The full story
Why Avis Car Sales San Antonio earned this grade
Between June 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is in line with the market
At $225, their doc fee sits at or just under the TX average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
! Where to push back
2 thingsMandatory add-ons show up on most deals
33% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $7. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.1% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,435 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
