The full story

Why Motor Werks Infiniti earned this grade

Between January 2026 and July 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 $308, 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 9% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $3,585 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 8.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,870 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
