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.

No high pressure sales. Very professional and helpful. He let me take the SUV for a few hours so I could get a feel for it, more than just a "test drive". I really appreciate that! Thanks so much Alan! Tiffany was awesome as well. She did a great job of explaining the financing and got me in and out of there quickly. She's great at what she does. More

Best experience ever!!!! In my 30 years of purchasing vehicles, this was by far the best experience that I have ever had. There was absolutely no pressure with the purchase an In my 30 years of purchasing vehicles, this was by far the best experience that I have ever had. There was absolutely no pressure with the purchase and I wasn't rushed at all. I must include that Alan came into the dealership during his vacation to ensure that I was taken care of from start to finish. His help was exceptional and he ensured that I received the vehicle that I wanted. Curt with finance was also very professional and did not waste my time by trying to sell me products and add-ons that I didn't need. I did a tremendous amount of research before choosing the vehicle I did, and the staff at CR Toyota treated me with respect, unlike some of the other dealerships in the area I visited. I will definitely use CR Toyota for future car purchases!!! More
