The full story

Why Audi Arlington earned this grade

Between October 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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

3 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $885 below the VA average of $885. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 11 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
