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.

This dealership has the absolute best customer service I have ever experienced. The employees and Mr. Klaben are very honest, understanding and thoughtful. They will do anything to get your vehicle running have ever experienced. The employees and Mr. Klaben are very honest, understanding and thoughtful. They will do anything to get your vehicle running properly with the upmost respect and transparency. I have gone to other dealerships and auto repair shops in the past, and they have always been very shady. I was expecting more of the same when I brought my truck to Klaben for servicing, but they proved my theory about dealerships wrong with their commitment to customer satisfaction. Both the employees and management will go the extra mile to explain things in detail and honor their price estimates. I finally found a dealership that I can trust, and I will always go to Klaben for future auto repair. Kim was very polite, gave detailed explanations and even offered to give me a ride somewhere while I waited for my truck. I also spoke to Mr. Klaben directly, and I could sense that he was very concerned with my situation. Truly amazing people! More
