General Sales Manager
Klaben Ford Lincoln
1089 West Main Street
Kent, OH 44240
I started working at Klaben when I was 16 years old, answering phones and filing paperwork. Throughout my high school and college years, I took on various roles at the dealership which helped to expand my knowledge and understanding of the business. I started working in the Finance Department at the age of 23, while completing my MBA at the University of Akron. I had a strong curiosity and interest in Finance, mostly because of my love for working with people and numbers. I worked as a Finance Manager for 19 years, and transitioned to the role of Sales Manager in August 2021. I am proud to work for a company that grounds itself in customer loyalty and satisfaction and have enjoyed the relationships I have built with several of my customers over the years.

Has Been the Best Car Buying Experience of My Life Needed to buy a car for my new job. Went to Hyundai and Kia dealership, but they couldn't meet my financial restrictions. Went to Klaben Ford Lincoln Needed to buy a car for my new job. Went to Hyundai and Kia dealership, but they couldn't meet my financial restrictions. Went to Klaben Ford Lincoln in Kent, met Nathan Bryant, shared my financial needs and they were able to put me in a new car that had only 29 miles. This was well beyond my expectations, I thank all of them that was involved in this transaction....including the financing manager, Christine Klaben. Kudos....Jim Painter More

Brandon was awesome, This is the second vehicle we have purchased form Klaben. Both salesmen were fantastic. Actually had a good time buying the car. Brandon was awesome, very knowledgeable about the vehicles we looked at. Then we came to the finance part of our little adventure. No problems what so ever. They made it easy and went the extra mile to make sure we got the absolute best financing available. The woman that took care of of our paperwork. Was also very fun to work with. Great sense of humor also had a blast. Who knew you could have that much fun buying a car. I highly recommend Klaben Kent. More

Why I go to Klaben Klaben has always been my choice of dealerships to get service. I moved to Georgia 4 years ago and must get my services done at my local dealership bu Klaben has always been my choice of dealerships to get service. I moved to Georgia 4 years ago and must get my services done at my local dealership but I do not get the service that Klaben provides. I set an appointment for my last visit to Ohio and purchased my new tires from Klaben in Kent! Thank you Mike and all the service department for your consistent top notch service. Your service department is what made me purchase from you instead of my local dealership. Not many people would drive to Ohio to purchaase tires ! Just shows how well you are treated. Thank you !
