Why Land Rover earned this grade
Between October 2025 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 verified deals with this dealership.

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 are the exception, not the rule
Only 29% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,143 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $795 is above CA's legal cap of $85. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $85 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
