I decided to take a look at cars because I finally was ready to part with my car of over 20 years! My Mazda 626. I started looking on the internet and comparing cars and what was the best offer I could ge ready to part with my car of over 20 years! My Mazda 626. I started looking on the internet and comparing cars and what was the best offer I could get for my money. I told my brother that I was interested in the Mazda so he did some research for me and also felt it was the best deal on the market. On memorial we went to Wantagh Mazda dealership and we met Victor. He was very pleasant and personable. He was not "pushy" and he asked me what I was interested in and he proceeded to give me the details on the Mazda sport and the Touring. I drove the sport which I liked very much but by the time I got back to the showroom I fell in love with the Touring! The skyblue color called me and after hearing what the car was loaded with I decided that was the car for me!Victor was a great salesman and was also very "down to earth"! He made me feel that I made a great choice and I felt very confident in my choice.I also received a discount just for owning a Mazda prior to this one! I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family and definitely tell them to speak to Victor. Annette Dwyer More

Possibly the best overall car-buying experience I've ever had in almost 50 years. I came in to look at the new Mazda 6 and was directed to Joe Bonavita. Joe carefully described the features of the c ever had in almost 50 years. I came in to look at the new Mazda 6 and was directed to Joe Bonavita. Joe carefully described the features of the car. I let him know what his competition was and he made a friendly, low-key pitch for the virtues of the Mazda over the other cars that I was considering. When I asked for a test drive, he took a copy of my license, put a dealer's plate on a car, handed me the keys and (my first surprise) told me to go out and have a pleasant drive. (The only other dealership where I've seen this done was an Acura dealer.) When I returned, we chatted some more and he said that he hoped to see me again to do business. I asked him if--should I decide to pull the trigger on the Mazda--he'd be able to get the color and exact equipment that I wanted. He assured me that, if the car that I wanted existed anywhere in the tri-state area, he could have it for me within a day or two at most. After doing my comparison shopping and my pricing research, I decided on the Mazda and called Joe back. We did some bargaining over the phone and quickly settled on a very reasonable price. All of the paperwork was done by email and fax. I never had to return until delivery day, which was only a few days later. The delivery process, once again, exceeded my expectations. At the conclusion of every recent car purchase in which I've been involved, there comes a point when the salesperson sends you in to see "the closer." This guy's job is to sell you last-minute, high profit add-ons which you don't want and which you don't need: extended warranties, extra insurance, fabric protection, lifetime nitrogen inflation for your tires, etc., etc. etc. I've been through the drill enough times and I'm resistant enough to the sales pitch, that I've become inured to the process--but that still doesn't make it pleasant. Well, at Wantagh Mazda, there's no "closer." Joe went over the paperwork with me. The numbers were exactly as expected, to the penny; and that was that. We then went out to the car and Joe spent about half an hour with me carefully going over the various controls and functions. So, as I said at the top, this was an absolutely terrific experience from beginning to end. Joe was a pleasure to work with. And it's obvious that the Wantagh management has decided that this is the way they want to conduct business. Good for them! I will happily recommend Wantagh Mazda to friends and family. More

Great car buying experience. None of the typical "car dealer" nonsense. Phil actually talks and treats you like a normal person, not like sleazy salesman trying to rip you off at every opportunity.

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.
