She even stayed well after the close to make certain I was comfortable working all the instruments (as this is my 1st purchase). I would definatley purchase from her again. More
I've purchased a BMW from three different dealerships and the experience I had working with Judy Powell at Knauz BMW was the best by far. Judy was very pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough, all without bein the experience I had working with Judy Powell at Knauz BMW was the best by far. Judy was very pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough, all without being pushy. I never felt like she was just trying to make a sale. She appreciated my enthusiasm to get the car I wanted and really went out of her way to help that happen. It was truly a uniquely enjoyable experience working with Judy and I fully intend to go back to her. I would highly recommend working with Judy. In addition to a great sales experience, working with the finance department was quick and easy. I was amazed at how quick and simple the process was. Purchasing from Knauz BMW was truly a wonderful experience all the way around. More

This dealership is exactly 13.5 miles FARTHER from my house than another BMW dealer on the north shore, and just as far from the Mercedes Benz dealer that sold me an SUV in 2006. I've been loyal to that house than another BMW dealer on the north shore, and just as far from the Mercedes Benz dealer that sold me an SUV in 2006. I've been loyal to that brand for many years, have owned 3 vehicles, and started my search for a little roadster there this spring. Shopping the BMW Z4 and the Lexus ISC seemed a formality...I was thinking about a Mercedes SLK hardtop convertible for a looong time. But then I started having trouble with the lead times from Mercedes, and Fields BMW basically IGNORED me while I wasted an hour in their showroom begging to speak to someone about spending $60k on a car with only 2 seats! I found my way up to Knauz just because they had a car to test drive and they seemed like they wanted to sell me one. My first visit was impressive - someone stopped what they were doing pull up 2 different Z4 models for me to check out and answered every question I through at them. I was stubborn, kept after the Mercedes, and even went back to Fields - this time I called first for an appointment (same results tho, no car to test drive, and no salesperson who knew ANYTHING about the BMW Z4 or its options - terrible!). I kept going back to Judy Powell at Knauz - I probably made her nuts with questions about the technology, sound system, color combos etc. but she kept coming through and had her teammate Dave Benck or the sales manager (Bob Graziano) available to me if she couldn't be there. She basically STOLE this business from Mercedes Benz. I've enjoyed the summer of '12 flying around in my blue Z with the premium sound blasting and the top down. I often think of how Judy Powell and the Knauz BMW team won me over...of course I'll have the car serviced and stored there. It's worth the extra 13.5 miles. More
Judy awesome in her friendliness and competence, as well as the manager of the department. I also liked the finance department. Also really liked the "new guy" in finance named John Sherrier. Everyone moved as the manager of the department. I also liked the finance department. Also really liked the "new guy" in finance named John Sherrier. Everyone moved everything along as quickly as possible. Thanks! More
I worked with Judy Powell; THE best sales person I have ever worked with in any category. She had all the requisite knowledge and experience one would want from a good car sales person PLUS the X factor t ever worked with in any category. She had all the requisite knowledge and experience one would want from a good car sales person PLUS the X factor that made her absolutely exceptional -- the intuition and other "intangibles" that made my purchase as fun as driving "the ultimate driving machine". She took the time to get to know me personally and what I was looking for; helped me look at several options and finally, helped me custom-design the best BMW I've ever had and this is my seventh Beemer. The next time you're looking for a BMW, ask for Judy Powell to get superlative service, wisdom, patience and support. More
Knauz BMW is a top rate business. This is my 5th car lease from them, which in itself, says a great deal about the way they do business. This year, Judy Powell assisted me with the vehicle selection an lease from them, which in itself, says a great deal about the way they do business. This year, Judy Powell assisted me with the vehicle selection and ultimately, the new vehicle orientation. She is skilled at understanding a customers priorities, likes and dislikes, and assuring that their needs are met. She spent a great deal of time teaching me about the vehicle's new features. I was very impressed to find out that she did so on a day that she had been scheduled off, so that she could accomodate my schedule. I couldn't be more pleased! More
Fadwa did a great job in working with us to help us decide on the right car to buy. In particular she helped guide us on whether we should go for a used car or a new/courtesy car decide on the right car to buy.

This was the first time I bought a certified used car from a dealer and thanks to Judy and the others it was a great experience. Judy was knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. She did a gr from a dealer and thanks to Judy and the others it was a great experience. Judy was knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. She did a great job following up with me just after the purchase as well as 6 months down the road. I found something small after purchase that I was worried might not be covered under the standard warranty, but Judy made sure I was taken care of. This leads me a very important trait that she has, she is honest and trustworthy. If you are in the market for a new or used BMW I strongly suggest making a trip to Knauz, even if it is a bit out of the way for you. More
I purchased a BMW 328i back in 2008 from Knauz BMW and Judy Powell was my Client Advisor. Judy was very pleasant to work with and took the time to work with me to insure I was satisfied with my new purch Judy Powell was my Client Advisor. Judy was very pleasant to work with and took the time to work with me to insure I was satisfied with my new purchase. Even after my purchase of the BMW, she continued to follow up with me over the four years via e-mail to advise of sales or other service options occuring at Knauz BMW. I had the car services at Knauz BMW regularly during my ownership of the car and was very happy with the service department and the work they performed also. Recently in 2012 when I was looking for another vehicle, a Landrover LR2, the first person I though of was Judy. I contacted Judy Powell via e-mail to see if she could assist me again and she responded immediatly back that she could. Even though Judy was a Knauz BMW Advisor,she worked with me in conjunction with the Knauz Landrover Sales Guide to insure I found the vehicle I was looking for and was again satified with my purchase. I cannot say enough about Judy Powell and would hightly recommend her as a Sales Advisor for any of the car brands sold at Knauz. More
