The full story
Why Tom Kadlec Chevrolet earned this grade
Between March 2026 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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
2 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $350, their doc fee is within $22 of the MN average of $328. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 3 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 12.3% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,305 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
