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.

Great experience! We leased a 2015 Toyota Sienna on April 17. We worked with Sarah and Wendy. They were both friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of our question We leased a 2015 Toyota Sienna on April 17. We worked with Sarah and Wendy. They were both friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. We spent a short amount of time making the deal and are very satisfied with everything they did for us. Sarah showed me a lot of the features of the new van that would've taken me quite awhile to figure out on my own. More

Highlander Purchase We had returned to look and possibly purchase a new car. We went back to Terry from whom we had purchases a Highlander in the past. As usual, thi We had returned to look and possibly purchase a new car. We went back to Terry from whom we had purchases a Highlander in the past. As usual, this experience was very positive. We were treated with respect, all questions we had were answered fully to our understanding and as a consequence we purchased a new Avalon and Highlander. When picking up the Highlander, Wendy completed the paperwork which was very thorough and was done in a business and friendly manner. Terry then proceeded to introduce us to the Highlander and its many functions. He suggested, that for the initial orientation, that we write down questions, make an appointment and come back for answers and more information about the vehicle. I would definitely recommend Terry and the dealership for anyone wishing to purchase a new or used vehicle. More

The maintenance found some issues on their routine inspection and fixed them without increasing the price of the car. I would recommend them highly. More

Mike Leuenburger and Chris Langhurst set me up with Terry and gave me direction in regards to how the process would be handled. Wendy handled my closing and the signing of all the documents and Curt also answered some questions for my wife and I prior to closing. The entire staff was very helpful and courteous ! Terry is very good at what he does. He takes the time to explain the process and was up front the entire way ! I would not hesitate to refer any of my family, friends, or co-workers to work with Terry ! Terry really goes the extra yard to make sure that I understand what I need to understand and make sure the end product is what I want ! Thanks Terry ! More

I'm from WI and our Toyota dealership was not ge I contacted CR Toyota by phone to check to see if they were getting in a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO. I'm from WI and our Toyota dealership was not getting one in, so needed to go to a different dealership. Kory at CR Toyota was the sales person I dealt with. He was very professional and easy to work with. We corresponded for 2 month over e-mail and phone, to coordinate the delivery of my 2015 TRD PRO. When the truck finally came in I set up financing over the phone and online and when I came to pick up the truck all paperwork was done already. It was one of the easiest auto purchases I've ever made. They were willing to work with me on my trade-in and the purchase went flawlessly. I really appreciate the efforts and professionalism that the CR Toyota performed. Thank You again, for a positive buying experience. I will definitely recommend CR Toyota to others. Lori More

Great Experience with Cedar Rapids Toyota/Gene Lytle Gene was very professional and nice. He worked with me to do what he could to get me in the van of my choice. I have never made a purchase on a vehicl Gene was very professional and nice. He worked with me to do what he could to get me in the van of my choice. I have never made a purchase on a vehicle this big before so I was very nervous. Gene made me feel comfortable and didn't pressure me to do anything. I had questions on the vehicle and Gene did everything to make sure the vehicle was safe and ready for me and my 3 children to be safe and comfortable. I feel like I will be buying many more vehicles from this dealership because of Gene, Wendy and the rest of the staff. Wendy was also great and helpful with all the details of the financing. She knows her job very well and it shows in her performance. I hope that Gene and Wendy are still working at Toyota when I decide to buy my next car for my family as I don't foresee myself going anywhere else. More
