2016 Countryman S ALL 4

I wanted a quick transaction for a new car. Buying a car these days in usually not a good experience. I worked with Rob Hill. Rob made the transaction easy and painless. Rob knows the process well and gets the car ready and I was out the door with a price I felt comfortable with.

Tremendous

I worked predominately with Rob Hill and my satisfaction is 7.0 out of 5.0 - simply, tremendous. I was an out of state purchaser of a Mini Cooper Countryman. Rob and his team preemptively outlined every step in the process so I was able to come in, test drive, and leave with the car. There is nothing worse than an unprofessional "pushy" dealership. Rob and team are the opposite - very professional, on your watch and value add advisors who guide you through the process.

Top notch sales and finance staff!

Excellent sales experience. Rob Hill was a pleasure to work with. From trade-in to sales to finance was seamless. Delivery of my new Mini was detailed by Cole, the Mini expert. I look forward to the next three years driving experience.

First MINI

My wife and I recently bought a MINI countryman. We found one that fit all the requirements on Knauz's website. We contacted them and were put in touch with Rob Hill who helped us through the purchase. The experience was smooth and trouble free. Highly recommended.

If you're after a MINI, this is the place to buy it!

A friend has a 2009 MINI that he bought at Knauz and he highly recommended the folks there. He wasn't wrong. I worked with Rob HIll on the sales end. Very low key guy with amazing knowledge of the cars. No pressure, which is a 180 degree switch from what I'm used to dealing with over the many years I've been buying cars (I'm 70). Their pricing was very fair from the start - no high initial price needing a lot of haggling to get to something fair. Once we completed the deal, they have a "genius" Cole Syslo (kind of like the Apple Genius Bar) who spent an hour or so going over all the details of the car (and believe me, there are a TON of things you can setup custom for yourself). All in all a very pleasurable experience. Happy to rate them highly and recommend them to anyone looking.

BIG mistake if you don't purchase from KNAUZ

I just purchased my second Mini at Knauz. Rob helped me from beginning thru purchase. Rob has superb follow through, he's very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. The entire staff at KNAUZ is A+ . Buying a car is not my favorite pastime. The staff at KNAUZ makes buying a car fun and easy! Steve Kwasman broke everything down for me and Cole was the finishing touch in setting me up in my new Countryman. KNAUZ CANNOT BE BEAT!!!!

Purchased a new Mini

Rob Hill and his team , at Knauz Mini Cooper, are incredibly knowledgeable about the products they sell. That knowledge helped me find the perfect vehicle to fit my needs. Rob was very patient in answering all of my questions and I appreciated his expertise. After deciding on my purchase, Cole Syslo made sure that I understood how to use all the functions of the car's systems. There was allot to go over and he was incredibly thorough in his explanations. I am an extremely satisfied customer.

Great team

These guys make buying a MINI easy. Rob was super responsive with our questions and we agreed on a price quickly with Steve & got the car the next day. Their techie guy went over the features in the car logically & efficiently and the paperwork took only minutes. Since then, off to the races. We are loving it. Thank you all!

Could not be any happier....Merry Christmas to me!

I had a wonderful car buying experience at Knauz and could not have asked for anything more or anything better. Rob Hill was very pleasant to work with and was very helpful and knowledgeable in assisting me pick out the perfect vehicle. Everyone that I came in contact with at Knauz was very friendly and helpful. I am extremely satisfied with my car buying experience and would recommend everyone to go see Rob Hill. I am completely in love with my new vehicle and don't plan on getting a new one anytime soon, but if I do, I'm going back to Knauz to see Rob.

Thanks so much for the feedback! We'll be sure to let Rob know that you had a great experience!

Best car buying experience ever!

I'm not the kind of person who enjoys dealing with salesmen of any kind, however, my recent experience at Knauz beat all of my expectations and challenged my previous views of salesmen and dealerships alike. Rob Hill was forthright and helpful. He made it easy for me to test drive the cars I was interested in. When I had made my final choice of vehicle, Rob was honest and didn't mess around with haggling back and forth and talking to manager upon manager's manager! I researched my car extensively and knew that the price we settled on was a good and fair price. Doug over at the BMW dealership next to the Mini dealership took care of me with financing and was an absolute gem of a guy who informed me of extra warranty and care packages I could have purchased, but never pressured me to buy them. What a refreshing experience! Highly recommend the Knauz family of dealerships for you next vehicle purchase. If you are into Minis, stop in and ask for Rob Hill!
