Reviews of Frankman Motor Company (Car Concessionaire)

James Leger

Saw a 1968 Oldsmobile toronado listed for sale in Hemmings motor News for 16,800 $ American contacted them from Canada to inquire about car Chris Quinn told me the car was in fantastic condition as it looked to be in pictures I viewed asked if car was numbers matching was told it was I then asked about the motor I was told it ran great and the car only had 57,000miles on it I then asked how the tires were as you always have to change something when you buy a used car .I was told they were like new I then asked him about the axhaust system he told me it had a newer dual exhaust .finally I asked him if all the electrical and power accessories worked I was told every thing sorted fine.i sent a bank draft for 16,800$ American to them and arranged to have the car shipped to Edmonton Alberta by flatbed truck plus paid the duty at border as well as any import monies got the car drove it 3 hours then motor went I went online to investigate and found out they purchased this car at Mecum auction in Kansas city for7,000$so they made a 9,800$ profit on a car they misrepresented as a numbers matching car when the auction said it had a 1972 motor which was full of sludge and car had numerous electrical problems as well as needing 12,000$ worth of work to be roadworthy.This operation is run by severely dishonest people. Stay away from buying from them.

I had a less than pleasing experience with the service department today. I called to schedule this appointment due to lights being on my dash, the check engine and the airbag lights were on. They told me the car would have to be left for a while, hours, so I called yesterday to make sure they would have a rental for me. When I arrived to drop it off today I was told “sorry all of our rentals are out.” At that point I had to find a ride to do the errands I still had to get done. When I finally got word that the car had been looked at it was close to two hours and they only told me about the check engine light. When I asked about the airbag light he said “oh we didn’t check that one, only the check engine. Would you like for us to check that one too?” I asked if that would be another hour and he said yes. Why would I only want one of the lights looked at when I dropped it off!?!?!?!?! Then when I picked it up I was still charged a diagnostic fee even though I Bought the car and Warranty from them!!!!!!! Then to top it all off, I was handed the keys, told there wasn’t time to wash it and directed to go walk somewhere down the parking lot to search for my car. I will not be doing service there ever again.

Jim Swanson provided me with a great car buying experience! He was super friendly and helped me find the perfect car that fit all of my needs. I would definitely recommend buying from Frankman's - Great service and great people!

Salesman Mike W. was super friendly and no pressure or pushing at all. He genuinely answered all questions and made us feel welcome. We truly had a great car buying experience. this is the 3 rd time we’ve bought something from Frankman Motor and we will most definetly will do it again.

Jayde Schwartz

I found my Rover

Jordan Whiteside

Tony Bennett was awesome to work with!!! I have done many car deals over the years and an experience like this is refreshing. We got the vehicle we wanted and Tony worked to ensure we got a deal we were happy with. I would highly recommend calling Tony for any vehicle needs - even if you don't see what you want on their website.

Brett Bloom

Frankman did a fantastic job in helping my wife and I in finding our reliable and perfect GMC Terrain. Patient sales people and always willing to cut a deal. Thanks again Frankman Motor!

Sandi Ronfeldt

I have never been treated with so much Honesty and integrity for a very very long time. You just don’t see that any more. With all the companies in this world any more. You can trust Jesse James to take good care of you and be honest. Pride and integrity of this company is amazing and recommend them to everyone. So refreshing after dealing with so many others!

Sarah Henderson

Spent about 2 months searching out the perfect Suburban. We were very specific/picky about which options and exterior/interior color combinations we would accept. In that time we found only one that was set up exactly how we liked. Spoke with Sean at Frankman and he found an identical one with more options, less miles, for a better price....in all of 30 minutes. He had everything ready when we got there and we were right back out the door in our new car! We will most definitely be purchasing through Sean at Frankman again!

Kristal Tagtow

Had a great experience with Jesse James and other staff at Frankman Motor Company. Jesse was able to get me and my husband a deal we couldn’t refuse! Jesse was patient and kind during the entire process. Thanks Jesse!

Jacy Frye

We just had an amazing experience buying our car through Frankmans! Our saleman Jim Swanson was the most friendliest salesman I have ever worked with. He showed us great respect! He even let us take it for a overnight before deciding if we really wanted to buy it. No pressure to be committed and were helpful in letting us make the careful decision to purchase the right vehicle! I recommend them highly! Thanks guys we appreciate your business and I love my new ride!!

Caitlin Schwien

Brent and all of the wonderful people at Frankman Motors were great to work with and made the whole process of purchasing my vehicle simple and stress-free. This was my first time at a dealership so I did not really know what to expect, but I can say that I would absolutely recommend going to see them for yourself! They even washed the vehicle right before I drove it off the lot. Everyone was very friendly. You could tell that they enjoy what they do and that they want to give the best service.

Alice M

I have bought two cars with them. Both were very reliable vehicles. The service center is great. Nice and clean in the waiting area. They get it done quick. The only place I take my vehicles. I also like that they offer a shuttle service to accommodate peoples busy schedules.

Jeremy Puepke

Horrible service! Worst place EVER! Went there a couple years back because 2 people I knew used them and it was the biggest nightmare i ever witnessed. I wasn't allowed to go back and negotiate with the owner unless my initial price was within $1,000 of his asking price. Once I got back to his room, he would not budge on the price. Told me he had the same car in a different color on another lot and would sell that to me for the price I was wanting. They drove that car over and it had one headlight out and mismatched rims. A complete JOKE! I walked away disgusted. After this horrible experience I found more than one of the same car within a hundred miles for WAY cheaper, with less miles than what he was offering.

Randy Dobberpuhl

We had a great experience with our purchase. We bought a used camper they received on a trade in. Lark was our salesman and he treated us great! He wasn't pushy or in our face, just nice friendly service. They have an amazing team in the classic car garage as well.

