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.

When you find someone who is as easy to work with, polite, respectful and honest it’s rare. Brandon is one of those people. My daughter was also very impressed with his ability to make the entire experience enjoyable, as it should be. If you’re out looking for a vehicle Dallas Lease Returns has a great selection and Brandon is the guy to reach out to. More

This was one of the easiest purchases I've ever made when buying a car. The attentiveness and expertise Brandon DeSoto showed throughout the process and his knowledge of the business speaks volumes about the buying a car. The attentiveness and expertise Brandon DeSoto showed throughout the process and his knowledge of the business speaks volumes about the professionalism of the folks at Dallas Lease Returns. I let Brandon know where I needed to be with my payment and he was able to get it done on the vehicle that I decided I wanted to purchase. He's a genuinely nice guy. He and I met on a Thursday, I checked out a few trucks, decided on one, and he had the financing and paperwork waiting for me to sign on that Saturday. Brandon was unable to be there on Saturday, but Yulian was able to step in and handle everything for him, and the process was very smooth. Yulian is also genuinely nice person. Very pleasant to work with. Fifteen minutes and my wife and I were able to drive off in our new to us 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off Road Sport pickup truck and go get lunch. Great experience and will definitely be recommending friends and family to Dallas Lease Returns for their vehicle needs. More
