The full story

Why Certified Autoplex earned this grade

Certified Autoplex has an A grade; from January through April 2026, CarEdge reviewed 3 verified quotes, a small sample. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were itemized — All 3 quotes showed dealer fees fully itemized, making those charges clear. The average confirmed dealer fees, excluding taxes and government charges, were $281.55.

Where to push back

Dealer fees were higher than the reference in all 3 quotes. The average confirmed dealer fees were about $52 above the Median state fee in Texas, $229.75—the middle fee amount in the state reference. That difference is worth asking about, without assuming the fees are negotiable.

Before agreeing, ask whether the dealer fees can be reduced and request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges. Compare the selling price with the advertised price, too.

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 Certified Autoplex in Farmers Branch, TX, that has meant 3 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%.
