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.

Best dealership in Cedar Rapids Over the years I've purchased many cars from just about every dealership in Cedar Rapids, and Cedar Rapids Toyota is my favorite. I've found their tr Over the years I've purchased many cars from just about every dealership in Cedar Rapids, and Cedar Rapids Toyota is my favorite. I've found their trade-in prices to be fair and their new and used car prices to be lower than average. For the last 10 years (maybe more) I've been dealing with Alan Makabi, who is the model of what all sales people should be. He is honest, efficient and works hard to get you the very best deal. Plus, he doesn't forget you after the sale, if you have any concerns, email Alan and he'll generally get back to you very quickly, sometimes within in minutes. Their Finance people are very good also, I typically don't buy any of the "add-ons" and they don't pressure me about it, they just move on. Wendy and Curt are great to deal with. Their service seems very good, but I have rarely needed to use them. More
