The full story
Why Groove Toyota earned this grade
Between January 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 25 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
2 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 4% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $2,876 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 6 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $3,723 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$799 is $190 above the CO average of $609. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 6.6% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,310 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.

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 Groove Toyota in Englewood, CO, that has meant 25 verified OTD quotes across 6 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
Fee Transparency
30%Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.
Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
30%Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.
Data Quality
