Sam Santiago was born and raised in the New Jersey shore area and attended Monmouth University as a Finance major. During that time, he started in the hotel business with a major hotel chain. He found that hospitality was a great fit for him so he stayed in the business after school as well. He moved to the Raleigh area in 2005. He worked several years with Hilton Hotels, where he met his future wife! Since then, he has become a family man and has two high energy boys! They have settled in the East Clayton area of Johnston County. Sam wanted a change from hotel management and to get sales experience, which is when he decided joining the Leith Auto Group sounded perfect! Sam's hobbies include hunting, golf, bowling, softball, weightlifting and most importantly, doing things his sons enjoy doing. Sam speaks Spanish as well and comes from a family of Puerto Rican descent, where he has visited many times.

I have purchase from Leith two other times, same great experience. More

Great car buying experience First let me start by saying I am absolutely in love with my new CRV. My experience with Leith Honda was nothing short of spectacular. Going into the First let me start by saying I am absolutely in love with my new CRV. My experience with Leith Honda was nothing short of spectacular. Going into the dealership I was so nervous because in the past I have had some very bad experiences with car dealerships. Sam Santiago helped me and he found exactly what I was looking for in a vehicle. Sam took the time to explain every feature of the car to me and worked tirelessly to get me into the vehicle. Jacky in finance was great. I will definitely recommend my family, friends, and any stranger on the street to this dealership More

Customer for life Like most people, I was a bit anxious with buying a new car. There were so many options and let’s be honest, nobody wants to spend an arm and a leg. M Like most people, I was a bit anxious with buying a new car. There were so many options and let’s be honest, nobody wants to spend an arm and a leg. My husband and I went to a few dealerships and I never got the warm and fuzzy feeling, in fact I was extremely overwhelmed. However, when we arrived at Leith Honda we met with Sam, he was amazing. I never felt like I was being pushed into a sale, he was patient and very friendly. I’d like to say the price on the CRV was what made me agree to purchase the vehicle, but I really think it was Sam’s sincere honesty and willingness to review all of the options with me. I would recommend him to anyone; it didn’t feel like a sales experience at all, I felt like I was sitting in an office talking about a car with a friend. Thank you so much Sam, you’ve got a customer for life! More

Great Service I went last week to buy my new Honda Accord 17, both Allison and Sam were great all along my car buying process. Especially Allison was really helpful I went last week to buy my new Honda Accord 17, both Allison and Sam were great all along my car buying process. Especially Allison was really helpful from the moment I entered the "Leith Honda" to me getting my car. I would recommend everyone to go meet Allison Davis if they are buying car from Leith Honda. She will make you car buying process and easy breeze. Sam was also great on the day I was picking up my car helped me with paperwork & features of my new car. Overall, Great Place, Environment and Customer Service More