Lindsay Hovden

We had a great experience here! Very friendly, straight forward sales staff with no hard sale. Knowledgeable about the vehicle and very willing and able to answer any questions we had. Both the the sales staff (Robby) and the business manager (Paul) were also willing to stay late and put in the extra time to get the deal done even though we weren't able to show up until after 6:00 p.m.. Car is exactly as described and fits our needs perfectly. Again, great experience.

Jill Thielbar

I have used Frankman Motors service department for 4 years and have always been very pleased with the customer service and quality of work. I have purchased 3 sets of tires from Frankman Motors for different vehicles and have always gotten a great price for the tire. I did a comparison to area tire sales/dealerships and the Frankman price was considerably less. I love the free car was with every service. Their waiting room is clean and the customer service has been awesome. Never overbearing. Their oil change price is awesome, compared to the "Quick Oil Change" places in Sioux Falls who rip you off and again, I get a free car wash with each oil change too! I've been very pleased at Frankman Motors.

Joe Peterson

Later last week I scheduled an appointment for an alignment on my pickup. I did this for several days in advance and got a confirmation of the time and location of the place. Never being here before I thought I would give it a try as they were running a $39.95 special for an alignment. I showed up and dropped my car off and everything was good. Shuttle service was great and the guys were nice while running me around town. I ended up getting a call from one of the technicians saying my car hasn't even been put in the shop yet, but another driver will be picking me up in a different vehicle then I last was dropped off in. Not a big deal, weird stuff happens. Then as we get back to the shop off of highway 11, roughly an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment, they were finally pulling my truck into the shop. About 25 minutes had passed and the guy comes out and tells me that they can't do an alignment because I need two things replaced before they can do it. Alright, not a big deal but I was anticipating a $45 alignment after tax and not over $625 in repairs beforehand! I told him that I would have to pass on it because it was more than 10 times of what I expected to pay. He then proceeded to charge me $38 for labor just to check to see if they could align it and the car was returned to me in the EXACT same condition it was taken into the shop as. May as well just aligned it even if it was terribly wrong so you can charge me for something that you felt would be appropriate! I will NEVER do business here again!!!!!!

Astarte

It was a fairly low pressure and relaxed environment, felt like a normal experience of buying something. Negotiation was straight-forward and not aggressive or pushy. I hope to be in again for regular maintenance and/or oil changes. Mike did a good job.

Danita Proechel

Easy to work with. Very nice people! Awesome company with honesty & integrity. Mike & Curt was great to work with!

Jayson Santi

We just picked up our new Jeep from Jim Swanson at Frankman Motors. We weren't necessarily in the market but when we saw this model sitting on their lot we had to check it out. We got Jim's name from a friend and he made the whole process pain free. One of the friendliest car salesman I have ever had the pleasure to deal with!

Tim Nutley

Mike and crew at Frankman’s we’re an absolute BLAST to work with. Absolutely no pressure whatsoever, answered all my questions in detail, and I walked away with the vehicle I was looking for at more than a fair price. I highly recommend these guys and will definitely be back!

Thomas Sigler

Well since I got a phone call, asking me about this review. I will update it.. YES! I got 400 off for a new top, the guy in the finance department says, Oh I tired 4 banks for a loan for this jeep. Well after checking my credit report. He flat out lied, unless they do it without pulling a credit report........ credit karma is great..........So I paid them $11,044.00 cash, to get my jeep. It's now at a shop getting the front end redone and brakes done. Had great tires on it, but they no longer make that tire in that size. Had to swap all of them off for new tires, at a cost of $1,400.00, because the spare is a 31×10.50r15. The tires on the jeep are 32×12.50r15 So let's recap, needed a new top got 400 off for the top, supposedly ran 4 banks to get the finance on it. That was a lie. Almost 5 grand later the front end will finally be right. Also had to change the tires on it, due to the spare and the tires being on the jeep not matching. So, yes I gave it a 1 star rating, but in my defense. Anyone else would've given it a 0 star rating.

shelly wallman

I wouldn’t go anywhere else but Frankmans motors. They have it all!!! Great service, friendly staff, and great financing options. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience! I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Tiffany Schoenrock

I had a super easy, fast, and great experience--I knew what I wanted, he didn't try to push anything else and I feel I got a great deal. I worked with Sean Speth and it seriously couldn't have been better. I drove away in the vehicle I wanted and had no regrets.

David Hughes

We started out looking for a specific vehicle on a specific budget. Frankman motors never gave up and continued to look for exactly what we needed. Once the vehicle was located they made the entire process to purchase easy and seamless. If there is something your looking for trust that you will get the service you expect from the staff at Frankman Motors! Thanks for everything we will be back again and again.

Merry Anderson

Recently purchased a Jeep Wrangler and worked with Robby Newell during the process. Very personable guy- pleasant to work with. There were a few items that were in the deal to get fixed. Robby stayed true to his word and contacted us to get the vehicle in within a week. One issue with tire pressure gauge arose again upon leaving the dealership and they were able to get it right back in and knew exactly what it was then and fixed it. Very professional abd overall good experience in all departments. Thanks for taking care of us!

Francisco Vizcarrondo

I just bought a car from here. Some of the best service I’ve had with a car dealer and dealership. I recommend 100%. It was a pleasure dealing with Mike

Andres Ortiz

Had the pleasure to work with Mike D. and Paul. By far this is the best car dealership I have visited and by far this was one of the best customer expierences I have ever had. These workers are more than willing to take the time to not just go over options on getting you a car, they’re willing to put in amazing effort to deliver top knotch service. Would recommend these guys x100

Jackie Cleveland

A true and most valuable positive experience, with Frankman Motor Company in South Dakota. I went at this for the first time, (all the way from California). They had the car of my dreams and not knowing how to go about it, and unsure of a major purchase online? Honestly, I was uncertain and apprehensive. Then, I got in contact with Keith M.! What a guy! He made the entire transaction, process, smooth and easy, he answered my countless questions and made things work and comfortable for me to understand, as if I were there in person. That was important for me, I appreciated the personal approach and professionalism. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT IT'S BEST; FAR and BEYOND EXPECTATIONS! I would do this over again, and highly recommend this respectful dealership to my family or friends. This is why I'm sharing my experience and review. I have my car. Happy customer here, thank you Keith M. and the entire team of Frankman Motor Company! P.S.- I would have given 10 stars but google issues only 5. Good Luck & Google on!

