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.

good people We are so pleased with our experience at Cedar Rapids toyota when purchasing our new 2017 Highlander xle. We feel we got the best deal when dealing We are so pleased with our experience at Cedar Rapids toyota when purchasing our new 2017 Highlander xle. We feel we got the best deal when dealing with alan Makabi Mike Leuenburger and wendy Nelson. We told them what we wanted for a trade on our 2014 and the additional items we wanted to add to the car and it was no problem. In fact, it was so easy, we drove our new car home that same day. We tried to work a deal with another Toyota dealer south of C.R. but they were not willing to give us what we wanted for a trade.Mike Leuenburger was instrumental in helping us get the best deal here. C.R. Toyota's new building is very clean and up to date and it was comfortable waiting to get all the paperwork done. And.... they have popcorn too. We are second time buyers from this dealer and are very happy we traded with them again. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that since we are second time buyers, we have had a relationship with this service dept. and they are the easiest to provide service without a lot of wait time and their mechanics do a great job with service.

I happen to stumble across a Tundra at Cedar Rapids Toyota that was exactly what I was looking for. Alan Makabi from the internet side reached out to me to get a little bit better feel as to what I was looking for and assured me, this was everything I was searching for. Alan was very courteous and not pushy at all. He even had to deal with a bawling 2.5 year old that would not go into the truck. Alan made the buying experience very easy and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a vehicle. More
