Why Garvey Kia earned this grade

What they do well

No supported pricing strength stands out in this small sample.

Where to push back

The quote showed $397.50 in confirmed dealer fees, above the $175 Median state fee. The Median state fee is the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. One combined-fees amount was unclear, and the dealer fees were not fully itemized. Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written offer that breaks out each dealer fee, the vehicle selling price, taxes and government charges.

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 Garvey Kia in Queensbury, NY, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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%.
