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.

We're Closer Than You Think When I started looking for a new truck I didn't anticipate driving two hours to Klaben Ford but I'm glad I did. Their inventory was much better than When I started looking for a new truck I didn't anticipate driving two hours to Klaben Ford but I'm glad I did. Their inventory was much better than any of my local dealers, pricing was clear, and the overall experience was excellent. The drive was definitely worth it and "We're Closer Than You Think" is true. Chris Moldas handled my sale and he was a pleasure to work with. People sometimes think of buying a car akin to going to the dentist - no such comparison. Chris was patient, explained features on F150s and was there all the way through to the end. Christine Klaben handled the closing paperwork and there were no surprises - everything was clearly explained. When I need another vehicle I would drive the 2 hours again, and will recommend friends/family do the same. More

I had a unique financial situation going on and approximately a month ago I was directed to Doug Carter. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was very patient with me and answered everyone of my questions. He went above and beyond my expectations and I walked out with a Certified Pre-owned vehicle. This is by far the most stress free car buying experience I have ever had! I will definitely spread the word and will return to this dealership! More

But I had to sit on a pillow with a pillow behind my back to withstands the bumpy ride. You see, I had extensive back surgery 6 months ago (plates, screws, etc in S1,L5 andL4. Ive been trying different vehicles for many months. Then I drove the Lincoln, It was hands down, the most comfortable car I ever drove. So there’s the background of my car search. The very best art was winding up at Klaben and having Nate Bryant for my salesman. He was unquestionably the best salesman I ever had. He searched for months for just the car I wanted with all the specs I gave him. And he found it. I could not be happier. He is a consummate sales person. He inspires trust. That can be rare. I received a good trade in price. Nate continued to assure me that e was at my service for any need at all. This car has lots of bells and whistles. At 71, I don’t understand everything. But a call to Nate helps me figure things out. I will shout his praises to anyone who asks. More
