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.

FORD 150 Lease My experience with the Klaben dealership was exceptional in all areas, I’ve purchased and leased over 20 vehicles in my life and assisted in numerous My experience with the Klaben dealership was exceptional in all areas, I’ve purchased and leased over 20 vehicles in my life and assisted in numerous other “negotiations” with my children. This dealership experience was by far the best I’ve ever had. I’m from Pittsburgh and was negotiating with several dealers in my area with little or know success. I expanded my search and the Klaben dealership showed the vehicle that I was looking for. After just 4 days of speaking Doug Carter on the phone and numerous reassurances by him that he would come through with what I was looking for and at a more than fair price, I drove the 82 miles and picked up exactly what I wanted and at a price that couldn’t be beat the 5 Ford dealerships in the Pittsburgh area. Doug Carter couldn’t have been more accommodating and patient with my “needs” for the vehicle I was leasing, The vehicle was ready in a timely manner even though I mistakenly gave Doug an incorrect VIN number. The process was seamless throughout the finance process as well, Christine Klaben was extremely helpful friendly and processed my lease quickly but, still explained in detail the forms, documents and options (Wear Care)that I had and what I was signing. “It wasn’t you’re normal rubber stamp process that most dealers use to get you out of the dealership”. Prior to leaving Doug Carter again took the time to explain the features of the vehicle and ensured that I was completely satisfied. As a Management employee for the government that has managed over 100 employees for 32 years plus, I always lived by he saying that you’re only as good as the people who work for you and it is certainly true in this case. The last thing is that I wished the dealership was closer to my area (selfish), but I’ll still make the drive the next time I’m in the market for a vehicle. More
