I have been the CEO of the Klaben Auto Stores since 2010. I started in the business in 1974, detailing cars. I learned quickly that a Family Business was both hard work and fulfilling, with a responsibility to the customers, the team members, and the communities which we serve. Titles represent responsibilities, not rank, as every team member, starting with me, is a Customer Service Representative. Throughout the years, I worked in various positions with responsibilities for every facet of the business as we grew into the Klaben Auto Stores. Today, our business model, upon which my Father (Albert Klaben Sr.) founded and grew the business, remains the same. Customers & Team Members (PEOPLE) are the foundation of our success. Hard work, respect, empathy, team-work, integrity, and a genuine concern for others are core tenets of that model. Moreover, none of it is possible without the Grace of God. We are blessed and I remain forever thankful.

I have been, over the past 10+ years, buying and servicing each and every car, truck and SUV purchased. Not once have I been disappointed - quite the opposite in fact. All involved are vested 110% servicing each and every car, truck and SUV purchased. Not once have I been disappointed - quite the opposite in fact. All involved are vested 110% in the customers satisfaction - be it sales, service and/or body shop. Kim Wolfrom and I have a special relationship, and she is always looking out for my benefit, satisfaction - and that of my many vehicles. She may be last in the listing below - but she will always be at the top of my list. Tough having a last name starting with a "W" - I would know for I have been dealing with it my whole life - starting in first grade and sitting in the back of the classroom! More

I recently purchased my second vehicle from Louis at Klaben and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire team is truly amazing, and they consistently demonstrate the highest levels of hones Klaben and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire team is truly amazing, and they consistently demonstrate the highest levels of honesty and integrity. From start to finish, the process was incredibly easy and stress-free, just like my first purchase with them. Their transparency made me feel confident that I was getting the best deal. The customer service is top-notch—everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect vehicle. It’s rare to find a dealership that prioritizes building relationships over just making a sale, but Klaben does exactly that. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new or used car. I absolutely love my 2024 Mach E!!!! Five stars all the way! More

Louis and Angela are my go to! Honest integrity! Been buying from Klaben for 6 years now and 4 cars later and I can’t say enough awesomeness about these two folks. Angela was thoro Honest integrity! Been buying from Klaben for 6 years now and 4 cars later and I can’t say enough awesomeness about these two folks. Angela was thorough with the accurate info, quick witted and we laughed thru the signing. I never actually had that great of experience as I did with Angela in finance. Now Louis! He’s becoming a personal friend those once in a while’s I’m buying. Scar, he always remembers me. Remember specific family dynamics and always takes time to talk and care. Highly recommend Klaben. Ask for Louis. He’s amazing. No one works harder for you at a. Dealership than Louis More

I also met some of the Klabens and they were kind and welcoming, too. Jenn did my paperwork and was very sweet. This is place is very much on the up & up with the way they do their business. The amount of time that the people who work their have been with the Klabens and their business shows their authenticity and integrity. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone of my family members and friends. I will also be returning to get oil changes and tire rotations. And maybe stop up their or call to chat with Mike for awhile!!! Keep up the exvellent work and much love to you all at Klaben Ford Lincoln!!!! Sincerely, Gretchen More

Bo and team were beyond amazing to work with! I put in a request a few months back, but the deal couldn’t be met due to current Ford offers at that time. Bo kept my information and reached out th I put in a request a few months back, but the deal couldn’t be met due to current Ford offers at that time. Bo kept my information and reached out the moment pricing/deals became available and put me in my dream truck within 24 hours of contact! Amazing group of people! Highly recommend. Honest, fair, and pleasant transaction all around. Roscoe Woodberry helped at a drop of a pen. Mike Uzl and Tim Sterling took time out of their schedule to help with the bed liner- no questions asked, just amazing customer service! Angela Mazzagatti was thorough, yet pleasantly quick (had an impatient teenager with me). She was professional, personable, and a delight! We have always been Ford people, but had never had the chance to deal with Klaben due to the distance. We will MAKE THAT DRIVE! This team is worth it! Thank you Bo and Klaben! More
