Just bought a new Lincoln. Had it built. On the day I arrived to do the paperwork and pick it up, there were no less than seven people who got involved (!) including Richard Kl Had it built. On the day I arrived to do the paperwork and pick it up, there were no less than seven people who got involved (!) including Richard Klaben, the owner. Richard set the tone, sharing how important it is for him that each Klaben person listens to the customer and uses empathy for the customer's situation before making any decision--whether it be a decision about pricing, delivery, service, or any extra that might need attention. My salesperson, Doug Lewin, is a great human being who counts himself successful ONLY if the customer is 100 percent satisfied. Sean Bradford, in service, showed up to share a dozen interesting and heartfelt points of view about customer service and how his shop is committed to it. Frankly, given that Lincoln built and delivered the car during an autoworker's strike, there were one or several things that went wrong during the process. At each of these points, Klaben stepped in to "make it right." I've been with Klaben for eight years and that phrase is one I have heard very, very often. When something goes wrong. They fix the problem. Period. I have never had any Klaben employee dance around, trying to deflect a problem with smoke and mirrors. This organization wants to "do the right thing." Each time. Every time. Klaben is going all in on Lincoln, building a new showroom, committing to provide dedicated Lincoln service. At this point, they are the best Lincoln dealer in the state. When the new digs are done, they will be one of the best Lincoln dealerships in the country. Lucky me. Lucky you. Go meet these people. They will make you smile. More
