The full story
Why Butteauto.Com earned this grade
Between September 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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
3 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $399, their doc fee sits at or just under the national average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Add-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 17% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $8,273 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.0% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Butteauto.Com, that has meant 6 verified OTD quotes across 2 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
