The full story

Why Albany Chrysler Center, Inc 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.

What they do well

1 thing

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $295 is above MN's legal cap of $125. 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 $125 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
