The full story
Why Audi Central Houston earned this grade
Audi Central Houston has an A grade based on 8 verified quotes CarEdge reviewed from February through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized. All 8 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees.
- ✓ Prices matched the ads in the offers checked. In the 2 written offers compared with advertised prices, the vehicle selling prices were within $1 of the ad; both averaged $17,996.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $284.88, higher than the Median state fee in Texas of $229.75. That median is a middle-point fee reference, not an average. Ask whether the dealer can reduce the fee and confirm the amount in writing.
Four quotes show Average required add-ons of $292, though only one of those quotes had a required-extra charge above $0. Ask which extras, if any, are required for your vehicle and request their exact amounts on an itemized written offer.
