The full story

Why Clay Cooley Hyundai of Terrell earned this grade

Between May 2026 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 12 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

3 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $229 below the TX average of $229. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 8% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,581 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
