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.

Enjoyed buying from Alan. Didn't feel any pressure. Wendy was nice and made sure we knew she wasnt paid in commission so whatever we chose was up to us. Everything went smoothly and was completed quickly. Th was nice and made sure we knew she wasnt paid in commission so whatever we chose was up to us.

When that was not possible, they arranged a loaner car for me. It made a big difference since I had been driving a U-Haul due to an across-the- country move. Alan, the sales person was knowlegeable and on the ball - he even gave me a ride from my hotel. Many thanks! More
