The full story
Why Fertitta Chevrolet earned this grade
Between August 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $232 below the TX average of $232. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Advertised 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 thingAdd-ons show up on most deals
60% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $899. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
