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.

Best Experience Ever! We dealt with Alan and Wendy for the lease of our new Toyota Highlander. This was the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. No pressure o We dealt with Alan and Wendy for the lease of our new Toyota Highlander. This was the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. No pressure or unneccessary steps. We got there on a tight timeline and drove off with our new toy in less than 4 hours afterwards. Wendy and Alan cared that we had our newly born twin boys with us and thus did their best to make us feel comfortable. The best part of it is that Alan, took his time to host and keep our 7 year old busy while we met and finalized things with Wonderful Wendy in her office. No matter where I am, I will ALWAYS buy any future cars from Cedar Rapids Toyota! More

review Spencer T Very well informed about the vehicle we were interested in purchasing. Gave us a lot of helpful insights. You could tell he had really done his homewo Very well informed about the vehicle we were interested in purchasing. Gave us a lot of helpful insights. You could tell he had really done his homework on the vehicle. He did not try to push us into something we were not interested in. He listened to what we had to say and was very polite and again helpful. Kept us up on the process through the whole buying experience. We also found Wendy during the purchase of the vehicle to be very informative on the warranties offered and what they covered as well as insurance coverage questions. Processed in a timely manner and kept us informed throughout. Overall a very enjoyable experience, will definitely recommend them. More

The team was very responsive to my questions, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Wendy made the finance process quick, painless, and fun. Alan Makabi went over and above by helping start the XM radio service as well as showing me how to sync my phone. I made this purchase at end of business day, and the service detailer stayed a little late so I could have a clean car to ride home in. A+ Experience all around. More

We decided that a new 2015 Rav4 from CR Toyota was the best choice for us Needed to replace a ten year old vehicle and had looked at serveral options. We decided that a new 2015 Rav4 from CR Toyota was the best choice for us. Tim Valentine was very helpful in providing all the info and support that we needed without pressuring us to make a decision. The paperwork was quick and easy with the amazing help of Wendy Nelson. Thank you Tim and Wendy and CR Toyota for a great car buying experience. More
