If your Mercedes-Benz lease through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services (MBFS) is getting close to its end date, our team can walk you through what comes next, whether that means scheduling your First Class Finish pre-inspection, buying your current vehicle, or stepping into something new.
We work with lease customers across Denver, Boulder, and Aurora, and we can typically handle your turn-in appointment here even if your lease started at a different Mercedes-Benz dealer.
As your Mercedes-Benz lease approaches its maturity date, you'll generally be weighing a few paths: returning the vehicle, purchasing it, or moving into a new one. Our team can help you decide which fits your situation.
If a new Mercedes-Benz is part of the plan, take a look at our new Mercedes-Benz inventory and current specials.
Most of this happens ahead of your official lease maturity date. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services typically reaches out around four months beforehand to get your First Class Finish pre-inspection on the calendar.

Our Finance Center can also answer questions about your current lease terms.
Quick Answer: A Mercedes-Benz lease-end pre-inspection, part of MBFS's First Class Finish program, reviews your vehicle's exterior, interior, tires, and mileage before turn-in. It's performed by OPENLANE and can typically take place at your home, your workplace, or Mercedes-Benz of Westminster.
A Mercedes-Benz lease-end pre-inspection looks at the overall condition of your vehicle before it's returned. MBFS arranges this through OPENLANE, an independent third-party inspection company, and appointments can typically happen at your home, your workplace, or a local dealer.
Plan to get your complimentary pre-inspection scheduled around four months, or roughly 120 days, before your lease matures. Your results are then available online, so you have time to review them and handle any repairs before your return appointment.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services uses The Credit Card Test® as a simple way to gauge exterior damage: if it can't be seen when a standard-size credit card is placed over it, it generally isn't chargeable. Beyond that, a few specifics are worth knowing ahead of time. Dents and scratches through the paint larger than a credit card are chargeable, as is the sixth and any later scratch per panel. Tires under 1/8 inch of tread, sidewall damage, and mismatched tires per axle also count as excess wear and use, along with three or more windshield chips. Reviewing these ahead of your appointment can help you know what to expect.
If your inspection turns up items you'd rather handle yourself, our factory-trained technicians can take care of repairs using genuine parts. Once your vehicle is returned, MBFS mails a final lease-end statement detailing any mileage or wear and use charges based on the inspection.
If your lease agreement includes a vehicle turn-in fee, our Finance Center can walk you through how it applies to your situation and what it takes to avoid it.
Before your lease-end inspection, it helps to walk around your Mercedes-Benz and check for anything that might need attention.
Quick Answer: Bring your second key, owner's manual, tool kit, and spare tire to your Mercedes-Benz lease return appointment at Mercedes-Benz of Westminster. If you're returning an EQE, EQS, or other Mercedes-EQ model, bring the charging cables as well.
Depending on your lease agreement and where things stand, you'll generally have a few paths open as your Mercedes-Benz lease comes to a close.

In most cases, yes, even if your lease started at a different dealer. MBFS generally allows returns through any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, so we can typically accept your turn-in.
