About our dealership

This seller has been on Cars.com since January 2004.
It was over 80 years ago when Karl Knauz the father of the current chairman opened a gas station in Lake Forest. Since then the Knauz family has weathered the good times and the bad and done so by taking care of customers using 'The Golden Rule". In addition to our car dealerships we also have a state of the art; Body Shop & Detail Center plus a Pre-Owned Center Knauz North (located approximately 1.2 miles north of the Autopark) with an indoor vehicle and tire storage facility. Even in today's uncertain times you can always find a friendly face at the Knauz Autopark and they will greet you with a smile.
The Golden Rule. Turning Knauz Customers into friends for over 80 years

We had a great experience working with Peter Polanski!

We had a great experience working with Peter Polanski! He made the whole process super smooth and answered all our questions along the way. The dealership is really convenient since they handle almost everything in-house. First time at Knauz, but definitely not the last—thanks Peter and team!

Just purchased a GLE 450.

Just purchased a GLE 450. The entire process was extremely smooth and trouble free due to two people. Our sales consultant, Peter Polanski did a terrific job finding the vehicle that matched our specific expectations. Agreeing to the purchase price was a pain-free exercise. Peter presented the numbers upfront, including a specific line item breakdown, which allowed us to agree on pricing relatively quickly. When the car was delivered, Peter conducted a comprehensive tutorial regarding effective operation of all accessories, apps, etc. I can’t say enough regarding Peter’s attention to detail and ensuring that every question was answered. The other person that enhanced our overall purchased experience was Roxanne Peplow, who is the Knauz dealership Business Manager. She clearly articulated financing options that were available, along with supplemental car care programs such as preferred plus protection, and every day wear and mechanical coverage option, along with paint protection. Again, the entire process was smooth and very professional. I can’t say enough about the professionalism exhibited by the people at Knauz who helped us through this process.

They have a great team from sales to service.

They have a great team from sales to service. Very friendly professional people who provide 5 star service all around. Our salesman Matt Pudlow was great and would recommend him to friends seeking BMW.
