Save Money on Your Lease Returns with PDR

Save Money on Your Lease Return

Outsmart the dealership by choosing paintless dent repair when returning your lease vehicle. When returning your lease vehicle, it's a good idea to choose a professional, five-star rated paintless dent removal company to take out any small dings or dents that you've acquired during the time of your lease. Most dealerships will charge you to conventionally repair the vehicle to remove small dings and dents, whereas a professional pdr company like American Dent Specialists can remove your small dings and dents and hail damage in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost. Don't pay outrageous dealership prices when returning your lease! Take the time to bring it by a professional PDR company, like American Dent Specialists, and have it assessed. We will measure any dents or dings on the vehicle and compared against your lease to find out if they are within the parameters of your lease for normal wear and tear or not. Most leases are written with parameters laying out how big a dent can be, how large a scratch can be, what the condition of the rims needs to be when it's returned.

Recently, we did an appraisal on a lease return. The gentlemen had four dents on his vehicle. We only repaired one of them before he turned it in due to the fact that three of the dents were within the acceptable range for his actual lease with Mercedes. So, there was no reason to pay to have those three repaired when they were only going to charge him for the one that was larger than an inch. It is important to use a professional PDR company when having your lease vehicle appraised. We pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity with our clients. Our reviews online are a great representation of the experience you will have when working with American Dent. Our goal is to repair only the things that are outside of your lease that you will be charged for when you return it.

Nowadays, a lot of companies will actually appraise your vehicle and then give you seven days to rectify anything that they find. So, you can even go have your vehicle inspected for your lease return at the dealership and then bring the inspection to our shop, conveniently located in the City Centre area. We will be happy to go over the lease return inspection with you and repair anything listed within our service range at a fraction of the cost of what a body shop or the dealership would charge. If you do need paint services, we offer those as well. However, paintless dent removal and paint correction are really the first line of defense against paying two or three thousand dollars when you turn in your lease to the dealership for something that could have cost you only a few hundred dollars to repair. This is why choosing a paintless dent repair company, like American Dent Specialists, is the smart choice before you return your lease vehicle.