Nicole Lynn

I had the best experience with Frankman Motors. They did everything they could to find me a good deal in my price range and were kn top of it! I liked how he would text me details also so much more personable! I ultimately decided on going different way BUT i would definitely consider going to frankmans in the future!

Kelsi Tobin

I worked with Tony and Adam, both very nice guys. Tony kept in contact with me via email, as that was my preferred contact method, and set aside time for me to look at the vehicle 1 on 1. I feel that I got a fair trade-in on my car and satisfied with my purchase. Their method of trade-ins/selling cars is different than others, as they give you the best price up front. I will most likely purchase a car from them in the future and would highly recommend!

Jon Hintz

So far my wife and I have purchased three vehicles from frankman and we dealt with lark all three times the entire staff is very professional and always willing to help you. Lark is a phenomenal salesman I suggest him to anybody looking for someone who is honest and fair and will treat you the way you deserve.

Morgan Prins

Tony did a great job of making us feel comfortable. It was a very quick, relaxed, no pressure experience. Also, it was the best experience in finance I have ever had. It was the smoothest and most painless vehicle shopping we could have asked for. We found exactly what we were looking for and couldn't be happier with our purchase. Thanks guys :-)

Butch H

We stopped at Frankmans to "look and touch". They made us a deal that was outstanding and we drove away in a Toyota Highlander. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a vehicles. Thanks Dustin and Jesse

jason walsh

In January I bought a high mileage used car from Frankman. Being an inexpensive high mileage used car I was well aware it might need repairs sooner than other cars. A month later it require some work so I asked Frankman to look over the car in detail and tell me of any future work the car might need. A couple months later a pretty large repair was needed that should of been discovered earlier. Frankman worked with me and got the repair done in a fair way. I commend them on doing the right thing, not every business will do that. It is treating customers like this and doing the right thing that gets great referrals and clients for life. I would recommend them to anyone.

David Schulz

Great experience! Mike at Frankman’s was honest, low pressure, easy to work with and personable. They allowed me to test drive the vehicle I ended up purchasing for 4 days to make sure I liked it, in that time I was able to have it inspected by a VW dealership. Just dropped it off for it’s free detailing and was given a loaner! I would buy from Frankman Motors again!

Ken Hurzeler

My experience driving from Minneapolis was very professional and satisfying. Jim S. And the rest of the Frankman Team made me feel welcome after a long drive. The 2014 Lexus that I purchased was ready to go when I got there and was everything plus meeting my expectations. I highly recommend Frankman and without a doubt would purchase another vehicle here as well as tell my friends. Thanks Everyone Great Job!!!

Mary Van Anne

Great experience. Friendly and curtious. Had a full service oil change. Reasonable and they washed my car! Highly recommend.

Kami Leih

We just bought our third vehicle from Lark Rau. He is a great salesman. He always finds us the perfect vehicle that we are looking for. Keep up the good work :)

Alec Potts

They were prompt to greet me in the lot. They gave me several communication options. I chose to text the salesman who in turn was very responsive and kind. The whole time I just had the feeling that they had my back. It was nice and I felt rare for the industry. Walked away with a great deal and even after I drove it off the lot they were responsive to some other concerns I brought up even offering free services and other items for the car at cost. Good place.

P D

Although I live in Indiana and found the perfect truck in Sioux Falls, Frankman Motor Company did an amazing job with what could have been a complex transaction. Lark was a great sales person, answered all of my questions on the condition / options on the truck. He was very helpful and was not at all a high pressure sales person. I flew in on Friday and he picked me up from the airport. Just over an hour after arriving at the dealership - I was driving home in my new (to me!) truck! Great job!

Jeff Dutton

We enjoyed working with Jim Swanson. We had a car picked out from their website and called ahead to make sure it was still in stock. When we arrived Jim had it ready for us to test drive. It was everything we expected. We got a good deal on the car, a good trade-in value and everything was done in a reasonable amount of time. We've bought cars from Frankman before, and would buy from them again.

Jennifer Thooft

I had a very enjoyable test drive...

Tim Boldt

Robbie Newell did a great job of finding the vehicle I was looking for. Great service without being the least bit overbearing. It is obvious the Frankman family loves cars and will do everything they can to get you into what you want at a very fair price. A pleasure doing business with you. Tim

George Overholt

I flew in from North Carolina to buy a truck sight unseen. Joe Frankman had been answering my questions for days. He totally took care of me. The truck was amazing. An awesome deal. They found a little crack in the windshield just before i came and replaced it for free. I paid to fix the doorlocks but they found the problem before i arrived and fixed it at very reasonable cost. I cannot believe how much truck i got for the money. It was crazy. And, when i got there, Joe gave me a tour of their very sweet hangar full of classic cars. I read the reviews of their dealership before i made my decision. They were mostly excellent and there were a few scathing ones. I suppose we all have our own realities. In my case, it was wall to wall excellence.

Lolo

We knew what we were looking for and what we wanted the monthly payments to be before we went in. We were offered a good price for our trade in right from the start, and were able to get exactly what we were looking for all around. Keith was very personable and professional. Thank you Frankman Motor Company!

Gene Tornquist

Frankman Motors is first class in all phases of their dealership. Jessie was very professional but personable at the same time. He was easy to deal with. I made my purchase on line and by phone. My purchase was as represented when I accepted delivery. I would definately buy from them again.

