Absolutely the best dealership! Rich and his team are awesome! I have worked with many dealerships and have never found one to be so honest, helpful and just plain easy to work with. I highly recommend awesome! I have worked with many dealerships and have never found one to be so honest, helpful and just plain easy to work with. I highly recommend them! My sales person, Louis Polos went out of his way to find something for me (at a time when vehicles are scarce due to Covid 19). He responded to every text I sent him and continued to work - even when it seemed like we wouldn't find a car to meet my needs. I am happy to say he found something for me and I couldn't be happier. He has also helped my daughter buy her first car and she loved him as well. If you are in the market for a new or used car - I highly recommend Klaben Ford/Lincoln and Louis! More

There are not enough accolades to describe my amazing experience with Klaben Ford . I actually live in northern Virginia and found out through friends here about Klaben when I couldn’t find a reliable de experience with Klaben Ford . I actually live in northern Virginia and found out through friends here about Klaben when I couldn’t find a reliable dealership In my area to help me with an issue with my Ford Escape. Klaben took over for me and provided us with all the support, direction and education that was lacking to get the proper outcome to an otherwise nightmare of a situation. Thanks to Richard Klaben, his service manager Tom, along with their entire staff we were able to get our 2018 Ford Escape engine replaced - for virtually nothing even though it was out of warranty . All Mr. Klaben kept saying was “ it’s the right thing to do and we want all Ford customers to be happy and satisfied . “ He even offered to send one of his own employees here - 400 miles away - to pick up our car and repair it at no cost to us ! I actually refer to this as going way above and beyond “ the right thing”. Thank you doesn’t come close to showing our appreciation for such a great dealership , along with an amazing staff from top to bottom . When we buy our next car I see a road trip to Ohio in our future ! Thanks Klaben Ford . You all are the best . Nancy and Will Mc. More
