Lease return detailing in Tampa
We tell you what the inspector actually charges for, fix what is worth fixing, and often tell you to spend less.
The straight answer
The inspector isn’t looking for swirl marks.
Lease inspectors work from a damage guide and a measuring card. They look for dents, tears, cracked glass, curbed wheels and tires under the wear bar. They are not looking at swirls in the sun.
So a full paint correction before a lease return usually spends money nobody will notice. Stains, smells, a torn seat or a curbed wheel are what get charged.

Questions
Lease return questions
When should I ask you to come?
One to two weeks before the inspection. That leaves time to handle anything we find that needs a body shop or a new tire.
Can you fix curb rash on the wheels?
Not on a visit. We can tell you whether it is within the allowance on most lease guides, and point you to wheel repair if it isn’t.
Will you really tell me to skip things?
Yes. If the inspector won’t charge for it, we won’t sell it to you.