Caitlin Hodne

Mike, Adam, and Paul were Very helpful as we traded in and bought a car yesterday. With their help, we were able to get much nicer of a car than we thought we could afford. They made sure we got the best price for our trade in, and worked with us until we were happy with the price. They were very friendly and even stayed late to get everything signed and completed. We are very grateful for how flexible and accommodating they were!

Sean Speth

The greatest selection around with a friendly staff ( including me now) great service and sales deptmartment!! These guys do the right thing everytime...integrity is what these folks achieve daily!!!

Julie Stephens

Salesman was very helpful and the staff was very nice. We told them what we wanted and they found it. Very satisfied!

Irma E

Me and my husband were looking for a reliable car for our son mike w the sales man was very polite and not pushy. He kept us at the price we wanted to be at. We bought him his dream car a Mini Cooper. After driving it for about a week we noticed sound in engine that was not normal brought it in and manager adam gave me a loaner. Come to find out it was timing chain and pulley omg I thought but was relieved when I was told they would take care of the bill. I can truly say that this dealership takes care of their customers. Thank you Adam for everything.

Kami Rothlisberger

I had a great experience working with Robby Newell. He wasn’t pushy at all. The only compliant I have is after I spent a large amount of money here, I had to drive straight to the gas station because my tank was completely empty. Otherwise, I highly recommend Frankmans!

Melissa Bien

I bought a car from them 4 years ago. It was a great car and so when I wanted something a bit newer I decided to take a look here again...and I just bought my second car from Frankman. They stock quality cars and make the process easy.

Zane Peterson

We came in with 2 cars in mind to look at and they made the process enjoyable by being informative and not trying to sell us anything we didn't want. We would gladly do business with them again on the future.

Rachael Edwards

As a first-time car buyer I was concerned about every aspect of purchasing a vehicle. I had been looking at cars around the region for a few months before I checked out Frankman Motor Company. The staff and service far exceeded any expectations that I had about purchasing a vehicle from a dealership. Dave took the time to explain the ins and outs of every car I was interested in and allowed me to test the vehicle I was interested in. Jesse was able to sit down with me and discuss the logistics of purchasing a car and trading in my older vehicle. I never felt pressured to make any decisions, but rather the staff wanted to make sure I had all the information necessary before making such a large commitment. The used vehicle I purchased came to me in excellent condition, and fits my needs perfectly. Thank you for such an incredible experience! I recommend Frankman Motor Company without hesitation!

Brent Kooi

Overall pretty happy with my Frankman experience. Salesman was helpful without being pushy. I think I got a very good vehicle. Office was slow in sending paperwork so I could license it, though. In SD, customer has six weeks to do so; in IA, I had four weeks. I had to contact them a few times to get it sent out. But overall, pretty satisfied. (Would have been five stars and “very satisfied” if I hadn’t had to pester them!)

Jean Burr

Nice car lot

Allison Johnson

We had a pretty pleasant experience buying a pickup from Frankman. Jim was our salesman and he was very easy to work with. We didn't feel overly pressured to buy and not smothered immediately with salesman upon entering the lot. We felt Jim and Paul, the business manager, were both fair and honest. We felt like Jim treated us as genuine people and not another check. Overall it wasn't a complicated or pressured experience and we appreciated the ease of it all.

Ashley Zuraff

Jim Swanson was a great salesman to work with at Frankman motors. I purchased a vehicle from them and the customer service was wonderful. Jim was Very patient and didn't try to sell me something higher than the budget I gave him (which almost most salesmen do, in my experience). He gave me the time I needed and was not pushy. The rest of the staff was very friendly and some staff came in on their days off to accommodate us. I would recommend Frankmans and Jim to anyone. Very pleased.

Dj Carl

I came with the intent to buy the car since it was the exactly what I was looking for. My dad and I have bought vehicles from you in the past. So once again you were lucky enough to have just what I wanted on your lot. We've always had had a good experience with no hassles. I know it is not in your control what people trade in and you have to resell at times but keep trying to have the right vehicles on your lot that people would want to buy.

Nykalis Reeves

Living in Sioux City there isn't much of a selection for vehicles or good prices. I inquired about a vehicle late last Thurday and Friday Jim S. called me and we pretty much had everything figured out before I got to Sioux Falls. As soon as we walled in the door he was there waiting for us. The truck was even warmed up and all cleaned up. We drove it looked it over and signed the papers in less than an hour. This was by far the best experience I've had buying a new vehicle. I will definitely be returning and referring everyone I know here. Thank you all.

walt boland

It was great dealing with The Frankman staff. Jesse was very Professional, knowledgeable and fun to deal with at the same time. What really helped is the fact that He really loves His job and it shows. I will Highly recommend Frankman Motors to My Friends. Ask for Jesse James. Don't let His name scare You off. He and the Staff will work with You without all the Huge Dealership pressures. 5 Stars.

Clint Wisneski

This is the second vehicle I have purchased from Frankman Motors. They have made each purchase a stress free and transparent experience. They are very fair with trade in offers, and that made me feel completely comfortable with my lastest purchase. My salesman was honest and friendly. All in all, I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from Frankman in the future. Solid dealership

