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.

There has never been a more qualified, professional salesperson I have worked w The experience with Alan Makabi in purchasing a new car has no equal. There has never been a more qualified, professional salesperson I have worked with. This is our families fourth purchase with Alan, and most certainly not the last. He makes an out-of-town customer from GA feel like Family. Keep It up, we will be back again! More

Online purchase of Tacoma Great experience. I live 2 hours away so I inquired via the internet about a low-mileage Tacoma and was contacted by Alan Makabi soon after. He made Great experience. I live 2 hours away so I inquired via the internet about a low-mileage Tacoma and was contacted by Alan Makabi soon after. He made sure the vehicle was available and looked it over closely to answer some of my questions. I gave him my trade-in details and they came back with a very fair value on my trade. The Tacoma I purchased was priced exceptionally well, too. No surprises upon arriving a few days later and I was on my way home soon after feeling very satisfied with the whole experience. More
