What steps should I consider for returning my leased Escalade near Detroit?
For anyone who has decided to return their Escalade, whether they are leasing/buying or buying, you can keep up with the lease-end timeline to make sure your car is ready to be returned. This gives you the ability to avoid any surprises in terms of wear and tear, and to make sure you have everything you need once the return date is in place. We want you to succeed!
- 90 days: At 90 days, or about 3 months out from the end of your Escalade’s lease, this is when you need to begin your research for what happens next. You’ll want to hone in on what other car you might want if you do want to lease/finance with us again, or start the discussions as to what kind of financing help you’ll need if you keep your current Escalade. Our team will be around to answer all of your questions and recommend test drives.
- 60 days: Schedule your pre-return inspection! This doesn’t have to happen exactly 2 months out, but it’s something we recommend doing sooner rather than later, as this is when any extra wear and tear issues on your Escalade can be identified. Some examples of major problems include permanent stains on the interior, 4 or more dings on a panel, large cracks in the glass, mismatched tires, and cracked headlights.
- 30 days: Schedule your final return, and have any last-minute repairs taken care of. Now that you have had a pre-return inspection, you have a better idea as to what needs to get fixed. This is something our service center can handle with ease, so get any fixes done ASAP, and do not forget to schedule that final appointment with our team.
- Day of return: Follow the return checklist! This is your last chance to get all of the information and items you need with your Escalade, so be sure to follow the checklist, and we’ll be around to help you out.
What is the Cadillac return checklist I should follow?
The day has arrived, and it’s time to make sure you have everything you need for your final return! We want to make sure the first thing you do is completely wipe out all of your personal information from your Escalade. This includes login information, saved addresses and phone numbers, and any garage door codes you might have. You should also be cleaning your Escalade, inside and out. You’ll want to remove tollway tags, garage door openers, parking passes, phone chargers, memory cards, and sunglasses, as you won’t have access to this car once you turn it in. Finally, be sure your Escalade has all of its original equipment with it! You’ll want to include the owner’s manual, all of the keys/key fobs, any floor mats, spare tires, cargo covers, etc. Have questions about this checklist? Reach out to us today!
