Service Tech Kim Wolfram gave client to explore options!!! Service Advisor Kim Wolfram is awesome-understanding of client's position ( personal and financial issues), expressed concern on safety/health issue w Service Advisor Kim Wolfram is awesome-understanding of client's position ( personal and financial issues), expressed concern on safety/health issue without repair. Allowed client time to explore options (put $ into repair, put into new car, will car trade-in value decline without repair...) instead saying this is what needs repaired and how much. More

Extremely Helpful I've had the pleasure to work with Doug Carter over the past several years and he's always been so helpful, full of knowledge, and listens to what exa I've had the pleasure to work with Doug Carter over the past several years and he's always been so helpful, full of knowledge, and listens to what exactly I want or need. Doug is able to give great suggestions, but still let the buyer be the main voice in the process. He's warm, friendly, and kind. I was also able to work with Christine Klaben this most recent visit and she was extremely helpful, efficient, accurate, and friendly. Richard Klaben has cultivated a wonderful environment for an experience that many people believe to be overwhelming or high-pressured. I highly recommend getting to know and working with these great people! More

I I had a service appointment on Monday the night before my phone decided to die. I gaff phone calls too make and stuff on the internet to look up. I got to the service center and Kyle checked me in, to my surprise the waiting area had everything I lacked... phone and internet.. my day went from bad to better. The service that was done on my car was phenomenal. It didn't take long and everyone was super amazing. More

Amended review I have given them this rating because they cheated me out of $399. Added their Loyalty Link to my bill without telling me. On a lease car no less. $ I have given them this rating because they cheated me out of $399. Added their Loyalty Link to my bill without telling me. On a lease car no less. $399. so I could get discounted oil changes! Check your sales bill folks!!! . I have amended this review after talking to Mr. Richard Klaben. He was sincere in his apology, and refunded my money. I have no complaints. He stood up and made things right. That's all one could ask. More

More than a Dealer!!! At Klaben Ford you are more than a customer...you are family. They make sure you are comfortable with your deal and that you are more than a number t At Klaben Ford you are more than a customer...you are family. They make sure you are comfortable with your deal and that you are more than a number to them but family. I have never been pressured into a deal or rushed to make a decision. They take time to allow you to process the purchase and look for the deal that is best for you. I think that is why Klaben is so successful because they realise that they could sell a few cars to some people for a while but to get them back they have to feel comfortable and the deal worked in their lives. Thank you Rich and thank you Mike for always making it an easy decision where to make my car purchases. You are more than a dealer to me...you are family!!!! More

I bought a brand new car This was an amazing car buying experience! Both Chris Volk and Mr. Klaben made me feel comfortable in my purchase. Chris did all of the financial res This was an amazing car buying experience! Both Chris Volk and Mr. Klaben made me feel comfortable in my purchase. Chris did all of the financial research before I even arrived. He also pulled multiple keys before I arrived knew what I wanted and did not want and did not waste my time. He also worked hard to get me the best price. I have never owned a Ford-I love it and I had never dealt with Klaben and will certainly do so in the future! Outstanding place!!! More
