The full story

Why Mears Mazda earned this grade

Mears Mazda is graded B, with four verified quotes from December 2025 through April 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges are clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were slightly below typical. Fees averaged $225 across the four quotes, compared with typical dealer fees of $229.75 in Texas. All four quotes itemized dealer fees.

Where to push back

Three quotes listed required extras, averaging about $2,030. Ask which of these extras are required, whether any can be removed, and request an itemized written offer showing the selling price, fees and extras before agreeing. The quotes reviewed do not establish how selling prices compared with advertised prices, so compare those figures directly.

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 Mears Mazda in Lubbock, TX, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal 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.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised price include every charge you have to pay? We check each quote against the vehicle page: dealer fees, add-ons, the advertised price and the discount.

Data Quality

10%

Does the quote list taxes, dealer fees, add-ons and government fees each on its own line? Each one is worth a quarter.
