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.

Fast and Friendly Car Buying The car buying experience was smooth with Alan and Wendy. I would recommend and contact them in the future for another vehicle purchase. Other areas s The car buying experience was smooth with Alan and Wendy. I would recommend and contact them in the future for another vehicle purchase. Other areas such as the receptionist and service department have not been nearly as friendly, helpful or thorough as other dealerships I've done business with in the surrounding area. More

He sold me my first ever Toyota, a 2017 Rav 4 and I just love it. Alan really went above and beyond and added his personal touch. It's like we have know him for years. He is very nice and probably the best car sales person that I've ever delt with. He made sure why knew everything about the Rav before we left and even did the programming and added or phones to the blue tooth and set our radio stations. Alan, you are fantastic and we will be back asking for you when we are ready for a new car again. More
