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

Yvonne, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your experience at our service facility. Your positive remarks for members of our team, as well as your concerns about our customer service are greatly appreciated. Your overall rating of 4 stars, as well as your comments, clearly tell us that we have room for improvement. We should have done a better job of communicating with you overall. That being said, I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly so that I can gain further insight into your experience. This will allow me to share with our team, what we could/should have done differently. To many, a 4-star review is acceptable. It is not unacceptable to us, it is simply that we strive to always exceed the expectations of our customers, and when we don't, we look for opportunities to improve upon processes that will benefit our customers. I am aware that you have been in contact with Ken Harris regarding this visit, but as the service director, would like to gain insight as to where we could have done better on the service side. If you could reach out to me, this would be greatly appreciated. I owe it to you to hear from you directly and to also see if there is anything that I can try and do for you at this point. I will end by thanking you again for your feedback, while hoping to hear from you soon. Jeff Ashley, jashley@klaben.com, 330-673-3139 ext 405.
