Fast, friendly service! Eric was a pleasure to work with in taking care of an insurance claim for my damaged truck bed topper for my 2007 Ford F150. The new topper was delivered and installed the very next day! It looks great...a lot better than the one I had on there!!! I highly recommend Leer Truck Accessories of Conyers for all your truck accessory needs!
I understand now why LEER has such high reviews. Blake and Justin create an environment that is completely stress free. Their knowledge and communication skills are top notch. My trailer hitch install was complete in less than an hour. Make the call, you won't be disappointed!!
Great team great work highly recommend!
Everyone was professional and courteous.. It was a very pleasant experience. I am very impressed with my treatment and the product and won’t hesitate to return. Highly recommend.
This place is the best, customer service is exceptional, they install steps for my denali , twenty five hundred h d, they have installed rock lights on my truck, i am very happy with this company.
Wonderful people to work with. I have had both a Tono cover and mudflaps installed. They even helped finish up a taillight installation that I almost completed. These are the best people that I know to go get anything for your truck. I would recommend them highly!
Called the night before for a repair on the trailer. They were there at the exact time they said they would be and was very quick with the service. The technicians were very kind and polite, they even explained some parts and how they worked. Will definitely be back if i have any issues in the future when in the area.
Good job done. Friendly and fast. What else could I ask for.
I recommend for anyone needing upgrades to their vehicle. I was in and out in an hour for my lightning installation. I'll be back.
Great customer service and great work on my truck. Kim and the team were exceptional every visit

I purchased a roll up cover that came damaged from the factory. Jim was able to kindly replace my broken part with another one. Exceptional customer service.
Ordered a half cover for the bed of my F-250. The cover arrived the next morning. Appointment to install so I could watch it being completed, so I can remove later. The young man that sold me the cover as well as installed the cover was absolutely great. He explained everything patiently with excellent communication skills and instruction. This was a very pleasant experience THANKS!
