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.

I called Alan a couple of weeks before we were due home and told him what I wanted. We flew home Friday night and picked up our new Highlander Saturday afternoon. He spent time familiarizing me with all of the safety features and multiple other options that new technology affords me. We have been a Toyota family for years and Alan’s attention to detail insured that we will remain a Toyota family! It was a pleasure dealing with him and Cedar Rapids Toyota. More
