The full story
Why Ron Tonkin Chevrolet earned this grade
From December 2025 through October 2026, CarEdge reviewed 9 verified quotes for Ron Tonkin Chevrolet. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
No specific strength to highlight from these quotes.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $532.02 in the reviewed quotes, compared with the Median state fee in Oregon of $250. The Median state fee is the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample; it is a reference, not a promise of what any buyer will pay. Dealer fees exceeded that amount in 5 of the 9 quotes.
Three quotes showed dealer fees as a single combined amount rather than fully itemized charges. Before agreeing, ask: “Can you provide an itemized written quote showing each dealer fee, what it covers, the vehicle selling price, required extras, taxes and government charges?” This will let you review the charges and compare the written selling price with the advertised price. The quotes provide no basis for a conclusion about how the selling prices compared with the ads.
