Why Alm Hyundai Florence earned this grade
Between July 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 8 verified deals with this dealership.

✓ What they do well
1 thingMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 13% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $12. Most shoppers here never see one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $995 is above SC'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 4.1% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,435 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.
