Kent, OH 44240
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

Best Experience Ever! I'm on a tight budget and haven't had a car payment in years so when I was in need of a new car I very reluctant and nervous about shopping for a new I'm on a tight budget and haven't had a car payment in years so when I was in need of a new car I very reluctant and nervous about shopping for a new car. I've known Don for many years and knew that if I contacted him he would understand my situation and do whatever he could to help me to meet my needs, and not put his needs first but mine. When I arrived and was met by Caleb I was elated and from that moment on Don, Caleb, Brian and Steve made the whole process relaxing and provided comfort with this new adventure I was about to embark on. The vehicle is a perfect fit for me and the payment is affordable. They all were sincerely happy for me and that they as a team could help me to ease my fears and ease my concerns! Thank you Team Klaben! More

First time vehicle purchase I am a first time purchaser who went from a 2005 Honda Accord to a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I worked with Steve Stephens (GM) and Justin Bolen who ma I am a first time purchaser who went from a 2005 Honda Accord to a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I worked with Steve Stephens (GM) and Justin Bolen who made the entire process a wonderful experience. They were very informative and worked diligently to accommodate my needs. They made sure that I was well aware of the purchase and lease options I was considering. They gave me paperwork and details to consider for a couple days so that I could make an informed decision. After purchasing, Justin walked me through every step of setting up my new car tailored and customized to my liking. He even followed up with me via text the evening of making my purchase by sending me pictures of me with my new car and wishing me well and thanking me for working with him. The next day he sent me tutorial emails making sure that I was having a seamless transition with the vehicle and new technology I was not accustomed to. I will forever purchase cars from Justin, Steve and the rest of the team at Klaben! More

Don't be fooled by other area Jeep dealers advertising. I have had experience from both the sales and service side of Klaben customer service, and have been able to see behind the curtain and see how Richa I have had experience from both the sales and service side of Klaben customer service, and have been able to see behind the curtain and see how Richard Klaben and Steve Stephens operates as a company, how well the service department works to take care of you after the sale with maintenance and repair as well as a great experience with the body shop (xxxx Deer) For real, even if the Dodge dealer down the road is a few bucks a month less it's the difference between going to Target vs Wal-Mart. It's worth the few bucks. ESPECIALLY if your buying Certified pre owned or Used. More

Best dealership ever! My wife was in need of a newer car. Her 2009 was getting tired. We went to Klaben Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and met Steve the manager and Carl Esker o My wife was in need of a newer car. Her 2009 was getting tired. We went to Klaben Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and met Steve the manager and Carl Esker one of the sales associates. We told them our budget and they were great. They showed us a huge selection of vehicles, told us everything about them and gave us plenty of options. We found a great car for my wife and were surprised that we were able to get so much for our budget. We were impressed with the customer service. We've purchased many cars in the past...this was by far the best experience. They care about you and that's why they have so many customers who return. More
