Joe Bonavita is such a professional with such a warm, genuine I had an excellent experience with Wantagh Mazda, everyone that worked there was great. Joe Bonavita is such a professional with such a warm, genuine personality. He took care of everything, made it super simple, quick and zero surprises. Very honest, family run ownership and you can feel that difference the first time you walk through the door. I'm recommending the car, Mazda 6 Sport and this dealership to everyone! The car is awesome, everything about it, the handling, the pick up, the way the seat hugs you, super roomy, it's simply awesome. More

Wonderful, Stress Free Experience I came to Wantagh Mazda last, after visiting a couple of other dealers that were much closer to me, knowing that Wantagh had the higher dealer ratings I came to Wantagh Mazda last, after visiting a couple of other dealers that were much closer to me, knowing that Wantagh had the higher dealer ratings. Wantagh didn't disappoint. No gimmicks, no double talk, and no clichés about "what do I have to do to get you in this car today?" (I hate that!). This is a small dealership with big capabilities, family owned, and shoe-horned into a small building, but don't let appearances fool you. They offered me options to finance or lease, and explained the terms in language that was understandable. The warm, friendly, no pressure atmosphere seemed based on my perception that the individual salespeople themselves were under no pressure to sell - a great combination for a buyer. My deal was a little out of the usual in that it was for a new 2016 Miata, and I knew that since there is a limited inventory of this Model, there was no wiggle room on price regardless of whatever dealer I chose. Nevertheless, the lease deal from Wantagh was significantly better here than other dealers I visited, and it suited my intended usage of the car very well . Joe Bonavita became my contact after I wrote an email to the dealership, and he took me through the whole process with professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency. I told him I already knew a lot about the car, and I could tell he heard me because he didn't waste time explaining things that didn't need to be said, which is another sign of a great dealership. I highly recommend Joe and this dealership, for their attitude, value, and reputation. More

From the start of the sale with Joe Bonavita. to the continuing schedule service (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) with Gary Gavin and Jim Coyle everyone is professional, friendly and honest. I’m not sure if it is the family owned atmosphere but everyone makes you feel welcome and happy to see you. Thank you Wantagh Mazda for not making me feel like just another customer but a member of a family. Keep up the great work. More

Great Experience I just leased a 2016 CX-5. A friend of mine had purchased the car from the Wantagh dealership and told me not to waste my time going anywhere else. Th I just leased a 2016 CX-5. A friend of mine had purchased the car from the Wantagh dealership and told me not to waste my time going anywhere else. The dealership is family owned and you can tell that they care about the employees and their families( they are closed on Sundays). Joe Bonavita worked with me and he made the whole experience quick and painless. I would recommend this dealership and just like my friend told me I would tell others not to waste time going anywhere else. I pretty much got everything I wanted for the price I was looking for. They did not play games and made me feel like I was the only person getting a car that day. Even the finance manager came over to shake my hand and congratulate me! More

Our New Mazda 3 This is our 4th Mazda purchased at Wantagh Mazda, and we would NEVER go anywhere else! We have also referred others who have made purchases there. P This is our 4th Mazda purchased at Wantagh Mazda, and we would NEVER go anywhere else! We have also referred others who have made purchases there. Phil has always been amazing to deal with. No hassles, no hard sell, and absolutely no pressure to purchase higher end packages or extended warranties. Since Phil is now a sales manager, we worked with Joe who was wonderful, of course Phil was still very involved in the sale. Everyone who works there has been a pleasure to deal with. Our first Mazda was purchased in 2003 and it's just so nice to see that over a period of 12 years, many of the same staff are still working there! That certainly tells you something! I'll be driving a Mazda as long as Wantagh Mazda continues to be there! Wonderful buying experience - thanks to everyone involved! More
