Whether you're driving a Buick Enclave or a GMC Sierra, your lease is serviced through GM Financial, and the lease-end process works the same way regardless of which of the two brands you chose. Gastonia Buick GMC is here to help you sort through your options as your term winds down.
Three Paths at Lease End
Most Buick and GMC lease customers land on one of three choices: bring the vehicle back, buy it, or trade into something new. None of these are mutually exclusive to plan for early, and our team can help you figure out which fits your situation as your lease-end date gets closer. If you'd rather sell your current vehicle outright instead, our KBB Instant Cash Offer tool is worth a look too.
- Return your Buick or GMC to the dealership where it was leased, or contact GM Financial if you'd like to return it elsewhere
- Purchase your vehicle at any point in your lease term through Mode by GM Financial, or start a finance application with our team
- Trade in and move into a new Buick or GMC, browsing our new inventory before you decide
Scheduling Your GM Financial Pre-Return Inspection
If returning is on the table, it's worth booking a pre-return inspection through OPENLANE Inspections, GM Financial's inspection partner. It's optional, but it's the clearest way to find out ahead of time whether you're looking at any excess wear or mileage charges.

Not Sure You Have Excess Wear?
The inspection report will spell it out, but generally, normal wear from everyday driving isn't something you'll be charged for. It's the wear beyond that standard, like larger dents or interior damage, that shows up as a charge on your final invoice unless you repair it first. Our service center can help you handle any repairs before your final appointment.
What to Have Ready for Turn-In
A short checklist before your appointment can save you a trip back:
- Owner's manual and any accessories that came with the vehicle
- Both sets of keys, if issued
- Exterior free of dents, scratches, or noticeable paint damage
- Interior free of stains, tears, or missing parts
- Current mileage checked against your lease agreement
- Personal and financial information cleared from the vehicle and infotainment system
Quick Answer: Bring your owner's manual, both sets of keys, and any accessories to your Buick or GMC turn-in appointment, and clear personal information from the vehicle beforehand.
Explore Your Next Buick or GMC
Whether you stay with the brand you're driving now or switch between Buick and GMC, our new inventory includes the Enclave, Encore GX, and Envision from Buick, alongside the Sierra, Acadia, and Terrain from GMC.
Leasing or buying a new GM vehicle at turn-in can also make you eligible for a disposition fee waiver, so it's worth exploring your next vehicle before finalizing your return.
