New mini

For a long distance sale it went great, we got the car we wanted at a great price. Rob helped make the transaction run smooth. I would say if you want a Mini, call Rob at Knauz Mini. Marcia

Professional

I started looking for my third Mini about 6 months ago (I own two 1275 classic Cooper S's). I visited the mini dealer nearest me and was appalled. High pressure, arrogant as if they were doing me a favor to let me buy a new mini at above list price. I started looking online and found one that was pretty close to what I was looking for at Knauz. Rob Hill quoted a price and then I had a "domestic discussion" about why I needed a third Mini. Rob sold the Mini I was interested in before the end of the "domestic discussion". I subsequently ordered my new Cooper S and Rob was great, providing delivery date and making all the arrangements for delivery. The entire sales process was the best I have experienced at a dealership. Cole Syslo went through all the controls and details very thoroughly. The service advisor Steve answered all my gearhead questions. I was pleased to learn Cole will schedule a follow up to answer and questions now that I have had an opportunity to drive my new Mini. Thanks guys for the great experience.

Excellence in Car Buying Experience

We worked with Rob Hill. It took us less than an hour to go in, test drive, negotiate an offer, and leave with a huge smile on our faces over the deal we were able to make on a Mini Clubman. The salesman, Rob, and the sales manager, were so nice, non-aggressive, and actually kind, that I left wondering if we had actually just bought a car. It felt like we were working with family. They knew we had just come from another Mini dealer and had had a terrible experience, and it seemed that they worked extra hard to make sure we had an extra good experience with them. It worked! I can't say enough. Excellent service in every way.

Excellent Service and Buying Experience

I just upgraded my Countryman to a JCW and I couldn't be happier. I received excellent service from Rob; he is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The excellent service I always receive from Knauz Mini is just part of the great experience of owning a MINI. Finance team members were also great!

Great buying experience

Recently I started my research for a vehicle and started calling and visiting dealers. I was highly surprised at the level of aggressiveness with which dealers dealt with me and almost everybody wanted me to drive the car out of the dealership the same day and they were very rude some even not being courteous. This all had made my experience very sour and then I came across Rob from Knouz Mini dealership. The car that i was interested in was luckily the best offer that i was getting. I stay 2.5 hours away from this dealer but just based on few emails and a few phone calls Rob reserved the car for me and even put a "sold" sticker on in. I drove the next day and took the delivery and that was the first time I paid any money to him( he reserved the car for me even without taking any advance). A true gentleman and a man of his words.

Mayank, thank you for your feedback! We are so happy to hear the 2.5 hour distance was worth the trip to Knauz and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to Rob. Thank you again and Happy Motoring in your new MINI!

Great Buying Experience!

Rob was great to work with when making a recent purchase of a used car. I never felt pressured and he went the extra mile to make sure certain requests of mine were met. Doug, too, in finance was very friendly.

Excellent Sales Service to Match the Product!

From the initial sales contact to the build process, price negotiation, and financing Rob Hill provided professional, friendly service through out. I'd recommend him and Knauz Mini to one and all.

Couldn't be happier!

I just purchased a volcanic orange with black and white checkered side mirrors four door mini S . It was totally fun to design the car myself --a refreshing, sporty change from my SUV! I love the way the car drives, with the option for more zip or more fuel economy. My personal salesman, Jerry, was very attentive and generous and Cole, was truly a "genius" in helping me navigate all the high-tech features. He was very patient and helpful .

Amy, thank you for your post! We are so happy to hear you had a great experience with Jerry and Cole and we will know they will appreciate your very kind words. Thank you again and enjoy your new MINI!

outstanding!!!

I am beyond impressed with the first rate, exceptional quality of service working with Rob Hill at Knauz. I just bought my first car by myself and it was such an easy and fun experience. Rob is highly knowledgable, friendly and competent and I will always go to Knauz. He had my best interests in mind and defies the negative stereotype that car salespeople have. I am so happy with my new Mini! Thank you, Rob, and the excellent team at Mini Knauz!! I am forever grateful for all of your help and professionalism.

Fast, Responsive - just like my new Mini

We worked with Jerry, always very prompt in returning phone calls. A breeze to work with, no hard sales techniques. The price was the best in the area. This is my third Mini and I will keep buying from Knauz!
