It's 1983 and I'm still in High School. I started working with my Father who was a Used Car Manager for Cobbledick Buick in Shaker Hts as a lot porter. After graduation, I took on a full-time role with the dealership allowing me to work in Service/Parts/Body shop/New & Used Cars. Ultimately began my career in Sales. In 1993 I started at Klaben Ford. I was able to build a strong customer base and moved up to a management role in the leasing department. In 2005 I moved across the street to Klaben Chrysler Jeep Dodge. I found the change exciting that has now led me to be a store manager. I’ve been with Klaben Auto Stores for over 25 years. A family-owned store completely committed to 100% customer satisfaction involved with our local communities, I’ll be here for another 25 years, God willing. I’m blessed to have my wife, our 4 Children, and 4 Grandkids..so far! and a super staff I work with every day. 330-673-3139 ext. 505

Probably about the easiest truck purchase I've ever made. Carl Esker made it seamless, delivered my 2021 Ram. I talked to other Ram dealers and it was a no brainer using Klaben, no comparison really.

This is my 4th purchase from Klaben. Working with Carl Esker each time has been fantastic. Anytime I needed service on my cars the parts/service departments have been great as well.

Let me start by saying that my husband and I are very pleased with our purchase. We shopped around and found a vehicle that we wanted and got what we feel was a good deal. We have mixed feelings and em pleased with our purchase. We shopped around and found a vehicle that we wanted and got what we feel was a good deal. We have mixed feelings and emotions about this purchase because we have always bought from Klaben Ford, purchasing a Ford vehicle. This time around we wanted a Jeep, so we went to Klaben Jeep. We have always felt that Mr. Klaben has taken good care of us and we wanted to remain loyal to him. Loyalty is important to us. So, to review the Jeep dealership- people were friendly and kind. Financing was friendly and helpful. ( We we’re sad not to work with Mike Cooney and Mr. Klaben’s daughter in financing because we enjoy them and have been loyal to them over the years. If you haven’t already figured out, Klaben Ford is like extended family to us. They mean something to my husband and I)! We were able to test drive the vehicle and ask questions and Justin answered our questions with knowledge. After the paperwork was completed, Justin quickly went through the dashboard components, switches, gauges, etc. He was very busy and had other customers, and was being drawn to others, which happens, but now we find we are trying to figure the touch screen, navigation, etc. ourselves or we have our kids show us since they also have Jeeps. As we were making the purchase we asked Justin about several things- a tool kit to remove the doors, a price on an air deflector, and a hood lock through the parts department. He told us that he would get back to us and since we hadn’t heard from him, we bought from elsewhere. I hope this review is a helpful one for you. We appreciated Justin and all his knowledge, his kindness, his concern by wearing a mask even when he did not need to…we wore masks as well. Thank you! More

Klaben dealerships in Kent Ohio are amazing to work with, and the prices are lower then competitors, they stand behind the vehicle and work with you every step of the way. We don't go anywhere else. and the prices are lower then competitors, they stand behind the vehicle and work with you every step of the way. We don't go anywhere else. More

Most car salesmen/women are snakes and don’t give the full truth. John was nothing like that! He was so nice and patient! He was also very knowledgeable about the Jeep I purchased - both on the technolog full truth. John was nothing like that! He was so nice and patient!