Ralph Williams

I recently purchased a vintage classic 1951 CADILLAC from Frankman Motors. I flew ALL THE WAY OUT to South Dakota from WASHINGTON DC TO LOOK AT THE car. When I got THERE Keith had arranged FOR ME to be picked UP AT the airport and we drove DIRECTLY TO the lot TO SEE the car. The car was immaculate and AND Keith HAD DONE ALL THE necessary leg WORK TO EXPEDITE THE deal. After all of that V.I.P treatment I still got " cold-feet" and walked AWAY FROM the deal. I was expecting THEM TO blow ME OFF and just LET IT go Well ,THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED.!! Keith and I continued to negotiate ON THE Price even after I RETURNED HOME. . Keith ALSO performed some FURTHER minor REPAIR S TO THE carand incentives TO PROVE that HE WAS genuinely ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ME FEEL SECURE ABOUT THE DEAL Well I eventually purchased the CAR AND Keith HAD IT shipped TO MY front door without a scratch. All I CAN SAY is this." Frankman Motors were THEE MOST HONEST CAR FOLKS that I HAVE EVER dealt with. Keith proved TO BE a man of INTEGRITY, and THAT WAS ALL THAT IT took FOR ME to be..OK WITH THE DEAL.. THANKS KEITH. WE'LL DO ANOTHER DEAL VERY SOON CPT RALPH WILLIAMS US. ARMY

Aleah Cochran

I was happy to hear that Sean is now working at Frankman. I have a few friends who have had great experiences purchasing vehicles from Sean and I know he is keeping his eye out for one, or many, of my dream cars.

Scott Knutson

Great selection of good used vehicles. Salesman was knowledgeable of the inventory and honest about vehicle features and equipment. I was able to find a vehicle and the sales process went smoothly.

Emali McGee

Tony and Paul were a huge help. Got a great car, and I am very happy with it. Definitely using them in the future.

Diana Burkhalter

My husband and I bought a vehicle from Frankman Motor Company last week, and the experience could not have been better. The process started by calling and asking about the vehicle, as we live four hours away. Our salesman, Tony B, was great about answering questions and checking over the vehicle for us. On the day we arrived, the car was up front, ready for us to test drive. There was no pressure, no sales tactics, just friendly service. After all the details were confirmed, the finance process was just as great.

Jason Eichmann

Great experience finding and financing our truck. Customer service is very good, salesmen and finance guy were very friendly and not pushy. Also they put up with our crazy kids while we went through the process! Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Marianne Johnson

Great place to buy a pre-owned vehicle. Friendly, helpful, and no-pressure sales and service. Talk to Jim Swanson.

Marcy Wittrock

Fabulous service! Great selection!

Casey O'Hara

Absolutely wonderful service! No pressure and very willing to work with customers. Definitely going to go back for any future vehicle needs! Best sale service I have had hands down!

Chad Noram

Great Experience. Before I had gone to Frankman I had gone to another car lot and was looking at a couple cars, The salesman we got didn't care one way or another about helping us out. He wouldn't negotiate price he didn't know about the cars we were looking at. When we asked him a question about something in regards to the car he just said I don't know. We left there and called out to Frankmans, we told them what we wanted and a price range and before we arrived they had vesicles pulled up for us to test drive. I dealt with Dave M and Mike D., they were great. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the cars, They found us the right vehicle for a great price. The Ford Edge we went with looked great and they had it detailed again before I picked it up. They made the whole car shopping process smooth and easy. I will buy my next car there.

Travis Ball

Went on Sunday to look at couple vehicles figuring no one was working. Was not even out of vehicle 2 minutes and already being approached by salesman.

Nicole Cave

Michael "Digger" was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to be helpful and made trading in our beloved vehicle for a new one an easy, simple, and stress-free process. We were very pleased with every single member of their staff from start to finish and highly recommend them! I cannot say enough good things about Frankman Motors and how welcomed they made us feel.

Jeff Grieme

Tony at Frankman Motors did an incredible job. From helping my wife find the exact van she was looking for, to making sure we were 100% satisfied with the entire transaction and process. They didnt have "the van" we were searching for at first, but within 24 hours they located one and got it to their dealership. Great work to Tony and team!

Greg Belfrage

Thank you for a wonderful experience, Frankman Motor Company! I was completely stressed out when my previous vehicle broke down. The team at Frankman was patient, calm and didn't pressure me at all. I told them how much I wanted to spend and they worked hard to find a vehicle for me that was clean. affordable and well within my price range! I test drove a number of cars until I found just the one I wanted. The staff even helped me with financing to get me a great rate. They even provided me with a loaner so I could get to work until my new vehicle was ready. Big thanks to the team at Frankman Motors for taking the hassle and pressure out of the experience! I'll be back at Frankman Motors for my next vehicle!

curtis scarbrough

Frankman Motor co. is, hands down, the best dealership that I have ever worked with. I have purchased three vehicles from them over the past 4 years and I couldn't be happier. Their service department is great too and takes care of all my vehicles as needed. The whole team at Frankman go above and beyond for their customers, but when I need to shop for a vehicle, my go to guy is Jesse James. I just let him know what I am looking for and if it is not already on the lot, his team will search and find what I want and bring it in. It is like working with your good friend in the car business.

Julie Storovich

You need a vehicle? GO HERE!. I told Jim what I needed and could afford. He gave me options to choose from. No Pressure, No Up- Grading, Car Facts with a Smile. Thanks to Kirk, the financing was fast and smooth. They worked together as a team to make my experience better. I came home in a sweet ride! I have purchased many vehicles but this experience was priceless! Good, Honest, South Dakotan's working together. Peaple who care. Thank You Frankman Motor Company!

I've purchased several classics and my experience with Frankman Motors was easily the best. Joe was professional, very helpful and facilitated my every request, making my experience seamless and positive in every respect. Great, reputable business!

Chloe Huck

Frankman motors was very helpful when trying to get a new car. Jesse was very friendly and the customer service was amazing! Everyone there helped to get the car to a price that was doable! Highly recommend.

