The full story
Why Vermilion Chevrolet earned this grade
Vermilion Chevrolet’s A grade is based on 3 verified quotes from February–April 2026, a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and how clearly charges are shown.
What they do well
No clear pricing or fee-transparency strength is supported by these quotes, so ask for the full written breakdown before agreeing.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $611.63 across the 3 quotes. Two exceeded the Median state fee in Illinois, $397.13, the middle fee amount in the state reference. Two quotes showed dealer fees as a single combined amount rather than fully itemized fees. That does not establish an extra charge, but it makes the total harder to assess. Ask the dealer to itemize each dealer fee and show taxes and government charges separately on a written offer. Selling-price comparisons are not available here, so compare the vehicle’s written selling price with its advertised price before agreeing.
