The full story
Why Jim Keras Chevrolet earned this grade
Between July 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thingsAdd-ons offered — none required

The price you see is the price you get

! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$899 is $220 above the TN average of $679. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
