The full story

Why Baytown Hyundai earned this grade

Baytown Hyundai has a C grade; CarEdge reviewed 8 quotes from November 2025 through October 2026. This 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 dealer fees fully itemized, making the listed dealer-fee charges clear on each quote.

Where to push back

Confirmed dealer fees averaged $727.16 across the 8 quotes. The Median state fee in Texas was $229.75, the middle fee amount in the state reference; fees exceeded it in 7 quotes. Ask the dealer to explain each fee and whether any can be removed before you agree.

Four quotes showed required add-ons averaging $1,147.50, and 3 of those quotes included a required-add-on charge above $0. Ask which add-ons are required and whether they can be declined. Before agreeing, request an itemized written offer and compare the vehicle’s selling price with its advertised price.

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 Baytown Hyundai in Baytown, TX, that has meant 8 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.

Fee Transparency

30%

Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer include quoted add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent, the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer marks as optional don't count against them.

Does the advertised price include every charge you have to pay? We check each quote against the vehicle page: dealer fees, add-ons, the advertised price and the discount.

Data Quality
