I bought a CRV HONDA it's all good there,but apparently someone tagged my info on to another vehicle and it happened as soon as I purchased the car there at DALLAS LEASE RETURNS IN 2022. I was told that it someone tagged my info on to another vehicle and it happened as soon as I purchased the car there at DALLAS LEASE RETURNS IN 2022. I was told that it would be taken care of. Now several months later It is happening again,supposedly I own a car from Huffins with a PAPER TAG that expires in September! And NTTA is charging me 268 dollars year to date and is adding up! I would like to have someone investigate which Employee maybe be TAGGING MY INFORMATION TO OTHER VEHICLES! Now I will need to provide proof that I only own the Honda CRV! Has this happened to anyone else?! More

Charlie was a breath of fresh air as soon as we walked in the door. He let my wife sit in about 30 different cars, without any pressure of buying. Charlie and the DLR team are very attentive, but also let yo the door. He let my wife sit in about 30 different cars, without any pressure of buying. Charlie and the DLR team are very attentive, but also let you shop around the indoor lot and not act like a 3rd wheel. Don’t forget to grab a bag of fresh popped popcorn while you are shopping. After this experience, I will only buy my cars from Charlie down at DLR!!! More
