End-of-Lease Inspection | VW Passat Video

This is a video which we supply as part of our lease return inspections. Along with a written report, this itemizes all the damage on a car which could potentially incur a recharge.

The next step in the process is to put together a plan, in which we form a plan to spend the least money to fix enough of the damage to get the car under the recharge threshold. The mistake most people make, aside from just sending a car back and accepting the recharges, is spending too much money repairing their car. You don't have to repair everything, you just need to repair enough to make the car acceptable. Having the dents removed can be very cost-effective with paintless dent removal, and can polishing out scratches. If this car were to go back as it is, there is a chance they would charge for repair-and-repaint on some of these body panel, which would be far more expensive than smart repairs. This is why it pays to get an end of lease inspection and advice from professionals before returning your lease car.
