The clock is running out on your current GM lease, and that means it's time to make a decision on your next step. Will you buy your leased vehicle, sign a new lease, or buy a different model? What steps do you have to take to prepare your current leased vehicle for return? Here at Crossroads Automotive Of Corinth Chevrolet, we can help you navigate your GM lease turn in to ensure you get the most out of your lease and that you're quickly back on the road in a vehicle you love.

As a GM dealer, we can help with all your lease needs, whether you're driving a Chevy. These brands are all part of the GM family and have similar lease terms and processes, which makes the return process simpler for our customers. But before you get ready to turn in the keys, there are a few things you need to do to prepare your lease vehicle, and that begins with a self-inspection of the vehicle to look for signs of wear and tear.

Since you're essentially "renting" a lease vehicle, it's important to know the signs of wear and use that Chevy deem acceptable during the lease. Anything beyond these parameters, such as severe dents and dings or tears in the upholstery, can be penalized with added fees at the end of your lease. A comprehensive self-inspection is a great way to find areas that need repair prior to returning your vehicle, and this can help you avoid those wear and use fees. But what else should you be aware of when turning in your lease? Here's everything you need to know about your Chevy lease turn-in.

Chevy Lease Turn-In Details

Leasing is a great way to get behind the wheel of the newest model, which is especially exciting when you lease a Chevy. For example, let's say that you leased the best-selling Tahoe but know that your growing family is better suited for the larger Suburban. When the lease on your Tahoe ends, you can easily switch to a fully loaded Suburban that offers the latest technology and comforts. So, what's the end-of-lease process?

Your lease turn-in technically starts about 12 months from the end of the lease's maturity date. During this time, you'll want to start weighing your options - do you want to find a new vehicle to lease, buy your leased vehicle, or return the vehicle? Our team can explain the benefits of each option, ride along with you as you test drive new vehicles, and help you navigate the buying process.

When your lease is 120 days from maturity, it's time to start the inspection process. This begins at home from the comfort of your garage, where you can self-inspect the vehicle for any excessive wear or use, all of which is outlined in your lease agreement. You can also reach out to the dealership to schedule a complimentary pre-return inspection where our team will go over the vehicle and notify you of any areas that need repair. To minimize any additional fees, you'll want to have our service department make any repairs and then turn in those receipts when you return your lease.

Once your inspection and the necessary repairs are made, you're one step closer to turning in your lease. Now it's time to remove your personal items from the vehicle and clean the entire vehicle, inside and out. Make sure that everything that came with the vehicle, such as key fobs, the owner's manual, and floor mats, are present and intact. After your Chevy is clean and exactly how you received it, it's time to head over to the dealership, where our team will help you return your vehicle and then help you lease or buy a new Chevy.
