Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 26 and Jacob is 19 so you can imagine never a dull moment at our house. For pets, I have 2 aquatic turtles that beg for food whenever I am near the 55 gal tank that is stocked with several oversized Goldfish that now resemble Koi. My other pastime pleasure is cooking and thanks to my very thoughtful wife Myrna who bought me a smoker, I have acquired a love for smoked meats adding a layer to my waist line if you know what I mean. I have always been focused on taking care of customers and the last 19+ years I have spent in the car industry working on this 1 customer at a time. I take pride in having the privilege of running our internet team and being able to change the perception of how easy and hassle free a car buying experience can really be. A big THANK YOU to all my past customers and look forward to assisting all the future ones.

Alan Makabi is great. He took the time to help me hone in on what I wanted. No pressure but let me evaluate the options. Likewise the paperwork portion of the purchase was a pleasure.

Cedar Rapids Toyota responded to a request for a quick turn around on my recent purchase. I arrived Satutday morning, wanting to have the vehicle that day.

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

Alan was great. I was out of town and worked through details over the phone and he was prompt, informative, extremely accommodating and fair.
