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.

Used car purchase I contacted the dealer through the internet regarding a used vehicle purchase for my son. I found a good candidate vehicle with a complete service his I contacted the dealer through the internet regarding a used vehicle purchase for my son. I found a good candidate vehicle with a complete service history on CARFAX, and was pleased that the dealer sponsored the CARFAX report. I had some questions and a couple of minor concerns. The sales person, Alan Makabi, addressed my concerns and answered my questions. He took the time to research a couple of things and we made the deal. All in all a great experience. We have our VW Jetta Sportwagon serviced at the VW side and today they also serviced my Nissan Murano because I could not get into the Nissan dealer for service until after the New Year. I would recommend Alan, Wendy Nelson in finance was great to work with too. More

From GM Products to Toyota I was online and noticed a truck I was interested in. Sent in my email address, and within 24 hours had a response back from Alan. This was on a Sun I was online and noticed a truck I was interested in. Sent in my email address, and within 24 hours had a response back from Alan. This was on a Sunday. I was so impressed with Alan and ended going to Toyota a couple days later. What a professional, Alan was very easy to work with, showed me a truck, let me take it for a drive, and came back with a excellent offer on my truck. At that point the deal was struck. The next excellent experience was working with Wendy, very professional and really explained everything pertaining to Toyota, the truck and the Company. I am so pleased with these two people, and the dealership, I would highly recommend them to anyone. And I will be back. Thanks Alan and Wendy for making my Christmas Merry. Bill More

I looked all over town for a new vehicle but it was extremely hard due to my work schedule. Alan went above and beyond by coming into the office early, on a Monday, to help me look at their selection. Wendy made the paper work completely stress and hassle free. I would highly recommend Cedar Rapids Toyota to anyone who is looking for new vehicles. More
