General Sales Manager
Klaben Ford Lincoln
1089 West Main Street
Kent, OH 44240
I started working at Klaben when I was 16 years old, answering phones and filing paperwork. Throughout my high school and college years, I took on various roles at the dealership which helped to expand my knowledge and understanding of the business. I started working in the Finance Department at the age of 23, while completing my MBA at the University of Akron. I had a strong curiosity and interest in Finance, mostly because of my love for working with people and numbers. I worked as a Finance Manager for 19 years, and transitioned to the role of Sales Manager in August 2021. I am proud to work for a company that grounds itself in customer loyalty and satisfaction and have enjoyed the relationships I have built with several of my customers over the years.

Why I like Klaben Ford Lincoln 2012 was my first experience with Klaben, where I purchased a Fusion Hybrid, after hearing lots of advertising on WNIR through the late Howie Chizek & 2012 was my first experience with Klaben, where I purchased a Fusion Hybrid, after hearing lots of advertising on WNIR through the late Howie Chizek & John Denning. The staff was friendly & treated us like family, with no pressure tactics or extra agents. If ever there was a relaxed atmosphere to buy a car, Mike Cooney & team provided it. This time I was interested in a 2017 Fusion Energi. Though 2 other dealerships responded via internet, I really wanted to work with Klaben & Mike again, if possible, & said so. It happened! The deal was time sensitive, with lots of unusual details involved that muddled my mind, but with my son working on my behalf with Mike & the team, they were able to find the perfect car, offer me a deal that fit my budget & take care of the other details that may have derailed me in this particular circumstance. It again felt like a family atmosphere, as we knocked out the paperwork, then Mike's tutelage of the how to's with the new vehicle & its technology. I was elated to get an even better deal than I would have with the other dealers & be able to stay with a dealership I deem I can trust with sales & service, where we have also developed a fine & fair working relationship. Mike went out of his way to make this work, & that's what keeps me coming back, after only 3 yrs of living here. Thank you, Mike, & Klaben crew! More

Excellent I came into the dealership expecting to be told that they were unable to help me and to be treated as if I was wasting their time, just like all the o I came into the dealership expecting to be told that they were unable to help me and to be treated as if I was wasting their time, just like all the other dealerships I had been to. Instead, they treated me like I was just as important as every other customer there and they did everything they could to help me get into a new car!!! They took the time to explain what they were doing every step of the way and why they were doing it. They made me feel like a person not just another sale and for that reason alone I will continue to give them my business!! More

Everyone we had contact with was friendly and quick to work with us. We had a time constraint and they worked with us on that. They did not try to oversell an upgrade but paid attention to what WE wanted. We bought a Ford Explorer and are very happy with our decision in the car and in the dealership! More
