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 Stg Montclair in Montclair, CA, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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%.

Fee Transparency

30%

Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer include quoted add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent, the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer marks as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised price include every charge you have to pay? We check each quote against the vehicle page: dealer fees, add-ons, the advertised price and the discount.

Data Quality

10%

Does the quote list taxes, dealer fees, add-ons and government fees each on its own line? Each one is worth a quarter.
