GM Financial Lease - how is damage handled?

[Atrus]

I brought my guy a dented quarter panel right at the fender lip - they had to smooth it and paint it, cost me $350 and you couldn't even tell. Turned it in, no charge. I brought him a scraped fascia that was cracked and needed paint - $250, looked perfect.

Cool - definitely will call him today!

For what it's worth, this is the damage...

Wow. Yea, that might be a little more than he normally does. Worth a try, though. Tell him it is for a lease turn in and he might be able to make it "Close Enough".

Yeah, it's no bueno.

You got it! Yellow pole in a Tim Horton's drive-thru.

For what its worth 1-1500k is fair for the amount of damages.

I agree. Door damage, rear quarter damage and wheel well trim damage. Bummer!

[Atrus]

Yeah, no good. I'll just have to do what's needed to get this thing turned in. We've picked up a 2004 Suburban as a replacement kid-hauler, so while I hope it's kept as nice as it is, if anything should happen it wouldn't be nearly as painful.

Get a quote for pdr. Get a pre turn in inspection, they will send an estimated cost to turn in the vehicle as is after GM reviews the pictures. I turned in 2 gm leases in the last year with damage that would have been 2-3x more to get fixed myself than gm charged at turn in. Just get the lease inspection early enough to give you options.

Cool, I was worried that I'd be tipping them off that there could be an issue. I was pleasantly surprised at what they wanted to charge me for the minor damage on the Acadia, that I was able to convince them wasn't an issue.
