The full story
Why Thornton Chevrolet earned this grade
Thornton Chevrolet had 11 verified quotes reviewed from April through August 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, vehicle selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Advertised prices matched in the offers checked. In the 2 written offers compared with advertised prices, vehicle selling prices were within $1 of the ad; both averaged $57,677.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $532.45. The Median state fee in Pennsylvania was $490, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. The average was about $42 higher, though only 1 quote exceeded that median. One quote showed a single unclear combined-fees amount, and one did not list government charges separately. Ask for an itemized written offer that separates dealer fees, taxes and government charges, and confirms the vehicle’s selling price and any required extras before agreeing.
