Returning a leased car

Lease companies inspect for damage beyond fair wear and tear, and kerbed or scuffed alloys are a common reason for a charge at handback. Your lease terms set out what counts as acceptable, so read them before you book anything. Our photo quote is free and lists what the repair involves next to the price. That gives you a real figure to set against whatever the lease company might charge, and you decide from there.

Before you hand the car back

Before you hand the car back

A quick walk round the car before you send photos saves a second visit.
  • Look at every wheel, including the inner rim edge on the kerb side
  • Check bumper corners and door edges for scuffs
  • Find your lease terms or inspection guide and note what they count as damage
  • Photograph each mark close up and from a step back

What we fix before handover

Kerb rash and scuffs

Kerb rash and scuffs

Scraped rims are easy for an inspector to spot and photograph. We strip the wheel, repair the edge and refinish it to match. See kerb rash repair.

Corrosion and peeling lacquer

Bubbling or flaking finish makes a well-kept car look neglected. A full alloy wheel refurbishment takes it back to bare metal before the new coat goes on.

Diamond cut damage

A patched diamond cut face shows up badly in daylight. We re-cut it on our CNC lathe in 2 working days. See diamond cut repair.

Scratches and scuffs on the bodywork

Bumper corners and door edges get checked as closely as the wheels. Minor bodywork is usually done within 24 hours. See scratch repair.

Lease and sale questions

How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you have a handover or viewing date. Quotes come back within 24 hours, and most refurbishments take 36 to 48 hours, so a week's notice gives you room.
Will the lease company accept a repaired wheel?
We can't speak for your lease company, so check their terms. We strip each wheel to bare metal and match its existing finish, and we can match 99% of factory colours.
Can you repair a full set?
Yes. Send a photo of each wheel and we'll quote for the set, with any bodywork marks added to the same quote.
How do I pay?
Payment is on completion, by cash, card or bank transfer. See all FAQs