WARNING! I bought a boat from Franksman Motor Company several years ago. They claimed this boat was owned by the owner of Frankman Motors. I asked that I be allowed to get an mechanic inspection before I bought it. They refused. They (salesman and sales manager) were adamant that if there were any issues, they would take of it. Absolutely, they promised! I brought the boat home, and I could not get it to turn over. My boat dealer inspected it, ad could barely get it started. My dealer said bring it back as soon as possible Frankman refused to allow me it back. Basically, every time you restarted it, the engine oil would get flooded with water. Within a few minutes, the water in the oil was was above the dipstick. The boat could not run above an idle. The engine block was cracked. It took several boat mechanics to figure out how carefully the dealer had hidden the cracked engine block. When we took off the exhaust pipe, you could see someone had tried to patch the cracks in the cylinder heads. THIS IS FRAUD!!! We brought it back again with the report from the dealer that the engine block was cracked, and the obvious attempt to patch the cracks which were hidden when the exhaust pipes were in place. Frankman told me to get it off the property. Since the dealer owned this boat, there is not way they did not know this. The boat was completely inoperable, and needed a $3000 replacement engine. I have to assume a prior owner forgot to winterize it, and the engine block cracked when the water in the engine block froze. The owner/dealer then decided to try to patch the leaks with a steel epoxy glue, and dump the boat on an unsuspecting buyer. The engine was bad and they knew it, because it was the Frankman's boat. There is not possible way they did not know this engine was ruined. Frankman Motors knowingly defrauded me as a customer by telling me this boat was in good working order, and that they guaranteed this. South Dakota has no laws that protect the buyer in this situation. STAY AWAY FROM FRANKMAN MOTORS!!!

I was amazed at the radical availability Jim Swanson provided throughout my meticulous examination of prospective purchases from Frankman Motor Company. Morning, evening, night-- didn't matter-- Jim always picked up the phone within the first few rings and responded with professional and cordial customer service. Frankman Motors professes to being a family business, and Jim Swanson is proof of that mentality. Buying a vehicle can be a big decision for an individual and his/her family, and thanks to the genuine empathy and honesty of Mr. Swanson and others at the locally praised dealership, I left confident in my vehicle's affordability and dependability for years to come.

Borys Banaszkiewicz

Great buying experience, the staff was very friendly, helped me out with everything and it was a quick and painless process to purchase a car from them. Car is just as described, and couldn't be happier with the purchase and the experience. I Would definitely recommend buying from this dealership! Mike helped me out with everything, great sales person and extremely nice. Did everything so that I would walk out satisfied with my purchase, Would definitely buy from them again in the future!

Ashley Weinzetl

I just recently bought an awesome Jeep here! There staff made buying a my Jeep such a great experience! Everyone was super helpful, friendly, and genuine. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a vehicle!

Erin TeKolste

Bought a vehicle from Frankman Motor today, Tony Bennett was our salesman. It was a great experience, no pressure at all. They were very accommodating and friendly. We left with the perfect car for our family! I highly recommend going to them-you won't be disappointed!

Chad Taylor

Sean our sales representative was very knowledgeable and explained the process very clearly. We were initially disappointed in what they offered us for our trade but Sean explained the reasoning for the offer and we were ultimately satisfied. We ended up with a great car, with a warranty, at a price and a payment we were very happy with!

Dori Bigner

Great service, whether shopping for a new car, or getting your car worked on!

Scott Feekes

I have bought 2 cars here and both have been exceptional vehicles for the value price I paid for them,

Darrel Petersen

Jim Swanson - Was very pleasant, knowledgeable and informative when dealing for our Buick Enclave. Very honest and friendly to deal with. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

Karen McGuire

I love this place! I just bought my 3rd car from Frankmans & they make the process so easy. Frankmans is the most transparent, friendly, fun, & informative car dealer i’ve ever worked with. I started coming here as a single girl needing a service center that i could trust, one I could afford, & a place that would also tell me about proper & pending maintenance to ensure my car would last as long as it could, keeping me safe and at ease when traveling on a spur desicion accross country. When i was rearended & my car was considered totalled I didnt know what to do with the car. After calling my insurance company freaked out i called Frankmans & whoever answered talked me through the steps to take and reassured me everything was going to be okay. They were compassionate & it calmed me right down being given the information to handle the entire process. If u don’t have a man in ur life who can be your guide when it comes to all these things it can be a scary & aprehensive situation to be in. I have turned my family onto this gem of a place & they are just as happy. Thank you to Frankmans & ur family team approach, i’m now driving my dream car & don’t believe I could have gotten the same experience with anyone else. Shout out to Mikey - he’s the bomb!

Anna Potato

The staff is always super friendly! I have bought a car from them twice now, and both times they have been amazing!

Jeff Wiseman

We live in Iowa about 4 hours away but through an online search found the Jeep we wanted here. Because of the distance we called ahead to "pre-arrange" the deal, they gave me a fair estimate for my trade-in and stuck to it, and they let us hold the vehicle until we could get there. Once there is was pretty straight forward and everything went smoothly. Thanks Mike for helping us out!

Brenna Longden

My boyfriend and I recently visited Frankman Motors on a whim to look for an SUV for our growing family. Jim and Kirk were such a great help to us to be able to get us the exact vehicle we were looking for with a great price and an amazing interest rate. Highly recommend Frankman Motors to anyone looking for the perfect vehicle!

Skyla Mendoza

Robby and all the staff were very kind and helpful! We made a great purchase from them and they fully cared about us as customers. Thanks for taking good care of us! We will be back!

Chrystal Schulte

Frankman Motors is the only place I will buy my vehicles. My salesperson, Lark, balances my wants with my budget. I have purchased 4 cars from Frankman's & also get them serviced there. All purchases have been very quick and painless. As you read other reviews, you will see a trend of people commenting how "Quick" they make the process. You will not have to spend your whole day on the lot.

JON GOEHRING

Joe Frankman was exceptional to work with. He asked specifically what I was looking for and was patient with my picky "wants." In the end, and with a little luck on both sides, he found me a practically new vehicle. There was no pressure from either he or Dustin, just their wonderful ability to find me exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Joe, Dustin and Frankman Motor Company. I will recommend others purchase vehicles from you without hesitation.

