Fantastic Klaben keeps to their word. If they tell you a price, that is the price it is. No going into the finance office and facing untold costs or surprises Klaben keeps to their word. If they tell you a price, that is the price it is. No going into the finance office and facing untold costs or surprises. The salesmen also take the time to make sure you understand everything and are comfortable with your new purchase. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!!! More

Quick, Easy, and Affordable This will be my 5th time going to Klaben Ford in Kent for a vehicle. I have leased my last 4 vehicles which I have loved them all. Now I am 9 months p This will be my 5th time going to Klaben Ford in Kent for a vehicle. I have leased my last 4 vehicles which I have loved them all. Now I am 9 months pregnant and needed to get out of my F150 lease a little early to get something that better suits my soon to be family. I didn't think I would be able to get out of my lease into what I wanted for a decent price. But yet again, Klaben proved me wrong. Roscoe was able to help me get out of the lease into an Explorer ( which was exactly what I wanted) for a reasonable monthly payment. As always the process was very quick and painless. Roscoe helped me to get the best deal and Christine helped me to get the best warranties. Shes also the quickest when it comes to the finance paper work. I highly recommend Klaben Ford in Kent. They have treated my as family for the past 7 years! More

Rich Klaben and Dave Mott made it their mission to locate the vehicle I really wanted. After a week they found me what I wanted and went out and brought it back to the dealership. Then they made sure it was up to specs and contacted me to come in the truck was ready. I came in on a referral and they truly made sure I was in a sound vehicle for years to come. Thank you to all at Klaben for making this easy and caring about your customers. More
