Leasing agents WANT you to repair any damages prior to your inspection and lease turn-in date, rather than leaving the repairs up to them, which in turn also saves you hundreds of dollars! You will typically find on leasing agents pre-inspection checklists to “examine possible excessive use and wear on your vehicle and make any necessary repairs prior to lease turn-in.”
You’ve probably driven your leased car for two, maybe three years now, and it’s doubtless the vehicle has gained wear-and-tear throughout your time in it.
It happens, and lease inspectors know this, but they will still get you for a variety of issues, consisting mostly of damage that is either preventable or fixable. Therefore, it’s important that you prepare for an end of lease inspection in the most thorough way possible.
It’s better to be safe than sorry in a lease inspection because it’s the leasing company, not you or an objective third party, that will be determining whether you need to pay or not.
On average, a lease return starts about 90 days before the end of your lease. The leasing company (AKA the “lessor”) contacts you to set up an appointment for inspection. Damage that goes beyond the regular price of repairing wear-and-tear will be paid by you.
We work with the leading leasing agents in the Louisville area and know what they are looking for when it comes to inspection time. 360 Express Collision & Detailing can get you ahead of the game by providing cost effective solutions to any damage that transpired during your lease term.
