Audi Lease Return Process
Audi Plano is your Audi lease return center in the Plano area. We're happy to assit you with the Audi lease return process, regardless of if you leased your vehicle with us originally. At the end of your lease you have three options: turn in your Audi to our dealership, lease or purchase a new Audi, or purchase and keep your current leased Audi.
Below we've provided more information on each avialable option. We have also outlined how to return your vehicle and have it inspected for excess wear and use if you don't plan on keeping it.
Review Your Vehicle for Wear and Use
If you choose to return your vehicle, you can be billed for any excess wear or damage that occured during your lease. Obviously some vehicle wear and use is expected. The following outlines what we consider “normal” versus “excess” wear.

- Dents smaller than 2 inches on bumper or panel

- Single windshield chip without spidering
Excess Wear and Use

- Scratches, dents, gouges, and chips larger than 2 inches on bumper or panel

Schedule Your Vehicle Inspection
Before turning in vehicle, you will need to have a third party inspect your vehicle for excess wear. You can schedule an inspection appointment by logging in to AudiFS.com/myaccount or by calling the inspection company, SGS, at (855) 237-1504. Appointments are available Monday – Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and can be scheduled at your home or work, as long as someone 18 years or older is present.
During the inspection, an SGS agent will evaluate your vehicle for any excess wear and use. Upon completion, you will receive an inspection condition report, which itemizes any excess wear. To view a sample of this report, log in to AudiFS.com/myaccount. Any excess wear will be billed on your Turn-In Settlement Invoice (unless you choose to repair the items at our Audi Service Center prior to turn-in).
If repairs are completed, please email the receipt along with proof of payment to RepairReceipt@AudiFS.com or fax to (800) 824-8284 before returning the vehicle—this will allow time to adjust your Turn-In Settlement Invoice. If you have any questions regarding the inspection process, you can always call us at 972-249-0905.
