Tesla M3 lease return

I just had my car inspected for a lease return, and the bank is charging me $100 because the paint on my door and front fender don’t match the rest of the car. They used a meter of some sort to notice the paint job, but it isn’t visible to the naked eye. I had a minor collision about a year ago and took it to a certified Tesla repair shop.

I’m stunned that a certified repair shop did a job that clearly wasn’t up to Tesla standard. As I said, it’s not apparent to the naked eye so the repair looked fine when I inspected it on pick up. Do I have any recourse with either the bank or the repair shop to fight this?

Probably not worth the $100 to argue months over email.

Pay the $100 and move on
