I asked if the -I called Wantagh Mazda for an oil change, speaking with the Service Dept. Everytime I call they are always polite and accommodating. I asked if there was anyway I could bring the car in that day for an oil change, the secretary was very nice and asked me to hold on, she got back on and said sure Alex said no problem. -When I got there I was greeted so well. Craig told me the car would be taken in shortly, and it would be an hour wait. It never fails, eveytime I go to Wantagh Mazda I never have anyone that is rude. Craig came out to waitng room after 30 minutes, and said the car was done. Craig is always such a professional and pleasant person to deal with. As usual it was a great experience dealing with all of them. Thank you Wantagh Mazda! Lynne A. More

DESERVING OF THEIR TOP SPOT ON DEALER RATER! Is it possible to give five stars to a dealer who never even sold you a car? YES! This is about my experience with Wantagh Mazda, a dealer so focused Is it possible to give five stars to a dealer who never even sold you a car? YES! This is about my experience with Wantagh Mazda, a dealer so focused on customer service, that even when Joe, their sales manager, couldn't sell me the Mazda I wanted, he made sure I got the car anyway. Here's how that happened. I was looking for a 2020 CX-5 Signature in 1 of 2 colors which, due to Mazda's COVID production shutdowns, I couldn't find anywhere. Wantagh Mazda is about 40 miles from my home, but I reached out to them because they are the top-rated Mazda dealer on DealerRater in the NY area. That was important to me because I hate getting the runaround from unscrupulous dealerships, which still happens far too often. Joe made his intentions immediately clear to me: "I will do everything I can to help get this car for you, but I am not going to string you along if I can't." That is the kind of honest, no-nonsense approach that I find is all too rare when shopping for a new car. After much searching--and a few close calls with dealers who showed the Mazda I wanted in inventory, but turned out not to actually have the cars--Joe finally found the CX-5 Signature that I wanted in red, which was my top choice. He did his best to get if for me, trying to arrange a car swap with the dealer who had it, but the dealer didn't want to give it up. At that point, most dealers would have simply said, "Sorry, I can't get the car" and then tried to sell me on something else that they had in inventory or knew that they could get. Instead, Joe said, "I know you really want this car, so here's the contact info for the dealer I found who has it, here's the email for their sales manager who I've been talking to, and see if they'll sell it to you directly." Well, I did contact that dealer and I'm now driving EXACTLY the 2020 Mazda CX-5 Signature in red that I wanted, and it's all thanks to Joe at Wantagh Mazda, even though they didn't make a penny on the sale. The dealer he connected me with was in a very small town out-of-state, and I never would have found them on my own. I can't thank him enough for this outstanding customer service, and I look forward to having my car serviced in the future at Wantagh Mazda! More

He helped us find the perfect car and was never too pushy. No one at the dealership played any games with us or tried to low ball us which lots of other deals try to do. They even put a cute bow on the car after which was a cute little touch. David made buying a car very pleasant! We would definitely recommend Wantagh Mazda to everyone! More
