Returning a Leased Car: What to Expect at the Dealership

Overall, the lease return process is very simple! If you leased your Chevrolet from another dealership in the Kersey area, you can usually still end the lease at Spitzer Chevrolet St Marys. Regardless of where you originally leased your vehicle, here’s what to expect when returning it to our dealership:

1. You’ll drive your vehicle to our dealership and let us know you’re returning a lease. 
2. One of our leasing specialists will get right to work on the lease-end inspection, checking for damage, overall condition, and other items. 
3. We’ll check the odometer for overage. You may need to pay penalty fees if you exceed the mileage limit in your lease contract or if the vehicle has excessive wear and tear.
4. Your lease return is complete after finishing the inspection and settling any payments!

You can talk to our finance team about buying out a lease if you like the vehicle a lot. You can also start a new lease right away, or head home to Ridgway to think about what you want to do next!
