Why Harper Jeep Ram Chrysler Dodge earned this grade

Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 verified deals with this dealership.

What they do well

2 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$463 is $215 below the TN average of $678. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

67% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $1,998. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything, and ask them to justify every "required" charge in writing.

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 Harper Jeep Ram Chrysler Dodge in Alcoa, TN, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes across 1 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

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
