Autonation Toyota Hayward received an A and has 23 verified quotes from November 2025 through November 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
There isn’t a specific pricing or fee-disclosure strength to call out from these quotes.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $120.67 in the quotes with fee totals, compared with the Median state fee in CA of $117—the middle fee amount in the state reference. Dealer fees were above that median in 19 of 23 quotes, so ask the dealer to explain each fee on your written offer.
Among four written offers with selling prices checked against advertised prices, two were more than $1 above the ad and none was within $1. The average difference was $598.50 above the ad, but the offers varied: one was $170 below and the largest difference was $2,165 above. Ask whether the advertised vehicle price can be honored, and request an itemized written offer showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges before agreeing.
