A well thought out business plan I spent several months looking at Jeeps on line and I have to say buying from a place called leas returns did not give me confidence just by the name. I spent several months looking at Jeeps on line and I have to say buying from a place called leas returns did not give me confidence just by the name. After I researched the affiliations with this company and how it was established ,grown and the concept of service , well I gave it a shot. I'm not a easy sell, but Tony was patient and his boss Kris was helpful and at no time was I ever pressured. Tony made things happen for me through diligence and I never felt he was mis-leading...which is a lot to say for me as a skeptic. Go see these guys,. For me I'd do it again. More

Dallas Lease Returns and Afton Stark are top notch! From our initial email inquiry to driving off the lot with our new car, our experience with Dallas Lease Returns was great! Sales representative Afto From our initial email inquiry to driving off the lot with our new car, our experience with Dallas Lease Returns was great! Sales representative Afton Stark provided excellent service and we highly recommend her. She quickly found an SUV that had almost all of our requirements, called us promptly to recommend it - - she has a very friendly phone voice - - and was knowledgeable about the car and the buying process. A nice touch was that a manager of DLS dropped by her office to introduce himself and visit with us personally. We would definitely return here to shop for our next vehicle! More

Highly Recommend This is now the 2nd vehicle I have purchased though Dallas Lease Returns and I will definitely be coming back when looking for my next. This time I ca This is now the 2nd vehicle I have purchased though Dallas Lease Returns and I will definitely be coming back when looking for my next. This time I called about a particular vehicle and Roel had it ready and waiting for me when I arrived. He let me take it home for the evening to fully experience it before making my decision. I was originally drawn to DLT because of the pricing, but the quality and quantity of vehicles definitely makes it a 1 stop shop. The friendly, professional, obliging, no-pressure approach makes it the best car buying experience I have ever had. Thanks to Roel and the entire staff. I will be sending family and friends your way.
