What they do well

1 thing

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $85, their doc fee sits at or just under the CA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

! Where to push back

2 things

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,495. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.7% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,645 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
