The full story

Why Tustin Toyota earned this grade

Between August 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 47 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 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $107 below the CA average of $107. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 47 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
