The full story
Why Jim Hudson Toyota earned this grade
Jim Hudson Toyota is graded A; CarEdge reviewed 13 verified quotes from November 2025 through September 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
No specific pricing or fee-transparency strength stands out in the reviewed quotes.
Where to push back
Four quotes show required extras averaging $1,595, and all four include a charge. Ask for an itemized list of those extras and confirm which are required and whether any can be removed before agreeing.
Confirmed dealer fees averaged $599, equal to Median state fee in South Carolina—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. However, 12 of the 13 quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees. Ask for each fee to be listed separately in writing. Before buying, also request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges.
