Lincoln Automotive Financial Services (LAFS) sets the rules for how lease-end works, but the day-to-day of scheduling your inspection, handling repairs, and turning in or trading your vehicle happens here at the dealership. The sections below cover both.

How the Lincoln Lease Return Process Works
The lease return process typically starts before your official lease-end date. You can review your own lease timeline anytime through your LAFS Account Manager login.

Quick Answer: A Lincoln lease-end inspection reviews your vehicle's exterior, interior, tires, mileage, and accessories before turn-in. Lincoln Automotive Financial Services typically has customers schedule this complimentary inspection somewhere in the last 45 to 60 days before their lease ends.
What Is a Lincoln Lease-End Inspection?
A Lincoln lease-end inspection reviews the condition of your vehicle before it's returned. LAFS arranges this through Manheim Mobile Inspections, also known as Alliance Inspection Management (AiM). Appointments can typically take place at your home, your workplace, or a local Lincoln retailer.
Plan to schedule your complimentary inspection somewhere in the last 45 to 60 days before your lease ends. Appointments can typically be self-scheduled online or by phone.
Understanding Wear and Use Guidelines
Some wear is expected on a leased vehicle. Lincoln's Wear and Use guidelines outline what's considered normal versus chargeable. As a general guide, more than three scratches or dents longer than 4 inches per panel, more than 15 paint chips per panel, or tire tread under 1/8 inch fall under excess wear and use, along with things like sidewall damage and interior stains larger than a half inch. Reviewing your guidelines ahead of time can help you know what to expect at inspection.
After Your Inspection: Repairs and Your Final Statement
If your inspection turns up items you'd rather handle yourself, our factory-trained technicians can take care of repairs using genuine Lincoln parts, and it's worth keeping your repair receipts on hand for your return appointment. Once your lease is complete, LAFS mails or posts a final statement to your Account Manager reflecting any mileage or wear and use charges. If you didn't renew into a new Lincoln or Ford through LAFS, this statement may also include a disposition fee, if one is disclosed on your Lease Agreement.
How to Prepare for Your Lincoln Lease Turn-In
Before your lease-end inspection, it helps to walk around your Lincoln and check for anything that may need attention.
- Exterior dents, scratches, or paint damage
- Windshield chips or cracked glass
- Tire tread depth and overall tire condition
- Wheel scratches or gouges
- Interior stains, tears, or burn marks
- Mileage compared to your Lease Agreement, which can result in an excess mileage fee if you're over your allotted miles
- Missing keys, fobs, manuals, mats, or accessories
- A master reset of your SYNC®/Navigation system
- The Lincoln Mobile Power Cord, if you're returning a Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid
Quick Answer: Bring all keys and fobs, your Owner's Manual, original floor mats, and any required lease-return documents to your Lincoln lease return appointment. If you're returning a Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid, bring the Lincoln Mobile Power Cord as well.
Your Lincoln Lease-End Options
When your Lincoln lease is ending, LAFS gives you three main paths, depending on your Lease Agreement and current situation.
Return Your Lease
Ready to turn in your current Lincoln? Contact our team to schedule your appointment. Need more time instead? Ask our Finance Department about lease extension eligibility before you commit to a return date.
Get a New Lincoln
Move into a new Lincoln. Browse current inventory and current specials. Ask about current disposition fee and wear and use waivers when you renew through LAFS.
Purchase Your Lincoln
Love your current vehicle? Purchasing it at lease end means no inspection, no wear and use charges, and no excess mileage charges. Apply for financing to get started on a purchase price.
Can I Return My Lincoln Lease at Gary Yeomans Lincoln?
In many cases, yes, even if you originally leased elsewhere. LAFS defaults to your originating retailer, but if that's no longer convenient, other participating Lincoln retailers, including Gary Yeomans Lincoln, may be able to accept your return. Contact our team ahead of time to confirm and schedule an appointment. If you'd rather sell your current Lincoln outright, our Value Your Trade tool can give you an estimate before you visit.
Gary Yeomans Lincoln is a convenient stop for lease customers throughout Daytona Beach, Orlando, Palm Coast, Port Orange, and Ormond Beach.
Why Start the Lease Return Process Early?
Starting early gives you more time to prepare, ask questions, and review your options. Getting ahead of your lease-end date means more time to understand your timeline, review your vehicle's condition, and explore new Lincoln lease or purchase options before you're up against a deadline.
Quick Answer: Starting early means more time to shop, compare financing options, and handle any repairs on your own schedule instead of racing your lease-end date.
