PDR vs Body Shop Lease Return — Save Fees | Dent Master

Lease return day is stressful. Dealers inspect vehicles with a fine-toothed comb, charging excessive fees for "excess wear and tear." That small door ding you've ignored for years could cost you $300-$500 on your final bill.

The "Excess Wear" Trap

Most lease agreements allow for scratches smaller than a credit card. But dents? Even a dime-sized dent can be classified as chargeable damage. Dealers usually send these cars to a body shop, and they pass that inflated cost directly to you.

Why PDR is the Lease Return Hack

1. Cost: Minor Dent Removal with us often costs less than half of what the dealer will charge you.
2. Speed: We can fix your car in hours. A body shop might keep it for days, forcing you to rent a car or pay for extra lease days.
3. Undetectable: Because we don't paint, there's no risk of "bad color match" that an inspector might flag. Your factory paint remains 100% original.

When Should You Fix It?

We recommend getting a free estimate 2-3 weeks before your lease turn-in date. This gives you plenty of time to schedule a repair. We offer mobile service across Central Florida, including Winter Park and Kissimmee, so we can often fix it right in your driveway.

Don't hand the dealer free money. Fix those dings for a fraction of the penalty cost.
