The full story
Why Heyward Allen Toyota earned this grade
Between December 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 32 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
4 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $699, their doc fee sits at or just under the GA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Mandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 28% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $1,132 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 7 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,809 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.
