Richard Cheatham
Sales and Leasing Consultant
Volkswagen of Huntington

Huntington Station, NY 11746
I’ve been around cars my whole life, starting in the business back in 1969. Over the years, I’ve done a little bit of everything from old car restorations to hot rod building and I’ve even been lucky enough to have my work written up in a few magazines. What I enjoy most, though, is meeting people and helping them find exactly what they’re looking for. I had a very successful used car lot and auto repair business for over 30 years in the same location. Even though I’ve “retired” a couple of times, I just can’t stay away from the car business. I am a strong believer in good customer service and I always do my best to make sure folks get the best deal possible whether it be a lease or a purchase. At the end of the day, it’s not just about cars, it’s about people, and that’s what keeps me going.

The dealership is not my favorite at all! I was sold a used 2022 Volkswagen crossover that they charged an extra $2000 for their pre-certification. The check engine light has been on. There w I was sold a used 2022 Volkswagen crossover that they charged an extra $2000 for their pre-certification. The check engine light has been on. There was a crack in the windshield after I test drove it and the brakes were bad. We have returned the car three times and now I have a loaner for about a week now. I don’t want this car. More

This is my 2nd car that I got with Richard. He’s honest (I don’t use this term lightly), and always gets me the best deal. Being in sales myself, customer service is very important to me.
