Loved the staff!
Loved the staff! Great customer service!! They went above and beyond for me. I would 100% recommend this dealership to my friends and family. They made buying a new car an easy and great experience!
Land Rocket
My 2013 6-speed VW R is simply a blast to drive! Before I bought my brand new black 4-door VW Golf R, I drove a much larger car, the 2004 VW V8 Touareg and I loved it. But after 10 years and with my kids grown and driving their own cars, I was initially interested in downsizing and intrigued by the amazing mileage advertised for the Golf Diesel -(this was long before VW was burned by the Diesel scam). At the time my VW dealer replied to my questions about leather seats saying "sorry no leather". Then he said, wait, have you heard of the Golf R? No, I’d never heard of the car but it had the leather seats and I test drove both of the two 6-speed models my dealer had on the lot. I bought the 4 door version and have never regretted it. My Golf R makes city and highway driving a pleasure. Something like a small land rocket or driving a really fast but very safe go-cart, especially so on the highway. And while I'm not interested in always jumping to the head of the traffic mosh, when I need it, by simply downshifting to 5th gear and from there powering up to 6th, I'm able to quickly scoot by the traffic and be on my way. I love the fantastic handling of the 4 wheel always-on drive that’s stock on the R. The rock-solid stability of my R is just outstanding. Invariably, my passengers are at first scared and then quickly amazed at the R's ability to tightly hug the road - even the steepest curves - while I'm accelerating into a highway on ramp, or smoothly passing other cars in the midst of heavy rain or in a snow storm! The auto-adjusted headlights with their auto washer squirt never fail to impress as with the many other safety features that came stock with the R's amazing build from the VW factory in Wiesbaden Germany. This is a very special little hatchback. Something like only 4000 were built for worldwide sales in 2013. To be perfectly honest, I knew very little of this when I bought the car. Since driving it I have come to learn and appreciate the brilliant pedigree of VW’s passion, heritage, and craftsmanship that are what makes my 2013 VW R the amazing little land rocket I so love!

Thumbs up to Casey!
I recently had the experience of working with Casey to purchase a new car at Rochester VW. I have bought many new cars and I would like to say that this was the easiest purchase I have ever had. Casey did everything she could to make sure I got the car I wanted. I will definitely refer her to friends when they are looking to purchase a new car. Thank you Casey for being the BEST sales person ever!!
Incredible everyday fun!
Stop looking at 0-60 times and drive the car. I've had many quicker cars on paper, none of them combined the solid feel, driving position and performance that gives the driver confidence to drive a car fast in everyday conditions. The all wheel drive system makes the R worth the extra $ over the GTI. The manual gear box is a pleasure. You can always drive an automatic when you get old.

Kuni BMW Was Excellent
Jay was amazing. The finance team was amazing. It was simple and easy and it never felt like they were trying to oversell us.
Substitute for M5 worked well
Bought my 2013 Golf R when my BMW M5 self-destructed. The M5 was an amazing car, so the poor Golf had big shoes to fill! No, it didn't match the performance of a 507 hp V-10, but the AWD Golf R is an amazing car for the money. Excellent performance and handling, and the hatchback gives it good utility too. (My bike fits fine in the back!) Very reliable car - no major issues at all. The only issue with it is that only the car guys know what it is! (Everyone else thinks it's just a regular Golf.)

Dave Winfrey
Dave Winfrey is great the best salesman on the lot hands down he was very knowledgeable. Made me feel welcome like he knew me all my life
Just simply the best car I've owned
Car cruises like a car with stiffer sports suspension, and when you drop a gear(mine is manual) you feel the pull, and the stock exhaust sound pretty decent but is in no way loud lol. The fuel efficiency is good but if I'm being honest, can be hard not to achieve at times. But I've owed a v6 firebird and a 74 small block Camaro, and I like the golf r more than the big v8.

My experience with Mike was great very informative.
My experience with Mike was great very informative. Took his time to explain everything about the vehicle. Everything about the loan. Try to get me the best loan deal which he did. I have no complaints. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another vehicle from this location.
Performance/ comfort/ style all in one vehicle.
I love my preowned Golf R, it is comfortable and stylish while still having plenty of power for spirited driving in backroads. I drove in one bad snow storm of about 4-5” of snow and it was like the roads were dry. I have equipped my VW with one of the best winter weather tires available which definitely helped. But the VW all-wheel drive system is very good. The interior is very easy to navigate and adjust temperature/ volume of the radio etc. Overall I already have plans to purchase the next generation when the time comes.

