✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is in line with the market
At $85, their doc fee sits at or just under the CA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
75% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $1,145. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything, and ask them to justify every "required" charge in writing.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,505 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
