My Third Mazda!
My Third Mazda!
by Rich Rothmansky on 01/28/2025A few weeks ago I traded in my 2020 CX-5 for a new 2025 CX-5. Probably the best MAZDA car I have ever driven. Was eventually looking to upgrade and found a great time to get it done. Josh Pena and Joe Bonavita did a phenomenal job and I… appreciate their work. Thanks again to all at Wantagh Mazda!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!Congratulations on your new 2025 CX-5! We’re thrilled to hear that it’s the best Mazda you’ve ever driven. Josh and Joe will be so happy to know they made your upgrade experience a great one. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending Wantagh Mazda—we truly appreciate your support. Enjoy every mile in your new CX-5!
The best dealer service ever!
by Joanie B on 01/25/2023I am on my third lease with a CX 5 and I must say I will continue to stay with this dealership. The salesman Vic Liantonio took good care of me. He was very informative and patient. He answered all my questions and made me feel very… comfortable with my purchase. The rest of the team are also very friendly and nice. The service department is also very efficient. I highly recommend Wantagh Mazda and I love my CX 5. A very easy ride. I am looking forward to my next lease.Thank you so much Joanie! We are proud to have earned your loyalty. We look forward to seeing you the next time you visit.
Authentic buying experience
by Melanie on 03/03/2022I did my research and visited or called several dealership. I was truly dreading the whole process. Wantagh Mazda was the only dealership that didn’t try to sell me anything extra or mark up my car some ridiculous amount over msrp. I worked… with Charlie and it was truly a smooth seamless transaction. They will get my business again anytime.Thanks for letting us know about your experience, Melanie! Customer service will always be one of the Wantagh Mazda team's highest priorities and it's great to hear that your visit went smoothly. Thank you for your business and we hope to take care of any of your future car needs!
Just like family
by D Levine on 11/13/2021We have been buying cars from Wantagh Mazda since 2000 and when my sons were old enough to get cars, we went to Mazda. From the sales people to the service dept., you always feel like you are in good hands, people that you can trust and… when your children are involved, trust is very important. We wouldn't go anywhere else.Thank you for the kind words! We very much appreciate your continued business and trust. Please let us know if there is anything else you need. - Your Wangtagh Mazda team.
Best car buying experience ever!
by Frank F on 02/01/2021updated 02/08/2021Friendly, honest, straight forward experience. No games. We had purchased 2 other Mazdas from David over the past 10 years and it always went well. This time, since we had moved out of the area, we went to a different Mazda dealer. What a… mistake. They low balled the trade in, said there was no room for a discount, and then quoted a payment that added up to more than the purchase price. I called Wantagh and not only saved $2k, there was no haggling. It was worth the trip! I only wish all dealers would do business Like Wantagh.Frank, thank you for your 5-star rating and your shout-out for David! We're glad we could help make a deal you wanted to make and hope we have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
Great Buying Experience
by Jim Cunningham on 01/03/2021Great experience, very quick, and no post sale hard sell on warranties or any other nonsense. They had a choice of 0% financing or $1000 off, took the $1000, then the manager came right over and offered another $700 off sticker. It was a… competitive offer based on truecar, so didn't feel the need to haggle. The whole process was very quick and relaxed. Got the car I wanted at a competitive price, they took care of all the details and were very friendly and competent. David Chiari, the salesman was great. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.Jim, thank you for the 5-star rating and shout-out for David! We're glad you had a great experience and hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

by Rich on 11/24/2020Early in November, I purchased my second Mazda..couldn't be happier. The CX-5 is awesome. Great features. Got a good trade in for my CX-3.

Easy and pleasant experience
by Robert on 11/04/2020I was coming out of a Mazda CX3 and although I was definitely looking at other cars I did like the new CX30. So, I went to Wantagh mazda because it's local to me. Henry was a great representative, friendly and helpful with every step.… Although there was a slight back and forth with numbers, he was incremental in getting the cost to something affordable for me, which I appreciate. Everything was done in a timely and efficient manner and it was a pleasure to deal with everyone involved. If you are interested in a Mazda definitely stop at Wantagh!Robert, we are glad that Henry was able to provide you with a great experience. We appreciate the recommendation and the 5-star rating. We hope you are enjoying your new CX30 and we hope to see you again soon!

