Returning a Leased Car Step by Step

Bringing your leased vehicle back to the dealership is a very straightforward process. Even if you’ve leased your car from another Northford area dealership, you can return it to us. Here’s how the lease process works:

1. You will drop off your vehicle at our dealership.
2. One of our service specialists will inspect the vehicle for overall quality, damage, and other key factors.
3. Any additional miles on the odometer that exceed the mileage restrictions or wear and tear are subject to penalty fees.
4. Once the vehicle inspection process is complete, you can upgrade to a newer model for a new lease, buy out your current leased vehicle, or walk away and go for any of our new or pre-owned models.
