Lease Return Repair FAQs
Everything you need to know about lease return repairs at our Rochdale workshop.
In most cases, yes. Leasing companies typically charge more for the same repair than an independent bodyshop, since their pricing is set by the leasing contract rather than a competitive quote. Getting damage fixed before your inspection is usually the cheaper route, and you get to choose who does the work.
No, unless your lease agreement specifically states otherwise. Most agreements only require the vehicle to meet the required condition at return, not that a specific repairer carries out the work. Check your agreement if you are unsure.
Generally, dents larger than a small coin, scratches that go through the paint, cracked glass, and kerbed alloy wheels are likely to be charged. Light scuffs and small stone chips are usually accepted as fair wear and tear. Exact standards vary by leasing company.
Most single-panel scuffs, scratches and alloy wheel repairs are completed the same day. Multiple areas or combination repairs usually take 1 to 2 days.
Light scuffs and scratches start from around £150. Kerbed alloy wheels start from around £80 each. Combination repairs covering multiple areas start from around £300. Send photos on WhatsApp for an exact price.
