My name is Wendy Nelson. I grew up in a small town, Deep River that has a population of about the size of our dealership. I graduated from High school in Montezuma. I then attended and graduated from the U of I. After I graduated I got a job selling cars at a dealership in Iowa City. Low and behold I ended up here at Cedar Rapids Toyota doing financing. It is hard to believe that I have worked for such a great co now for so many years. Not sure where all that time has gone. It doesn’t seem possible. The best part about going to work every day is that I truly love what I do and the people that I get to work with. Every customer is different and has different needs.

He was very helpful, and not high pressure at all! Everyone at the dealership was enthusiastic and made us feel comfortable with the purchase experience. Even insisting they detail the truck before delivery. Will definitely recommend CR Toyota to my friends! More

Alan Makabi was straight First of all, this is our second brand new vehicle that we bought and this experience was by far the best we have ever had. Alan Makabi was straight forward, honest, and fun to work with. Alan definitely made it feel that we are joining a family and a great team which we are now part of. I would recommend going to Cedar Rapids Toyota and finding Alan to make sure your experience was as great as ours. We also worked with Wendy Nelson in finance who was able to get us in and out with ease and made sure we were happy with everything. Wendy was fantastic and answered all of our questions along with making us feel comfortable. Thank you both Alan and Wendy for everything you put up with when it came to our vehicle buying experience! You two are rockstars and we will make sure to always recommend seeing you both along with being a returning customer. More
