Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 24 and Jacob is 16 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.

We really o We called Alan Makabi to say we'd be coming to look at new a Prius. Well, it was his day off but he came in to work and sold us a new car. We really only came to look! Alan was friendly, extremely helpful and knows his stuff. I was very attached to my 2008 Prius and hated to see her left behind. Love my new Prius! Carolyn Maas More

Alan Aces and Wendy Wows Greetings: Our selection and buying experience was excellent. Alan and Wendy both are very knowledgeable, not to mention efficient and personable. The Greetings: Our selection and buying experience was excellent. Alan and Wendy both are very knowledgeable, not to mention efficient and personable. The way the dealership uses technology to facilitate the process is really neat - Wendy has a smart desk - we could all see what she was explaining to us, so, easier to understand and very quick. Alan listens, understands our needs, and works to meet/exceed those needs. We will be back. Cheers. More

When the exact model we wanted was not available, they helped order the model we wanted. The team provided updates every few days to let me know when we should expect the vehicle to arrive. Upon receiving the vehicle, they made sure I understood how to use various features of the vehicle before I drove off with it. Definitely recommend! More
