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.

Great car buying experience I have been dealing with Klaben Ford for 20 years now, and more importantly, my salesman, Terry Baughman for 20 years. He has become an adopted family I have been dealing with Klaben Ford for 20 years now, and more importantly, my salesman, Terry Baughman for 20 years. He has become an adopted family member of ours. I pass several other closer dealerships because I know that I will be treated well, and cared for by Terry. He really makes car buying special. More

Has Been the Best Car Buying Experience of My Life Needed to buy a car for my new job. Went to Hyundai and Kia dealership, but they couldn't meet my financial restrictions. Went to Klaben Ford Lincoln Needed to buy a car for my new job. Went to Hyundai and Kia dealership, but they couldn't meet my financial restrictions. Went to Klaben Ford Lincoln in Kent, met Nathan Bryant, shared my financial needs and they were able to put me in a new car that had only 29 miles. This was well beyond my expectations, I thank all of them that was involved in this transaction....including the financing manager, Christine Klaben. Kudos....Jim Painter More

This is the only place I will buy a car. This is the second vehicle we have purchased form Klaben. Both salesmen were fantastic. Actually had a good time buying the car. Brandon was awesome, This is the second vehicle we have purchased form Klaben. Both salesmen were fantastic. Actually had a good time buying the car. Brandon was awesome, very knowledgeable about the vehicles we looked at. Then we came to the finance part of our little adventure. No problems what so ever. They made it easy and went the extra mile to make sure we got the absolute best financing available. The woman that took care of of our paperwork. Was also very fun to work with. Great sense of humor also had a blast. Who knew you could have that much fun buying a car. I highly recommend Klaben Kent. More
