The full story
Why Clawson Honda of Fresno earned this grade
Clawson Honda of Fresno received an A based on 13 verified quotes from July through November 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Fees are itemized. All 13 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $116, compared with California’s Median state fee of $117—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ Written prices were at or below the ad. Of the two written offers with price comparisons, one was within $1 of the advertised price and the other was $1,654 below it. Across those offers, quoted prices averaged $827 below advertised prices.
Where to push back
Eleven of the 13 quotes had dealer fees above the California Median state fee, although the average confirmed fee was about $1 below it, so the difference is small. Ask the dealer to confirm the itemized fee total in writing. Since the two written offers showed different price gaps, also confirm the exact vehicle, advertised price and any discounts on your offer before agreeing.
