Administration Fee
Why Is There An Administration Fee?
This fee may also be called a “service fee” or “doc fee”. This is to address the costs incurred by our dealership that are separate from those paid to acquire the vehicle. The administration fee recognizes some of the costs related to compliance with federal and state laws which provide for safety, consumer protection, anti-theft measures, vehicle history checks, notifications, certifications, and official filings. There is much work and expense occuring even before a document is ready to be used, and there are many documents to each transaction. Before vehicles can be sold, dealers must invest in personnel training to carry out legal mandates. Not all transactions involve the same services, but all carry our many legal requirements and documents to support those requirements.
