The full story

Why Ken Garff Hyundai Surprise earned this grade

Ken Garff Hyundai Surprise has 4 verified quotes from November to December 2025. This is a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

No specific pricing or fee-disclosure strength is supported by these quotes.

Where to push back

✓ Ask for a clear fee breakdown. Average confirmed dealer fees were $1,307.48 across the 4 quotes, compared with Arizona’s saved monthly Median state fee of $615.50—the middle fee amount in the state’s eligible quote sample. All 4 quotes had a combined-fees amount that was not fully itemized, so ask what each charge covers and request dealer fees and government charges shown separately.

✓ Check required extras before agreeing. Three quotes showed required add-ons averaging $923.33. Ask for an itemized written offer listing each required extra and its cost, and confirm the vehicle selling price against the advertised price; these quotes don’t establish a selling-price comparison.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Ken Garff Hyundai Surprise in Surprise, AZ, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes from the past year logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.

30%
