The full story
Why Byers Mazda earned this grade
Between December 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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 thingsAdd-ons offered — none required
This dealer includes optional add-ons in 43% of quotes, but none are mandatory — you can ask to remove any of them.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $448 is above OH's legal cap of $398. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $398 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

For Byers Mazda in Columbus, OH, that has meant 7 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.

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
