We have leased multiple cars and SUVs over the years and we couldn’t be more pleased with the excellent customer service from start to completing the deal! Chris Moldas has been our excellent sales advisor. we couldn’t be more pleased with the excellent customer service from start to completing the deal! Chris Moldas has been our excellent sales advisor. He is personable, professional, and knowledgeable about all Ford and Lincoln vehicles! The best part is that Chris is honest and not pushy! This is most important to us. We know that he always has our best interest in mind. (He even went out of his way to set up our garage door opener when delivering our car!) The Klaben dealership can’t be beat and we always ask for Chris Moldas! Great guy on a great team! More

100/10 service! This location is like a family and they treat their customers like that as well. Everyone is beyond kind and welcoming. From the first phone call to This location is like a family and they treat their customers like that as well. Everyone is beyond kind and welcoming. From the first phone call to closing the deal it was so pleasant. Luke and Kyle were the dream team. They kept me posted all the time with where the car was tracking, even calling the delivery truck to get it delivered quickly, their communication is incredible and so appreciated. Roscoe was also absolutely amazing as well, he really was so kind and helpful! Angela in finance helped me at the end and was beyond warm and welcoming too! Dealerships can be pretty intimidating in my opinion but not Klaben, they’re so incredible. Rich has really changed the game and Klaben Ford/Lincoln is unlike any dealership I have ever been to. If you are looking for a new car definitely give them a call, highly recommend! More

We had been stuck in a horrible situation with a different dealer and had just about lost hope when the team at Klaben offered to help. They got us out of the situation we were in and got us into a different dealer and had just about lost hope when the team at Klaben offered to help. They got us out of the situation we were in and got us into a car that we absolutely love. The entire team at Klaben exhibits an over the top level of hospitality that it is clear that extreme customer care is simply the culture of the company. We will never go anywhere else More

My husband and I came to see the team at Klaben because we were stuck in a horrible situation with a different dealer. The level of hospitality shown to us by the team at Klaben was unmatched by any exper we were stuck in a horrible situation with a different dealer. The level of hospitality shown to us by the team at Klaben was unmatched by any experience we’ve ever had with another dealer in our lives. The way we were treated by the entire team at Klaben is a testament to the culture they have within the company. Rich, Christine, David, (and I apologize I cannot remember the name of the lovely woman who helped us with our paperwork) were all exceptional. Even the team members who were simply walking by made it a point to stop and say hello and see if there was anything we needed. Based on how we were treated, we will never go anywhere else for our cars in the future. Thank you to the team at Klaben! More

I can't say enough about Bo! I was embarrassed to submit my credit report doe to a divorce and wasn't sure I was going to qualify for a loan. Bo made sure that I knew Klaben wa I was embarrassed to submit my credit report doe to a divorce and wasn't sure I was going to qualify for a loan. Bo made sure that I knew Klaben was different from other dealership and they can sometimes work with people in my situation. Bo explained how the program works and didn't treat me any different from a customer with a great credit store. Bo went above and beyond to make sure the deal went smooth and I was satisfied every step of the way! I didn't feel like a customer I felt like a friend! I will certainly come back to Klaben on the future and will recommend to anyone who will listen. More
