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.

Awesome Service I found a 2017 Lexus RX 350 online. Sent an online inquiry around 9:30 am. Alan Makabi responded almost immediately. He took the time to take pictu I found a 2017 Lexus RX 350 online. Sent an online inquiry around 9:30 am. Alan Makabi responded almost immediately. He took the time to take pictures of vehicle outside and send to me. We drove up and arrived around 4:50 pm and test drove vehicle and purchased it. Wendy did our paperwork and we were on the road by 6:15 pm with our new suv. Alan was very nice, personable, knowledgable and not pushy at all. If all sales people were like him everyone would be buying cars like crazy! Wendy was awesome! Coolest desk ever. Like a smart board desk all the form were signed on a screen under the desktop. She was super down to earth like a cool family member. She had us on our way in no time flat. Love these 2 peeps! Great customer service! More

Made us feel like VIPs This was our second experience buying a car with Alan, and likely not the last. Beyond having detailed knowledge of all the vehicles that we looked at This was our second experience buying a car with Alan, and likely not the last. Beyond having detailed knowledge of all the vehicles that we looked at, Alan patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel like we were the only customers in the dealership. He even went so far as to help me surprise my wife by helping me conceal that we were getting a higher end trim package (at my request). Overall, the entire experience felt transparent, convenient, and even fun! With three and half years of routine service appointments and two purchase experiences, we have yet to have a disappointing experience with CR Toyota. Thanks Alan! More

I was caught o Overall, pleased with my new 4Runner. I had changed my mind on color and my sales rep quickly found a different one that I had in mind. I was caught off guard when going to sign the title that the vehicle I thought I was purchasing was actually a different one from another store. I only noticed from the vin # being different, but was never told up until that point that this was a different vehicle than I had ordered. Obviously, it worked out and I was still happy with the 4Runner, but I feel I should have been informed of the switch. I still am not sure of the circumstance of why this happened as it was never explained. In the end, I got the 4Runner and had a relatively good experience with Toyoda. More
