Know what they'll charge —
before they charge it.
Know what your leasing company will charge you before they charge it. We inspect your car against their own wear-and-tear guide — not our opinion, their rules — and hand you the numbers in writing.
The dealer does not own your leased car. The finance company does. The counter where you return it cannot forgive a single charge — the bank's guide, the bank's inspector and the bank's invoice decide. So we read the bank's rules, and your contract, before we quote you anything.
One charge no inspection can remove: the disposition fee written into your lease contract — most brands start at $300+. It is in your report from day one, so nothing at that counter is a surprise. What this program takes to zero is the avoidable wear-and-tear bill.
The inspection,
against their ruler.
Photo, PDF or email — before anything else. We read your contract: the leasing company on it, the wear-and-tear guide it invokes, its tire rule, your mileage allowance and the per-mile charge, the turn-in fee and your return date. One standard reading, the same for every client, filed with your car.
Tires measured at the lowest point of the tread. Wheels, paint, scratches and dents checked with the size tests your leasing company uses. Glass, interior, warning lights, missing keys and equipment, and your mileage against your allowance.
What they will likely charge, item by item. What we fix first, at our written price. And what is cheaper to leave alone and pay. If a repair costs more than their charge, we tell you to pay their charge.
What can be done the same day is done the same day. The rest is planned with you and finished two to three weeks before your return date — never in a last-minute rush.
Start early.
Return calm.
A lease return runs on a plan, not on panic. The industry rhythm is simple: the guides and the official free pre-inspection open up about 90 days before your lease ends. Our inspection belongs at 60 days out — early enough to price every item, order tires and parts, and finish the corrections two to three weeks before you hand back the keys. A car that arrives two days before its return date with body damage is a stress nobody needs: we will always inspect it and tell you the truth, but paint and body work take the time they take. Start at 60 days and none of it is a surprise.

Four tires.
Four different rulebooks.
Tires are the number one lease-return charge — and the rule nobody agrees on. Almost every leasing company demands at least 4/32 of an inch of tread, measured at the lowest point, with no sidewall damage, no plugs and no exposed cords. A car that came on run-flat tires must go back on run-flat tires. But on brands, every finance company writes its own rule:
BMW Financial Services — on paper, your tires must match the original equipment: size, type, speed rating, run-flat — and brand. We fit what your car was delivered on.
Chrysler Capital (many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram leases) — the guide says it plainly: tire type, size and brand must match. Non-matching brands are listed as excess wear.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services — equivalence is the test: same type, size, load and speed rating as the original. The two tires on each axle must be the same brand and model as each other — and on 4MATIC cars, all four must be one brand.
Land Rover / Jaguar Financial — all four tires must match each other and be of comparable quality to the original equipment. The brand itself is not dictated; the matching is.
GM Financial — the clearest rule in the industry: the manufacturer's size and speed rating, regardless of tire brand.
Audi, Porsche, Ford Credit, Stellantis Financial Services, Maserati Capital — publish no clear brand rule at all. Silence is not permission: for these, we read your own contract and default to factory-equivalent tires, so nobody hands you a bill for a promise we made.
No law in the United States or Florida dictates a tire brand — your lease contract does, or it does not. That is why step one of this program is reading it.
The honest
split.
Every item on the report lands in one of two columns. Typical reported lease-end charges are shown for scale — they are what drivers report paying the leasing companies, not our prices. Our price for anything we fix is written on your report before we touch the car.
- Tires below 4/32″ — leasing companies typically charge $200–$300+ per tire; the right tire, new or quality used, costs less fitted here.
- Dents with the paint intact — paintless dent repair typically runs $75–$150+ against reported lessor charges of $150–$400+ per panel.
- Curb-rashed or bent wheels — a new luxury wheel runs $800+ (some run into the thousands), and repairing one starts at $250+. The leasing company charges its price, not yours.
- Windshield chips — repair typically $50–$150+, often covered by insurance, before a chip becomes a replacement charge.
- Stains and odors — a professional detail, typically $100–$200+, against permanent-stain charges.
- Warning lights and due factory maintenance — chargeable the moment they see them; handled here, with records.
- Excess mileage — cannot be repaired. Typically $0.15–$0.20+ per mile on mainstream brands, $0.25–$0.30+ on luxury brands. We do the math with you; buying the car is sometimes the cheaper door.
- Turn-in (disposition) fee — typically starting at $300+, depending on the brand; most finance companies waive it if you lease or buy another car with them.
- A missing key fob — there is no $200 dealer key on a modern car: dealer keys start at $500+++, some reach $2,000+ — and the crystal key fitted to some Aston Martins costs more still, and chips if you drop it — and on an Alfa Romeo the key, the fob and the programming together run close to $1,000, and a Fiat key can take a month or more just to arrive. Find the second key first; we will remind you to look.
- Damage inside your brand's allowance — a scratch that passes your leasing company's own size test is not chargeable at all. Repairing it would waste your money, and we will tell you so.
Not the dealer’s.
The bank’s.
Every brand built its own bank to earn the financing: BMW Financial Services, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, Toyota Financial Services and the rest. The dealer is the storefront where you signed and where you return the car — the owner is the finance company, and the final invoice comes from them, typically 30 days to six weeks after you hand back the keys. That is why this program never works from what a dealer says. It works from your contract and your finance company's published guide — the same documents their inspector works from.
