My name is Wendy Nelson. I grew up in a small town, Deep River that has a population of about the size of our dealership. I graduated from High school in Montezuma. I then attended and graduated from the U of I. After I graduated I got a job selling cars at a dealership in Iowa City. Low and behold I ended up here at Cedar Rapids Toyota doing financing. It is hard to believe that I have worked for such a great co now for so many years. Not sure where all that time has gone. It doesn’t seem possible. The best part about going to work every day is that I truly love what I do and the people that I get to work with. Every customer is different and has different needs.

I was extremely happy to find that my original salesperson was still with the dealership when I was ready to trade and he made the experience just as great this time! More

Upon my arrival Alan greeted me and immediately took me to the vehicle began a through familiarization and set-up of the vehicle applications, the vehicle was superbly prepped. Next with Wendy, financing was fast and efficient, the paperwork was ready to go and thorough. Overall, my experience at Cedar Rapids was outstanding, top notch professional service, from the initial contact to the follow up text from Alan that I had made it home.

Fantastic experience! I had been to several dealerships in town and can honestly say I had the best experience at Toyota from the moment I walked on the lot! I never felt p I had been to several dealerships in town and can honestly say I had the best experience at Toyota from the moment I walked on the lot! I never felt pressured, and felt that Spencer was extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect car. He was knowledgeable and really took the time explaining the features and positives for the cars I was looking at. When it came time to finalize the purchase, Wendy was so fun and easy to work with. She made the sometimes difficult and confusing part of buying a car enjoyable! More

Most fun you can have buying a car! Buying or leasing a car is not necessarily a fun thing to do. You are spending a bunch of bucks and counting on expert advice in an uncommon circumst Buying or leasing a car is not necessarily a fun thing to do. You are spending a bunch of bucks and counting on expert advice in an uncommon circumstance, with the expectation of selecting a vehicle that will serve you well for several years, at least. There can be tension, excitement, a degree of uncertainty as to whether you are getting the best deal possible, and a level of trust that must be placed in the persons handling the details of the purchase. We just leased our third Toyota in nine years from Cedar Rapids Toyota and in all three deals we worked with Alan Makabi. Alan is experienced, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and he anticipated questions tailoring the experience to fit our needs. We will go back to C.R. Toyota again for our next lease and we hope that Alan will still be there to help us with the experience. More
