Customer Service is truly #1 with Klaben It is easy to be happy with a service provider when all things are going well but it is when a problem develops that puts the relationship to the test It is easy to be happy with a service provider when all things are going well but it is when a problem develops that puts the relationship to the test. We have purchased two vehicles from Klaben Ford and we have all of our service including tires and brakes done by them. Our service advisor Kim Wolfram is outstanding and we completely rely on her for advice in servicing our vehicles. In December 2017, we had a noise when we stopped our vehicle. We replaced the front brakes since they were in need of service. Unfortunately, the noise continued and in February 2018 we had the rear brakes serviced. After a few weeks the noise returned. We waited until our recent oil service and requested that the tech again look for the problem. The tech was unable to locate any problem but we were determined to get it fixed and Kim was willing to do whatever was necessary to fix it. She had Tom Alcorn, service department general manager, drive the car with us in it so that we could make sure that the noise was identified. Tom heard the noise and requested that we leave the car so that they could make sure to fix it. Unfortunately, the next day was Saturday and Kim was off, so there was some confusion as to what the problem was and the cost to fix it. When Kim returned on Monday, she quickly verified with us that there would be no cost to us to fix the noise since we had already paid for repairs to fix the problem. Kim explained that it appeared to be the brake cover and they would replace that and clean up the hub. At this point Sean Bradford, service department supervisor, became personally involved to make sure that the problem was fixed. After the repairs and service were done, Sean personally test drove the car but the noise was still there. Over the course of the next two days, Sean had the tech perform numerous procedures to alleviate the problem and Sean took numerous test drives to determine if the noise was gone. All through this time, Kim kept us updated on the status of the repairs. She apologized for the delay but assured us that Sean and the tech were doing everything possible to permanently fix the problem. Finally, Kim called to inform us that the problem was fixed at no charge to us and the car was ready to pick up. When we picked up the car, Kim informed us how much effort that Sean had taken to ensure that the problem was fixed. We personally took the time to thank Sean for his efforts. He is an excellent representative of the quality people that work at the Klaben dealership. The goal of most other service departments would be to get the car out the door as soon as possible, especially if they are bearing the cost of the repair, but this is not the philosophy of the Klaben dealership. Their goal is to make the customer happy. This is so exemplified by Kim, our service rep. Although she handles a tremendous workload, she always makes the effort to insure that each and every customer is properly taken care of. She takes the time to learn what repair is being done and why it is necessary. Then she takes the time to properly explain it to the customer and answer any questions that they may have about it. She is more than just outstanding at her job! She is a true pleasure to deal with and we now consider her a true friend. As I mentioned at the beginning, it is when there is a problem that you truly find out the quality of your service provider. Time and time again, we have been so impressed by the way that the Klaben dealership and its people handle and correct problems. They are more than fair and willing to expend whatever effort is necessary to make you happy. From Doug Carter, our sales rep, Kim, our service rep, Tom and Sean in service and Artie Gissinger in the body shop, we couldn’t be happier with way that we have been treated. We highly recommend the Klaben Ford Sales, Service and Body Shop. More

Even though we did not buy from Klaben, they treated us like family and loyal customers. ‘16 Ford F150, 7K, broke down while visiting family in Kent. Even though we did not buy from Klaben, they treated us like family and loyal customers. Klaben was able to diagnose, order parts, and repair within 3 days. Best Ford experience to date. Klaben is an excellent example of what a dealership should be and is an oustanding representative of the Ford brand. More

Great Experience - Professional It's nice to finally to have found a dealership that cares about the customer. I transfered from the Horrible Dealership Nick Mayer Ford. Worst Experi It's nice to finally to have found a dealership that cares about the customer. I transfered from the Horrible Dealership Nick Mayer Ford. Worst Experience ever. Your Money is all they care about now. It was a good dealership when it was Marshall Ford. Klaben is like a breath of fresh air. I would buy a car from Klaben but since Ford won't Honor and take care of a warranty, I won't be buying another Ford Product. I was a Customer for 30 years. Vehicles cost to much to have a car company not stand behind the their product. More

I a This service center has provided my vehicle with at least 10 years of friendly, experienced teamwork, even though it was not purchased at Klaben. I am reassured that the replacement parts are correct and of the best quality. They are always willing to work with my schedule and to secure alternate transportation should I need it. The staff respectfully listens to my concerns and follows through on explaining the details of the problems to me. They treat my 2004 Taurus wagon with the same TLC and respect as they would a 2019 Lincoln! That's a class act! More
