I have been working for Cedar Rapids Toyota for the past 4 years. I have really enjoyed my experiences with all of my colleagues and customers. My personal life includes my wife Sherri, along with my four boys and my five year old granddaughter. In my free time I like to appreciate the outdoors by hunting and fishing. I also enjoy cooking for my family and friends.

this dealership is about the same as others that advertise certain vehicles but when you call on them they are already sold . Why are they advertising vehicles that are al;ready sold . & don't tell advertise certain vehicles but when you call on them they are already sold . Why are they advertising vehicles that are al;ready sold . & don't tell me they haven't had time to remove them from the internet. They are sold before the cars even get to the dealer in most cases. again why are they advertising vehicles that are not availible!!! They try to switch you to something else on the lot. More

Empowering the buyer to buy smart We worked with Gene our first visit. We came in knowing we wanted a Rav4. He was very welcoming right off the bat and not super "salesy". Gene educate We worked with Gene our first visit. We came in knowing we wanted a Rav4. He was very welcoming right off the bat and not super "salesy". Gene educated us on the Rav4s the years, the styles, what to look for such as certified and how to look over the carfax. We really felt that his goal was to get our family into a good safe vehicle. During the process we worked with other dealers all over iowa and time after time we found these other places to be dishonest or trying to sell us something we didn't want. We ended up coming back to CR even tho they didn't have the color we wanted they made us feel like we were not going to get screwed over. When we returned Gene was on vacation so we worked witj Alan. Again he was Great. He took us on a test drive that was a rough road to show is how solid and great the vehicle was. The dealership was swampped and still Alan kept the process moving efficiently. The facilities are sooo nice. The kids room the refreshments everything was so handy when we had a toddler. After the purchase was made even tho the dealership was so busy Alan sat in the Rav4 with me showing me how to use everything. We couldn't have had a better experience. We felt like we were treated like high rolling customers..... and that we were joining the family. Thanks again guys! More
