The full story

Why Sullivan Honda earned this grade

Between August 2025 and December 2025, 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

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
