  • "The people working there are polite, humble and most importantly they listen to you."

Sales Experience

Pros:

  • "Thank you Sal & Mike for making buying my 4th VW very enjoyable."
  • "We just had a wonderful experience buying our pre-owned Audi Q3 with Smithtown Volkswagen."
  • "Sales staff is great!"
  • "Kenny the salesman really went out of his way to make sure I was happy!"
  • "Just picked up a 2021 VW Tiguan for my daughter, dealt with Jon in sales and he couldn't have been more helpful and professional."
  • "Vinay was our sales agent and he went above and beyond to work with my family in finding the vehicle that would best suit our needs."
  • "Salesman Alex Soto provided me with a stress free experience."

Cons:

  • "Overall I would take your money somewhere else as they are incompetent and sell poor quality used vehicles inspected and repaired by Helen Keller."
  • "Contacted the dealership and discussed pricing over the phone with one of the sales people multiple times over 3 days...they sold the car 'yesterday' and 'probably forgot' to check the inventory before telling us to come in."
  • "The GM Jhon does not care when you tell him what’s going on."
  • "Went here the other day, found a car I liked, started to ask about the price with the sales person, only to be told the price we saw online isn't the price of the car."
  • "They lie to get you in the door and then add crazy fees."
  • "Price of car was falsely advertised to get you in the door."
  • "The Sales Department from my recent experience, disappointing, dishonest, for their own gain, and untruthful."

Vehicle Service and Maintenance

Pros:

  • "They took care of us right away at 730am and were on time."
  • "Got my car back on the road and handled all communication with my warranty company."
  • "They checked for any open recalls and the work was complete in a short time."
  • "Found out that two of my tires were in really bad shape, one with a nail and one with a huge gash. They never forced my arm into getting all four tires."
  • "Oil changes are also good to do here as well."
  • "I have used their Service department for tires which I would recommend."
  • "Servicing cars at this dealership since 2008, 3 cars bought here. Current service team is great, no phony changes, explain every part of the work done, very helpful and far from the dealer/stealer concept."

Cons:

  • "I already had a major issue with the sales department of Smithtown VW, and now the service department has let me down as well."
  • "This service department doesn't get repairs right the first time."
  • "The service department will do the very minimal cleaning and check before they release your car, be warned!!!"
  • "Dealer now refuses to fix work covered by warranty because I gave them a 1 star review."
  • "The service department is hidden off to the side and not state of the art."
  • "WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! They LIE about updates and let your car sit there with no work done!"
  • "Avoid the service department here at all costs!"

Facility and Amenities

Pros:

  • "Shockingly our new car came with a full tank of gas, this may seem silly but that’s a huge pet peeve of mine."
  • "Service was friendly, Noah did a great job managing a very busy Saturday morning and got me out quick."

Cons:

  • "I went back upstairs to go sit some more in one of the uncomfortable ripped leather chairs, with no vending machine for a snack like other dealerships have (only thing available was coffee or water)."
  • "They deserve an updated showroom and offices. It’s been too long!!"
