The full story

Why Crest Honda earned this grade

Between May 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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 things

Mandatory add-ons are the exception

Only 10% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $795 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$810 is $137 above the TN average of $673. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

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 Crest Honda in Nashville, TN, that has meant 10 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deals 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.

Fee Transparency

30%

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

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

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
