Reaching the end of your INFINITI lease does not have to feel complicated. Drivers in Franklin and throughout the Nashville area can use this page to review the official INFINITI Financial Services lease-end process, understand what to expect, and explore the options available as their lease term comes to an end.
Lease-end inspections, wear-and-use guidelines, and potential account charges are determined by INFINITI Financial Services and Alliance Inspection Management (AIM). INFINITI of Cool Springs can help you understand the next steps and prepare for your lease return.

Quick Answer: INFINITI Financial Services generally offers three lease-end paths: return the vehicle, purchase it under your original agreement, or move into another INFINITI. INFINITI of Cool Springs can help you compare those choices.
Lease-End Timeline
About 60 days before maturity, INFINITI Financial Services typically sends a Wear and Use Assessment Key so you can review common items before the required inspection. That same window is a good time to talk with INFINITI of Cool Springs about returning, buying, or looking at the current INFINITI lineup.
Open the Assessment Key
INFINITI Financial Services sends a Wear and Use Assessment Key around 60 days before lease-end so you can check common exterior, interior, tire, and equipment items.
Arrange the AIM inspection
Book the required AIM inspection during the final 60 days of the lease. INFINITI of Cool Springs can help you get organized if you are unsure where to start.
Study the Condition Report
AIM provides a Condition Report and a Notice of Options so you can decide whether any repairs should be completed before return.
Confirm your visit in Franklin
Choose return, purchase, or replacement, then contact INFINITI of Cool Springs so your visit can be planned before you arrive.
Quick Answer: Review the Assessment Key, schedule AIM within the last 60 days of the lease, then contact INFINITI of Cool Springs before your visit.
Lease-End Inspection
INFINITI Financial Services requires an end-of-lease inspection performed by Alliance Inspection Management (AIM), an independent certified inspection company. If you need help getting started, the Franklin team can point you toward the official AIM scheduling process.
AIM compares the vehicle with INFINITI Financial Services wear-and-use guidelines and issues a Condition Report plus a notice explaining options to make repairs before return. If excess wear is noted, you decide whether repairs are worthwhile before the vehicle is turned in.
Quick Answer: Alliance Inspection Management (AIM) performs the required lease-end inspection. Schedule it within the final 60 days of the lease.
Excess Wear and Use
Normal use from daily driving is expected and is not treated as chargeable. INFINITI Financial Services' Guide to Chargeable Wear and Use includes examples customers often review ahead of inspection:
Those standards belong to INFINITI Financial Services. The AIM Condition Report is the document that identifies anything that may apply to your specific vehicle.
Quick Answer: Wear-and-use standards come from INFINITI Financial Services. AIM documents any items that may be chargeable on your vehicle.
Your Lease-End Options
When an INFINITI lease matures, most customers choose one of three directions: keep the vehicle by purchasing it, return it after inspection, or move into another INFINITI. The Cool Springs team can walk through each path using your lease documents.
Purchase your current INFINITI
Your original lease agreement includes a purchase option price. Buying the vehicle means excess mileage and excess wear-and-use charges typically do not apply. Contact INFINITI of Cool Springs to review the details that apply to your account.
Prepare to return the vehicle
Complete the required AIM inspection, keep the Condition Report with the vehicle, and contact INFINITI of Cool Springs before you arrive so the return visit can be planned.
Explore new INFINITI vehicles
If you are ready for a different INFINITI, browse new INFINITI inventory at INFINITI of Cool Springs while your lease is still active.
Look at financing next steps
Get pre-approved if you are considering a purchase or a new lease. You can also start an online value estimate if you want a general look at market value outside an active lease.
Quick Answer: Purchase, return, or replace your INFINITI. INFINITI of Cool Springs can help you sort through the option that fits your plans.
Prepare Your INFINITI
Handling due maintenance before the AIM inspection can reduce last-minute surprises. You can schedule service online with INFINITI of Cool Springs. Routine service does not guarantee a charge-free AIM report.
Quick Answer: Bring your IFS account number, all keys and fobs, owner materials, and the AIM Condition Report to the return visit.
Reach Out Before You Come In
A short message before your visit helps the Franklin team prepare. INFINITI of Cool Springs can answer general questions about the visit and next-vehicle options. Inspection results, wear-and-use determinations, and final charges remain with AIM and INFINITI Financial Services.
Use the Contact Us page to get started, or review the dealership's INFINITI Lease End Experience page. Contact INFINITI of Cool Springs before your visit so timing and next steps can be confirmed.
Quick Answer: Message INFINITI of Cool Springs before you arrive so questions and timing can be confirmed.
After the Vehicle Is Returned
After turn-in, any chargeable wear and use identified by AIM is billed through the end-of-lease liability statement from INFINITI Financial Services. If you purchase the vehicle instead, excess mileage and excess wear-and-use charges generally do not apply.
