Why Graff earned this grade
Between September 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 verified deals with this dealership.

Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.

Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.9% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
