The full story

Why Greenway Kia of Hickory Hollow earned this grade

Between September 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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 thing

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 14% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $6,287 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$800 is $40 above the TN average of $760. 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.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,190 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
