They should as long as it's repaired back to the way it was.

Car can only have normal wear and tear.

On my last lease they made me replace the front tires.

I told them that was the reason I was turning it in. Premature wear at 15k.

Is the car anywhere close to being totaled? If it's totaled, I hope that you have gap insurance.

If it's repaired, the repairs have to be good quality. If there are visible clues that the car was in a collision, the car will be inspected very thoroughly and any repair that is deemed out spec will be charged to you for correction.

Oh, there is absolutely no problem returning the car to the dealer at the end of the lease. You agreement probably requires them to take it, if you so choose.

The real problem is that accident repair may be deemed beyond "normal wear" and they may charge you big bucks for the additional "wear". If the accident is being repaired through your dealer, you may want to talk to them now about what issues may arise at the end of lease. If they say no problem, get it in writing now.
