The full story
Why Hicks Family Subaru earned this grade
Hicks Family Subaru received an A. From July 2026 through November 2026, CarEdge reviewed 3 verified quotes; this is a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ One written quote matched the advertised price. In the one quote checked, the selling price was $37,678, the same as the advertised price.
Where to push back
Dealer fees averaged $362 across the 3 quotes, and 2 quotes had confirmed fees above the monthly saved Texas Median state fee of $229.75, the middle fee amount used as the state reference. Ask the dealer to explain the fee total and how it compares with that reference.
Two quotes showed a single unclear combined-fees amount rather than fully itemized dealer fees. That does not establish an overcharge, but ask for each dealer fee to be listed separately, along with any government charges, in an itemized written quote before agreeing.
