The full story
Why Hendrick Toyota Apex earned this grade
Between July 2025 and August 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$799 is $395 above the national average of $404. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
33% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $166. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.

For Hendrick Toyota Apex, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes 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

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
