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.

Alan and CR Toyota are always the best. We've shopped at a few dealerships in the past, but nobody hits it out of the park quite like these guys.

This is the second vehicle that Alan and the team have gotten us into and they've made a lifelong customer out of us! I recommend them to every single person who even mentions wanting to buy a car while in earshot, and I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. More

I also decided a few months ago I wanted the Camry XSE when I saw one in the showroom while I was getting the oil changed on the Prius. The new Camry is very sharp and fun to drive. I have been driving Accords for about 20 years so this was a big change. Alan made it easy! More

Stress Free One of my goals in life was to own a brand new car, That goal came true when I was able to purchse a 2019 Rav4. With reqirements set before Alan Maka One of my goals in life was to own a brand new car, That goal came true when I was able to purchse a 2019 Rav4. With reqirements set before Alan Makabi, he was able to find an SUV. The SUV included a full sun/moon roof, remote start and the most important requirement was so my 80 year old mother could get in and out of it easily due to her mobility issues. Alan was able to meet and exceed all of my expectations. He took care of me as well as my mother. Going over the financing was not difficult either. Wendy Nelson explained all of the financial and warrenty details with care. Her explanation was clear, concise, and down-to-earth. I was able to drive out of the dealership with my new RAV4. My overall impression of Toyota of Cedar Rapids, is one of excellence. They made my car buying experience stress free and I have a beautiful 2019 RAV4. More