June Ries

When looking for a newer vehicle, I saw a 2014 GMC Terrain on CarGurus. Sent an email to see if it was still available. Received a response right away from Tony and he asked if I had any questions about the car. A couple of emails later a test drive was scheduled. Fell in love with the car, even though it was a little outside my budget. They worked with me on the price & I went home with the Terrain! Just over two weeks later the service engine light came on. Called Frankman and they said bring it out & they would look at it first thing in the morning. Received a call from Kyle in service and he said it needed a fuel pump. They covered the cost and gave me a loaner to drive. Plus got the car done earlier than expected! Awesome crew!

Kathy Lueth

Very helpful and honest people to work with.

Jonny Martin

Great experience buying a well priced vehicle. Fair trade value for existing vehicle. Jesse was a pleasure to deal with. No sales pressure and easy to deal with.

Alexis Nyberg

I felt like Frankman Motors did a great job about not making me feel pressured to buy a car, and they were very easy to work with on my trade in. Robby Newell was particularly helpful, and respectful of any space needed and time to think. They have very competitive prices in town, and we got an amazing car for an amazing price. I would 10/10 recommend coming here if you are looking for a used vehicle!

Jason Gerlach

I Recently came off of a terrible experience when I looked at purchasing a vehicle from another dealer. I was pretty apprehensive about looking for a new car. I had spoken to Lark Rau both by email and phone and was pleasantly surprised. I got what I wanted for my trade and was treated really well! They made car shopping fun!

Kellen Marson

I purchased a jeep recently and my experience was incredible. My car was totaled in a car wreck and they worked with me so that I could drive away in a car while waiting for my settlement check to come. Mike was patient, listen to my needs and matched me with the perfect vehicle. He was a blast to work with and I recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to ask fo Mike to be your salesman. Thanks Mike, I love the jeep.

Dan Denevan

Robby was great to work with. No Pressure and was able to answer all my questions. Robby went above and beyond.He made himself available to me on his day off, and when I emailed him with questions, I got an immediate response. Even after store hours.It was a really great experience. I would highly recommend Frankman Motors.

Fred Gardner III

I worked with Jesse James and he was helpful and made my purchase experience easy, pressure free and unbelievably fast. I can't say enough good things about this dealership. All the cars here are very nice.

Stephanie Heiden

We were overall very happy with our experience of purchasing a car at Frankman Motor Co. Robby was a great guy to work with. We never felt any pressure from him. We appreciated the honesty and respect we were given as customers. The Staff we met all were quite friendly and made for a great purchasing experience. Definitely would purchase there again. Love the new (used) car! Thank you!

Tab Patterson

I bought my 1968 Cougar from them. Keith Mauseth was my salesman and did an excellent job with the entire transaction - including finding someone to transport the car to KY. The car was exactly as described. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

Ernest Tarrel

I love looking at cars an.they allow me

Stacey M

Mike is freaking awesome!!!!! I love my car and had a great experience. Mike, you're a funny guy!!

Derek Moderegger

Easy to deal with, no pressure, great salesman (Thanks Jesse), excellent service.

Brian Keller

Jim Swanson is awesome. This is the second vehicle we have purchased from him. The entire staff at Frankman Motor Company are fantastic. They offer everything from Classics to Almost New. We would recommend them to all. We will be back in a couple years to purchase vehicles for our kids. Thank You Frankman Motors

sylvia alberts

Found online & Joe was very helpful when we went there. Bought car for our grandson. He was happy!

Robin Porter

The staff was friendly and easy to work with. They treated us fairly with our trade and the finance process was efficient. I recommend this dealership for anyone who wants a good car buying experience.

MidGrove Metal

This was our first purchase from Frankman Motor. Jesse James and Lark were the best salesmen that we have ever encountered. They were very helpful, courteous, willing to work with you on any issue that came up. Best of all.. they were not pushy!! We were also impressed with all of the clean cars there. They also have a shop full of classic cars to choose from. If we are in need of another vehicle FRANKMAN MOTOR COMPANY will be the first that we will turn to. Thanks Guys!!! Happy customers from Nebraska. Jim and Carol

Matt Jaouhari

I recently bought a car remotely (without seeing it) and worked with salesman Keith, had really great experience and Keith was patient and helped me thru every step as I was not comfortable buying thru remotely. Great customer experience and got my car over the weekend and everything he told me was accurate. Thanks Keith for making this so easy

Bob Downs

Clean showrooms, nice selection of vehicles, and respectful salespeople. I was in town for business, and stopped by to check out some classic and modern muscle cars. I worked with Keith Mauseth, who I found very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I left town unpressured and interested in one of their vehicles, and was able to make a deal over the phone. Keith orchestrated very reasonable enclosed delivery of the vehicle to me in Minnesota and the paperwork process went smoothly. Overall, a very good experience.

Heather R

Buying a near 50 year old car can be a disaster, and even more so when it's through the internet. One can get fooled into buying not just a lemon but a whole basket of them if he isn't careful. After watching the sales video over and over again I took the chance and contacted Frankman Motor Company. In no time Keith called me back. He was very knowledgeable about the car and took the time to assure me that it was an all original, as advertised. I never felt pressured to make any decisions, In a few days i took the chance and Keith and I worked everything out. In just a short 10 days the car was in my driveway. With wide eyes I went over the 50 year old gem carefully. Wonderful!! Everything was as perfect as Keith had said. It was a great process and an absolutely fantastic experience. You guys know what you are doing when it comes to acquiring and selling classic cars. Keep doing that!! As a classic car enthusiast, i will be sure to tell my friends and anyone else interested in acquiring a classic car to check you guys out first!!

Trash Panda0

The salesman I had Sean Speth didn't even know the most basics about the car I was interested in plus rude and cocky. I think he had been drinking I could smell alcohol on him. Frankman's has always been a reputable business but this Salesperson lost you my business.

