Why Geaux Ford earned this grade
Between July 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 verified deals with this dealership.

1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $390 below the MS average of $390. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
1 thingAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
67% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $1,343. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
