Leasing Returnwithout workshop visits.
We prepare your car before the return, with a guarantee on every diminished value we fix.
The problem with returning a leased car
In the end you often pay for damage you never expected.
A low monthly lease rate sounds like a great deal. At the return comes the bill for the so-called diminished value. And it often hits hard.
What is diminished value?
At the return the dealership assesses every damage that goes beyond normal signs of use: scratches, dents, damaged rims. You are asked to pay for this loss in value, the diminished value.
Why does it catch so many off guard?
Hardly anyone knows when signing the contract that a four-figure amount can become due again at the end of the term. And once the car is at the dealership, it is usually too late.
