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.

Service as Usual- The very best! the service department at Klaben has always been the very best. You don't buy 8 cars from the same dealership, throughout the years, based on the sale the service department at Klaben has always been the very best. You don't buy 8 cars from the same dealership, throughout the years, based on the sales price alone. The service department is always, friendly, professional and honest. I drive 50 minutes one way to get my vehicles (1 Ford and 1 Jeep) serviced at Klaben. More

My Wonderful Experience at Klaben ford I visited several dealerships over a 2 yr. period in preparation of replacing my 1998 Windstar. Now ready to purchase, I chose to returned to Klaben h I visited several dealerships over a 2 yr. period in preparation of replacing my 1998 Windstar. Now ready to purchase, I chose to returned to Klaben hoping to find the same salesmen; who was very knowledgeable about each vehicle I had interest in. At the time, he laid out several options to help me get what I felt was right for me and most importantly, he was patient and very kind. Boy was I happy to find Tim Sterling still working at Klaben and true to form; ready to help me with my 2018 purchase. Everyone i met was professional and kind. I look forward to a long relationship with my new dealership. More

Great car buying experience I was referred to Klaben Ford by a family member, so I decided to try them again (I had purchased a Focus previously, but many years ago). My initial I was referred to Klaben Ford by a family member, so I decided to try them again (I had purchased a Focus previously, but many years ago). My initial contact was Christine Klaben. She was very friendly and professional and she connected me with Nate Bryant, the salesman. I told him my requirements and he took it from there. Nate was very up front, no nonsense and he found me a vehicle that was a perfect fit. He got me a great price for the vehicle and a fair trade in for my truck and the Klaben team got it financed through Ford. Nate took me through all of the steps of the purchase and even took an extra step of returning one of my items that I had left behind in my truck. After the purchase, he made me feel comfortable in understanding all of the features of the Escape at the time of delivery. I will recommend Klaben to my friends and family. More

Louis was my sales man and he has been the most pleasant person by far that I have dealt with as a salesman since purchasing my first ford 20+ years a Louis was my sales man and he has been the most pleasant person by far that I have dealt with as a salesman since purchasing my first ford 20+ years ago. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and very caring. He Never passed judgement on my past late payments and made things go so smoothly with this purchase that I hardly knew what to do as my wait time was little to nothing. He is a huge asset to have and I would send anyone to him for a vehicle!! Klaben Ford should be proud to have him as he is very professional. Thank you Klaben Ford for making my issues seem small and working with me to get what I wanted and needed. More
