The full story

Why Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Of Tampa Bay earned this grade

Between November 2025 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 13 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 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 8% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,995 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,185 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.

TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,298 is $386 above the FL average of $912. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.

TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
