Excess Wear & Tear Protection

Protect Yourself from Unexpected Lease Charges

When you lease a vehicle, your lease agreement holds you financially responsible for the condition of the car when it's returned. Even minor scratches, dents, or interior wear can lead to unexpected repair bills at lease-end. With Excess Wear & Tear Protection from Total Care Auto Powered by Asbury, you can reduce the risk of costly charges, minimize stress, and enjoy your vehicle without worrying about the little things.

Drive freely. Return confidently. Avoid lease-end surprises.

Why Lease Wear & Tear Protection Matters

Many drivers assume "normal wear" is covered by their lease — but even small issues can add up:

Minor dents or dings
Scratches on paint or bumpers
Interior stains or rips in upholstery
Wheel or tire damage

Without protection, repair costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Our service contract helps cover eligible wear and tear expenses, so you can return your leased vehicle with confidence.
