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.

Will buy our next car at the same place Alan and Wendy both went out of their way to make sure that we would want to buy our next car at the same location. Alan reviewed a chat I had on the Alan and Wendy both went out of their way to make sure that we would want to buy our next car at the same location. Alan reviewed a chat I had on the holiday and then initiated and answered questions that same day (a national holiday) from home to make sure any questions I had about the vehicle was answered. The route for the test drive was well thought out to see what the car could do. The whole process after that was smooth. Wendy made the financial aspects of the transaction easy and transparent. The choices we had were clearly presented. Both Alan and Wendy were friendly and professional. Thanks! More

Excellent car buying experience at CR Toyota. I went to CRT to purchase a Highlander and was met immediately by Alan Makabi to start the process. Alan has been great to work with and explained the I went to CRT to purchase a Highlander and was met immediately by Alan Makabi to start the process. Alan has been great to work with and explained the Highlander and all its amenities very well. After a pleasant negotiation on price we signed the deal. CRT did not have the Highlander I wanted but was able to bring in the vehicle in a couple of days from another dealer. I am very impressed with Alans knowledge of the vehicle and getting the deal done in such a timely manner. This is our fourth Highlander and love the new one especially. Over the past 14 years working with the CRT service department has been a good experience and always satisfied with the service and workmanship. I will gladly recommend CRT to all my family, friends, neighbors and business contacts. I will be in again sometime in the future to see Alan and purchase another great Toyota. More

Great experience and wonderful dealership! We have purchased multiple vehicles from Cedar Rapids Toyota and recently purchased a used car for our teenager. This was our second experience worki We have purchased multiple vehicles from Cedar Rapids Toyota and recently purchased a used car for our teenager. This was our second experience working with Sarah, and she is consistently terrific. She knew what we were looking for and contacted us right away when a great little car came in on trade. Sarah is professional, kind, and completely no-pressure. Working with her feels more like working with a friend than a salesperson! In addition, we enjoyed working with Wendy in finance. We have nothing but positive things to say about CR Toyota and recommend them often. Everyone from management to sales to service is excellent. More

Online purchase of Tacoma Great experience. I live 2 hours away so I inquired via the internet about a low-mileage Tacoma and was contacted by Alan Makabi soon after. He made Great experience. I live 2 hours away so I inquired via the internet about a low-mileage Tacoma and was contacted by Alan Makabi soon after. He made sure the vehicle was available and looked it over closely to answer some of my questions. I gave him my trade-in details and they came back with a very fair value on my trade. The Tacoma I purchased was priced exceptionally well, too. No surprises upon arriving a few days later and I was on my way home soon after feeling very satisfied with the whole experience. More

Excellent sales person-Steve Strauss/Wendy financial advisor The dealership is the best I have ever dealt with. There was no high pressure from the sales person, Steve. He was courteous and followed up with a The dealership is the best I have ever dealt with. There was no high pressure from the sales person, Steve. He was courteous and followed up with a letter after I visited the first time. The 2nd time he was very helpful with the transfer and the selling of the 2015 Corolla. He also sent me another letter as a followup which was entirely unexpected. The financial service was excellent-Wendy was excellent and although she was busy with someone else, she took the time to help me with the extended coverage/the gentleman that helped me was also excellent. I will never forget that. I would recommend your dealer ship to anyone. Peg More
