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.

Klaben Ram sales and service are beyond amazing. I've been with Klaben for years and I'm still treated like I'm the most important customer they have. Don Jacobs has never steered me wrong. Joe at s I've been with Klaben for years and I'm still treated like I'm the most important customer they have. Don Jacobs has never steered me wrong. Joe at service treats me and my truck with unmatched respect and professionalism. Recently my life hit a bump, Don and Joe worked with me and made sure I got my vehicle cared for moving my scheduled appointment without hesitation and once again took care of me. The professionals at Klaben Jeep Dodge Ram sales, service, finance, and everyone else are the reason I continue to buy from them What a great dealership, keep it up. More

I already had to have meetings over warranty work and pricing during a months long repair, deal with damage to the vehicle upon completion and then take it back to have mechanical repairs redone, I also pricing during a months long repair, deal with damage to the vehicle upon completion and then take it back to have mechanical repairs redone, I also needed to have overspray removed from the exterior. For what it's worth, Klaben did take large steps to make up for a series of unfortunate events. However, I had to take my driver's side door apart to find what was rattling ridiculously when the driver's side window was down; a rattle that did not exist prior to the repair visit, so I was unsure if it was related. Upon removing the door panel I can see the signs of fresh body work, and while investigating this noticed multiple areas in the paint with obvious deviations and defects in the paint that were not there before (the vehicle has never required body work of any sort with only factory paint). It's obvious a repair was done while there for a much larger incident that I was never made aware of. That's disappointing, because I would have taken a closer look at the time and demanded it get redone with a higher level of quality! More

After my last vehicle was totaled, Chris and his colleagues dedicated an entire day to ensuring I left with a new vehicle that was not only a one of a kind Wrangler with all my desired features but colleagues dedicated an entire day to ensuring I left with a new vehicle that was not only a one of a kind Wrangler with all my desired features but also priced affordably. Loyalty matters at Klaben. Thanks for another great ride! More
