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 things

Doc 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 thing

Add-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.
