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 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

Chris made I have credit issuses from being disabled several years ago. Klaben, and their sales member Chris Volt worked hard till he got me approved. Chris made the process easy, and drama free. I decided against the car I originally was considering, and he went over my options with me till we found one that worked for me. Even after I took my car home I found a few nicks and he is having it fixed. Definitely will be back to buy my vehicles from him. More
