Kris opened DLR in 2004 with the idea that the car business did not have to be business as usual. Built on 10 core principles you can still find written on his wall, by 2008 DLR had become the 2nd highest volume Internet Auction Retailer in the Nation. When not at work Kris is active in his local Church and enjoys spending time with his wife, Victoria and 2 children, Asher & Beckett. Kris Gaerlan GM….“What really drives this place is great people. Great employees make great businesses. It is just that simple" DLR Core Principles • Be honest • Be fair • Be valuable • Be trustworthy • Be willing to work for it • Do what you say you are going to do (say you will do something) • GOLDEN RULE • Treat coworkers and customers with the same regard • Act as if your family/children were watching you • Don’t dodge the question

I was dreading the car buying process but Julian and Dallas Lease Returns made the process so easy. There was no pressure at all. Everyone there was nice and helpful and service oriented. The financing Dallas Lease Returns made the process so easy. There was no pressure at all. Everyone there was nice and helpful and service oriented. The financing was easy and transparent. Julian was very responsive and helpful. He was also very patient. I was having trouble settling on what I wanted and no one was in a rush for me to close the deal. Julian never tried to persuade me but rather just helped to inform me and he was very knowledgeable. I found the perfect car for me and I am so happy with my purchase. In two years when my son is 16 Dallas Lease Returns is where I will go for his first car. I highly recommend Julian and everyone at this dealership. More

Blanca was a wonderful help in purchasing my 2021 Macan in February of ‘25. She was responsive without applying too much pressure. The car was in fantastic condition. The break light came on during test dr in February of ‘25. She was responsive without applying too much pressure. The car was in fantastic condition. The break light came on during test drive revealing a standard wear and tear issue and she and the manager with Dallas Lease Returns were very accommodating in making sure the needed repair was handled prior to purchase. I am a very satisfied customer and will send anyone i know looking for a car to see Blanca. More

This group especially Bobby went beyond any normal automobile sales. They said they go the extra mile for the customer and they did. They spent much time and more money to make sure the automobile I p automobile sales. They said they go the extra mile for the customer and they did. They spent much time and more money to make sure the automobile I purchased was in top shape! Bobby stayed in constant contact with us, phoned to see how we were doing, and anything we had concerns about he fixed. Wow! What a great person to buy a car from. The manager Chris, was also assuring that their dealership didn't just sell cars. It was selling a relationship and honesty as well, I am positive that this will not be the last car I buy from them. I've never met a dealership like these guys! Bobby, thank you for all the hard work you did to make sure we were satisfied and happy with the car. Other dealerships could learn from you guys. You raised the mark in my book.Bill Dasch More
