Lease Return Damage With Santander Consumer and Manheim

impossiblegoose

I've got a Mazda going back in a few weeks. Leased with finance from Santander and they're sending Mannheim to do the collection.

The car has a large alloy scratch near the hub, plus a few other little dents and scratches some of which are within wear and tear some of which I'll probably have to pay for.

I've had previous leases with Arval and they issues a price guide for the expected costs, eg £60 an alloy etc. Santander do not issue a cost list, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience on their pricing on fixing damage? 

Having done a lot of reading online and getting a few quote from mobile repair places it seems to me like the costs are probably more expensive to get it done myself, but want to check before doing it. 

FWIW here's the alloy that'll need a fix for sure, it's got a chunk missing on the outside and you can see the scar in the middle. There's also the dent attached.
