The full story

Why St. Mina Auto Sales earned this grade

St. Mina Auto Sales had five eligible quotes reviewed by CarEdge from March through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

No clear pricing or fee-transparency strength stands out in these quotes.

Where to push back

Average confirmed dealer fees were $114.95, slightly below the $117 Median state fee in CA, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. However, fees exceeded that median in 4 of 5 quotes, and 3 quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees. In one quote, taxes were unclear; another did not show government charges separately. These details are reasons to ask for a complete breakdown, not proof of an improper charge. Before agreeing, ask: “Can you give me an itemized written offer showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges?”

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 St. Mina Auto Sales in Montclair, CA, that has meant 5 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal 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%.
