The full story

Why Diehl Kia of Massillon earned this grade

Diehl Kia Of Massillon received an A grade. From December 2025 through May 2026, CarEdge reviewed 5 verified quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges are clearly shown.

What they do well

There is no specific pricing or fee-transparency strength supported by these quotes to highlight.

Where to push back

Average confirmed dealer fees were $441.20 per quote, about $43 above the Median state fee in Ohio of $398. That median is the middle fee figure in the state reference. All five quotes show dealer fees as one unclear combined amount rather than fully itemized charges. Ask the dealer to break out each fee in writing and explain what it covers before agreeing.

One quote shows $999 in required add-ons. Ask whether those add-ons are required for this vehicle. Also request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges before you agree.

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 Diehl Kia of Massillon in Massillon, OH, that has meant 5 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%.
