Chris Knutson has enjoyed working for Niello Acura since 2003. He uses the Acura concierge approach to serve his clients for now and all future relations. Clients continue to be completely impressed by how his demonstration drive is more of a real world driving seminar which shows off the features and benefits of the vehicle they are considering. He enjoys spending his free time with his wonderful wife, raising two nieces, adventuring with their two Parson Russell Terriers, and hiking California trails, peaks and mountains. Chris and Niello Acura follow our Mission statement: We are committed to providing distinctive automotive products and exceptional service while treating our customers and employees with unyielding integrity.

Mary and Chris were exceptional to work with. They both took the initiative to make the purchase of my Acura TSX possible. They diligently worked with finance to acquire the best loan that met my needs. I took the initiative to make the purchase of my Acura TSX possible. They diligently worked with finance to acquire the best loan that met my needs. I'd also like to thank the finance person that negotiatied with lenders for me, wish I recalled his name, as he deserves kudos also. Elizabeth Garcia was also a pleasure to work with on the final sale. In addition to being so diligent at shopping a lender for me they all provided excellent customer service. From the get go, they were friendly, pleasant to work with and knowleadgable. I felt they were on my side and were not in anyway your typical "Care Salesman" per say... I've been very pleased from the get go and I very much have liked the followup I've received by email. Being in the sales industry myself, I appreciate the importance of customer service, knoweledge and follow up. Niello Acura certainly has is together and I will definitley recommend my family, friends and colleagues to purchase form Niello Acura. More

When looking for a new or used vehicle, look no further than Niello Dealerships. A friend recommended we check their website for a quality used car and as it turned out they were right. If you find som than Niello Dealerships. A friend recommended we check their website for a quality used car and as it turned out they were right. If you find something you like, don’t bother with emailing through the site. Go in and see the sales team, there is no pressure and the vehicle will be as nice as it appears online. We went to Niello Acura and were immediately greeted by Chris Knutsen, Sales Consultant and Mary Alouf, Sales Advisor. They showed us the vehicle we saw online and gave us time alone to look it over. After viewing it they answered all our questions and at no point did they try to persuade us to buy it. We reached an agreement on the purchase and followed up with a test drive; it drove as nice as it appeared. Upon returning to the dealership, we were served bottled waters and coffee and they had us in and out in no time. The best part was Mary and Chris treated us like we were purchasing a new luxury vehicle. These days there are plenty of dealerships to purchase a car but very few with quality service. It has been two weeks since our purchase from Niello and Mary’s follow up been great. Thanks, Barry More

Ver This review is based on my experience in sales. If you're planning to purchase a car from this dealership, Chris Knutson is the guy to talk to. Very friendly, welcoming, and no pressuring or pushing you. Customer satisfaction guaranteed. You can learn a lot about the car as well when going through his test drives. Very informative indeed. I strongly recommend Chris. Of course don't be fooled by the greedy lies and deceitful gimmick of a car salesman, but this guy you can trust. He'll surely bust your bugs. More
