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.

Alan and Wendy are all very helpful and responsive, they answered every que and he is very patient, reliable and walked me through the whole process. Alan and Wendy are all very helpful and responsive, they answered every question I had. I like Toyota Cedar Rapids as they won’t force you to buy any additional packages or service, but really respect your choice. It only took me a week from searching cars to buying it. I won’t make it without their help. Strongly recommend!! More

Buying from out of town is a bit unnerving but the team at Cedar Point Toyota did a fantastic job at every step. From getting more pictures or videos to answering all the questions I had through walking th at Cedar Point Toyota did a fantastic job at every step. From getting more pictures or videos to answering all the questions I had through walking through the financing options, everything went as smoothly as possible. The delivery process also went very well, with the dealership coordinating the safe transport of the vehicle, finding a delivery service that was safe and reasonable. I would highly recommend the dealership, its straightforward pricing and the team I worked with. More

The process in which it took for me to finalize this purchase was immensely stressful and seemingly hazy + unfair. However, I thought that the price was assigned appropriately and in the end, I was able purchase was immensely stressful and seemingly hazy + unfair. However, I thought that the price was assigned appropriately and in the end, I was able to purchase the vehicle. I had communicated a clear intention to purchase that vehicle the day of, at the time of walk-in, and was told I had to wait to purchase the vehicle until the following morning in order for the financing department to get approval (this was 30 mins to their closing). When I contacted the salesperson the following morning to see what time I were to come and complete the title process, I was surprised to be told that he was with my car and currently test driving it with another potential buyer and my ability to purchase now relied on the individual "with the keys in their hands". Especially since I was told the evening before that I would have to wait and finalize the next day; it was incredibly unfair for there to be another individual test driving when I was told all we needed was the financing to be complete that morning. At the time of signing, there was confusion from the financial department as they had submitted an application for the vehicle under a different individual with a similar name, causing all of the financial portion of the application to have to be retracted and repeated with my information. However, whenever face to face interactions occurred, they were always considerate and accommodating. More
