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.

Not only was he and the team at Huntington match the original deal but they were able to beat it by a small amount. I HIGHLY recommend coming here if you are looking for a new car versus all the other dealers in Long Island. More
