The full story

Why Honda of Toms River earned this grade

Between January 2026 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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

1 thing

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $649, their doc fee sits at or just under the NJ average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

! Where to push back

2 things

Quoted add-ons show up on many deals

50% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $718. Expect to see items like paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, or VIN etching on your quote.

TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,470 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
