The full story

Why West Broad Honda earned this grade

Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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 thing

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $795, their doc fee sits at or just under the VA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 5.6% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,960 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.
