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.

But we’re now at the point where going to see Phil at CR Toyota is our first and only stop. He knows his stuff, doesn’t ever pressure you and has always gone the extra mile to make sure we’re happy. 5 stars! More

Awesome costumer service!! I went in to Toyota, not expecting to leave with a car, just to check out the inventory. I met Terry Helgeson, a salesman, and he was awesome to work I went in to Toyota, not expecting to leave with a car, just to check out the inventory. I met Terry Helgeson, a salesman, and he was awesome to work with!! He found me a car that I fell in love with and gave me a great deal. He made sure I was all set and ready before I left the lot with my new car. I also worked with Curt Wiedemeier and Wendy Nelson, the financial people and they were very helpful. They knew the answer to all my questions and made sure I understood everything and were also very funny on top of that. Now I have a newer car that I never thought I'd be able to afford at a reasonable price thanks to Toyota and their team. More

So good I bought 3 new vehicles in a year Phil is always very fair and up front with us. We don’t feel like he’s trying to push us in any certain direction. We bought two new Toyotas from him Phil is always very fair and up front with us. We don’t feel like he’s trying to push us in any certain direction. We bought two new Toyotas from him at the beginning of this year. The Corolla we got was totaled out when I hit a deer, and Phil was the first person that we thought of when we had to go car shopping again. We bought another Corolla and are extremely satisfied. We also really appreciated working with Wendy in the finance department-she’s a rockstar! More

Amazing experience and felt welcomed !!! I went to Cedar Rapids Toyota to buy a Tacoma. I had done a bit research and identified the models I was planning to test drive. Alan Makabi showed me I went to Cedar Rapids Toyota to buy a Tacoma. I had done a bit research and identified the models I was planning to test drive. Alan Makabi showed me the models and explained the differences between models and options very patiently. He was amazingly helpful. Once I decided the model I want to purchase. He teamed up with Terry Helgson worked out price and trade of old car. Terry was referred to me by a colleague who brought Tacoma early 2017. He was very helpful on price options and explained with a breakdown. Wendy helped me with finance options and explained every option very patiently and I loved her Docu-pad. The whole team was amazing and had very welcoming experience. We already have Toyota Highlander and we were very satisfied with its performance and quality. Highlander was the reason to go back for another Toyota and Team in Cedar Rapids become another best reason for going back in future :) More

I truly hope I have a Reasonover n in the future to purchase another vehicle from Alan and Cedar Rapids Toyota. Thanks again Alan. More
