Dave, Thank you for taking the time to post a review regarding your recent visit. Your feedback is very important to us. Although your 5-Star review shows a good experience, we obviously fell short in delivering you a level of experience you expect, and deserve, when you put your trust in the Klaben Team. I apologize for leaving you feeling as though we were anything less than completely transparent. We share your feedback with our entire team and reflect on its content for use in coaching, counseling, and celebrating. Might I have a few more minutes of your time to gain additional insight? My personal contact information is below. We appreciate your business, but more important to us are the relationships we stand to gain and maintain based on trust and confidence. Thank you again for your feedback. I and the entire Klaben Team remain at your service. Aaron Heinlein C: 330.352.1925 aheinlein@klaben.com

Klaben Ford Lincoln responded

Thank you for taking the time to share your candid feedback from your recent experience here at Klaben. We ask for feedback via multiple venues because your opinion is very important to the entire Klaben Team. We read and value honest feedback that tells us how we are doing when it comes to meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers. We then use it for coaching and counseling opportunities. After reading your comments I was embarrassed and frustrated to say the very least. I apologize for our multiple missed steps in communication and the lack of empathy shown in keeping you up to date on progress during your visit and delays in completing your vehicle. No excuses. In reflection I understand your frustration, disappointment, and lost confidence. Might I have a few more minutes of your time at your convenience to personally apologize, gain additional insight, and find a resolution you are comfortable with? Please let me know when is convenient that I reach out by phone. Thank you again for your feedback and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Sean Bradford - sbradford@klaben.com
