The full story
Why Tri-Cities Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram earned this grade
Between September 2026 and September 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
1 thingThe price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$899 is $214 above the TN average of $685. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Quoted add-ons show up on most deals
67% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $1,228. Plan on seeing them on your quote.
TipAsk for an itemized quote before signing, and ask the dealer to confirm in writing which add-ons, if any, are required.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Tri-Cities Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Kingsport, TN, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
