6 test drives). When we went to W and Hyundai Elantra. We visited 2 separate dealerships for each model, and test drove each car at each dealership, (6 test drives). When we went to Wantagh Mazda we met David, who showed us the car, then gave us the keys for a test drive, after the test drive he answered all of our questions, and we told him we wanted to look at other cars. David was ok with this and did not pressure us to purchase. We then went to Honda City, Atlantic Hyundai, Advantage Hyundai, Millennium Honda, and Garden City Mazda. (We also did test drive the VW Jetta, and Toyota Corolla, but didn't like either car). After meeting 8 different salespeople, and 8 dealerships, we went back to Wantagh Mazda. It was David's day off, so we spoke to Joe S, the sales manager, we told him our story, and that we had spoken with David already, and that we were ready to buy. There was no BS, he gave us a price, I told him my best price, and we made a deal that I was happy with. He then handed us over to Joe B who wrote up the sales agreement. David called us later to thank us, and was there when we picked up the car to show us about it and do the paperwork. I am 55 yeas old and this was the first new car experience for my daughter, she drove every car, twice, and I assisted her with the sale. I have bought many new cars, but never this easy, with no pressure whatsoever from Wantagh Mazda. I cannot comment on service, yet, but would recommend for new car purchase. More

From the start, Wantagh Mazda exceeded all my expectations of what an amicable, courteous dealership can be. This realization took place only after visiting, and speaking with, many other dealer expectations of what an amicable, courteous dealership can be. This realization took place only after visiting, and speaking with, many other dealerships in the area. Not only did they provide the most competitive quote over the phone, but they actually stood by that quote at the dealership. There was never any doubt, that when I arrived at Wantagh Mazda, I had found the kind of dealership that one only dreams of. In every step of the negotiation process, the Wantagh sales team exhibited a most upstanding and honorable demeanor. Their conscientious, meticulous care, while being attentive to my every need, made me feel like a member of their immediate family, or at least a distant relative. So if you are looking for a dealership, where negotiations are conducted without stressful equivocation, this is the one for you. More
