The full story

Why Audi Dominion earned this grade

Between October 2025 and November 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $225, their doc fee sits at or just under the TX average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 20% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,165 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 8.3% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,905 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

For Audi Dominion in San Antonio, TX, that has meant 10 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
