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! Alan was very knowledgeable on the vehicle I was interested in and ultimately bought. He took the time to show me what I needed to know about my brand Alan was very knowledgeable on the vehicle I was interested in and ultimately bought. He took the time to show me what I needed to know about my brand new 4Runner before I drove it out the door. He took the stress out of what can often be a stressful task when it comes to buying a new vehicle. Thank you Alan and Tom at Toyota in Hiawatha for helping me finally get my dream car. More

I have purchased on the order of 15 buying a new or used car it one of chores I really hate in life. With that said , Alan completely changed my mind. I have purchased on the order of 15-17 cars over the years and my experience with Alan and the toyota dealership was one of the best I've had. Alan's style of no pressure put me at ease and with his complete command of the product made my decision so much easier . I would highly recommend Alan and his dealership to anyone . More

"Clean and classy dealership!" Buying a Toyota was a new experience for me, but Alan Makabi made the process effortless!

I was shopping for a car for my college-aged daughter, and when Alan described the Safety Sense features and Siri Eyes Free to me I was sold. He went above and beyond by staying after hours to explain the different trim packages of the Corollas and patiently went over every detail of the car with me before buying and with my daughter after buying. Alan is someone I know I can rely on in the future to ask questions about the car and servicing needs. Thanks for the open communication you provided throughout the test drive, buying, and pick-up process! More

He communicates great whether it's text, email or on the phone. The service department is second to none. I have gone in thinking I needed new brakes, asking for them to be replaced and been told they aren't ready...where else are they going to be that honest?! Great dealership all the way around! We will try and always buy our vehicles from Alan at CR Toyota and they will all be serviced there no matter what! -Josh and Jess B. More
