Mobile repair on a lease return — done on the drive before the inspection
2026-07-22 · a real job from our bays (customer details never published)
End-of-contract inspections are unforgiving about wheels. Scuffs that nobody notices day to day get written up and charged at main-dealer replacement rates, which is a serious number on a set of four.
This was textbook mobile work: light rash on the outer rims, no buckles, no corrosion under the paint. The van came out to the house, and the wheels were stripped, filled, colour-matched and refinished where the car stood.
A few hours on the drive, no courtesy car, no time booked off work, and the car went back without a wheel charge on the invoice.
Car going back soon? Get the wheels looked at early — the fix costs a fraction of the damage charge.
