The full story

Why Sanborn Chevrolet earned this grade

Sanborn Chevrolet is graded A. In April 2026, CarEdge reviewed 2 quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

No specific pricing or fee-transparency strength stands out in this small sample.

Where to push back

One quote showed $595 in required extras; the average required extras were $595 across the one quote with those charges. Ask what they cover and whether they can be removed or reduced before agreeing. Average confirmed dealer fees were $107, compared with the Median state fee of $117—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. One of the two quotes exceeded that median, and one showed a combined fee amount that was not fully itemized. Ask for a written, itemized breakdown of all dealer fees and required extras before signing.

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 Sanborn Chevrolet in Lodi, CA, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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%.
