Lease-return charge review · Decision support
Lease return charge dispute checklist before you pay.
Use this checklist to review inspection reports, photos, invoices and end-of-lease charges before generating a dispute-ready report with TrustAutoAI.
Checklist
Seven checks before accepting charges.
01 · Report identityMatch the VIN, lease holder, inspection date, mileage and return date against your documents.
02 · Charge mathCompare line-item charges, tax/admin fees and totals. Watch for duplicate categories or unexplained aggregation.
03 · Photo evidenceCheck whether each charged item has item-level photo evidence, not just generic vehicle photos or zone-level images.
04 · Normal wear boundarySeparate ordinary wear from excess wear based on the lease guide and inspection language. Do not assume every listed item is payable.
05 · Missing supportFlag charges with no photo, vague descriptions, unclear location, no repair basis, or no explanation of why the item exceeds the wear standard.
06 · Prior condition proofCollect return photos, pre-return inspection notes, maintenance/repair receipts, and communications with the dealer or leasing company.
07 · Response packetPrepare a concise dispute packet: questionable charges, evidence gaps, supporting attachments and a draft email.
