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

Bad Experience to Great Experience I had gone to Haasz in Ravenna for a specific vehicle. After not being able to come to terms, they brought out 3 others. 10 minutes after leaving, the I had gone to Haasz in Ravenna for a specific vehicle. After not being able to come to terms, they brought out 3 others. 10 minutes after leaving, they still tried to deal with me. After deciding on a deal, I was supposed to go in and get it. They went back on their word, so I came to Klaben. I walked in and was helped right away. I told Gilbert what I wanted and he got to work on the numbers. They were all very easy to deal with and worked with me to settle on what I was comfortable with. I would recommend Klaben 10/10 times. It was very easy. More

Regretfully this was my 3rd place trying to buy a car, I should have made Klaben my first stop ! Justin helped me alot and didn't give up until he put me in something I really wanted. His manager Steve even came down on the price for me just so my down payment would be enough ! Everything was fast and easy I was in and out with my new jeep in just a couple hours.. My jeep was the perfect fit for me. I really appreciate the employees at Klaben ! More

Amazing Customer Service I purchased a car from Klaben in March of 2017. In January of 2018 I was involved in a bad car crash that left my vehicle totaled. Unfortunately, I wa I purchased a car from Klaben in March of 2017. In January of 2018 I was involved in a bad car crash that left my vehicle totaled. Unfortunately, I was left with a lot of negative equity after insurance and no idea how I was going to acquire a new car. Klaben worked diligently to find me a vehicle that would fit my budget and made sure that my children and I were safe. I have been a loyal customer to Klaben for over 20 years. There is no doubt that klaben will be my only source for vehicles for the next 20. Everyone I worked with from my salesman, Carl, finance manager, Brian, sales manager, Steve, all the way up to Rich Klaben, spent the time to work with me and help me in every way. Their care and concern for the customer was both calming and reassuring. I am extremely grateful for all their hard work to assist a single mother in her time of need. More
