The full story
Why Southwest Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram earned this grade
Between March 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 16 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 thingsAdd-ons offered — none required
This dealer includes optional add-ons (avg $1,895) in 6% of quotes, but none are mandatory — you can ask to remove any of them.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,313 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $295 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
