The full story
Why The Frederick Motor Co earned this grade
The Frederick Motor Co is graded B. From January through May 2026, CarEdge reviewed 7 verified quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
These quotes do not establish a clear pricing or fee-transparency strength to highlight.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $1,187 across the 7 quotes. The Median state fee in Maryland was $800—the middle fee amount in the state reference sample—and fees exceeded that figure in 6 quotes. Four quotes showed a single combined-fees amount, and dealer fees were not fully itemized in those four; that does not by itself establish an extra charge beyond the amount shown. Ask: “Can you give me a written, itemized breakdown of every dealer fee and explain what each covers?” Also request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, required extras, taxes and government charges before agreeing.
