The full story

Why Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree earned this grade

From January through July 2026, Herb Chambers Ford Of Braintree had 13 verified quotes reviewed. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were below the state reference. Average confirmed dealer fees were $506 across the 13 quotes, and none exceeded the Median state fee in MA of $595. The median is the middle fee amount in the state reference.

Where to push back

Three quotes showed required extras averaging $618, and one included a required-extra charge. Ask whether required extras apply to your offer and whether you can decline them. One quote also showed a combined-fees amount that was unclear, so ask for each dealer fee to be listed separately. Before agreeing, request an itemized written quote showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges, and compare the selling price with the advertised price.
