Why Serra Auto Park earned this grade
Between July 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 14 verified deals with this dealership.

✓ What they do well
2 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $387, their doc fee sits at or just under the OH average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
The price you see is the price you get

! Where to push back
1 thingAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
71% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $614. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
