Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as excess wear on a lease?

Lease companies typically charge for dents larger than a quarter, scratches longer than 4 inches, and any paint damage. Small door dings may or may not be charged depending on the company.

How much do lease-end damage charges cost?

Lease companies typically charge $150-300 per dent, plus administrative fees. Multiple dents can quickly add up to $1,000+. PDR usually costs 40-60% less than these charges.

When should I repair dents before lease return?

Ideally 2-4 weeks before your lease-end inspection. This gives you time to get quotes, schedule repairs, and have a buffer if anything needs adjustment.
