End of Lease
When your vehicle is due to be returned at the end of a lease or finance agreement, it is important to ensure it meets the required inspection standards. Even small dents, scratches, or scuffs can result in unexpected and costly penalties.
At our Colne repair centre, we can inspect your vehicle in advance and identify any issues that may be flagged during the return inspection. We then carry out the necessary paintwork or minor body repairs to help reduce or avoid end of lease charges.
Our team provides honest advice and cost effective repair solutions, focusing only on what is needed to bring your vehicle up to an acceptable standard.
This allows you to hand your vehicle back in excellent condition, with confidence and complete peace of mind.

FAQs
What type of damage can cause end of lease charges? Common issues include dents, scratches, scuffed bumpers, kerbed wheels, and paint damage that falls outside fair wear and tear guidelines.
Is it worth repairing damage before returning a leased vehicle? In many cases, yes. Repairing minor damage beforehand is often far more cost effective than the charges applied by leasing companies.
Do you only carry out minor repairs? We focus primarily on paintwork and minor body repairs, but we will always advise honestly if a repair is not cost effective.
Can you inspect my vehicle before the lease ends? Yes. We recommend an inspection before your return date so there is enough time to complete any necessary repairs.
