Wantagh Mazda was far and above the best place we stopped and needless to stay we got our car there. It was my son's first new car and Vic Liantonio made us feel at home and like family. Great guy with a no nonsense approach and extremely accommodating . Joe Stella the sale manager was also fantastic and a lot of fun ! If you need a Mazda go here ! More

First Time In The Hot Seat I have been with others when they bought cars, but this was my first time buying/leasing. Based on how uncomfortable others' experiences were, I was p I have been with others when they bought cars, but this was my first time buying/leasing. Based on how uncomfortable others' experiences were, I was practicing and readying to be disappointed. The whole experience was extremely pleasant and was done in a single day. My husband and I felt welcome by all levels of sales and management, were treated fairly, and were never pushed towards anything we didn't want. Victor made sure we were aware of all pros and cons of different decisions we would make. Vinny, the owner, made sure we were well taken care of. Joe was extremely informational and guided us to the financial decisions that fit within our budget, and Kenny was an upbeat person to work with and made great recommendations for food while we waited for our car. It has only been a day, but I am very happy to have had Wantagh Mazda help me. Husband "I guess we know where I'm buying my next car". Thanks again guys. More

Best car buying experience Our entire experience with this dealership was absolutely positive from the first call to picking up the vehicle. Joe B. was so professional and know Our entire experience with this dealership was absolutely positive from the first call to picking up the vehicle. Joe B. was so professional and knowledgeable. They did not have the exact vehicle that I wanted but Joe Stella assured me that he would get it and he did. He was also a pleasure to deal with as well as Kenny Davis. The no pressure attitude made the entire experience a pleasure from start to finish. I will and have already recommended this dealership to my friends and family. I also really admire the fact that the dealership is closed on Sundays for employees to spend time with their families. For that I truly respect the owner. More

Best car buying experience yet Absolutely perfect. No gimmicks, no pressure, quick and right to the point. All salesmen are great, knowledgeable and professional. I leased a 2016 Absolutely perfect. No gimmicks, no pressure, quick and right to the point. All salesmen are great, knowledgeable and professional. I leased a 2016 6 last year and came back again last week to trade in a Honda CR-V towards a 2016.5 CX-5. The process was painless, and Charles, Kenny, Joe, and Phil were a pleasure to deal with. I will be coming back in the future for all my vehicle purchases. More

Mazda- Dave and Joe I was greeted at the door by Dave and his wonderful english accent. He was a pleasure to deal with from the moment i arrived at Wantagh Mazda.. I knew I was greeted at the door by Dave and his wonderful english accent. He was a pleasure to deal with from the moment i arrived at Wantagh Mazda.. I knew that i wanted the CX-5 and Dave was beyond knowledgeable about the car and went into great detail about the benefits of the car. I wanted Black with a black interior and Dave was more then helpful in getting me what my initial pick was. He also suggest I take a look at the sand interior and i'm SO glad he made that suggestion because i absolutely loved it and wound up picking that car over the black on black. Not only was David a wonderful help but so was Joe in the front. He made the transition of my trade in flawless. I was happy to learn that these two men were both employees at this location for quite some time and it shows consumers they back what they are selling. The family owned business at this location was a driving point in picking Wantagh over other Mazda locations. If you are thinking of a Mazda, please go to Wantagh, the staff was so helpful even on a friday night when everyone just wants the weekend to happen. Thank you again Dave and Joe, you both were so helpful and made the stressful job of buying a car, stress free. :) More

Car-buying...made EASY I know the top- notch service department of Wantagh Mazda because we own Mazda's...and I do not trust the other dealership I purchased from. The inte I know the top- notch service department of Wantagh Mazda because we own Mazda's...and I do not trust the other dealership I purchased from. The integrity of Wantagh Mazda is famous, so coming here to purchase a pre-owned SUV was a no-brainer. Victor Liantonio is a special man...low key, humble, smart. He respected my "wish list" and never pressured me to "indulge"...yet he always took the time to explain the rationale behind some other options I had not yet considered. He was patient...kept me informed during the waiting process...and found the PERFECT car match for me. I want to also acknowledge the help from Joe Stella, who worked with me and Victor to get the best possible trade-in allowance for my much-loved Mazda 6. Please let me stress that, once I decided to purchase another Mazda, I did not dealer-hop. I told Victor up-front that I trusted Wantagh Mazda...and especially him. And I KNOW I got the best car...at the best price! More
