The full story

Why Auto Credit Sales earned this grade

Between November 2025 and December 2025, 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 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $200, their doc fee sits at or just under the WA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 25% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $11,110 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,155 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.

For Auto Credit Sales in Spokane Valley, WA, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes 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.
