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.

Another smooth purchase! I purchased my 2017 Focus back in March, so Klaben was the go to place when my son's vehicle was on its last leg. This was the first purchase for my s I purchased my 2017 Focus back in March, so Klaben was the go to place when my son's vehicle was on its last leg. This was the first purchase for my son, no hand me down this time. It was so easy! We went with a used car. Tyler was fast to reply (even answered one of my emails on Christmas Day! Say whaaaat?) We found a 2014 Focus with only 14k miles and certified pre-owned. What a reassuring check list they cover. They took his old Taurus (saved us from worrying about how to get rid of it), transferred his plates right over (he just got them in November, so that was a relief) and off he went! I cannot say enough about how nice it is to work with Klaben. I wish I could upload the picture I took of him afterwards. Priceless! Oh, and a special pleasure for me during the visit - I got to see the Klaben doggies! Such a welcoming atmosphere. I love this place - thank you Klaben! More

Great Experience I really enjoyed working with Scott Halley in purchasing my new Lincoln. He's not only professional but personable. At no time did I feel pressured I really enjoyed working with Scott Halley in purchasing my new Lincoln. He's not only professional but personable. At no time did I feel pressured and felt he was very trustworthy and working to get me the best deal. He was very knowledgeable in comparing the vehicles and explaining the differences in addition to choosing the right vehicle for my needs. Everyone in the dealership was very friendly. Upon my purchase, Scott gave me a personal tutorial of all the features. He has followed up with me to ensure I didn't have any questions after leaving the dealership. I look forward to working with him in the future! More

Just purchased new Ford Escape 2018 This is my second new Ford Escape I have bought at Klaben. They have been wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Mike in the service department. This is my second new Ford Escape I have bought at Klaben. They have been wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Mike in the service department. He has always been very honest and trustworthy to deal with and one of the main reasons I bought my new car from Them. He has always made sure that my car was safe and fixed properly. I just purchased my new car from Chris Moldas who was wonderful to work with - he listened to my needs and was not pushy at all. Christine with financing was also very helpful and great to work with. Highly recommend them for service or a new car purchase. More

Great experience The Klaben Ford family will forever hold a place in my heart. As a struggling college student I was unsure how I was going to afford a new vehicle. Je The Klaben Ford family will forever hold a place in my heart. As a struggling college student I was unsure how I was going to afford a new vehicle. Jeff "JT" was amazing. Hes knows a lot about the cars and he let me know everything there was to know about my car. Everyone was so friendly and greeted me with a smile, and they worked hard to find me a reliable car that's in my budget. Klaben sets you up for success! Happy holidays! More

1st Class Operation I walked into the dealership and Nate Bryant took me under his wing, not the over baring suffication routine you get , but just like meeting a new fri I walked into the dealership and Nate Bryant took me under his wing, not the over baring suffication routine you get , but just like meeting a new friend. I told him I was interested in the MKX and what all I was looking for in it and the dealership. 15 mins later the MKX I discribe to him was at the door ready for a test drive. Vehicles today are just like smart phones, with more options, apps and toys, that you just can't learn on your own, no problem. Nate spent about and hour going through the list, then repeated some over. The test drive showed the quality of Lincoln vehicles and Nate was still showing me all what the MKX can do. I was sold. Now comes the fun part, finacing, this was the 1st time I leased a car and really didn't know that much, Nate explain some of the options, but Christine Klaben did the rest, making it the smoothest transaction ever. Going over and clearly explaining all the options, I understood everything and know i had nothing to worry about. Nate took me to my new SUV and guess what, he spent another hour with me going over everything and demostrating the parking features. This is one 1st Class Operation! More

However, my most recent experience was u Not often do I take time out of my day to write a review whether or not the experience was a good or bad one. However, my most recent experience was unique. I was hesitant in leasing a vehicle because I am a college student, so I waited until my car stopped working completely to pursue a new car. I came into Klaben because I have dealt with them in the past and the experience then was great. I worked with Mr. Roscoe Woodberry II who was patient with understanding what I needed in a vehicle. He made the experience excellent by bringing a calm to my nervousness. Roscoe also uncovered a student discount for my lease which I never knew existed which made my payment attainable and lower than expected. The overall service also brought me to great sense comfort to the point where I found myself in the middle of a summit over pizza with additional staff members Chris Moldas and Dave Mott, and an engaging chat with Tim Casto. The team is committed to delivering exceptional service, made my decision an easy one. I am grateful I decided to go back to their dealership. I will do business again in the future. Thank you Roscoe and the team for the car, the experience and the pizza! *****Five Stars***** More

Best Experience ever! My family and I have been buying vehicles from Terry for over 20 years. Terry is honest and works hard. We will not buy from any other place. Eve My family and I have been buying vehicles from Terry for over 20 years. Terry is honest and works hard. We will not buy from any other place. Every time we have even considered it, we have been disappointed with the staff and treatment. At Klaben you are treated like family and will get the best offer without draining your wallet. The entire staff is amazing! I have sent numerous customers to Terry and will continue doing so. More
