The full story
Why Autonation Honda O'hare earned this grade
Between August 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 15 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 $377, their doc fee is within $7 of the IL average of $370. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Quoted add-ons are the exception
Only 13% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $53. Most shoppers here never see one.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 7.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,590 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.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Autonation Honda O'hare in Des Plaines, IL, that has meant 15 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deal 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.
Fee Transparency
30%Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.
Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
30%Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.
Data Quality
10%More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
