The full story

Why Smart Toyota of Quad Cities earned this grade

Between August 2025 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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

2 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $180, their doc fee sits at or just under the IA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

71% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $372. 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.
