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.

Fair & Proffesional! This is the second time in a row that I have dealt with this dealership and I would never go anywhere else. I have traded in two cars and purchased ne This is the second time in a row that I have dealt with this dealership and I would never go anywhere else. I have traded in two cars and purchased new ones and have received very fair trades both times! This dealership prides itself on being fair, honest and up front which has always been the case. Also, their inventory is fantastic with so many models to choose from! I was curious and checked out 3 other Ford dealerships and the deals, inventory and service wasn't even close! Dave Mott was my salesperson who came highly recommended when I bought my first car and was the one I requested this time and once again, he didn't disappoint!!! Keep up the GREAT work Klaben! More

Gene was the friendliest, most professional salesman I think I've My family and I visited Klaben Ford on Saturday May 6th to replace my husband's car. Gene was the friendliest, most professional salesman I think I've ever met, he understood exactly what our needs were and didn't waste time trying to push us into something above our budget. After this, we'll happily return to Klaben for all our future car needs. More

Working in faith! In any business or personal workings, all you can expect is everyone involved practice good faith. Klaben Ford acted in good faith in regards to my p In any business or personal workings, all you can expect is everyone involved practice good faith. Klaben Ford acted in good faith in regards to my personal needs as much as my transportation desires. The sales force and I worked together to finalize a deal that we could both live with. Klaben Ford made me feel that this sale was only the beginning of a long term relationship in future considerations on why I should buy a Ford product and buy from Klaben, Treat people with respect and respect will be given. The experience to purchase a new Ford from Klaben was much different than most. Try Klaben and I know you will agree. More

Excellent experience Our family discussed purchasing a new truck for about a year. We considered many options and dealerships that were much closer, we drove 30 miles to Our family discussed purchasing a new truck for about a year. We considered many options and dealerships that were much closer, we drove 30 miles to deal with Klaben even though I have dozens of dealerships within 15 miles of my residence. Between my family, my mother, father, brothers, in laws and friends we have purchased well over 30 vehicles over the last 25 years from Klaben Ford. This was the first time I worked with Doug Carter, my salesman on this purchase, and it was the smoothest vehicle purchase to date. I was able to talk to Doug a couple of times on the phone about what I was looking for and when he told me he had it I drove up. He delivered exactly what we discussed at exactly the price and payment we agreed on. After deciding to move forward with the purchase Doug informed me I would be signing with Christine Klaben and he promised that she was exceptional and fast. He was accurate again. The paper work has always been my least favorite part of the purchase process. She explained everything, answered my questions, and guided me through the whole signing process in about 15 minutes. I recommend Klaben Ford, Doug Carter, and Christine Klaben as highly as I possibly can. Simply an excellent experience! More
