Is it worth getting the dents in my lease car repaired before I return it?

In short, Yes. Let us explain why...

When you have a lease car, taking care of it is one of the most important aspects of leasing.

After all, the car isn’t actually yours, so you have to keep it in good condition for when it goes back.

However, we know that keeping your car in top condition is actually harder than it sounds. Accidents happen, as do small bumps and taps. But, these can damage your car, and there may be an occasion where you dent your lease car. This might be your fault or it might not be, regardless, you have a dent in your car.

Upon your lease cars return, it will undergo an thorough inspection by the lease car company. This will usually be done the day the vehicle goes back. The vehicle will be checked for any damage that is outside the BVRLA Fair Wear and Tear Guidelines.

If there is damage that sits outside of these guidelines, then you will be charged. The finance house will repair the car and you will receive an invoice shortly after.

The finance house do not regard price when it comes to getting the car repaired. Therefore, we recommend that you get the car repaired before it goes back. That way, you can avoid a potentially costly repair bill (usually at bodyshop prices!) at the end of your lease.

As you may still get charged by having a poor quality repair discovered during the inspection process it pays to use a good technician.
