Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 26 and Jacob is 19 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.

From the minute I met Alan, I knew I was in good hands and with someone whom I could trust. No sales pitch, just someone that truly cares about his clients and ALWAYS has their best interest in mind. The buying and trade in process was a breeze from start to finish. If you’re searching for a car, Alan should be your go to guy 10/10. Alan went above and beyond and has gained a client for life!

He explained everything plainly, answered any questions, was comfortable communicating via text or email, and was pleasant and personable. His experience shows. Everything went quickly and smoothly, and even with the intervening holiday, I drove off the lot with my new red car in just a few days! Curt in Finance was awesome and didn’t pressure me into adding products I won’t need. Buying my car was a fun experience! C More

My First Toyota I have always heard about how great the vehicle buying experience is at Toyota of CR and I was not disappointed. Alan did an excellent job working wi I have always heard about how great the vehicle buying experience is at Toyota of CR and I was not disappointed. Alan did an excellent job working with me. He went above and beyond to find me exactly what I was looking for and at the right price. Alan was great about listening to what I wanted and incorporating the ideas I had about the look of the 4Runner and he turned them into reality. I couldn’t be happier. Phil was also very helpful during the process, explaining everything to know about the vehicle and he even paired my phone so it would be ready to roll as soon as I jumped in. Everything was all wrapped up in a final meeting with Tiffany who did a Fantastic job of explaining the warranties, financing and Toyota services provided in a clear and understandable manner. She was excellent. I can say without question my experience at Toyota has been the best vehicle buying experience I have ever had. Thank you CR Toyota More

Everyone knows their jobs very well and can easily explain any details you need to know. We worked most with Alan Makabi and spent a lot of time with us both during the road test and after we bought the car. He helped us set everything on the car, including safety features, blue tooth and ApplePlay. Overall a seamless, stress free experience. We worked with 2 other employees, but I’m sorry I don’t remember their names, but they were good as well. More
