Lease Return Dent Repair Las Vegas

Lease turn-in inspections are thorough — dealers charge for every dent, ding, and scratch that exceeds their “normal wear” guidelines, and those charges can run several hundred dollars per panel. A PDR repair costs a fraction of the dealer’s damage fee and removes the dent completely before the inspector ever sees it.

What We Fix Before Your Lease Return

• Door dings from parking lots and tight spaces
• Small hood and roof dents from hail or debris
• Quarter panel dents from minor contact
• Multiple small dents across panels from everyday use
• Any paintless-repairable damage that would appear on a lease inspection report

The Math on Lease Return PDR

Dealers typically charge $150 to $400 per dent at turn-in. A PDR repair for the same dent runs $75 to $150. Getting three dents repaired before your return appointment typically saves $300 to $750 — more than enough to cover the cost of the repair visits with money left over.

We offer pre-return inspections where we walk through the vehicle with you, identify every dent that would likely be flagged, and quote a package price. Most customers recover three to four times the cost of the repair in avoided dealer charges.

What Affects the Price

Every vehicle and dent is different, so we quote after seeing photos. These are the main factors:

• Number of dents and their size
• Whether the dents exceed the lease wear-and-tear allowance
• Time left before the return inspection
• Panels affected and access to them

When Paintless Repair Is Not the Right Fix

Dents with cracked paint, or damage beyond normal wear and tear, may need a body shop. Check your lease inspection guidelines, and we will tell you what can be fixed paintlessly.

Before and After

Lease Returns: What Drivers Say

Lease-return questions in Las Vegas threads usually come down to cost. Dents often cost less to fix than a typical insurance deductible, so insurance isn’t the answer; the comparison is PDR now versus the lease company’s charge later. Posters warn against two shortcuts: bargain repairs with no examples of previous work, and roadside offers to “fix it right now.” Either can leave marks an inspector will spot.

Book a technician with visible before-and-after work and leave time for a follow-up before your inspection date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does PDR cost versus what a dealer charges?

PDR typically costs $75 to $150 per dent. Dealers charge $150 to $400 per dent on a lease return inspection, using their own pricing schedule. For most vehicles with a few dents, PDR before turn-in saves several hundred dollars net after paying for the repairs.

When should I get PDR before my lease return?

Schedule the repair at least one week before your return date. This gives time to address any dents that need a second pass, and ensures the vehicle looks its best for the inspection. Waiting until the day before is possible but not ideal for larger repairs.

Will the dealer notice the repairs were done?

No. PDR returns the metal to its factory shape without touching the paint. There is no evidence of repair — no paint mismatch, no filler lines, no texture difference. The panel looks exactly as it did from the factory.

How soon before return should I repair dents?

Ideally two to three weeks before, so you have time for any follow-up. We often repair within days.

Will fixing dents avoid excess wear charges?

Repairing eligible dents before inspection can reduce or remove the charges leasing companies apply.

Can you repair several dents in one visit?

Yes. We quote the whole vehicle together and fix everything in one visit when possible.
