Introducing Wondle: A New Tool for Personal Leasing Customers

We understand that by the end of your personal leasing term, minor damages like dents and scratches on your vehicle are likely, so we adhere to the BVRLA Fair Wear & Tear Guide for a fair assessment of your vehicle. To help you understand what constitutes as Fair Wear and Tear, we're offering customers a new app, Wondle, designed to assist you in evaluating these damages. With Wondle, you can easily take pictures of your vehicle, receive indicative repair costs, and understand whether the damage falls under fair wear and tear or if it's chargeable. This helps you make informed decisions about repairs and prepares you for any potential end-of-lease charges.

Interested in Wondle for your vehicle assessment? Email our team on novunascan@customerservice.wondle.io with your name, vehicle registration, and contact details for more information.
