Many people now opt to lease a car rather than actually buy one. This is great
for those who want a new car every few years or those even those who want a
pricier car at a lower rate. Either way there does come a time where you have to
return your lease. Unlike owning your own car they expect to have their car back
in good resale condition. So, you may want to consider a few things before
returning your lease, especially if you have had a few scuffs and scraps along
the way.
When you lease a vehicle it is expected that there will be some wear on the
vehicle since you will be driving it. However if the lease inspector deems it
excessive wear and tear you could be paying a lot of your own pocket to cover
the damages. Many times dealer's fees for repairs are more than an ours. So, you
may save yourself a lot of money by actually letting us inspect the vehicle
before you return it.
Some things that an inspection will include are things like scratches, dents in
the car, chips in glass, torn upholstery, heavily soiled areas, or excessive
odors. We offer 'paintless dent removal' which is often a fraction in cost of
the ordinary body repair methods but the lease inspectors find acceptable. Also
there is chip repair on the autoglass which is an alternative to glass
replacment. We can help in all areas of concern for a lease return.
So, if you want to save yourself money from the dealer when returning your lease
you should consider letting us inspect it prior to return.
First we will evaluate your vehicle. There are guidelines that are followed for
each type of damage incurred. It gives the standards for normal wear and tear
and then what they consider excessive, which is pretty much anything above
normal wear and tear. We will then present our findings to you. We can recommend
any options for repairing the damages on your lease and also give you pricing.
Whether you choose to have the work done here is completely up to you. However
you should definitely consider this option since it is most likely it will be
the most cost effective.
Also when you return your lease vehicle you will have an accurate idea of what
on your car is considered normal wear and tear and what is considered excessive
wear and tear. That way you will not be fooled into any traps they may try to
set you in. You will know what to expect going in, whether you have fixed the
problems or not. It is always better to have a second opinion especially when it
comes to your hard earned cash. |
