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.

My positive experience began with a well designed and functioning web site. When I called the dealership and requested Alan, I was transferred immediatley. Alan returned my call within minutes. Alan w functioning web site. When I called the dealership and requested Alan, I was transferred immediatley. Alan returned my call within minutes. Alan was helpful, courteous and professional in closing the deal. After the papers were signed, Alan went above and beyond the call of duty by helping me remove a chrome accessory from my truck. At one point we were both kneeling on the parking lot in a team effort to dislodge the item. We were successful! Overall, this was a very pleasant vehicle buying experience. More

Alan was very patient with both of us as we both wanted something a little different. He stayed the course and kept with us and got us both what fit the bill (with a little good timing). Wendy took real something a little different. He stayed the course and kept with us and got us both what fit the bill (with a little good timing).
