Doc fees are not capped like in many other states. Some dealers charge $1000+ doc fees. I believe the law requires that a given dealer charges everyone the same doc fee. So to "reduce" the doc fee you need to negotiate a better discount of the car price off MSRP. Dealer advertisements need to disclose the doc fee and electronic registration fee - another rip off.
