Sotdorus Motor Company: Overcharging for parts and labor
I took my 1996 Jeep Cherokee sport to this company for inspection. When I set up the appointment I told them that I would need 2 tires and 1 headlight. In the meantime, to save money, I fixed my own headlight and bought 2 new cheaper tires for them to put on and balance for me. When they started to inspect my vehicle they called me and said that I needed front brakes and 1 rotor turned. They charged me $25.00 for inspection, $20.00 to put on the tires and balance them, $50.00 for brakes, $30.00 to turn the rotor and this does not even include labor fees. My total was $217.00! I called around to some other companies and realized that it does not cost $92.00 in labor to perform these tasks. To turn 1 rotor and put on front brakes including labor runs around $89.00. I've been snowed!

i am the neighbor of the owner, my comments are going to any who feel they have been ripped off by this company. i have and will dealt with this company. i agree that his pricing is on the high side but no more than some other local companies. sotdorus motor company is one of the most respected companies in the area. i would not take my vehicle to anyone else. his work is timely done to the highest expectations and they stand behind there work and vehicles that they sell. it is my opinion that the person to whom was ripped off did not research the company nor do any garages that i know of do any work without being able to give an estimate before the work is done. in closing "look before you leap"
