The full story
Why Kelly Bunton earned this grade
Between November 2025 and November 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 2 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.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $785 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 6.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,170 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.

Add-on Behavior
