When you lease a vehicle through Apple Leasing, you're not just working with an Austin leasing company -- you're partnering with a team that represents one of the most decorated automotive leasing organizations in the country. Apple Leasing is proud to be part of D&M Leasing, a multi-year Cars.com award winner recognized for outstanding customer service, transparency and industry leadership across Texas and the nation.

These honors aren't the result of marketing campaigns or self-nominations. They reflect the real experiences of real customers -- the kind of trust that's built one lease at a time over more than five decades in the business. More than 70% of business for D&M Leasing comes from repeat and referral customers, and that loyalty is exactly what these awards recognize.

About the Dealer of the Year Award

The Cars.com Dealer of the Year Award is among the most respected honors in the automotive industry. Recipients are identified by PowerScore™ -- a composite metric that weighs average star rating, total review volume and customer engagement through review response rates on DealerRater.

To qualify, businesses must maintain:

  • A minimum of 25 reviews per calendar year
  • An average star rating of at least 4.0 out of 5.0
  • At least one review posted per quarter during the calendar year

Earning this recognition year after year -- at the national, state and regional level -- reflects a standard of excellence that very few leasing companies anywhere in the country can match.

About the Consumer Satisfaction Award

The Consumer Satisfaction Award is presented to an elite tier of dealers and leasing companies whose combined ratings across DealerRater and Cars.com rank them among the very best in their category. It uses the same rigorous eligibility standards as the Dealer of the Year program, and winning it speaks to a culture of quality that runs through every customer interaction at Apple Leasing.

For Austin drivers, this award is independent confirmation that the experience you'll receive here -- personalized, pressure-free and built entirely around your needs -- consistently ranks among the best available anywhere.

The EZ Lease: Built for a Better Experience

Recognition like this is earned through a genuinely better approach to leasing. Apple Leasing offers the EZ Lease, a consumer-first model that gives Austin drivers flexibility and value that traditional dealerships simply can't match:

  • No money down, no payments for 60 days: We build affordability into every lease from the start.¹
  • New and pre-owned flexibility: Lease a new car, a pre-owned vehicle or browse our lease returns -- all with fully customized terms.
  • No added early termination penalties: Because we title vehicles in our name, we offer the most consumer-friendly lease on the market. While the customer is responsible for any negative balance/equity, there aren't any additional penalties that you'll often receive from traditional car dealerships
  • Extended terms and higher mileage: We more flexible lease terms and mileage allowances that go well beyond what most dealers will accommodate.
  • Concierge delivery: We'll deliver your vehicle to your home or office in Austin. Just reach out and we'll handle the logistics.
