Dent Removal and Bumper Repair Service for Lease Return Consumers

By paying a little money now to remove your dents and get any needed bumper repair, you can end up saving thousands of dollars in potential fees and lease repair costs.

Car Manufacturer Requirements

Overall, most manufacturers want their cars back in resalable condition. This means that they perform a comprehensive walk-around of the vehicle, noting any damage to the undercarriage, bumpers, and body. Even small dings, dents, and scratches will get noted, even if they are not visible to the average consumer.

All car manufacturers and leasing agents have different levels of acceptability when it comes to the body damage on a car. Most of the time, your policy will outline the exact nature of the types of damage you can leave unrepaired; in most cases, you are liable for any damage larger than 1.5 to 2 inches.

Paintless Dent and Plastic Bumper Repair for Lease Customers

Paintless dent repair is preferred over traditional body work in the event of a lease return because of the use of existing materials for repair. When auto paint or filler is used to fix a dent or scratch, there is always the possibility that the color won’t be exact or that the filler will be evident to someone who knows what to look for. Paintless dent removal doesn’t add any materials, so detection is virtually impossible.

Cost is also an important factor in choosing plastic bumper repair. The cost of bumper repair is minimal when compared to traditional body work. Your manufacturer may charge you the cost of the traditional repair; however, when left to your own devices, you could easily opt for the cheaper, easier choice without anyone ever being aware of it.

The Best Dent Removal Choice

While your best bet is to check the fine print on your lease policy to determine when it is time to consider paintless dent repair or plastic bumper repair, it is always a good idea to consult with a dent and bumper repair specialist like Dings Plus of San Jose, CA, prior to returning your leased vehicle.
