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 went out of his way to make this deal happen, while on vacation, when it looked like it might not work out. His service and willingness to go out of his way is why I have now purchased my 5th Toyota in a row from him and will buy my next vehicles from him in the future. Wendy was great to work with as usual and made the finance part easy. All told, I was in and out and on my way home in under an hour. More

I was not really wanting to get rid of our current car but my husband convinced me to just look. After meeting with Alan and walking through all of the features I was sold. We felt like Alan was genuine and really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with our new purchase. Wendy also did a fantastic job of explaining everything to us and I never felt like she was trying to push us into anything. This is our first Toyota but I have a feeling it definitely won't be our last! More

Quick used vehicle purchase. I only give 4 stars because no one's perfect. However, this purchase was close to perfect as I could expect. The car I was interested in was immediate I only give 4 stars because no one's perfect. However, this purchase was close to perfect as I could expect. The car I was interested in was immediately available, the price was fair to both parties, the purchase and paperwork was quick and easy. I don't like to haggle over money, so having a dealership price fairly was a big plus and they found financing that was better than what I had checked out. Win-win. More

Great experience. I found my pre-owned Honda Odyssey van online and contacted the dealership through that outlet. They contacted me back within an hour and after asking I found my pre-owned Honda Odyssey van online and contacted the dealership through that outlet. They contacted me back within an hour and after asking for permission my salesman Alen called me and we talked for a bit about the van, the online purchase process, my trade in vehicle, etc. We thoi guy about it for a day or so while the van was going through their inspection and detail cleaning process. The next day we negotiated a deal and I made a deposit over the phone (I live 2.5 hrs away from this dealership) that was a Wednesday on Saturday o drove over. Processed the trade in, financing and drove away in about an hour. Kids t was all very seamless and I had zero issues at all. Thanks again Alen for a stress free experience and a great vehicle More

Dream came true! This was my second time back at Toyota looking for a vehicle. I didn't remember the 07 RAV4 being there the first time I was there, I was very happy This was my second time back at Toyota looking for a vehicle. I didn't remember the 07 RAV4 being there the first time I was there, I was very happy it was still there. When I met Alan the first time, I was very impressed how he handles any situation with customers. He's also not the typical salesman but he's good what he does. I will only purchase cars from Alan cuz I trust his judgement. Hopefully, Alan then next time I'm there I will be purchasing a newer RAV4 Hybrid metallic blue!! 😀 More
