Reviews From Hurricane Harvey Victims

chris on September 15, 2017

Check out what our clients in Houston had to say about their experience with us after Hurricane Harvey

“Consistently Excellent!”

– Cap’n Rick

“My original leased vehicle with D&M became a victim of Hurricane Harvey and was totalled by my insurance. I contacted my D&M agent, Lee Bowles and informed him of the situation and my specs for a replacement. By the next morning, Lee had sent me photos of a perfect replacement vehicle, worked out a way to minimize my cash outlay and, ultimately found me TWO additional vehicles which were new and guaranteed flood-free! In a disaster-stricken area with not even rental cars available D&M found me three vehicles which would fit my needs!! As soon as my insurance company had officially processed my claim, my new car was delivered to me at home the same day. During this wait, Lee was in constant contact with me providing updates as discovered. D&M has also incorporated online paperwork which made the whole process that much more streamlined. All things considered, I cannot imagine ANY leasing company that could have been more responsive, provide better customer service and (more importantly) RESULTS, than D&M. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t give them an opportunity to provide your next vehicle!”

“Great Experience “

– Cheeks2106

“Darrel Williams and Troy Killian took great care of us and got us into a vehicle quickly after we lost both to Hurricane Harvey. Love our new car and are excited to start looking for another car. Would definitely recommend this company and Darrel to anyone who is looking for a vehicle!!!”

“Life savers!”

– Anonymous  

“The vehicle I was leasing with D&M was flooded during Harvey and totaled by my insurance company. George and Darrell bent over backwards working tirelessly to get me into a car that I love. My second lease with D&M, and second time they’ve come through big for me!”

All those affected by Hurricane Harvey will have no down payment and make no payments for 90 days. We want to make getting a new car easy for you so that you can focus on everything else.

Read this review from Kyle Willman about his experience with D&M Leasing Houston:

“Great company, excellent service! I contacted the Houston branch in the morning on a Saturday, and had a call back within the hour. Humberto did a fantastic job getting me into the exact type of vehicle I needed. Within 2 hours, he presented a list of vehicles to choose from and had the car in my driveway within 6 hours of initial contact. He came back for the official paperwork, all digital signatures, and we completed the deal! I never even had to get out of my sweat pants!

5 Reasons Why College Students Should Lease

chris on May 8, 2017

As summer draws to an end, it’s time to start preparing for back to school. Besides textbooks, many students’ shopping list includes a reliable vehicle.

1. Low Mileage

If you’re living on campus, chances are you aren’t burning through your mileage. This means you’ll have no problem staying within the lease’s mileage budget. If you visit home often, consider the D&M EZ Lease. D&M Auto Leasing’s most flexible lease, designed to manage higher mileage.

2. Drive Safe

Your parents can feel at ease that their student is driving a reliable new vehicle with advanced safety features such as forward-collision warning, backup cameras, blind-spot warning, and lane-keep assist. D&M Leasing also offers free car loans for emergencies, so you are never stuck without a vehicle.

3. Build Your Credit

Student loans negatively affect your credit score, but leasing actually builds credit, helping reverse the negative effects. Do your future self a favor.

4. Save Money

While leasing means lower monthly payments than buying, D&M’s EZ lease offers the lowest rates of any company, as well as no down payment for 60 days. You’ll appreciate that extra cash to put towards books.

5. No Strings Attached

If you’re not sure you will even need a car next semester, or you change your mind, the EZ lease allows you to end early without termination fees.

Benefits of Car Leasing

chris on April 20, 2017

At D&M Leasing we get asked a lot, “why is leasing a better option for me?”

There are so many benefits to leasing a vehicle. You may think you actually own your car but try skipping a few payments and see what the bank has to say about it. That’s exactly why more people are deciding to lease from D&M Leasing.

  • It’s better to lease a depreciating asset than to own it. We all know that a car’s value drops the second you drive it off the lot. Why own something that is losing its value?
  • We’ve heard people say “I would rather own my car.” But in reality, you don’t own that car until you pay it off. For most of us, it takes several years to pay off that car. Until then, the bank owns it.
  • You can get a new car more frequently. Leasing is a great option for those who love being able to drive a different car and keep up with the latest models. Every few years you can trade in that car and pick out your next one!
  • When you lease a car, you have a warrantee that covers normal wear and tear reports. No need to spend money getting your car fixed.
  • With our EZ Lease you don’t have to put any money down and you won’t make a payment for 60 days!
  • You have a guaranteed trade-in value. When you’re ready for your new car, trading your old one in is no hassle.

It’s because of these reasons and more that people are switching over to leasing. Let D&M Leasing show you why leasing with us is the better option for you! For a full description of what our lease options can do for you, take a look at our EZ Lease.

Why Car Mileage Matters

chris on July 31, 2016

Mileage is a simple, yet effective way of measuring a car’s use. It gives calculated insight on a vehicle’s condition such as when it will need servicing.

There are three main milestones in a car’s life span:

1. The First Few Years

If you’re mileage is in the 30,000 – 40,000 miles range, depending on its care, you can get a great offer whether you sell or trade in. Selling or trading in is ideal around this time because most factory warranties expire around 36,000 miles or 3 years, as the average driver uses approximately 12,000 miles per year. This is also around the time your car will have its first non-routine maintenance visit to the auto shop. Services usually include brakes, tires, and other parts that wear out rather than break. These repairs can easily cost over $350. It’s wise to sell or trade in before the 36,000 mark, especially if it hasn’t had its first major service visit.

