SCI CarCare Can Make the Lease Return Process Worry-Free!

One objection that we get sometimes to a customer considering leasing a vehicle instead of purchasing/financing is the lease return process. Every vehicle experiences an amount of wear and tear while it is being driven, and the last thing you want is a big repair bill at the end of your lease for a vehicle you aren’t even going to be driving anymore!

Minor wear & tear can add up over a few years – a cracked windshield, some bald tires, a cracked bumper, a scratch in your paint, etc.  But all these minor things can add up to a major reconditioning bill from the leasing company.  That’s where SCI CarCare comes into play.  For as little as $16.65+HST per month, adding SCI CarCare to your lease will save you from those unexpected charges.
