The full story
Why Central Autohaus earned this grade
From December 2025 through September 2026, Central Autohaus is graded C; CarEdge reviewed five verified quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
The quotes do not establish a specific pricing or fee-transparency strength.
Where to push back
Dealer fees averaged $466.77 across the five quotes, compared with typical dealer fees of $229.75 in Texas; fees exceeded that level in two quotes. One quote had an unclear combined-fees amount, and one did not fully itemize dealer fees.
Four quotes show required extras averaging $1,195, and all four included a required-extra charge. Ask the dealer to identify each required extra, confirm whether it can be removed, and explain every fee before you agree. Request an itemized written offer showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges so you can compare the full terms.

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 Central Autohaus in Dallas, TX, that has meant 5 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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.
Price Accuracy
30%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
10%Does the quote list taxes, dealer fees, add-ons and government fees each on its own line? Each one is worth a quarter.
