The full story

Why Mcgrath City Hyundai earned this grade

Between December 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $378, their doc fee sits at or just under the IL average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 18% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,495 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.8% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,330 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.

Every number on this page came from a real deal.
