End of Lease Car Repairs in Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Kennedy Coachworks can protect you from hefty leasing company bills.

When returning a leased vehicle, minor cosmetic damage such as scratches, dents, or scuffs can lead to surprisingly high penalty charges from your leasing company.

At Kennedy Coachworks, we specialise in end-of-lease car body repairs, offering a cost-effective way to avoid hefty and unexpected bills. We know what leasing companies will charge for and what can be considered fair wear and tear, ensuring you return your car in the best condition possible and save money.

We know what leasing companies will allow and what they won’t

Leasing companies follow strict guidelines when assessing vehicle condition, and many minor dings or scratches can be classified as “excessive wear and tear,” resulting in expensive repair fees. Our team at Kennedy Coachworks knows exactly what damage leasing companies are likely to charge for and what they’ll let slide under fair wear and tear.

By addressing these issues in advance, we can help you avoid unexpected penalties.

Leasing companies tend to charge premium prices for even the smallest cosmetic blemishes. When you bring your car to Kennedy Coachworks before returning it, we’ll thoroughly inspect the bodywork and identify any areas that the leasing company may charge you for.

With our knowledge of lease return standards and expertise in car body repairs, we can ensure that your car meets the necessary condition, saving you from nasty surprises.

What do leasing companies consider to be fair wear and tear?

Many lease agreements will forgive minor wear and tear, but it’s crucial to know where they draw the line. Small stone chips or light surface scratches may be considered acceptable, but deeper scratches, dents, or noticeable scuffs will likely incur charges.

We’re familiar with the guidelines of the British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association (BVRLA) and know what your lease company will charge for – and what they won’t.
