It was almost 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".

I am so sorry to hear that you had a less than exceptional time with us. It's very strange to hear such negative feedback about Bob, he is one of our best, and is a 5 star employee. Could you please let us know what day you came in? We cannot seem to find you in our system. But we would love if you could please come back in and give us another chance. We hope you have a great rest of your day.
