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.

Great customer service experience; no high pressure Everyone I dealt with at Klaben was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Tom Nicodemus and I spent a couple of hours looking at vehicles, disc Everyone I dealt with at Klaben was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Tom Nicodemus and I spent a couple of hours looking at vehicles, discussing features, etc. and I never felt pressured or rushed during our conversations. He had called in advance to get an idea of what kind of vehicle I was in the market to buy and selected 3 or 4 in advance based on our conversation. Stephanie Slomberg was very thorough in explaining financing options and each document as we went through them together. I met Rich Klaben and appreciate the culture he has developed at this dealership. I was extremely pleased with the car-buying experience at Klaben Ford. More

True Professionals I stopped by just to look at the new F-250's and my salesman, Doug Carter, walked me through the new model inside and out. No pressure, I walked out I stopped by just to look at the new F-250's and my salesman, Doug Carter, walked me through the new model inside and out. No pressure, I walked out and thought about it for almost a week. The entire sales team is focused on one thing, customer service. I buy all my vehicles from the Klaben dealership because of their high standards and straight forward sales. A great experience and I am thrilled with the truck. More

Excellent I came into the dealership expecting to be told that they were unable to help me and to be treated as if I was wasting their time, just like all the o I came into the dealership expecting to be told that they were unable to help me and to be treated as if I was wasting their time, just like all the other dealerships I had been to. Instead, they treated me like I was just as important as every other customer there and they did everything they could to help me get into a new car!!! They took the time to explain what they were doing every step of the way and why they were doing it. They made me feel like a person not just another sale and for that reason alone I will continue to give them my business!! More

awesome experience We would recommend this dealership because they were attentive to our needs, listened to what we wanted and needed in a vehicle, and were upfront on c We would recommend this dealership because they were attentive to our needs, listened to what we wanted and needed in a vehicle, and were upfront on costs and payments. Everyone we had contact with was friendly and quick to work with us. We had a time constraint and they worked with us on that. They did not try to oversell an upgrade but paid attention to what WE wanted. We bought a Ford Explorer and are very happy with our decision in the car and in the dealership! More
