Demetrios Mirissis
Client Advisor
Bio:
My name is recognizable here at the dealership for being a part of Habberstad BMW of Huntington for almost 30 years. The community knows me for over 2 decades of sports car racing. I love working for the Habberstad organization because we share similar values. When it comes to my clients, I will take that additional step to ensure they are treated with respect and professionalism. The best aspect of my career is my commitment and longevity to the brand. I have worked in this industry for 35 years, joining the Habberstad family in 1993. I have always followed four rules: product knowledge, honesty, fairness, and friendliness. I love all German cars. Engineering and safety are everything to me. Outside of work, I enjoy family time with my wife, Maria, and our son, Dean. My son, in particular, has begun to follow in my sports car footsteps. My hobbies include motorcycling, competitive shooting, and sports car racing. I'm a tremendous fan of Formula One Racing and have not missed a race since 1994. I co-owned, raced and managed a private race team, Pinnacle Racing, competing in an E36 M3, (co-sponsored by the owner of Habberstad BMW), and I've been a national race track instructor for BMW and Porsche cars for well over 2 decades. Please come visit me so I can show you what other BMW centers do well, Habberstad BMW does brilliantly!

My best skills are in mechanics, customer service and organization. I’m originally from Melville and went to Farmingdale State College. I enjoy playing football, hiking, biking and fixing random things. I’ve traveled to many interesting places in my life, including France, Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. I have my eyes set on also traveling to Dubai, the Maldives and Spain in the near future. I’m proud to have a great family that lives in many different places. They let me know when I can make a difference to communities they care about and I’m eager to help those in need. I like to talk about just about anything that isn’t politics or religion since that can be very personal. I dream of changing the stigma of car dealerships. The car-buying experience should be simple, easy and painless for our clients. Customers appreciate working with me because I’m easy-going and listen to their needs. I make myself available whenever I’m needed. I’m proud to say that I have many repeat clients and referrals because I do my job well.
