End-of-Lease Repairs
When your vehicle lease or contract hire agreement ends, the leasing company will send an independent inspector to evaluate its condition. They assess the vehicle based on strict BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) "Fair Wear and Tear" guidelines. Any chip, scratch, dent, or alloy scuff that exceeds these limits will result in hefty penalty charges on your final invoice. These lease company penalties are notoriously expensive. Our End-of-Lease Repair service is designed to inspect your car prior to return and repair any non-compliant damage at a fraction of the cost you would otherwise be charged.

Have Questions?
Do I have to use my insurance company's approved repairer?
No. You have the absolute legal right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurers often prefer their network to keep their own costs down, which can sometimes lead to aftermarket parts being used. Choosing Max Auto Colour ensures no compromises on quality.
Will choosing you affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. We repair all vehicles to manufacturer standards using approved techniques, parts, and premium paint systems, meaning your vehicle's warranty remains fully intact.
What if the accident was not my fault?
If the accident was non-fault, we can handle the claim entirely through a non-fault accident management scheme. This means you pay zero excess, receive a equivalent replacement hire vehicle, and your insurer is not involved, protecting your no-claims bonus.
