What Damage Should You Repair Before a Lease Return?
Not every mark on a leased vehicle necessarily requires repair. However, damage beyond normal wear and tear may be evaluated during the final vehicle inspection. Common concerns include:
Dents and Dings
Door dings, creases, and other dents may be noticeable during a lease inspection and can often be repaired before turn-in. Learn more about our dent repair services.
Scratches and Paint Damage
Deep scratches, paint chips, scuffs, and damaged clear coat may require paint repair and refinishing.
Bumper Damage
Scratches, gouges, cracks, and minor impact damage to a bumper may be repairable before the vehicle is returned. Visit our bumper repair page.
Body Panel Damage
Damage to doors, fenders, quarter panels, and other exterior panels may require conventional auto body repair.
Minor Collision Damage
If the leased vehicle has been involved in an accident, VMS can inspect the affected area and recommend appropriate collision repair.
When Should You Schedule Lease Return Reconditioning?
The best time to have your leased vehicle inspected is before the final lease turn-in appointment. Scheduling early gives you time to identify damage, review repair options, approve any work you want completed, and inspect the finished vehicle without rushing.
You may want to schedule a lease return inspection if:
- Your lease is ending soon.
- Your vehicle has dents or door dings.
- The bumper has scratches, scuffs, or cracks.
- The paint has chips or deep scratches.
- The vehicle has minor collision damage.
- You are unsure whether visible damage may exceed normal wear and tear.
Planning ahead can make the lease-return process easier and give you more control over how vehicle damage is addressed before turn-in.
