Quick Answer: A Ford Credit lease-end inspection reviews your vehicle's exterior, interior, tires, mileage, and equipment before turn-in. It's performed by Alliance Inspection Management (AiM) and can typically take place at your home, your office, or Gary Yeomans Ford Palm Bay.
A Ford Credit lease-end inspection looks at the overall condition of your Ford before it's returned. Ford Credit arranges this through Alliance Inspection Management (AiM), an independent third-party inspection company, and appointments can typically happen at your home, your office, or a local Ford dealership.
Complete the Wear and Use Evaluator Card self-assessment first, then schedule your complimentary inspection within about 60 days of your lease-end date. Scheduling early gives you more time to review your results and handle any repairs before turn-in.
Some wear is expected on a leased vehicle, and Ford Credit's Wear and Use Guide lays out what's considered normal versus excessive. Generally, up to three dings, dents, or scratches per panel under 4 inches count as normal wear, along with wheel scratches under 6 inches, while all glass damage and tires that aren't an appropriate match for the vehicle fall under excess wear and use. If you purchased WearCare, it can waive qualifying excess wear and use charges up to $5,000 in most cases. See your WearCare Addendum for exclusions specific to your plan.
If your inspection turns up repair needs, our Ford-trained technicians use Original Equipment Manufacturer parts, and it's worth holding onto your repair receipts to verify completed work at turn-in. Some damage may also be covered under your own vehicle insurance, so give any claims time to process before your return.
At turn-in, you'll sign an Odometer Statement as required by federal law, confirming your vehicle's mileage. If your lease agreement discloses a Disposition Fee, it applies to returned vehicles, though it may be waived if you move into a new Ford or Lincoln lease or purchase.
Ahead of your lease-end inspection, it's worth walking around your Ford and checking for anything that might need attention.
Quick Answer: Bring all keys, head restraints, your spare tire, and your owner's manual to your Ford lease return appointment at Gary Yeomans Ford Palm Bay. If you're returning a Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning, bring the charge cord as well.
Depending on your lease agreement and where you stand, you'll generally have a few paths open as your Ford lease comes to a close.
