Absolutely. In fact, we encourage you to make repairs before returning your leased vehicle. To help identify what does and doesn’t constitute excessive wear and use (EWU), we recommend scheduling a courtesy pre-inspection with your originating dealer (or any participating Toyota dealer). The service department will inspect your vehicle for things like dings, scratches, mileage use, and more, and you will receive a report detailing what they found.

You then have the option of repairing any EWU items before returning your vehicle at lease-end. Your Toyota dealer should be happy to help in that regard, or you are also free to have another trusted shop handle the repairs – either way, keep your receipts for any repairs made. If you don’t address the EWU items discovered in your pre-inspection, you may be subject to charges once you return your vehicle.
