Third Mini from this dealership. Every visit (service and sales)I am treated like a family member and they remember my name and always say Hi, even if I'm there for someone else.

When we first went to the showroom, all of the "MINI" sales people were busy, but Mr. Wahl (who I don't think normally takes care of MINI customers)saw us waiting around and asked if he could help "MINI" sales people were busy, but Mr. Wahl (who I don't think normally takes care of MINI customers)saw us waiting around and asked if he could help. We were very grateful for that. Long story short, he took us on a test drive, answered all of our questions and then wrote up our order since we'd made our decision.He was really quite knowledgeable about the MINI and he made ordering one a painless experience. The car was delivered exactly when he said it would be -- perhaps even a little early. Because of our work schedules, we couldn't pick it up until it was close to when he would normally have gone home. Nevetheless, he was very patient and thorough in explaining all of the features of the car and in answering our questions. He followed-up with a call the following day to make sure that there were no problems. Although it's a "hike" to this dealer -- we live an hour away in rush hour traffic -- I'd say it was worth it. The car is really great so far and the purchase and delivery experiences were first rate. More
The service was great. Maureen is an excellent sales person. She gave us the space we needed to talk and make decisions she was very patient, not pushy, very knowledgeable on ALL aspects of the car. She person. She gave us the space we needed to talk and make decisions she was very patient, not pushy, very knowledgeable on ALL aspects of the car. She gets 5 stars from us. Others in the dealership were helpful and polite. Unfortunately the car we leased had a manufactured part that was damaged and on our way home we encountered a problem. We ended up having to come back, bring the car to the service dept. getting a loaner car, waiting a couple of days, then we had to come back... wasn't terrible but was a bad start. The car drove great after that. We had it for 2 days, and unfortunately on the second day was in a bad accident (old man didn't stop at a stop sign) so now we need to see what will happen and I guess will really put Habberstad to the test. Of curse it's nothing to do with their service but moving forward there will be things to 'deal with' between the leasing company and insurance...if the car is 'totaled' we will need a new car for the duration of the lease.

I have always loved the mini coopers when they came out. I rented a car from enterprise on 24th street in Manhattan. I was thrilled to have a choice between the minicooper and some other ugly car that I wou I rented a car from enterprise on 24th street in Manhattan. I was thrilled to have a choice between the minicooper and some other ugly car that I would have refused if it was the only one left at the rental store. It was a red cooper. The size is perfect, it parks well in the city were parking spots are scares and it drives beautifully. The first day that I drove it to work, someone at the parking lot commented - "Great Car." I said I know but failed to tell him that I rented it because I knew even before then that I wanted one. That night drivingg home from work, I told my mother to research it and to my luck your dealerships had deals going on. I live in Manhattan but I chose the Haberstad MINI because because they responded to my email immediately and call me to make an appointment right away. My initial appointment was with Gus but he was not there when I visited. I was very happy to have landed George because he was perfect. I ended up leasing the car because it was the best choice for me and he had explained every other choice so thoroughly. I really appreciated how he was determined to make sure I get the car because he understood my situation and the urgency of the vehicle. So, in short, I had the perfect salesman and I will recommend your dealership any time to anyone. Also, the rest of the team helped execute my deal quickly and thoroughly. So, I am pleased because I know if I go there and George is not there I feel at easy dealing with the rest of the Habberstad team. I love my car choice... linah More

I have bought many cars in the past 40 years. This is one experience I never look forward to. With the exception of my first car as a 17 year old. I am very impatient when buying a car and I don't look for experience I never look forward to. With the exception of my first car as a 17 year old. I am very impatient when buying a car and I don't look forward to the xx one recevies. I consider myself intelligent and having a good mind for business.So when I purchase a new auto, I am well prepared. I like to go in, tell the sales person what I want and to give me the very best price, because I will not jump back and forth between dealers. One visit, thats all. If I don't like the sales person and feel as if he is giving me the act, I leave. When I visited Habberstad Mini I was met by George, who was expecting me. He was friendly, down to earth and professional. We got right to business, laid the cards on the table and told him to go to work and sell me a Mini. Habberstad was the third and final Mini dealership I intended to visit. I told George I was ready to buy. He wasn't pushy, listened to everything I had to say, gave his opinions and after 15 minutes gave me a wonderful deal. Before agreeing on anything, we went test driving wich was an absolute blast. He brought me to winding hilly roads so I could feel just how wonderful the car handled. We took out an automatic and a manual. He never rushed me, he just let me do my thing. After finaslly deciding on model and extras, the deal was almost made with one exception. I told him I was going to visit a VW dealership first before setting the deal in stone. He was very understanding, did not become agressive. WE did all the paperwork wich he filed and told me that it all would be shredded if I decided not to buy from him. I called George the next day and closed the deal. I need to say that it was the very best experience I ever had (except for my first car) in purchasing a car. I was not rushed, not messed with, NO xx. An extremly enjoyable, fun experience that only took 1 hour of my time. Donna in finance is extremely, helpful, friendly and professional. My entire experience their was great. More
This dealership is horrible and full of liars! When I originally was looking for a vehicle they lied to me about what their Mini select program was and now I am stuck with a gigantic balloon payment and originally was looking for a vehicle they lied to me about what their Mini select program was and now I am stuck with a gigantic balloon payment and now that my contract is up they have turned their backs on me. They will not work with me on any level. I can't get anyone to return my phone calls and I even went their and no was able to see me. Their sales man lied to me about my end of contract options and has since screwed me with a payment I have to pay out of pock which will crush me financially as I am on a strict monthly budget. Habberstad Mini has actually told me it was my problem not theirs and that they want nothing to do with me or my car. I will never get a Mini again or work with Habberstad Mini of Huntington Station. I will also do whatever I can to let as many people on Long Island, NY know of their crooked, lying ways and warn them of the consequences that will happen if they enter into a contract with them.

I had been looking at Mini's for sometime when I decided to visit Habberstad. Although it was nearing closing time Maureen never rushed us. She answered all my questions and let me look around as much as I to visit Habberstad. Although it was nearing closing time Maureen never rushed us. She answered all my questions and let me look around as much as I'd like. I was given an appointment to return for a test drive. Again Maureen greeted us warmly and took her time. I probably wasn't the easiest costumer. I was very indecisive and wavered back and forth between the Mini and Cooper S.Once I decided on the Cooper S I tortured her with my flipping from one color to another from one option to another. Maureen never made me feel like I was bothering her. She remained professional, friendly and helpful the whole time. I love my Mini. It is everything I hoped for and Habberstad and particularly Maureen made the whole experience pleasurable! More
