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.

Above and Beyond Such a great experience. Went in to renew my lease. Alan's communication and work before getting to the dealership was phenomenal! We spent time ta Such a great experience. Went in to renew my lease. Alan's communication and work before getting to the dealership was phenomenal! We spent time talking through the options and I ended up getting a pretty amazing deal on a new Rav4 limited. While already impressed with the service, Bill in the finance department is what made this experience standout. He went well above and far beyond what my expectations were and at the end of everything my payments were $70 cheaper!! Bill and Alan both were incredibly professional and friendly and there is no where else I would choose to do business! Thank you both :) More

Best Experience Ever! We dealt with Alan and Wendy for the lease of our new Toyota Highlander. This was the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. No pressure o We dealt with Alan and Wendy for the lease of our new Toyota Highlander. This was the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. No pressure or unneccessary steps. We got there on a tight timeline and drove off with our new toy in less than 4 hours afterwards. Wendy and Alan cared that we had our newly born twin boys with us and thus did their best to make us feel comfortable. The best part of it is that Alan, took his time to host and keep our 7 year old busy while we met and finalized things with Wonderful Wendy in her office. No matter where I am, I will ALWAYS buy any future cars from Cedar Rapids Toyota! More

Quick & Easy! Before going to the dealership, I had communication online with Alan about the vehicles I was interested it. He was very responsive and gave me lots Before going to the dealership, I had communication online with Alan about the vehicles I was interested it. He was very responsive and gave me lots of information that was helpful in making my decision. Once we met in person, he explained everything I needed to know about the vehicle, walked me through how to use the interior options, and took us on a unique test drive on various terrains to experience how the vehicle drove. I was concerned about sticking around and purchasing today because of having a toddler at home with a sitter, so I knew our time was limited. However, Alan and the rest of the team worked quickly to get all the paperwork together so I could purchase the car and be out of there within just a couple hours (if that!) Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed the low pressure atmosphere. Definitely recommend the dealership and sales team! More

Great Experience The team was very responsive to my questions, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Wendy made the finance process quick, painless, and fun. The team was very responsive to my questions, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Wendy made the finance process quick, painless, and fun. Alan Makabi went over and above by helping start the XM radio service as well as showing me how to sync my phone. I made this purchase at end of business day, and the service detailer stayed a little late so I could have a clean car to ride home in. A+ Experience all around. More
