The full story

Why Holman Honda earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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

2 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $695, their doc fee sits at or just under the CO average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.1% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons show up on most deals

60% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $895. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
