Wheel curb rash, scratches, interior wear, hazed headlights — fixed before the dealer sees it.
Dealerships charge wear-and-tear fees on lease returns: $200–$500 per scratched panel, $250+ per curb-rashed wheel, $400 for hazed headlights, hundreds for interior staining or odor. A pre-turn-in detail addresses all of those visible issues for less than the dealership would charge for one of them. We've done hundreds of lease returns and we know what dealer inspectors flag.
We know what dealer inspectors look for. We fix the items they'd charge you for.
Aluminum wheel curb-rash sanded down, primed, painted (factory color match), clear-coated. Looks original after treatment.
Visible exterior scratches polished out where polishable. Touch-up paint on deeper scratches. Inspector won't flag what they can't see.
Yellow/hazed headlights restored to clear. Common dealer charge: $400. Our charge: $179 with UV sealant included.
Carpet extraction, leather conditioning, odor neutralization. Removes wear evidence that dealer inspectors photograph and charge for.
We document what we did with before/after photos. Use these to dispute any unfair wear-fee charges the dealer adds anyway.
Standard: 4–5 hours. Heavy wear (multiple curb rashes, deep scratches): 6–8 hours. Same-day turn-in possible.
Three lease-return situations where we save the most.
Tight parking causes curb rashes and paint-transfer dings. Address them before the dealer charges $200+ per panel.
Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz Financial all have aggressive wear-fee policies. Pre-turn-in detail commonly saves $1,000+.
Embedded pet hair, stained seats, odors all flagged. Interior reset alone often saves more than the detail costs.
Four steps. Quote to done in a single appointment.
Three tiers based on wear severity. Quote after we see the vehicle and the lease contract's wear definitions.
Per-wheel curb rash repair: $99/wheel above the included counts. Severe interior damage or odor: separate odor-removal service quoted.
Three reasons lease-return detail returns more than it costs.
We know exactly what dealer inspectors flag. We fix those specific items. Don't spend money on what they don't care about.
Before/after photos and itemized report. Use them to dispute unfair fees if the dealer charges anyway.
