WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ! Go See DAVID CHIARI This is my 2nd CX-5. I purchased my 1st at Garden City Mazda for my wife while undergoing chemotherapy in 2017. In my opinion I was tortured by the This is my 2nd CX-5. I purchased my 1st at Garden City Mazda for my wife while undergoing chemotherapy in 2017. In my opinion I was tortured by the salesman who disappeared for an hour while allegedly asking the manager about a price for the remote start and saleswoman who tried to get me to buy some warranty package. I repeatedly told the woman no but she kept on persisting. She finally stopped when I got angry asked her what does a man dying of cancer have to do to get out of this dealership. She then broke down into tears and let me go. I left the dealership feeling disgusted, angry and like I was taken advantage of. I complained about the red paint on the car earlier this year and was ignored by the manager. My wife and I both enjoy the features and handling of the CX-5 so I decided to try Wantagh Mazda and boy I'm glad I did. I'm disabled now as a result of battling my cancers for the last 3 years, so I went to the dealership during the week. My salesman was an English gentleman named DAVID CHIARI. Instead of him wasting my time and his, he treated me like an adult, He didn't play games, get lost, or touch me trying to build a rapport and plant his thoughts The transaction was soooo smooth and painless it was like a dream come true. Wantagh Mazda was filled with happy employees and customers. My wife questioned the dealership about the red paint and her concerns were immediately addressed. The sales manager Joe Stella and service manager Gary Gavin were professional, polite, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. This is because of the superior ownership of the dealership. They are closed on Sundays because they value their employees and know the importance of traditional American family values. This translates into superior customer service on part of the sales team and service department. In closing forget the rest and save time, money and aggravation and go to Wantagh Mazda. More

From our first experience ,7 vehicles ago, we always felt like part of the Wantagh Mazda Family. O This is the finest dealership we have ever been to. From our first experience ,7 vehicles ago, we always felt like part of the Wantagh Mazda Family. Our salesman has always been Dave Chiari. The man is simply the best. He better not ever retire. Dave knows our history and our vehicle needs.He is knowledgable,friendly, courteous and totally pressure less during the entire transaction. He always worked with us if there were any unique concerns or needs.The entire dealership staff has always been very friendly and accommodating.We even are recognized by employees that we have never dealt with. The service department is second to none. Kristie,Gary,Gavin,Mike and the techs that have serviced our vehicles are great to deal with. Services done in a timely manner and priced very fairly..Eventhough we have never had a direct transaction with Kenny Davis he always greets and speaks to us every time we visit the showroom.Every time we purchased a vehicle Vin would show his appreciation. Being a business owner myself, this means a lot to us. This dealership has a great inventory and truly cares about their customers before and after the sale. It goes without saying, Mazda makes an outstanding vehicle as well. I forgot to mention Joe Stella. He has been a total gentle man throughout all of our purchases and trade ins.He will always work hard for us. Thanks Dave and Joe. More

He was patient, explained every detail, was encouraging, courteous, informed us of the special services offered by the dealership, sat by as I took the car for a test drive and answered all of our questions. He made us feel comfortable with him, did not pressure us but instead led us to make our own conclusions and made us feel that we had come to the right place to lease a car. Subsequently, his follow up was amazing and that reinforced all of the positive feelings that he had engendered. More
