Our History
From a Handshake in Dallas to the Largest in the Nation
Every great company has a story. Ours starts with two dealers, a simple idea, and a customer who changed everything.
1976
The Beginning
1980
A Customer Becomes the Future
1984
New Leadership
Davis and Moritz invited Hernandez to become managing partner with stake in the company. He took over as president and began reshaping D&M around one idea: the customer experience comes first.
2005
Independence & Market
Mike Hernandez bought out Davis and Moritz completely. Now fully in control, he accelerated the company’s growth and invested heavily in technology, talent, and the EZ Lease program that would become a signature offering.
2010s
Transformational Growth
In the wake of the great recession, D&M grew to over $500 million in annual sales, 225+ employees, and became the largest direct-to-consumer car leasing company in the United States. New offices opened in Dallas, Houston, and Austin to serve customers across Texas.
2019
New Headquarters
D&M moved its corporate headquarters from Grand Prairie to the heart of Fort Worth, bringing over 100 employees to the new location at 1400 W 7th Street — a reflection of the company’s growth, investment in its people, and commitment to the community

Four Things That Set Us Apart
We didn’t build the largest leasing company in America by doing things the way everyone else does.
Brand Neutral
We don’t represent any manufacturer. Your agent shops every make and model to find what’s right for you — not what they need to move off the lot.
Your Dedicated Agent
One person handles everything. They know your history, your driving habits, and your preferences. When it’s time to trade, they handle it all.
Delivered to Your Door
No dealership visits. Your car arrives at your home or office, on your schedule. Keys in hand, everything done.
Proactive Management
We don’t wait for you to call. Our agents monitor your vehicle’s value and reach out when market conditions create an opportunity.
Top Workplace
Recognized as One of the Best Places to Work in Texas
D&M has been named a Top Workplace by The Dallas Morning News multiple consecutive years, earning a spot among the Top 100 employers in North Texas. The award isn’t based on management nominations — it comes entirely from anonymous employee surveys measuring engagement, leadership, and day-to-day satisfaction. When your team genuinely enjoys coming to work, that energy shows up in every customer interaction. Our culture isn’t a perk — it’s a competitive advantage.

“Our leasing consultant did what I like someone in her role to do. She did not try to sell me a vehicle. I prefer dealing with people who put relationships first. We established transparency and trust, therefore I took a chance. With service like this, she will have a repeat customer.”
