1. Make an appointment so we are prepared for your visit.
2. Take your vehicle to the dealership. 
3. One of our lease specialists will inspect the vehicle for any damage, check the overall quality, record the miles on the odometer, and more.
4. Any extra miles that exceed the limit or any significant wear and tear are subject to penalty fees. 
5. Once the inspection is complete, you can upgrade to a new Chevy model for a new lease, purchase your current leased vehicle, purchase a used or certified pre-owned vehicle, or walk away and do nothing.
