It was over 80 years ago when, Karl Knauz the father of the current chairman, Bill Knauz, created the dealership that would bear his name for generations to come. Karl Knauz after years of being a chauffeur opened a gas station in Lake Forest. Did he imagine that this modest beginning would come to be one of the most recognized dealerships in the country. The franchises they have now, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, MINI, Land Rover, Hyundai, smart have put their trust in the Knauz family, (with Mercedes-Benz going all the way back to 1959). They have weathered the good times and the bad, and done so by taking care of customer's using 'The Golden Rule".

Jim, our "salesman" (in name only), was one of the worst I have encountered. I have purchased 4 vehicles at Knauz over the years, with no problems, but this salesman, and the MB dealership in gen the worst I have encountered. I have purchased 4 vehicles at Knauz over the years, with no problems, but this salesman, and the MB dealership in general, have a dismissive, borderline arrogant attitude. They treated my wife poorly--ignoring her, not answering her questions, etc. We have lived in Lake Forest for 25 years, and expected better treatment, but none was received. Will never go back to Knauz--went to Autohaus on Edens. Totally different sales experience--bought our new car in a day--no hassle--from a polite salesman (Kevin) who knew the car well, and was actually interested in helping us decide which car to buy. Knauz needs a wake-up call. Too bad, really, we wanted to give our business to our local dealer, but they left us with no choice. More

Bought a new car from this dealer and found the sales staff to be much better than other MB dealers in the (Northern) Chicago area. The sales staff was pleasant and did not pressure me, even though I wa staff to be much better than other MB dealers in the (Northern) Chicago area. The sales staff was pleasant and did not pressure me, even though I was dressed in casual clothes and relatively young (late thirties). Other dealers took one look at me and hardly gave me the time of day. Knauz dealt with me fairly and I was happy with the deal. More
