What Happens at the End of Your Chevy Lease

As the end of your Chevrolet lease arrives, you have several options, and the team at Lupient Chevrolet is dedicated to making the lease-return process stress-free and easy. Because of supply chain issues, we highly recommend making your lease-return choices early, so you can order your next Chevrolet vehicle and have it before the end of your lease agreement.

Chevrolet End of Lease Options

At the close of your lease, you have three options with your Chevrolet or other General Motors vehicle. Your first choice is to return your leased vehicle and lease or buy another Chevrolet, like the Camaro or Corvette sports car or the Silverado or Colorado pickup truck. As a loyal Chevrolet customer, you could receive special lease terms on a new lease from GM Financial.

The second choice is to purchase the vehicle you’ve leased for the last few years. If you’ve exceeded your mileage or have excessive wear and tear on the car, buying it could save you money. The finance team at Lupient Chevrolet can build an auto loan based on the residual value of your vehicle.

Finally, you can return the vehicle. Whether or not we’re the originating dealership, we can accept any Chevrolet lease return and take care of the lease return inspection.

Lease-End Chevrolet Vehicle Inspections

At the end of every lease, GM vehicles need an inspection. Our factory-trained and certified technicians evaluate the wear and tear to determine the car's value. If your leased vehicle has significant damage, GM Financial will send you an end-of-lease bill.

Excessive wear and tear include problems like large scratches and dents on the exterior, permanent stains on the interior upholstery, and overly worn or mismatched tires. Before you return your leased vehicle, you can bring it to any GM dealer like Lupient Chevrolet for a pre-return inspection. You’ll learn what problems could result in extra lease fees, then you can fix them before the final inspection.

When you return your car, truck, or SUV, clean the interior, take your personal items, remove personal data from the tech features, and bring the owner’s manual, keys, and accessories.
