Locally owned, locally operated
The lot with a museum in the front room.
Two lots about a dozen miles apart in the northern Black Hills, 165 units on the ground between them, and a front room that looks more like a collection than a sales floor.
Who they are
A local business that sells what people around here actually need.
Striving to bring you a quality vehicle at a competitive price. That is their own sentence, and it is a modest one — but it is the whole proposition, and the lot bears it out. There is no showroom of identical lease returns here. There is a row of skid steers, a row of trailers, a line of three-quarter-ton pickups, a handful of campers, and a 1929 Model A.
What they will not do is add to the number at the end. No documentation or hidden fees charged. No documentation fee, no dealer prep, no reconditioning charge appearing on the last page. In a business where those fees are close to universal, saying so plainly is the point.
They also buy. Machinery, trucks, side-by-sides, campers — drive it onto either lot and somebody will look at it and make you an offer while you stand there.

The front room
Conoco, Texaco, Gulf, a traffic light and a jukebox.
The Spearfish building is a timber lodge with a green roof and pennant flags strung across the front. Behind the glass at one of the two lots is a room that has very little to do with selling cars and everything to do with why people stop.
Old porcelain gas-station signs cover the walls. A traffic light hangs in the corner. There is a jukebox, a Coke cooler, a Mustang and a Beetle parked indoors under the lot of it. It is the kind of room that tells you the people running the place like old vehicles for their own sake — which is worth knowing when the thing you are looking at is sixty years old.
Who you will be talking to
Four names and their cell numbers.
They publish the direct cell number of every salesperson on both lots. That is not normal, and it is the most useful thing on their old website — so it is here too.

There is also a mascot. Her name is Moka, and she is listed on their contact page with the rest of the staff, which tells you roughly everything about the place.
Two lots, two numbers

Stock turns daily, and the person who can tell you what a unit is really like is the person standing next to it. Ring either lot and they will tell you which one it is standing on today.
