Hi, my name is Peter Polanski, and I am one of the Sales Consultants at Mercedes-Benz. I was born and raised in Poland, and came to America at 11 years old, so I am fluent in Polish. I attended Libertyville High School, and enjoyed my time on the Varsity Swimming and Water Polo teams. I graduated from the College of Lake County, and then began my automotive career over 5 years ago, I've been with Knauz since early 2016. Outside of work I enjoy being active; kayaking, soccer and playing semi-professional paintball are a few of my favorites. I also enjoy photography, go-karting, and driving AMG® vehicles on the track. I like to cook and have a good cigar friends and family. It's great to work for such a warm and reputable company as Knauz. I appreciate all the different makes that we offer and enjoy educating our customers on all of the products Mercedes-Benz has so offer!

A wonderful experience I recently moved to Evanston, IL from Massachusetts. After having a Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 for close to two years now, and as anyone who owns a car lik I recently moved to Evanston, IL from Massachusetts. After having a Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 for close to two years now, and as anyone who owns a car like this knows, it's important to have professionals who will take care of your after sales needs and to ensure the car is in top shape. For my, it is very important that I have professionals whom I can reach out to any time, if I have an issue with my car. Professionals who know what they're doing and who will take care of your car just that way you will. I scoped a few different Mercedes-Benz dealers in the Greater Chicago area and after extensive online research, I decided to pick Knauz Continental Autos as my preferred dealership. Coincidentally, I was referred to Peter Polanski at Knauz by my boss at work who had recently purchased a stunning AMG GT from Peter. My boss was full of praise for Peter Polanski and his exceptional professional and friendly way of working. It was such a wonderful positive endorsement, that I immediately reached out to Peter to set up a meeting. Since meeting him, Peter has been nothing but friendly, courteous, understanding and helpful. Though I initially wanted to set up a dealer visit to introduce myself and just have couple of warning lights (oil, fluids etc.) my car checked (its been a while since I did it and I have had a few back-to-back multi-1000 mile drives), my interaction with Peter ended up being a discussion on what could be the next car I can get. Peter, without the usual pushy nature of some dealership that you might see, laid out options based on my needs, future plans without pushing me into a corner and forcing me to make a decision. Peter is understanding enough and we have established a nice relationship in such a short time that I know when the time comes, all I need to do is shoot an email to Peter to get things rolling. The dealership has a lot of options pretty much every time I went in, they have the latest models, plenty of new purchase options as well as lease options and used cars. Peter also set me up with a test drive in an AMG GT, which was an unforgettable experience. The dealership itself is a great, clean and almost everyone I interacted with have been very professional. I did end up going in for a schedule service which Peter set me up with Mike Dube. Mike Dube is this quiet wonderful guy. Very soft spoken and equally professional like the others at Knauz, he set up my car for the scheduled service, got everything checked and even advised me to have my tires rotated (I haven't done this for more than a year now). The whole service experience was a breeze. No unnecessary waiting or anything. When you own a car like a Mercedes-Benz, and if you have a dealership such as Knauz Continental Autos and people like Peter, Mike or Jim Blanchard to take care of it, all you need to do is get yourself in the driver's sear, buckle up and go have a blast driving the beautiful cars. A premium car needs premium care. While I do my part to give my car the world class premium care and treatment, I am glad to know Knauz, Peter, Mike or Jim are there to give it the premium professional care to keep it running nice and smooth. I highly recommend Knauz Continental Autos and for anyone looking for a get a Mercedes-Benz, I suggest reaching out to or asking for Peter Polanski (or Mike Dube or Jim Blanchard in service). This is not to say the others are not good - I just didn't have a chance to work with anyone else directly. I am sure the others are equally wonderful people. Good luck to those looking at getting a Mercedes-Benz. You can't go wrong with Knauz Continental Autos. More

The only thing keeping this rating from a five star is the service department trying to push fees very hard which is different than dealing with Peter. More
