Dealer add-ons

Every dealer add-on, explained.

Carlarity evaluates 33 dealer add-ons — protection products, service contracts, accessories and point-of-sale services. 31 carry a published benchmark range; 33 are typically removable from the order; 12 are decided by their contract terms.

Each page says what the product is, who charges it, the benchmark range with its source, whether it is negotiable, and what the report checks — in the taxonomy’s own words.

How to use this

Optional is not the same as worthless. Expensive is not the same as improper.

A benchmark range says what the product commonly sells for from the sources cited. A product above its range is a negotiation, not an accusation; a product with no benchmark is evaluated from its contract terms. Your report puts your actual quote against these ranges, keeps the government and lender lines out of the negotiable total, and gives you the exact question to ask for each line.
