#1 Lease Return Expert
Pristine Car Detailing knows how dealers evaluate lease returns and can save you money when the time comes to return your leased car. The average Lese charge-back is $1500 for minor cosmetic damage. Immaculate detailing is NOT relevant to return or trade-in value. We are true lease return experts – we’ll clean it enough to be presentable!
Dealers mainly charge penalties for returns which have extensive damage, not for normal wear and tear. Charges are based on full replacement cost while mobile repairs are highly acceptable. There’s no need to return an immaculately detailed car. Decent and presentable will do. Before your leased vehicle return inspection, call Pristine Car Detail to discuss our detailing and auto reconditioning services and how we can save you a considerable amount of time and money.
