The full story
Why Mike Calvert Toyota earned this grade
Between August 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 35 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
4 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $226 below the TX average of $226. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Mandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 14% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $2,073 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,783 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
