End of Lease Vehicle Repairs

Yes. You are not legally required to use a main dealer for repairs. We carry out all work to BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) standards, which is the exact industry benchmark that lease inspectors use. As long as the repair is professional and invisible (which ours are), they cannot penalise you.

Yes, typically by 30-50%. Leasing companies charge "recharge costs" which often include administrative fees and the price of replacing a panel rather than repairing it. For example, a bumper scuff might cost you £350+ as a penalty; we can usually repair the same damage for half that price or less.

No. Lease contracts allow for "Fair Wear and Tear" based on the age and mileage of the vehicle. We act as your advisor: we will inspect your car and tell you which marks are acceptable (free to leave) and which ones will trigger a fine. We ensure you only pay to fix what is absolutely necessary.

We recommend visiting us 7-14 days before your handover date. This ensures we have time to complete the work and allows the fresh paint or lacquer to fully cure before the inspection. However, we know things get left to the last minute — contact us immediately if you have an urgent deadline, and we will do our best to fit you in.

Yes. Removing vinyl lettering often leaves a "ghost" image where the paint underneath has been protected from the sun. We don't just peel the stickers off; we machine polish the panels to blend the paintwork and remove these outlines, ensuring the van looks uniform and ready for de-fleeting.
