 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone from the customer services team to the driver who picked up and delivered the car back were highly professional, friendly and accommodating. They made sure the car was ready to meet the MOT deadline and went out of their way to get tyre specs we needed to arrange a replacement.
The repair job was excellent.
I would highly recommend DC Bodyworx.

Frequently Asked Questions - End of lease repairs

How long before my lease return should I book an inspection?

We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks before your return date to allow time for any necessary repairs.

Will the repairs be noticeable?

Our expert technicians use advanced techniques to ensure repairs blend seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing finish.

Can you work with any lease company?

Yes, we’re familiar with the standards of all major UK leasing companies and can tailor our repairs to meet their specific requirements.

What's fair wear and tear on a lease car?

You need to check your lease agreement. Dents up to 10mm long (no more than two per panel) and scratches up to 25mm are normally acceptable, no burns, tears or rips on interior upholstery, no dents or holes in the wheels.

Should I fix a dent in my leased car?

Yes, if it not deemed as fair wear and tear in your lease agreement, you will have to pay for the damages and you can be sure that fixing it through the leasing company will be far more expensive than at a local garage.
