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.

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Cedar Rapids Toyota Not gonna lie, this dealership KNOWS what they are doing in terms of treating customer right and fairly! I loved and thoroughly enjoyed working with A Not gonna lie, this dealership KNOWS what they are doing in terms of treating customer right and fairly! I loved and thoroughly enjoyed working with Alan who (BY THE WAY) came on his day off to hand me the keys as he knew I drove 3+ hours away to come pick my car up. This dealership provides you with even Starbucks coffee and sometimes pie's. Alan also gave me a tour of the entire place since they have done a re-model. I have never been to a Toyota dealership but now I know what beyond the STANDARD is in terms of people who care about the experience you deserve at Cedar Rapids Toyota. Job well done Alan working with you from start to finish. More

Sent an online inquiry around 9:30 am. Alan Makabi responded almost immediately. He took the time to take pictures of vehicle outside and send to me. We drove up and arrived around 4:50 pm and test drove vehicle and purchased it. Wendy did our paperwork and we were on the road by 6:15 pm with our new suv. Alan was very nice, personable, knowledgable and not pushy at all. If all sales people were like him everyone would be buying cars like crazy! Wendy was awesome! Coolest desk ever. Like a smart board desk all the form were signed on a screen under the desktop. She was super down to earth like a cool family member. She had us on our way in no time flat. Love these 2 peeps! Great customer service! More

Extremely Helpful We were at an impasse on what to do with our lease. Get another Highlander. Buy it. Go with another brand. And when I thought I knew what I needed We were at an impasse on what to do with our lease. Get another Highlander. Buy it. Go with another brand. And when I thought I knew what I needed to know about leasing, I spoke with Terry and learned so much more. Terry was recommended to us by friends and we were glad we listened to them. Terry was very kind. Not pushy. Helpful on so many levels. We learned things about the new Highlander that were never explained with the Highlander we were turning in. Features we didn’t know either existed or what they were for. Very informative. Wendy in finance was helpful, fun to talk with and very down to earth. We would definitely come back and work with these folks again. Thank you!!! M&J More

Great to work with We were referred to Terry by a friend.. Terry made our car purchasing experience a great experience. We discussed what type a vehicle we were looking We were referred to Terry by a friend.. Terry made our car purchasing experience a great experience. We discussed what type a vehicle we were looking for and then went into the lot and looked at several and found the one we were interested in. He took us on a test drive pointing out different features of the car. He explained all of our options. After everything was finalized he took us to our new vehicle and spent time explaining all the features of the car. We appreciated all the time and energy Terry put in to making a sale with us and would recommend them to others. More
