I have been the CEO of the Klaben Auto Stores since 2010. I started in the business in 1974, detailing cars. I learned quickly that a Family Business was both hard work and fulfilling, with a responsibility to the customers, the team members, and the communities which we serve. Titles represent responsibilities, not rank, as every team member, starting with me, is a Customer Service Representative. Throughout the years, I worked in various positions with responsibilities for every facet of the business as we grew into the Klaben Auto Stores. Today, our business model, upon which my Father (Albert Klaben Sr.) founded and grew the business, remains the same. Customers & Team Members (PEOPLE) are the foundation of our success. Hard work, respect, empathy, team-work, integrity, and a genuine concern for others are core tenets of that model. Moreover, none of it is possible without the Grace of God. We are blessed and I remain forever thankful.

Best car buying experience I was in a difficult situation and needed a vehicle. I received a response within 5 minutes of my online inquiry. My salesperson, Louis, was on top I was in a difficult situation and needed a vehicle. I received a response within 5 minutes of my online inquiry. My salesperson, Louis, was on top of things right from the beginning. He listened to me in detail regarding what I was looking for in a vehicle and my financial situation. He worked very closely with Mr. Klaben to find me the best deal and the best vehicle. Within two hours of arrival at the dealership, I had gotten financing arranged and picked out my vehicle. Finishing the paperwork for the purchase and taking delivery of the car was very quick and efficient. My sales person then spent time showing me the features of the car in detail. I also received a follow-up phone call a couple of days after I took delivery of the car. The customer service at this dealership is outstanding. Also, I Feel that I got a great deal on the vehicle and the financing. More

I did purchase very high quality Ford certified F350 with low mileage. I am extremely happy i took the advice of the Car Pro Raidio Show and came to Klaben Ford. Jerry the car guy who i spoke to on the air was absolutely right about this dealership and responsiveness to their clients. More
