The full story
Why Audi Birmingham earned this grade
Between April 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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
2 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $700, their doc fee is within $11 of the AL average of $689. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Mandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 25% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $1,103 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
! Where to push back
1 thingThe listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.5% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,225 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.

Add-on Behavior
