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.

Friendly staff, very accommodating We were very happy with Ty and the team. They took the time to locate the exact model and options we wanted. Unlike our experiences at other dealers We were very happy with Ty and the team. They took the time to locate the exact model and options we wanted. Unlike our experiences at other dealerships that tried to talk us into the models they had on the lot. Al did a great job walking us through all of the options and explaining the key features. The paperwork was a breeze, Curt got us in and out way quicker than expected and we were on the road with our new 4Runner. My wife and I were very impressed with the whole experience. More

From our s This is the first Toyota that we have looked at. We usually go Chevy. I was very impressed with the WHOLE experience at this dealership. From our sales person, Alan M to finance is was the least stressful car we have ever bought. My husband usually won't go to buy cars because of the high pressure but he said that we would definitely go back. Thanks again for helping us to get exactly what we were looking for. More
