Dealer Charges Are Inflated. Here's the Math.
When you return a leased vehicle with dents, the dealer sends it to a body shop and bills you at retail rates. That's not a fair deal. PDR delivers the same result — factory finish, no paint, no filler — at a fraction of the price.
Dealer vs PDR — Real Pricing
Dealer / Body Shop
Premium Dent Repair (PDR)
Example: A typical lease return with 3 door dings and a small fender dent would cost $1,800–$3,000+ at the dealership. The same repairs with PDR: $450–$800. That's real money back in your pocket.
How the Pre-Lease Inspection Works
1. We Walk the Whole Car
We come to your location and do a full walk-around, identifying every dent, ding, and crease that could trigger a charge at turn-in.
2. Full Quote Up Front
You get an itemized quote covering every repair. No surprises. You decide what to fix and what to leave — we give you the information to make that call.
3. Most Repairs Same Day
We typically complete all repairs in a single visit. Come home to a car ready for turn-in — no shop drop-off, no rental car.
Lease Return PDR Pricing
We discount for multiple dents — the more we fix, the better the value.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book before my lease return?
Book 2–4 weeks before your return date. This gives time to complete repairs and leaves buffer if your schedule shifts. Don't wait until the last week — you want this done right, not rushed.
What do dealers charge vs PDR?
Dealers send vehicles to body shops and charge retail rates — typically $450–$700 for a single door ding. PDR fixes the same dent from $195 (first inch), with an identical result: factory finish, original paint preserved. On a car with several dents, the savings can be $1,500–$2,000+.
Can PDR fix everything before a lease return?
PDR fixes the vast majority of dents and door dings. If a dent has cracked the paint or is in a structurally complex area, we will tell you honestly during the inspection — we would rather be upfront than promise something we cannot deliver.
How long does a pre-lease repair visit take?
Most lease return prep is completed in a single visit — anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on the number of dents. We work at your home or workplace, so there is no drop-off required.
