Dishonest. Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave witho Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave without the headache. Especially if you deal with Eli. Incompetent liar. If you're wise to their tactics you will find numerous ways that they try to screw you over. Bunch of losers from sales, to finance, and straight to the manager. I made a mistake of ordering my vehicle through VW's website to this dealer and was forced to relinquish my order because of their inflated in-house only financing rates, 7k over sticker on a car that I ordered b.s., and sneaky fake discounts they try to make you think that your getting while they essentially steal your State and Federal tax rebates from you by inflating the sticker price. Fyi for anyone that is still reading this, I sat down with that loser Eli on a Saturday worked out a deal that I was unhappy with and took notes every step of the way. On Monday I go to pick up the car and they raised the price on me by 2k without telling me. Seems like when I squeezed them up on my trade-in a couple grand, which by the way was nearly fair market value, they then increased the sticker price on me to compensate for that and I noticed at the finance desk. You have to look at their computer to see whats going on. Eli intentionally writes the order so that its barely comprehensible, supposedly reflecting that I'm paying 5K over sticker the price but in the computer system its different. Definitely take notes to compare at the end. I brought it to the Managers attention and he could have cared less. Would not honor the previously agreed upon 5k over sticker. "This is the price". He said I didnt know basic math. There isnt a auto loan calculator on the internet that could possibly figure out the monthly payment that they set up for me. Who the xxxx knows what else they were lying to me about. After this I had enough and walked out. Also note: Forget about getting your own loan. They will only allow financing through their affiliated banks in which they receive a kickback while screwing you over on the interest rate regardless of how good your credit is. Tell me that prime rate is 6%.. not a chance. I called my back and on speaker phone they said 4%. Extremely greedy. And... Shame on VW USA for setting up a pre-order system this bad. More

Great prices and service. No bs/No pressure/No drama The other reviews are true. Do your research online and know exactly what you want in trim, color, and model. Have a general idea what you can afford The other reviews are true. Do your research online and know exactly what you want in trim, color, and model. Have a general idea what you can afford and your FICO score. Next, contact VW Huntington and schedule an appointment with Mr. Eliexer Polanco. Listen to me and listen to me carefully if you want a positive VW purchase experience and save money. Eli is a professional and it is 100% true that he is an awesome man to work with if you are in the market for a VW. Bring printouts with the model # you are interested in so the man can help you. If you are truly serious in your purchase then you will get an honest TRUE price at this VW dealership unlike other places. No gimmick, no pressure, no bs, no drama. In the end, we finished our process with Mr. Fred Recchia and he clearly explained the final closing process along with the other service optional packages that are available. Some of the packages are worth considering if you think you need a loaner and service support. They even accepted my credit card for the deposit plus at closing so that I didn't have to run to my bank for a certified check. Overall, we purchased the VW at a fantastic price. I highly recommend this VW dealership. More

Three Cars and Counting from VW of Huntington Thank you to Fred and Dan who just helped me make an easy pick-up of a 2017 Jetta this evening. In addition to this car, my Wife and I leased our fir Thank you to Fred and Dan who just helped me make an easy pick-up of a 2017 Jetta this evening. In addition to this car, my Wife and I leased our first Jetta from VW of Huntington in 2012 and have also leased a Tiguan in 2015. I can say that we are legitimately hooked on VWs and have loved each of our cars. The shopping experience for all three was an absolute breeze and other dealerships should look to Huntington for an example how easy car shopping can be. There was very little of the BS that typically overshadows the process and instead we had straightforward negotiations for each car; each time we received great service and a great deal. Both Fred and Dan are great salesmen If it's up to me, I'd keep on driving VWs and I'd keep on getting them from this dealership. More
