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.

Repeat Customer - Took last 14' 4Runner on the lot! Yet another great experience working with CR Toyota and Alan Makabi specifically. We are repeat customers for the dealership and Alan. In this day a Yet another great experience working with CR Toyota and Alan Makabi specifically. We are repeat customers for the dealership and Alan. In this day and age, that is a very positive testament to our two car buying experiences, I highly recommend working with Alan as he spent a great deal of time answering questions via email, on the phone and in person. No hard sell, only listed to our wants and matched us up with a car. Both purchases were for my wife's vehicle and he treated her with great respect both times. He was great with our 6 year old also, playing with her in their toy room while we were busy working on a price. We chose to finance because of Toyota's great deals and working with Wendy Nelson was seamless, smooth and quick - no hard sell again but provided all the options and information we need to put us into the packages that were right for us. Looking forward to enjoying our new 4Runner for many years! More

Dealership with Sterling qualities Technology in cars changes over the years and so does the way a dealership sells them. Cedar Rapids Toyota and the professionalism of Alan Makabi and Technology in cars changes over the years and so does the way a dealership sells them. Cedar Rapids Toyota and the professionalism of Alan Makabi and Wendy Nelson transformed the negative image and trepidation I had about purchasing a car. I wanted technology, safety, dependability, and affordability. Alan and Wendy demonstrated sterling qualities and were focused on helping me attain everything I wanted. Research and luck brought me to the door of the dealership. Honesty and integrity held me there. I could not be happier with the experience and the car that I purchased. More

Thanks to all of them! More
