Preparing Your Vehicle for End of Lease Return
Returning a lease, contract hire or PCH vehicle can involve more than simply handing back the keys. The vehicle will normally be inspected, and damage beyond acceptable fair wear and tear may result in additional charges.
At Bumps Accident Repair Centre, we can inspect your vehicle before it is returned and identify dents, scratches, bumper damage and other cosmetic issues that may need attention.
This gives you the opportunity to have suitable repairs completed before the vehicle goes back rather than waiting to find out what may be identified during the return inspection.
End of Lease Damage We Can Help With
Every vehicle is different, so the first step is to look at its condition and identify areas that may need attention.
Common end of lease repairs include:
- Minor dents and parking damage
- Scratches and paintwork damage
- Scuffed or damaged bumpers
- Small areas of accident damage
- Cosmetic bodywork damage
- Alloy wheel damage and scuffs
Where appropriate, localised repairs can be used rather than carrying out unnecessary larger repairs.
Wear and Tear or Repairable Damage?
Some deterioration is expected during normal vehicle use. However, there can be a difference between acceptable wear and tear and damage that may be picked up when the vehicle is inspected.
A noticeable dent, deep scratch, damaged bumper or heavily marked wheel may fall outside the expected condition for a returned vehicle.
If you are unsure about a particular mark or area of damage, Bumps can assess it before you decide whether a repair is worthwhile.
Minor Damage Can Make a Big Difference
Small areas of damage can be particularly noticeable when a vehicle is being prepared for return.
A dent around a wheel arch, scratches along a panel or a scuffed bumper may not affect how the vehicle drives, but they can affect its overall condition and presentation.
Our before and after examples show the type of cosmetic damage that can often be repaired without replacing major parts of the vehicle.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Return
The process can be kept straightforward:
- Bring the vehicle to us – We can look over the areas you are concerned about.
- Assess the damage – We identify which areas may benefit from repair.
- Discuss the options – You can decide which repairs you want completed.
- Complete the agreed work – Dents, scratches, bumpers and other suitable damage are repaired.
- Final check – The completed work is checked before the vehicle is returned to you.
There is no reason to carry out work that is not needed. The aim is to concentrate on damage that genuinely warrants attention.
More Than One Area of Damage?
A vehicle approaching the end of its lease may have picked up several small marks over the course of the agreement.
Instead of treating these as completely separate problems, we can assess the vehicle as a whole. A small dent, bumper scuff and paint scratch, for example, can all be considered when deciding what work is appropriate before the vehicle is returned.
Bumps provides dent repair, scratch repair and bumper repair in Swansea, making it easier to deal with several areas of cosmetic damage in one place.
