Lease Return

Many lease companies now charge for damage on returned vehicles, including alloy wheels, this extra cost can range from £50.00 - £300.00.

Wheel Repair it offer a lease return “wear and tear” inspection on your alloy wheels, thus enabling you to not get stung by lease return penalties. We come to you, at work or home, wash wheels and inspect for any damage that we feel will be picked up by lease return inspectors.

A lot of people are under the impression that when cars are returned they are given just a quick look over... and this is often the case! They are then told everything is okay, asked to sign and the car is taken away. This happens to a lot of people and they assume this is the inspection. It isn't! The car is usually collected by a delivery driver who does give the car a quick look over and gets you to sign for the condition just to prove he didn't cause any serious damage.

The actual inspection takes place later, it's carried out by a trained inspector and usually takes between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the condition of the car. Some companies even have them fully inspected twice. This seems to cause a lot of confusion among the lease company's customers, many of whom contact us and say, "They have sent me a large bill for damage, but the man who picked it up inspected it and said it was okay".

The cost for us to come and inspect your alloys is £40.00, fully refundable if any work is carried out. Of course if you already know of any damage on your alloys then its just a case of calling us in to repair your alloys to as new condition, saving you MONEY when the vehicle is returned.
