The full story
Why Royal Honda earned this grade
Between March 2026 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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
3 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$242 is $181 below the LA average of $423. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 5 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
