Leif Johnson Customer Letter: Roel

Published by

Customer Roel was so happy with the customer service at Leif Johnson that he recently sent us a beaming letter of satisfaction! Read what he had to say about us below! “I wanted to share my purchase experience, and let you know what a great job that Ross Brown and Amanda Braun did with my new Ford Escape purchase. I emailed five Ford dealers on Sunday afternoon in search of an Escape SE. All five dealers got back to me, but none of the Internet salesman responded as quickly and effectively as Ross. Unlike the other salesman, Ross carefully read each of my emails and came back with responses that reflected my concerns and requests. Every time I thought I would go with another dealer, Ross would find a way to get back into the mix. He simply would not stop working until he sold me an amazing car at an amazing price. When I showed up at the dealership, part of me was waiting for the other shoe to drop. For a hitch to come …

Vehicle Winter Safety Tips (Yes, even for Texans!)

Published by

Are you ready for colder weather? Sure, it’s Texas so we’re probably safe from blizzards and massive snowstorms. Still, as it starts to get chillier, it’s best to have your car prepared for these fall and winter months. Here are some tips to make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape from October to February and beyond!: Make sure your battery is fully charged.  Your Leif Johnson service technicians will know what to check for and will let you know whether it’s time to replace that battery or not. Replace frayed or cracked belts and have Leif Johnson professionals check to make sure there are no leaks and/or loose hoses. Specially designed tires are often recommended even if snow isn’t commonplace as lower temps can affect rubber that wasn’t designed for the cold. Ask your Leif Johnson service questions and they’ll give you recommendations based on the make and model of vehicle. Be sure to check that your signals, headlamps, tail lamps, fog lamps and other lights are all functioning correctly. If you do have a burned out bulb, Leif Johnson can provide you with …

But they’ll lock the system up as it cannot recognize these adorable little faces.) 3. Don’t answer and receive phone calls on the phone, use hands free.
