I started out as a porter then a Service Advisor, and Service Director at Cleveland area Ford/Lincoln dealer. My wife and children have been my motivation and inspiration, I am blessed. I have definitely realized what it means to work in an organization completely committed to and driven by a "customer first" culture/business model. Our team is just that and always working to get better together every day. Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your honest feedback. It was frustrating and embarrassing to read your comments after working so hard to make sure the needed repairs were completed during this visit and your advocacy was earned. I apologize for leaving you feeling the way we did about our intentions in resolving your concerns. I understand how your trust and confidence in us could be damaged as a result. We let you down in properly diagnosing your a/c concern, no excuses. Our goal is always to provide an accurate diagnosis and options when possible for resolving them. Please know our mistakes come without excuse, and instead customer first, honest intentions. Your feedback is shared with our entire team, allowing us to reflect upon for coaching and counseling. I am so glad you responded after I reached out and we had an opportunity to discuss your concerns and come up with a plan to resolve them.Thank you again for your feedback and I look forward to seeing you this week and having the opportunity to restore your confidence in our customer first business model. Thank you again for your feedback. Sean Bradford - sbradford@klaben.com

Thank you again for the opportunity to resolve your concerns and make right a situation we created. Your doubt in us was warranted by our actions and missed steps. I felt your confidence in us was shattered based on your thoughts and feelings shared in your review. This is as far from our culture as it gets and the respect I have for your honest feedback is what allowed me to truly empathize with both of you, taking the direction of action I did based on that. It seems like a long journey we have taken and many text and phone conversations later allowed us to find a good resolve and set plans for future repairs needing done. With that being said, we appreciate your business, but much more important to myself and our team is the relationship we have the opportunity to continue building with you and your family based on trust and confidence. I truly enjoyed meeting you over the phone and in person and look forward to fulfilling the rest of your service needs in the spring. Stay well, and as always, I and the entire Klaben team remain at your service. Sean Bradford - sbradford@klaben.com

Good evening Dina, Thank you for taking the time to provide your honest feedback. It was frustrating and embarrassing to read your comments after working so hard to make sure the needed repairs were completed during this visit and your advocacy was earned. I apologize for leaving you feeling the way we did about our intentions in resolving your concerns. I understand how your trust and confidence in us could be damaged as a result. We let you down in properly diagnosing your a/c concern, no excuses. Our goal is always to provide an accurate diagnosis and options when possible for resolving them. Please know our mistakes come without excuse, and instead customer first, honest intentions. Your feedback is shared with our entire team, allowing us to reflect upon for coaching and counseling. Please let me know when is convenient for me to reach out and discuss how we can make right a situation we created, hopefully restoring some of the trust and confidence we lost. I am leaving my cell number if you prefer to call or text and email as well. Thank you again for your feedback and I look forward to speaking with you.

Thank you again for the opportunity to resolve your concerns and make right a situation we created. Your doubt in us was warranted by our actions and missed steps. I felt your confidence in us was shattered and I still go back to one of the points you made in your original review, regarding your being a woman and us taking advantage of that. This is as far from our culture as it gets and the respect I have for your honest feedback is what allowed me to truly empathize with both of you, taking the direction of action I did based on that. It seems like a long journey we have taken and many text and phone conversations later allowed us to find a good resolve and set plans for future repairs needing done. All of this is great and we appreciate the business, but much more important to me and our team is the relationship we have the opportunity to build with you and your family based on trust and confidence. I truly enjoyed meeting you over the phone and in person and hopefully will get a chance to meet and speak with Darin some day. We as a company always document our follow-up with customers in Public responses. With that being said I will post that, but wanted to share these thoughts with you and Darin and then post something less specific (no names) in our public response. You, Darin, and your family stay well and don't lose the sense of humor. I and the entire Klaben Team remain at your service. Best regards, Sean

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your honest feedback and your positive marks given. We take all of our customers insight seriously and share it with our entire team, using it to understand all of the things we have succeeded in as well as aspects of our performance needing reflected upon for improvement. We failed initially in providing the attention to detail that you deserved, no excuses, and truly appreciated the opportunity to restore your confidence in us. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you getting in front of your concerns and making right a situation we created. We appreciate your business, but more importantly the relationship we stand to gain based on your complete confidence and trust in us moving forward. Thank you again for your feedback and as we talked about when going over your vehicle on redelivery, I and the entire Klaben team look forward to serving you in the future.
