Handing back a lease is stressful enough without a surprise bill.
Handing back a lease is stressful enough without a surprise bill. In Toronto, leasing companies inspect the vehicle for excess wear and tear, and dirty or stained surfaces can make small marks look worse than they are. A pre-return detail presents the car at its best, and we do it in your driveway before the inspection date.
Inspectors look closely at paint, wheels, glass, upholstery and odours. We wash and decontaminate the paint, polish out light swirls, clean wheels and tires, and treat stains in the cabin. Before the inspection, we remove the sticky residue from stickers and clean the door jambs and the trunk. Drivers in Financial District often book a week ahead so there is time to fix anything we find.
It helps to be realistic. Detailing cannot repair deep scratches, dents, cracked glass, torn leather or worn tires, and those may still count as excess wear. What we can do is make sure the car is clean enough that the inspector is judging real damage and not dirt. We will point out anything that cleaning cannot fix.
Keep your paperwork. We provide an itemized invoice listing the services done, which you can file with your lease documents in case there is a question later. Payment is by credit card, debit, cash or Interac e-Transfer, and we are available 24/7 by call or text, so scheduling around the return date is easy. Ask if you have a question about timing.

Old Toronto is a mix of downtown condo towers with underground garages, semi-detached and row houses with no driveway at all, and leafy streets in areas like Leaside and the Annex where cars sit on permit street parking, so we plan around a garage level, a laneway or a curb spot rather than assuming a driveway.
Heavy road salt and slush from November through March leave white film on lower panels, wheel wells and carpet mats, especially on cars parked outside on the street. Spring brings pollen and tree sap, and the lake air and downtown construction dust settle on paint all year.
Driving a car across downtown to a shop means congestion on the Gardiner or DVP, expensive parking and a long wait without your vehicle. A mobile detailer works at your condo garage, office lot or curb, so the car stays where you live and work.
We regularly work in Financial District, Fort York and Runnymede, and every other part of Toronto.
