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 again for providing us with your feedback and positive response. We appreciate being given the opportunity to resolve your concerns. I empathize with you regarding your loss of confidence due to the issues you have experienced since you took delivery of your Certified Lincoln. Please know that after reviewing your file and a thorough inspection of your Lincoln, our team is in agreement that you have a nice car that should provide you with years of value and satisfaction. Although nobody can predict what the future holds, rest assured that the Klaben Team will be here for you. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know.

My last experience was not so good. They made it right. After posting my last review, which was not very good, I was contacted by Klaben’s service department manager. He asked if he could make things right. More

Thank you for taking the time and interest to provide us with your input and feed back regarding your experience in our service department. I apologize for us giving you cause to question our ethics and honesty. In our successful business model we continually stress to our team members, among other things, to always be transparent, honest and reputable in every thing we do everyday, and to communicate clearly the value and benefits in every situation. We failed you in our attempts and for that I apologize. No excuses. Your comments have been discussed with members of the leadership team, and will also be reviewed with our entire team as we work to determine where our understanding, interpretation and presentation went wrong. As you know, we ask for feed back from our customers because we know that feed back tells us how we are doing and where our opportunities lie. Again, I thank you for your feed back and apologize for your experience. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know. Mike VanHoose, Fixed Operations Director, mvanhoose@klaben.com, 330-593-6789.

Hello once again. I wanted to reach out one more time after our discussions. The repairs we recommended were to address the specific concern that you had. We should have presented it in a way that would have allowed you to make a more informed decision. Again, we failed to do that. As I said, if we had taken your vehicle in on trade, we would have completed the same repairs before offering it for resale. All of that being said, I truly appreciate the time you took to speak with me on the phone. I also appreciate you taking the time to bring the vehicle back in and allowing us to correct your concerns to your satisfaction. As always, we appreciate your feed back, apologize for the hassle and aggravation and appreciate being afforded the opportunity to regain your trust .

I appreciate the time you took to communicate your concerns and share your feedback with me both on the phone and online. This is how we get better or in some cases refocus on a process or policy that may not be working as well as we thought and address it. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Thank you again. Sean Bradford, Service Manager sbradford@klaben.com
