The full story

Why Fremont Ford earned this grade

Fremont Ford’s eligible quotes span November 2025–October 2026; CarEdge reviewed 19 verified quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and how clearly charges are shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Most dealer fees were itemized. 18 of 19 quotes fully itemized dealer fees. Across 18 quotes with confirmed totals, Average confirmed dealer fees were $89, below California’s Median state fee of $117—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.

Where to push back

Two quotes included required extras, with Average required add-ons of $999. Ask whether those extras can be removed, and get their cost listed separately in writing before agreeing. One quote did not fully itemize dealer fees, so ask for a complete breakdown of every dealer charge. Request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges, and review it before signing.

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 Fremont Ford in Newark, CA, that has meant 19 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 5 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
