Scheduling Inspection and Turn-In Appointments
If the customer does not want to renew the lease or buy the leased car, the remarketing agent schedules the inspection appointment at a dealer or a third-party inspection agency, to determine whether there is any damage to the vehicle that the customer is liable for. At the same time, the remarketing schedules a turn-in appointment at a dealer, usually at the same dealer where the customer leased the vehicle.
All inspection appointments scheduled are listed in the Batch Inspection view. The appointments in this list are sent to the inspection agencies every night.
After the remarketing agent adds this record to indicate that inspection is necessary, the dealer or inspection agency follows up with the customer to set the date and time of the inspection appointment.
This task is a step in Process of Managing End of Lease and Vehicle Remarketing.
