The full story
Why Toyota Place earned this grade
Between October 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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
3 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $85, their doc fee sits at or just under the CA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Add-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 29% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $5,433 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
