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.

Great customer service experience; no high pressure Everyone I dealt with at Klaben was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Tom Nicodemus and I spent a couple of hours looking at vehicles, disc Everyone I dealt with at Klaben was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Tom Nicodemus and I spent a couple of hours looking at vehicles, discussing features, etc. and I never felt pressured or rushed during our conversations. He had called in advance to get an idea of what kind of vehicle I was in the market to buy and selected 3 or 4 in advance based on our conversation. Stephanie Slomberg was very thorough in explaining financing options and each document as we went through them together. I met Rich Klaben and appreciate the culture he has developed at this dealership. I was extremely pleased with the car-buying experience at Klaben Ford. More
