Quite honestly the best service I've received from a company.

From the get go, every person I spoke to especially Dee, treated me with respect, followed up, had great energy and didnt hold back for one second. Communication was constant, they phoned me if they needed me, emailed and made sure everything was in order. I had many questions and feel much more aware of how vehicle financing works as they took the opportunity to explain everything in detail and educate me as someone doing financing for the first time.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to finance their vehicle!

Unmatched Service from Motorlease – A Truly Seamless Car Buying Experience

Purchasing my vehicle through Motorlease was one of the smoothest and most reassuring experiences I’ve ever had. From the very first interaction, their team demonstrated professionalism, deep industry knowledge, and a genuine commitment to making the process as effortless as possible.

They handled everything—from submitting my finance application to multiple banks, to conducting thorough vehicle inspections and background checks. I felt completely at ease knowing that both my interests and the seller’s were being carefully protected. Their attention to detail and consistent communication made all the difference.

A special thank you goes to Rohan Apollis, whose support was nothing short of outstanding. Rohan guided me through every step with patience, clarity, and precision. His dedication to ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout the process was truly remarkable. He answered every question, handled all the paperwork, and made what could have been a complex transaction feel completely stress-free.

Thanks to Rohan and the Motorlease team, I’m now driving away in a car I love—with total peace of mind. If you're considering buying or selling a car privately, I wholeheartedly recommend Motorlease. And if you want exceptional service, be sure to ask for Rohan!

Very satisfied with the service Motorlease provided to me. Very transparent and quick to respond to any queries. The only reason for only rating 4 starts is due to some lack in communicating regarding the exact requirements & process that were not noted and which led to some delays and last-minute runarounds. But all-round I would recommend.
