About

CarThrive is an independent car shopping research site for New England. It profiles 861 dealerships across all six states with Google ratings and reviews, publishes 58 best dealership guides by brand and city, and grades 732 dealerships on dealer fee transparency: how much each store charges in documentation fees, whether that fee is included in the advertised price, and how clearly it is disclosed, all scored on a published rubric from each dealer's own pricing. CarThrive also publishes model comparisons and rankings grounded in verified specifications and prices, so shoppers can compare both the vehicle and the dealership before they buy.
