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.

An amazing car buying experience :) This was an absolutely amazing experience. It was my first time buying a car, and Alan made it so easy. He was patient while answering all my question This was an absolutely amazing experience. It was my first time buying a car, and Alan made it so easy. He was patient while answering all my questions and listening to what I was looking for in a new vehicle. He explained everything that I needed to know even before I knew to ask a question. I especially have appreciated the fact that he has followed up with me after the sale to make sure that I'm still just as happy with my new Corolla as I was when I left the lot. More

Trading up to a new model was made easy. It was a pleasure to work with Alan Makabi to purchase a new RAV4. I initially inquired online about a vehicle and Alan promptly responded to my inqui It was a pleasure to work with Alan Makabi to purchase a new RAV4. I initially inquired online about a vehicle and Alan promptly responded to my inquiry. An appointment to look at the car was made the same day. Alan was extremely friendly and helpful. I told him what I was looking for and he showed a car on the lot that was the model I was looking for. He spent time going over all the updates to the new RAV4. I was wanting a different color car but same style. They didn't have one on the lot but he was able to quickly find the exact car that I wanted. Upon delivery of the car Alan spent time with me helping me to program the car and and making sure I was aware of all the functions. He made buying a new car so easy. We also worked with Tiffany Houck in the finance department. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in setting up finance for our new RAV4. Thanks to both Alan and Tiffany our purchase of a new car was a great experience. More
