How do I get out of paying a car dealership prep fee?
If you don’t want to pay for a perp fee there’s one simple thing you can do. Tell the car dealership to credit you the amount of the prep service fees on your contract. Simply refuse to pay it. If they don’t just get up and walk out. It won’t have cost you anything more than a little bit of you time and if the prep fee is $500 you will have to work many hours just to cover it. Remember, it’s completely legal for a car dealership to add these prep fees to your final bill but if you go into the dealership fore-warned you can save yourself some money.