Excellent experience
by Mazda CX 5 on 09/05/2020I just bought my first Mazda at 62 years old after owning many other cars. This was by far the easiest time I’ve ever experienced in purchasing a car. The staff at Wantagh Mazda are knowledgeable, professional and couldn’t be nicer. And… most of all they got me the car I wanted in the color I wanted. Thank you Wantagh Mazda.Thank you for the review! We are glad to know that our staff was able to provide such a great visit for you. If there is anything more we can do for you, please let us know! Enjoy your new Mazda!

Excellent Experience During COVID
by RichardS on 08/18/2020We were looking to buy a new CX-5 before the end of July to take advantage of the 0% financing and we wanted to do all the preliminary stuff by phone/email. Joe, the Internet Sales Manager was perfect. He responded promptly and there was… absolutely no BS. Worked with us on price, on the accessories we wanted, on doing this all remotely including getting me copies of the contract before we picked up the car. We live in Westchester and tried several dealerships closer to us. Some were pathetic at getting back to us. One made us come in for a meeting with a sales manager. After waiting for 20 minutes while the sales staff walked around, some without masks, we walked out. Not only was Joe on the ball, when we did go Wantagh Mazda to sign the documents, go over features, and leave with our new CX-5, we were pleased to see that the folks there took COVID19 seriously. Everyone was wearing a mask and they also had plexiglass dividers on each sales desk. COVID aside, if you want to deal with a sales person that is interested in making your sales process quick and easy, Joe is the man.Richard, thanks for reviewing us and rating us 5 stars! We appreciate the kind words and this is what we strive for! We aim for 100% customer satisfaction at every stage of your car purchase, and we’re delighted to hear that you received that. We’re happy to help with any future car or service needs you may have, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again.

Absolutely a Great Experience!
by R Perez on 07/25/2020My wife and I were looking for a CPO Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. We went to 2 other Mazda dealerships here in LI and every time we asked for a quote over the phone/email and at the dealership the extra fees made the whole experience confusing… and a bit useless as the final price did not match the original quote given to us in the first place. So I went to Mazda Wantagh online and used their buy now feature where you see an easy to understand price including taxes and registration fees. I got a phone call by Josh Pena who is the Internet Sales and Customer Satisfaction Specialist and scheduled an appointment for a test drive. Not only did we test drive the CX-5, we drove the CX-30 but felt like the trunk space was a bit small for us. Anyway we closed the purchase on the CX-5 the same day as we were satisfied by the professionalism and honesty of Josh who is a CX-5 owner himself and he was answering every question about the car in a way that made us feel very comfortable. We don’t leave in the area so we asked if they could deliver the car to us in Riverhead and that was when we met Joe Stella a great guy and said “we will bring the car to you” That just added to what it was already a fantastic experience overall. Fred also a great guy showed up in Riverhead on time, with the car, wearing the necessary equipment and kept sanitizing the interior of the car to keep it spotless until the last second! That is amazing! Fred also took his time to help us go over the paperwork, make sure we had all documents and even more time to explain every feature on the car one last time. That is outstanding service In and Out by Josh, Joe, Fred and everyone else behind the team at Mazda Wantagh a real family business. Thank you!Thanks for the excellent 5-star rating! We appreciate the kind words! We pride ourselves on our knowledgeable and helpful staff members and we are delighted to hear that they always provide a great car buying experience for you. It was a pleasure doing business with you and we do hope you come back again.
3rd Car Happily Purchased from Wantagh Mazda!

Car Purchase
by Chris on 06/11/2020We came to Wantagh Mazda to buy a car for my daughter. Our sales representative was David and he was very pleasant and worked with us to find the perfect car. We liked the fact that everyone in the deanship was very nice and no one tried to… play any games or be too pushy. No one tried to low ball us and play games which occurs at a lot of dealers. Everyone from David, to the service manager, and the finance guy were all very nice. After buying years of Nissans this is the first time I actually went to a dealership and had no games played. I would highly recommend this dealership to everyone! They even put a cute bow on my daughters car when we bought it, it was a nice touch. They even took the time to call us after and ask how we were liking the new vehicle. Made buying a car very pleasant!This is what we strive for! Chris, we truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a great rating and feedback! We are delighted to hear that our staff helped in giving you and your daughter such an excellent car buying experience with us!
