The full story
Why Doggett Ford earned this grade
Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.1% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $925 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
