! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $595 is above OH's legal cap of $398. 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 $398 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,190 in extra fees or markup.

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 Mcnamara Car Center in Columbus, OH, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.

30%Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.
Add-on Behavior
