The full story

Why Auburn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram earned this grade

Between November 2025 and July 2026, 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

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $472 is above CA's legal cap of $85. 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 $85 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
