The full story

Why Key Auto Group earned this grade

Key Auto Group’s 2 reviewed quotes are from August through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were itemized — Both quotes showed dealer fees clearly, making those charges easier to review.

Where to push back

Dealer fees averaged $899 across the 2 quotes, and both were above the Median state fee in NH of $599. That median is the middle dealer-fee amount in the state reference sample. Ask whether the dealer can reduce its fees and have every charge listed in writing.

One quote showed $2,098 in required extras; the other quote does not establish whether required extras were charged. Ask what those extras cover, whether they are required, and whether the offer can be made without them. Request an itemized written quote showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges before agreeing.

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 Key Auto Group in Portsmouth, NH, that has meant 2 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%.

Fee Transparency

30%

Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer include quoted add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent, the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer marks as optional don't count against them.

Data Quality

10%
