Below, you'll find some tips to make the end of your lease an easier and smoother transition.
Lease Pre-Return Inspection
The first step to ensuring your lease return process goes as planned is to have our professional technicians perform a complimentary Pre-Return Inspection. This thorough look-over of your vehicle will eliminate any surprises on your final bill and give you a concrete idea of the condition of your ride. It's ideal to schedule this inspection a few months before the end of your lease to allow time for repairs or considering other options if your car has excessive wear or mileage.
Here are some of the other general benefits of letting us perform a Lease Pre-Return Inspection at our state-of-the-art Service Center:
- Flexible scheduling options
- Conveniently located right off Bruton Smith Blvd. in Concord
- Avoids surprise excess wear charges on your final bill
- Free comprehensive assessment of your vehicle's condition
- Opportunity to visit our dealership to discuss options before lease-end
Helping You Understand Excess Mileage and Wear
Allotted Mileage Cap
When you first started your lease agreement, you and the finance team determined a mileage limit that you're required to stay within throughout your lease. It's helpful to know the specific mileage limit for your specific lease so that you can stay under this cap until the end of your agreement. By knowing how many miles you have to work with, it will be easier for you to plan road trips and long-distance outings without going above the allotted mileage cap in your lease.
If you're curious what the mileage cap is for your particular lease agreement, be sure to look over your paperwork or give our finance team a call. Within your lease agreement, you'll also find details regarding the excess mileage charge should you exceed this cap by the end of your term. All these details will help you stay informed until the end of your lease.
Excess Wear
It's also beneficial to know the differences between normal wear and excess wear. Normal wear is expected and accounted for in your lease agreement. However, excess wear is your responsibility and could lead to additional charges on your final bill at the end of your lease agreement. To help you gauge your vehicle's wear, here's a guide between normal and excess wear:
Normal Wear: Normal, daily wear of your vehicle does not result in extra charges. This often includes:
- Minor and expected imperfections over time
- A few small dents or dings on the doors
- Minor paint chips or scratches
- Tire tread worn to no less than 4/32 inch
Excess Wear: Wear that exceeds the normal or ordinary imperfections, often requiring repairs to avoid extra charges on your final bill. This often includes:
- Abuse, neglect, or poor maintenance
- Damage or physical alterations
- Use of inferior parts or materials for repairs
