The full story

Why Groove Toyota earned this grade

Between January 2026 and July 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

2 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 29% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,687 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$799 is $165 above the CO average of $634. 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.