2. The Second Visit

By the time your vehicle reaches 60,000 – 70,000 miles, you have either already visited the service station for a second, more expensive reason. If you have not, you will soon. Your vehicle’s tread has significantly worn down by this time, meaning you’ll need new tires, hopefully before a blowout. Tires cost around 50 – 70 dollars per, and most auto shops require you to buy two at a time. Replacing your brakes ranges from $100 to $300 on average. Replacement expenditures vary depending on your vehicle make. You may want to consider selling or trading in before your second servicing visit.

3. The Last Mile

You are in dire need of a new vehicle once you reach 100,000 miles. If not, you’ve probably invested thousands in repairs and replacements, or you will soon. Even though cars are more reliable now, lasting far past 100,000 miles, they still only depreciate. You can start fresh by trading in or selling it yourself, or hold onto it until it’s practically a new vehicle from the insurmountable amount of replacements and repairs you’ve invested in it. The choice is yours, but if you wonder if your car is going to start or not, or you’re worried about breaking down every time you leave the house, it’s time to let your car go.

If you think it may be time to trade in your vehicle, contact D&M Auto Leasing or fill out a form on our New Car Leasing page. We guarantee the best value for your trade-in vehicle.

Is Used Car Leasing a Smart Option?

chris on July 31, 2016

Why Lease a Used Car?

2015 new car sales hit record highs, saturating the market with pre-owned inventory. To make up for the disparity, manufacturers are offering leasing options for gently used cars.  More are opting in on this trend as the need for a pre-owned market increases. Luxury carmakers are also partaking by offering reimbursements for repairs, regardless of warranty, in hopes to sway dealers into leasing used car fleets. Manufacturers may need to lease their gently used models, but why would anyone want to lease a used car?

Used Car Leasing Pros and Cons

Driving a new car every few years is one of the main selling points of leasing, so how could leasing a used vehicle have any benefit? While leasing is commonly associated with new, there are advantages to leasing used. Pre-owned vehicles have already overcome their greatest depreciation hit, decreasing difference between the residual and original value. Unlike new vehicles, you could actually benefit from low residuals through lower monthly payments. Normally, you would want a high residual value, but used vehicles are an exception because their starting price is already lower to being with.

Although it has its advantages, don’t rush into a used car lease just yet. Not all pre-owned vehicles are ideal for leasing. To make things simple, lease a vehicle with a Certified Pre-Owned warranty. You’ll decrease the likelihood of paying out of pocket for repair.

Which Used Cars to Lease?

Lexus has a history of thorough Certified Pre-Owned warranties, as well as a reputation for reliability. If Lexus isn’t your brand, Acura, Porsche, and BMW are also viable options. Non-luxury vehicles that have a reputation for holding their value are Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and GMC.

As the used car leasing market grows, offers will only become more competitive. If you’re considering leasing a used vehicle, check out our EZ Lease option for the lowest rates by any company on a standard new or used car lease.   

6 Signs It’s Time for a New Vehicle

chris on July 31, 2016

Cars are one of worst investments anyone can make considering that they only depreciate in value. Regardless, you still need a reliable vehicle to get you where you need to go, that’s also suitable to your daily life. You may love the car you’re driving now, but the truth is you are going to have to replace it at some point. Paying attention to the following signs can help you determine if it’s time to trade in your vehicle.

1. You Ignore Your Check Engine Light

Your check engine light doesn’t illuminate for no reason. If you’ve already had a mechanic look into this, and there was nothing wrong with the engine, but the light continues to turn on, it’s defeating the purpose of a check engine light. How are you supposed to know when something really is wrong with the engine? This may seem minuscule, but it is one of the first signs that your car is wearing down.

2. Vehicle Inspections Make You Anxious

Annual state inspections are a requirement in Texas, as well as many other states. If you’re having a difficult time bypassing inspection failure, you may want to reconsider your vehicle.

3. You’re Constantly Gassing Up

Although gas prices have been very reasonable lately, frequently filling up your tank is a budget suck. New cars are becoming increasingly fuel-efficient to satisfy consumer demand. As the price of gas also fluctuates, keeping your gas guzzler may not be saving you a significant amount.

4. Your Car Has Broken Down Repeatedly

Breakdowns are highly dangerous, and simply not worth the risk. If your car has broken down more than once, it’s time to put your safety first.

5. You’re Constantly Spending Money on Repairs

Common car replacements include new tires, new brakes, and perhaps a new battery, if you forget to turn your lights off. If you’ve moved past this point and are onto more serious work, consider trading your car in. If the vehicle is still operable, use the vehicle’s value towards a new car and save yourself the burden of future repair costs.

6. You’ve Reached the 100,000 Mile Mark

Congratulations for taking such great care of your car that you’ve reached this point. However, the road ahead is paved with expensive repair, replacement, and breakdowns. Dodge the stress and sell or trade-in your car for a vehicle with lower mileage.

Unsure if it’s time to trade in your vehicle? Trust D&M Leasing to help you make the most informed, financially advantageous decision.
