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

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.

Exceptional service ~ Highly recommend knauz and their

Exceptional service ~ Highly recommend knauz and their team. I recently bought a 2025 E350 4matic Mercedes and from the start the whole experience was seamless. I worked with Peter and Ryan and they made my buying experience one of the easiest by far. Peter was super helpful with showing me all the features and how to operate my new car. I'm not very tech savvy and after Peters instructions, I felt very comfortable with how to navigate all of the (new to me) features. Thank you so much for all your help.

It was a real pleasure working with Sam Picchietti.

It was a real pleasure working with Sam Picchietti. His no pressure approach and knowledge of the product he is selling is second to none.
