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.

Amazing! My husband and I searched "outstanding Ford dealers in Ohio" and Klaben ranked #1 and #2. We decided to check them out. Our thought was to see if the My husband and I searched "outstanding Ford dealers in Ohio" and Klaben ranked #1 and #2. We decided to check them out. Our thought was to see if the sales people were "pushy" and if not, we would build a relationship before purchasing a vehicle. When we arrived, we were greeted with smiling faces and "How are you doing today? Is there anything I can help you with?" They made us feel genuinely welcomed. That in itself was a pleasant surprise. Most dealerships are pushing for a sale right when you walk in the door. At Klaben, we expressed what we were interested in but not ready purchase. The salesman, Nate Bryant, was fine with that. We sat down, told him what kind of vehicle we were thinking about, and he told us all about it. Explained how he could order one for us whenever we were ready to buy one. Absolutely no pressure. I could hardly believe it. He typed in the computer what we were interested in and they had one on the lot exactly like we wanted. So we test drove it and loved it! Nate told us it was up to us: we could have him order one, come back when we are sure we're ready to purchase, do nothing, or we could purchase the one we test drove and take it home that day. Wow! He let my husband and me talk it over privately. Needless to say, we ended up driving a new vehicle home. Couldn't have gotten a better deal anyplace else. Christine Klaben was awesome, too. She went over the paperwork with us. Very down to earth and friendly. We will definitely go back to Klaben when it's time to purchase another vehicle. More
