$395

Fast Track Auto LLC charges a processing fee of $395 for all vehicle sales.

​

What's a Processing Fee at a Car Dealership?

A processing fee, also known as a conveyance fee, service and handling fee, or doc fee, is the price a dealership charges in exchange for filling out and filing the forms for your new vehicle. These fees were created when finance and insurance departments were separate from dealerships and cover the cost for paperwork and personnel involved with selling you a vehicle.

​

Dealership Processing Fees by State and Region

Ten states put a cap on processing fees, but generally dealerships set the price for processing themselves. Dealerships located in the same region usually charge the same amount for documentation fees. 

Most car shoppers will be subject to documentation fees, regardless of whether they buy or lease or choose a new or pre-owned vehicle, and generally receive the same price for service and handling from a given dealership.

The price of a processing fee is based on the dealership's location, not the state the shopper is from. For example, someone from Pennsylvania shopping for a car in Ohio will be subject to the processing fees set by the dealership in Ohio. This is different from sales tax, which is based on the location where the car shopper lives.
