End of Lease Inspection
Avoid unexpected 'wear and tear' fees. We inspect your leased vehicle to identify potential charges before you return it to the dealership. By appointment only for dedicated expert analysis to help you save money.
Returning a leased vehicle in Gilbert, AZ, often brings unexpected repair charges due to wear and tear that may exceed your lease agreement’s limits. At Apex Automotive, we understand how stressful this can be, which is why we offer a comprehensive end-of-lease inspection service designed to help you identify and address potential issues early. Led personally by David Jr., your trusted mechanic, this service ensures you have clear, honest insights into your vehicle’s condition before returning it, helping you avoid costly surprises.
David Jr.’s inspection goes beyond a basic check. He conducts a thorough evaluation of your vehicle’s exterior, interior, tires, brakes, suspension, and mechanical systems, all tailored specifically to the challenges posed by Arizona’s harsh desert environment. We pay special attention to sun damage, which can cause fading, cracking, and brittleness in paint, hoses, belts, and interior components. We also look for signs of desert dust accumulation and heat-related stress, which can accelerate wear on critical parts.
The inspection includes a detailed assessment of dents, scratches, windshield chips, and upholstery condition, all benchmarked against common lease return standards. Brake pad thickness and tire tread depth are carefully measured to determine if replacements are necessary before lease return. Mechanically, David Jr. checks fluid levels, engine performance, and suspension integrity to uncover any hidden or developing problems that could result in unexpected charges.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report outlining any potential lease return fees and recommended repairs. This transparency empowers you to make informed decisions—whether that means scheduling repairs with us, seeking second opinions, or negotiating with your leasing company.
At Apex Automotive, we operate by appointment only to provide you with David Jr.’s undivided attention and expert analysis. Our diagnostic-first, no-pressure approach means we only recommend what’s necessary, avoiding unnecessary parts replacements or repairs. Scheduling your end-of-lease inspection well in advance gives you peace of mind and confidence when returning your leased vehicle in Gilbert, AZ.
