The full story

Why Sheehy Toyota of Laurel earned this grade

Between December 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 2 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

1 thing

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$798 is $15 above the MD average of $783. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
