Why Rick Case Hyundai Duluth earned this grade

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,600 is $778 above the GA average of $822. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.

TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.9% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,715 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