I am a new customer to Steven's Creek Toyota and I am
I am a new customer to Steven's Creek Toyota and I am here to give great kudos to Josh Pourkhorsand and Lance Nguyen for their patience and diligence to their jobs. Even though I had never personally met Josh, I texted with him about my interest in buying a new Toyota Prius and he was ON TOP of it, to say the least. As soon as there was a matching car being delivered, Josh texted me, held it for me, negotiated with me and made the whole experience EASY. His manner is easy going and not 'high-pressure-sale-vulture.' I liked him immediately. Patient and great sense of humor put me at ease. Josh explained all the ins and outs of the car. Got it washed and detailed before I bought it. If I need anything, Josh made me feel that I could call him at anytime. Lance gave me the same feeling! He works in the Finance department and he was patient and had a great sense of humor also. He carefully explained all the pre-payment of service work and, even though I was initially resistant to the up-sell, it was obvious me that the pre-paid maintenance package just made good common sense. Great team. Also the guys behind the big counter, Jack Joseph, Mark, "The Bus Driver" (I can't remember his name), all of them had a great sense of humor and contributed to the easy going feeling of this dealership. They all seemed to love their jobs and were HAPPY to be there. And... of course, the Prius I bought from SCT is just what I wanted. I will be returning to SCT for the next 6 years for maintenance so this good-natured, positive atmosphere was so refreshing. I had been to a dealership prior to this (nearest to me - I'll leave it to you to map it) and my treatment was FAR less helpful. I was not made to feel important. Even though I had regularly communicated my desires to a sales agent there, I was always put in the position of having to initiate the inquiries regarding their deliveries. My desires were not kept track of and I was not treated specially. I did not get the 'treated-as-family' feeling that I got from Steven's Creek Toyota. I made the right choice the SCT team. One happy customer. --John, from Los Gatos ;)

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Leman’s Cars in
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Leman’s Cars in Commack, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the level of service we received. My 19-year-old daughter, excited about her dream car—a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack—stopped by the dealership with a friend and was treated with utmost respect and dignity by the sales team. She came home raving about her experience, and as a skeptical father, I was initially hesitant. However, her enthusiasm was contagious, and I agreed to accompany her the next day. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted not just by one, but two salesmen who remembered my daughter from her previous visit. They welcomed her like an old friend, which immediately put us at ease. After spending a couple of hours with Christopher B. and Jack, I realized this was no ordinary used car dealership. These gentlemen were honest, straightforward, and genuinely cared about our experience. Jack took the time to explain everything about the financing process to my daughter, ensuring she understood how loans work, down payments, and refinancing options. It was refreshing to see such transparency, especially in an industry often plagued by skepticism. I am thrilled to say that my daughter is now the proud owner of her dream car, and the entire process was seamless. The loan representative from the bank even shared in our excitement during the welcome call, confirming that everything was as promised. If you’re looking for a car dealership on Long Island, I highly recommend Leman’s Cars in Commack. They have proven to be a trustworthy, respectful, and friendly establishment. If you visit, make sure to ask for Christopher B. or Jack and mention that you read our review. I’m confident they will exceed your expectations just as they did for us. Used car shopping can often be stressful and filled with gimmicks, but Leman’s Cars is a breath of fresh air. Don’t waste your time elsewhere—start your car-buying journey with them first! You won’t regret it! Thank you, Leman’s Cars, for making my daughter’s dream come true! — Paul

I was surprised how smooth the whole car buying process
I was surprised how smooth the whole car buying process was at Rocky Mountain Eurosport. Me being newly widowed, this was my first car purchase by myself. Leon took me under his wing and made me feel comfortable. He even put new tires all around. I love my new little Mazda CX 5. Thank you for helping me with this process. I highly recommend this place for future car purchases.

Craig is truly an OUTSTANDING Salesmen.
Craig is truly an OUTSTANDING Salesmen. Craig took care of the deal and was so nice to both me and wife. Up front and HONEST! You do not find that at car dealers anymore. We live in Oregon and had to drive over 125 miles so Craig worked out a deal for us over the phone which was way better than the other dealer we were working with. And once we got there, they did what they said they'd do! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Craig and his dealership. Craig himself has been there for over 27 YEARS! I know that the next car I buy I will check with them first! Plus, one other thing, they have an AWESOME selection of cars! Thanks Craig and Gene Pankey Motor Company. We are REALLY loving our 2023 Cadillac XT6! Ed and Patty Jorgensen
