✓ What they do well
2 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 17% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $995 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.8% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $275 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
