Why Parkway Toyota of Boston earned this grade

Between September 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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 $509, their doc fee sits at or just under the MA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

The price you see is the price you get

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons show up on most deals

50% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $671. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
