GM Financial · turn-in coming up?

Chevy lease return. Skip the per-ding fee.

GM Financial charges $100–$300 per ding for excess wear at turn-in. Paintless dent repair typically runs $125–$300 per ding — and unlike a body-shop fix, it doesn’t generate a Carfax record.

GM Financial wear-and-use specifics

What Chevrolet’s lease-end inspector actually charges for.

GM Financial's wear guide allows dents under 1 inch but charges everything bigger. Equinox and Silverado leases get flagged for door-edge dents from parking lots almost universally.

What your Chevy’s panels are made of

Mid-grade steel

Most Chevrolets are mid-grade steel — fast and predictable to repair. The exception is the Equinox hood and Silverado bed, which have aluminum elements. Mike will tell you on the spot which panel's in which tier.

Chevrolet lease return · Q&A

Four questions Chevrolet lessees ask.

  • How much does GM Financial charge for excess dents at lease end?

    GM Financial typically charges $100–$300 per ding per dent above the wear-and-use threshold. GM Financial's wear guide allows dents under 1 inch but charges everything bigger. Equinox and Silverado leases get flagged for door-edge dents from parking lots almost universally.

  • Will paintless dent repair on my Chevrolet show on Carfax?

    No — not for cash-pay PDR. Carfax records come from insurance claims and body-shop work involving paint or parts. PDR uses neither. If Mike repairs your Chevrolet dent and you pay cash (no insurance), the repair doesn't generate any record Carfax indexes.

  • How long does it take to fix dents on a Chevrolet?

    Most Chevrolets are mid-grade steel — fast and predictable to repair. The exception is the Equinox hood and Silverado bed, which have aluminum elements. Mike will tell you on the spot which panel's in which tier. Most lease-return jobs run 1-2 days at the Bethlehem shop or mobile at your driveway. Mike writes you a quote within 24–48 hours when you text a photo.

  • Should I fix small dents on my Chevrolet or just pay the lease-end fee?

    The math almost always favors fixing them. GM Financial's $100–$300 per ding per ding is more than PDR typically costs ($125-$300 per ding), AND PDR leaves no Carfax record AND your car retains higher residual value. Text Mike a photo and he'll give you an honest read on whether your specific dents are worth fixing pre-turn-in.

“If I can fix it, I make it factory. If I can’t, I’ll tell you on the spot — I’d rather lose the job than sell you a half-fix.”
