Is your lease almost up? Have you had your car checked out recently? Do you want to make sure the dealership won’t send you extra charges for damage you are unaware of?

At Rally Motors, we can ensure that your vehicle is in great shape before you return it to the dealership.

Why Do You Need Lease Return Preparation?

As you may know if you regularly lease your cars, leasing companies can, and will, charge you extra if there is any damage to the vehicle that doesn’t fall under the normal wear and tear category. This is mostly so the dealership can get maximum value for the car when they resell it without having to spend too much money to make it look like it's brand new. They will typically look for damages, neglected general maintenance, and conditions such as:

How Can I Save Money?

At the end of the day, most people would do whatever they can to save money. We know this, and that’s why we want to help you. When it comes to returning your car to the dealership, as you know by now, your car should look as close to perfection as you can get it. If you follow these next few tips, you are sure to return a beautiful looking car and save a ton of money in the process.

Take your vehicle to an auto body shop. If you choose to take your car to a dealership, expect insane fees. At your local auto body shop, the professionals will inspect your car for anything other than normal wear and tear and at a very reasonable price.

Replace what is needed. Damaged bumpers, broken windshields or bald tires are among a list of things that should be repaired on your own rather than at a dealership.

Read the fine print. When you lease your car, it is likely you are given a contract that outlines what is considered normal wear and tear. Things like minor door dings, scratches, and upholstery stains, could fall under that blanket meaning you don’t have to worry about fixing them.

Keep your equipment. If your leased car came with a spare tire, a trunk cover, an extra seatbelt, etc. it’s important to keep all of that stuff and make sure it’s in your car when you return it so you don’t get charged for losing it.

Regular maintenance. In the span of time you have your car, it’s incredibly important to keep your car up to date on things like oil changes and other tests. If for some reason your car experiences any sort of engine failure or damage, the records you have will show the dealership that you are not at fault.

Don’t exceed your mileage. Whatever your mileage allotment is, make sure you never go over it. Every mile over is another cost coming out of your wallet.
