The full story
Why Donohoo Chevrolet earned this grade
Donohoo Chevrolet has an A grade based on 5 quotes reviewed from November 2025 through September 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were below the state median. Average confirmed dealer fees were $299 across the quotes, compared with the Alabama Median state fee of $799—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ One written offer matched its advertised selling price. In the one quote compared, both prices were $53,700. That is useful evidence for that offer, not a guarantee for every vehicle.
Where to push back
The available quote comparisons do not support a broader conclusion about vehicle prices. Before agreeing, ask: “Can you provide an itemized written quote showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges?” Compare the selling price with the vehicle’s advertised price.
