Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 24 and Jacob is 16 so you can imagine never a dull moment at our house. For pets, I have 2 aquatic turtles that beg for food whenever I am near the 55 gal tank that is stocked with several oversized Goldfish that now resemble Koi. My other pastime pleasure is cooking and thanks to my very thoughtful wife Myrna who bought me a smoker, I have acquired a love for smoked meats adding a layer to my waist line if you know what I mean. I have always been focused on taking care of customers and the last 19+ years I have spent in the car industry working on this 1 customer at a time. I take pride in having the privilege of running our internet team and being able to change the perception of how easy and hassle free a car buying experience can really be. A big THANK YOU to all my past customers and look forward to assisting all the future ones.

Easiest car purchase by far. We’ve bought quite a few cars and have always had the salesman haggle with us. Alan made this extremely smooth and was very helpful. Going above what We’ve bought quite a few cars and have always had the salesman haggle with us. Alan made this extremely smooth and was very helpful. Going above what you’d expect to receive. We’ll definitely be going back again. Even completing the financing was a breeze, no going back and forth from our bank to the dealership, they worked with our bank and no need to rerun our credit. If you need a new or used car, I would recommend swinging by Toyota of Cedar Rapids and asking for Alan. More
