Should I Get Wheel Damage Fixed Before I Return My Leased Vehicle Car Truck?

So you’ve had your car or truck for a few years and it’s time to turn it in. You’ve been over the bodywork with a fine-tooth comb, checking every dent and ding is under the designated length, you’ve had it washed and the inside has been detailed…… and then you’re blindsided with an astronomical bill for repairing that wheel scuff you got whilst parking somewhere two years ago and hadn’t even noticed. What’s up with that?!

Car dealers will usually find any way they possibly can to charge you when you turn in a leased vehicle without buying the car or starting a new lease. It’s just a sad fact in the industry that many vehicle-lessees don’t find out about until it’s too late - they already turned the car in without realizing that a curbed wheel will COST them and the dealership have finished their workup and sent you the final bill. There’s unfortunately no going back at this point. It’s also somewhat maddening that they will often charge you to repair the wheel without actually repairing it - passing that joyful little project on to an unsuspecting new owner. But that’s another matter (grr).

But knowledge is power, and now you know that the dealer will absolutely charge you (way over and above market price) for even a small scuff to a wheel, so you have an opportunity to do something about it before they take your firstborn child and your iPad Pro (or so it feels) in payment for your assorted dents and dings.
