The full story
Why Berkenkotter Motors earned this grade
Berkenkotter Motors is graded A; from August–October 2026, CarEdge reviewed 4 verified quotes, considering dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were below the state median. Average confirmed dealer fees were $389.50, below Colorado’s Median state fee of $740.87—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ Written prices were below advertised prices. In the three written offers with selling prices checked against advertisements, the vehicle price was $349.50 below the advertised price in each. These are vehicle prices before taxes, government charges, dealer fees and extras.
Where to push back
One quote did not clearly show the taxes. Ask the dealer to explain the tax amount and provide a written breakdown of taxes and government charges before you agree. As with any offer, ask for an itemized written quote showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges, so you can review the full amount.
