The full story
Why Gengras East Hartford earned this grade
Between February 2026 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$899 is $141 above the CT average of $758. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
