Worry free experience Met with Chris Moldas to get my wife a new car. Told him what we were looking for and were shown the vehicle that we were after. No sales gimmicks or Met with Chris Moldas to get my wife a new car. Told him what we were looking for and were shown the vehicle that we were after. No sales gimmicks or cheap sales pitches to deal with! He took time to answer our questions and was very knowledgeable on all specs of the vehicle. The quality and service go beyond what words can describe! The final positive experience with Klaben was getting to meet Rich Klaben himself! To have the owner of the dealership working right alongside of the other associates just shows that this dealer is here to ensure your experience is exceptional Everytime! More

Kent Klaben Ford Lincoln was an amazing experience! From the moment I contacted Brandon Brinkley, he worked SO hard to get me a brand new car with EVERYTHING I wanted and the extra bells and whistles at From the moment I contacted Brandon Brinkley, he worked SO hard to get me a brand new car with EVERYTHING I wanted and the extra bells and whistles at a price that was within my budget, a finance charge that was next to nothing, and a car I absolutely LOVE! He was pleasant and funny and not pushy at ALL! He took such great care of my mom and I! He's extremely knowledgeable about all of the vehicles and figured out exactly what car would be best for me! Mr Klaben himself made sure that I was taken care of and able to purchase this car! Thank you Mr Klaben! And to Jennifer, you were so pleasant, kind and caring! Buying this car was the most pleasant car buying experience I have EVER had and we felt like royalty the entire time! Thanks to all of you! More
