A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is a lease-end inspection?

A lease-end inspection is a walk-around assessment of your vehicle's condition before you return it. Most leasing companies send a third-party inspector (often from a company like AutoVIN) to your home or office about 4 to 6 weeks before your lease ends. They document any damage beyond normal wear and tear, mileage overages, and missing equipment. The inspection report helps you understand what charges to expect at turn-in.

David Alesso made the impossible happen! My family grew & my SUV got very small FAST but I still had a year left on my lease. This was my 2nd time using Vantage Auto Group & David worked a miracle! Yet again, everything was very seamless & easy & my Telluride was delivered right to my door!

Thank you Vantage Auto for getting me a good deal on an Odyssey! Shout out to Charlie who made this process painless and smooth from beginning to end. Totally beats having to go to the dealership.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving Vantage Auto Group a shot — you won’t be disappointed!!Words like “trustworthy” and “transparent” don’t usually come to mind when people think of car brokers or car salesmen… but Vantage Auto is changing that. They’re redefining the standard and restoring trust in this industry by proving that good, honest people still exist in the car business.They’re easy to deal with, efficient, communicative, and just all-around FAIR and GREAT to work with!

Sean and the team are fantastic, and make a complicated process really easy. Not to mention they got us a lease deal on our new jeep at a better price than what we’ve been paying the last 4 years… can’t thank them enough!

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

I reached out to several dealerships and it was a terrible experience. So I decided to reach out the Vantage and it was night and day. It was a great experience and very easy to work with. Elka did a tremendous job finding the exact vehicle I was looking for at a great price. They delivered the vehicle to my home and I couldn't as for more. Only place I will get all my vehicles from.
