I started in 1974 washing cars and thereafter filled many positions and assumed added responsibilities within the Klaben Auto Group prior to attaining my current leadership position. With the guidance and mentoring I received from my Father, Al Klaben Sr., I have remained true to the core principles upon which our business was founded. Customer Driven - Integrity - Hard Work - Commitment to Excellence - Continuous Improvement. Customers are the foundation of our success! We have a team of quality individuals who work together to leverage our collective resources with the intention of delivering customer experiences that stand apart in an atmosphere of transparency, trust and respect. We share one common goal, to deliver the best value to our customers, team members, partners and communities. I'm proud to be a part of the Klaben Team. Family comes first and I'm blessed with 4 incredible children and a very special & supportive wife. Call 330.673.3139 ext 308

Matt, We’re embarrassed that we have put you in a situation to question our character and intentions. Integrity is a bedrock principle of the Klaben organization and it’s disheartening that our actions gave you the opposite impression. As of yet, we have been unsuccessful in reaching you by phone. We want to make it clear that we recognize our responsibility to be respectful of your time in any subsequent communications. Our aim is to provide value and to concisely address any shortcomings and/or items due. We’re hopeful that you’ll give us the opportunity to restore your faith in in the Klaben team. Timothy Beane, General Sales Manager, (330) 673-3139 ext 506 & Jim Arnold, Service Manager, (330) 673-3139 ext 409

Adam, The entire team is disheartened to hear of your dissatisfaction. As mentioned in your review, a great deal of thought, time and resources were utilized to bring closure to your most recent service visit. The team decision to execute multiple goodwill measures was intended to ensure your satisfaction and renew your faith in the Klaben team. Additionally, those measures were in the spirit of consideration and integrity which is a cornerstone of our brand. As such, it is extremely disappointing at this stage for our integrity to be in question once again. The Klaben leadership team is hopeful that the words and actions from our in-person meeting summate the organization’s true character and intention. We remain at your service.

Tim, I did take into consideration the resolutions that were found between us. I also hope that you can understand the feeling of disappointment is mutual. I understand that accidents can and will occur, however when they do, the owners need to be made aware. If I can see the paint abnormalities, a seasoned used car salesman will as well, which means that my resale has now been affected. So, with all considerations being made I am struggling to conjure a reaction other than disappointment. The moment an incident occurred I should have been made aware, the second opportunity to speak up was when I pointed out the adjacent damage that also wasn't acknowledged, and the third major opportunity would have been the in-depth meeting. A lot of opportunities were missed. That to me, is in fact disheartening.

Adam, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have reviewed the completed work summary with the body shop team. A scratch and dent in the rocker panel were repaired which were done to address the damage you pointed out to our service team. As with all of our body shop repairs, the work was done with intention of the highest standards of quality. Our body shop team is eager to have a meeting with you to review the specifics of the work completed and to address your perception and belief of any substandard repair. It’s incumbent upon us to be accountable and maintain integrity in every service, sales and body shop transaction we complete regardless of the circumstances. I’d be appreciative if you could please email me at tbeane@klaben.com or call me at (330) 673-3139 ext. 506 so we may schedule a meeting with our body shop team. Thanks, Timothy Beane (330) 673-3139 ext. 506
