The full story

Why Frank Boucher Kia of Racine earned this grade

Between August 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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

3 things

Quoted add-ons are the exception

Only 9% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $276. Most shoppers here never see one.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,304 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.

TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$499 is $97 above the WI average of $402. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Frank Boucher Kia of Racine in Racine, WI, that has meant 11 verified OTD quotes across 3 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.

Fee Transparency

30%

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
