The full story
Why Nelson Mazda Murfreesboro earned this grade
Nelson Mazda Murfreesboro is graded A, based on 20 verified quotes from December 2025 through August 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and how clearly charges are shown.
What they do well
No specific pricing or fee-disclosure strength stands out in these figures.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $886.05 across the 20 quotes. The Median state fee in Tennessee was $829.47, the middle fee amount in the monthly state reference, so the dealer’s average was $56.58 higher; fees exceeded that median in 16 quotes. Three quotes also did not fully itemize dealer fees. That does not establish an improper charge, but it makes a clear breakdown worth requesting.
Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written quote and have the dealer identify each fee, explain which charges are required, and say whether any can be removed or reduced. Compare the vehicle’s selling price with its advertised price before signing.
