Lease Return Repair in Edmonton:
Fix It Before They Bill It

Lease-end inspectors bill damage at the leasing company's rates — and you don't get to negotiate after the inspection. Repairing dings, scratches, and bumper scuffs before the inspection almost always costs less than the charge-back for the same damage. Bring the vehicle in two to four weeks before your return date and we'll fix only what's actually worth fixing.

Lease date looming?

What Inspectors Charge For (and What They Don't)

Every leasing company publishes wear-and-tear guidelines, and they're more forgiving than people fear: small stone chips and light scratches that polish out are normal wear. What gets billed is damage past the threshold — dents bigger than a credit card, scratches through paint, cracked bumpers, curbed wheels. Our assessment sorts your vehicle's damage into 'inspector won't care' and 'inspector will bill you more than our repair' — and we only quote the second list.

The Math, Honestly

A bumper respray at shop rates versus a bumper charge-back at lease rates isn't a close call — charge-backs routinely run double retail repair pricing because you've lost all negotiating leverage. But the reverse is also true: paying us to fix normal wear the inspector would have ignored is wasted money, and we'll tell you when that's what you're asking.

Timing Your Repairs

Two to four weeks before return is the sweet spot: enough time for proper paint work and any parts, no storage hassle. Booked against a hard deadline? Tell us the date — commercial scheduling means we can usually hit it.

Lease Return FAQs

Is it worth fixing anything on a lease return?

Usually some things and not others — that's the entire point of the assessment. Typical outcome: two or three repairs worth doing, several dings worth leaving alone. The assessment is free either way.

Should I tell the leasing company about repairs?

Quality repairs to factory colour are simply the vehicle in good condition — there's nothing to disclose for normal cosmetic work. Repairs are yours to make; that's the same right you exercised all lease long with oil changes.
