Why Prestman Auto earned this grade

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 Prestman Auto in South Salt Lake, UT, that has meant 31 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 8 negotiated deals 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%.

30%

Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.
