I met with Dave Benk and let him know exactly what I was looking for, he showed me that and gave me a few more options that may have sparked my interest but never going as far as pushing me to buy. Nonetheless, I left with my first option and I am completely happy with my new 3 series! Most car buying experiences are horrible and dreading, especially having to sit there all day is no fun. I was in and out in no time! The longest part about this, was me trying to pick which car I was going to leave with! I will definitely return! More

I had a wonderful experience leasing my new 430i convertible My salesman David Benck was very patient with me as I test drove different BMW models in order to find the one that best fit my needs. Dave helped me My salesman David Benck was very patient with me as I test drove different BMW models in order to find the one that best fit my needs. Dave helped me find the right car that fit my budget and met my needs. I have been a customer at Knauz since 2000. I will not go to any other BMW dealer. Everyone at the dealership treats me like a valued friend. I wish that all businesses operated like Knauz BMW! More

Easy no hassle car buying experience I called about a used 5 series that was just brought in and an hour later I was at the dealership for a test drive. The car was in great condition an I called about a used 5 series that was just brought in and an hour later I was at the dealership for a test drive. The car was in great condition and already for a test drive when I arrived. Sam told my wife and I everything there was to know about the vehicle before we left the lot and he also showed us many of the features as we were out with the car. My wife and I changed our payment method a few times since we also purchased a house that same weekend and are in the process of moving out of state but Sam and his team were very patient with us and worked through the process with us. We are so grateful to them for the experience that we had here at Knauz. When we arrived to pick up the vehicle, Spencer gave us a detailed walk through of all of the cars features and was also very patient with us as he addressed several of our questions. Lastly, the financial portion that Doug worked on with us was made very easy and he made things very clear to us during the process so that we felt confident in our financing option that we selected. Overall it was a very professional, top notch experience and when we are ready for our next BMW even though we will be out of state, Sam and the Knauz team will be the first place that we look. Thank you to everyone for the great experience and we love our new to us CPO 5 series! More

Everyone should read this Thank you to everyone that reads this. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the whole staff at Karl Knauz BMW, Lake Bluff IL. In particular R Thank you to everyone that reads this. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the whole staff at Karl Knauz BMW, Lake Bluff IL. In particular Rolly Davidson and Spencer Parker. Long story short, I live in Montana but found the vehicle that I wanted in Lake Bluff. I emailed Karl Knauz dealership and was imeaditly contacted by my new friend Rolly Davidson. He made it a pleasure to buy my vehicle. Within a couple of days I flew to Chicago, got to the dealership and was immediately greeted with a kind and courteous staff led by Rolly. Within a brief time we had a quick lunch together while my car was being attended to and with a smile and a hand shake I was on the road driving my new purchase back to Montana. They even checked up on me as I traveled to make sure my trip was going safely. I honestly couldn't say enough about the effort that was put into my visit to ensure that I didn't travel that far for nothing. I would highly recommend Karl Knauz BMW in Lake Bluff IL if you are thinking about a luxury vehicle and more particular, I would like to suggest you call Rolly if you want the best service available. Chris Peter Montana,,,customer for life. More

Worked with Brock Gordon, he was fantastic. Doug Kamp in finance was super helpful in making the out-of-state title and registration seamless. Plates came to my door FedEx. Beautiful facility, beautiful people. I recently learned that Brock passed away, I felt honored to meet him, brief as it was, he will be a hard act to follow. Rest easy my friend. More

Patience, Knowledge, Kindness (and some more patience)!!! We had no idea what we wanted to buy (or IF we wanted to buy) when I picked up the phone to call Knauz, knowing they had all of the 3 major brands tha We had no idea what we wanted to buy (or IF we wanted to buy) when I picked up the phone to call Knauz, knowing they had all of the 3 major brands that we were considering for a new vehicle. I was luckily put in contact with Bob Geisheker who was patient on the phone with me as I rambled on about why I was calling. He made me feel heard and not quite as crazy as I thought I sounded; I scheduled an appointment to come and meet with him to look at cars. Over the course of a Friday evening and most of the day Saturday we bounced between Knauz and another dealership but found ourselves coming back to Knauz because of the service and their selections of vehicles as well as their BMW genius who was super knowledgable and patient, Spencer Parker. We were honest with Bob and told him we were looking elsewhere too and at other makes of vehicles. We told him the car was for me but my husband had some opinions too. NOT ONCE did Bob speak to my husband and not me. Explaining every detail of the car during the test drive, Spencer spoke to me. They were kind and courteous and didn't push when we said we were looking at other cars and other dealerships. Alas, we ended up at Knauz anyway where they had the people we liked and the car I loved. Never once did we feel like we should apologize for looking around and they consistently seemed happy that we were there. Bob thoroughly explained pricing and Spencer sat down with me and went over EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of the car and even offered to answer questions moving forward (and answered questions about my husbands car that wasn't even there). Doug in finance was relatable and friendly too! We are in our 40's and this was hands down, the best, and most comfortable, buying experience we have ever been through. Knauz has made us lifelong customers through genuine caring and a thorough knowledge of the product they are selling. More

Superior Buying Experience! I had been shopping around both on-line and with several other dealers before I found my way in to Knauz. I'm glad I decided to check out one more pl I had been shopping around both on-line and with several other dealers before I found my way in to Knauz. I'm glad I decided to check out one more place...they were fantastic to deal with! It was a significantly better experience than I had at the other dealerships that I visited. The Knauz team was knowledgeable, informative, no-pressure and a great price! They did exactly what they said they would do. My sales adviser, Rolly Davidson, was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a BMW, you owe it to yourself to go see the team at Knauz! More

Top-Notch Experience From beginning to end, we had a great experience acquiring our first BMW. The entire transaction was professional and they made everything simple. W From beginning to end, we had a great experience acquiring our first BMW. The entire transaction was professional and they made everything simple. We really felt like Knauz staff had our best interest in mind when assisting us through the process. I suspect many have had not so great experiences in car shopping. Don't think twice about walking into this dealership. I now know why they have been in Lake Bluff for 85 years. Thank you Ray, Sam & Doug! More
