Avoid Costly Lease Return Charges

Returning a Lease Car with Damaged Wheels? Read This First!

Returning a lease car can be stressful—especially if your alloy wheels are scratched, scuffed, or corroded. Lease companies are known for charging hefty fees for wheel damage, often far more than the actual cost of repair.

But here’s the good news: The Wheel Specialist can fully refurbish your wheels, saving you money and ensuring a smooth lease return.

Why Refurbish Your Wheels Before Returning Your Lease Car?

  • Avoid Excessive Charges – Leasing companies apply premium penalties for wheel damage, far exceeding the cost of professional refurbishment.

What is Considered Wheel Damage?

When returning your lease car, the leasing company will assess for damage beyond ‘fair wear and tear’. This may include:

  • Kerb Scuffs & Scrapes – The most common type of alloy wheel damage.

  • Corrosion & Oxidation – Especially prevalent in diamond-cut alloys.

  • Peeling, Bubbling or Fading Paint – A sign of neglect or poor maintenance.

  • Dents & Buckles – Often caused by potholes or speed bumps.

If your wheels have any of the above, you could face unexpected charges at your lease inspection.