Dan Geldart

The guys at Frankman Motors had me in/out in no time. Their customer service was top notch. Thanks to Jesse James and Paul Zimmer! Would definitely recommend to friends/family!!

Dr. Christine Duncan

Excellent experience, no pressure. They hunted down the exact vehicle I wanted, and made me a great deal while taking my car in on trade! We won’t shop for vehicles anywhere else!

Ryan Serv

Jim Swenson was a master of customer service. He definitely went above of beyond to help me get into this '07 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My kids love it and so do I. I'm truly thankful for all the help at Frankman motors. They were never pushy or outputting at all. I'm a repeat customer in the making. Thanks Jim, Merrill Abernathy

Jessica Jensen

I walked into the dealership looking for specific details on a vehicle. It only took Tony two weeks to find exactly what I wanted and I'm so happy with my new vehicle. We will definitely be doing business with him again!!

Evan Fey

I'll start by saying Jesse was awesome to work with and if he was the only one we worked with this review would be a 5 Start. The whole process from start to finish with him was so easy. The reason I am putting a 3 is because the Finance person we worked with made my wife and I feel very awkward when asking about our finances. She told him what she makes ( or what she pays herself) and he paused and looked at her and said "That's pretty low for your occupation". Not something you say to someone! His whole demeanor was not professional.

joe luckkum

Great prices on getting your car service. Called around and Frankman is always the cheapest and even has coupons on line that you can print and use. Customer service is awesome too! Vern eide is just way too expensive.

Chris Rerick

Lark was super helpful and friendly! He wasn't pushy at all, and helped us find the perfect car for our needs! THANKS AGAIN LARK!!

Dale Almond

Salesman wasn't pushy and everyone there was polite

Lisa Hagemann

We had a great experience! Purchased a 2017 Grand Caravan and I love it! Joe Frankman was very helpful. I would go back. Purchased in February and still satisfied.

Cody Aeilts

I worked with Robby Newell who was very understanding of my situation and what I was looking for in a vehicle. I ran across a couple of minor issues with the vehicle I bought and he gladly helped me get an appointment setup to address the issues. When I went to pick up the vehicle the issues had been paid for buy the sales dept. It seems that at Frankman Motors the sales and service teams strive to make a lasting impression on their customers to build a lasting relationship that keeps customers coming back.

Lynn Shoberg

Easy to talk to, understanding of customers needs. No pressure.

Anthony Chabane

I am genuinely impressed with my dealings with Frankmans. My last two cars were purchased at Verne Eide, and I have always been cautious of small lots. My wife and I were greeted after we had a chance to look around by a salesman. We told him what we wanted and the price we were willing to pay. He found a car for less than our price, with less miles on it and was still willing to negotiate. Our salesman was Sean Speth. He was fast, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He answered our questions and called us when he said he would. He now has a lifetime customer with us.

Lisa Mauseth

Great selection of cars, great prices!

Tim Potter

Recently made my first purchase from Frankman. Very easy process. They gave us book for our 2 trades and medium book for the car we bought. Very pleased with how that all went down. A few weeks after buying the car I noticed an issue with 3 of the tires, the tread at the rim of those tires was starting to separate. I called my salesman, Lark, he said bring the car down so they could have a look at it. When I arrived, Lark and one of the managers Adam come out to look at the tires and decided that I shouldn’t be driving on those tires and got me a loner. They decided while we were talking about the tire issue that they would just replace the tires for me. I pickup the car on Monday and expected to have to pay for the tires, the service advisor said the sales manager, Adam, was covering tires at no charge to me. To me that is above and beyond what was necessary. They proved to me that there are still good dealerships out there that care about the customer and doing the right thing. Frankman Motors have just gained a customer for life. Thank you Lark and Adam.

Mark Parsons

Fantastic customer service! Joe was responsive, courteous and went the extra mile for me! I purchased an older car and joe made sure that it had been gone through to a tee! Love the car and thanks Joe for a great experience!

Stonearrow Games

Jim helped us from the start and made the process as easy as possible. He helped us select the right vehicle in our price range, and didn't try to sell us a lemon. He was very easy to talk to and wasn't an aggressive salesman that so many people are scared of. I would highly recommend Jim and Frankman Motors to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Lillie Arndt

I have purchased numerous vehicles from Frankman Motor Company and I could not be happier! I work with Lark and he never disappoints with the options he has. Excellent customer service and simple financing makes the process quick & easy. If you’re in the market for a great used vehicle, call Lark!

James Pischke

Lark and everyone there made my mom really comfortable and got her a great deal on a car, 5 stars!

Drew S.

I took my ‘14 Taurus to Frankman Motors and am only disappointed and upset from the service I received a couple weeks ago. A month prior, I had my battery tested elsewhere and found out it was going bad and reading low amps. Frankman performed an inspection with an oil change and tire rotation and told me and wrote on paper that the battery was reading the full 650 amps. Not possible! When I recplaced the old battery today it had a hole in it and was slowly leaking battery acid. When I received the service I told the employee there’s no way it was reading 650 amps and he told me I was wrong! Not okay. I’ll never bring my vehicle to Frankman Motors.

Alesia S

I contacted Robby about a vehicle I was interested in and he was very helpful from the beginning...he responded quickly and was very patient with me. The only day it worked for me to come see it was his day off and he went out of his way to come in that evening to accommodate my schedule. He was so friendly and the entire process was so simple. I worked with his manager, Dave, a little, too, and he was just as helpful! I couldn't be happier with the entire experience and will definitely be referring friends!

Denny Comfort

I bought a 1960 Ford F 100 through Frankman Motor Company. Joe was the best! He answered my questions, negotiated VERY fairly and shepherded me through the process of buying a truck from 450 miles away. The truck was delivered (also arranged by the dealership) in a very timely fashion. I highly recommend the dealership and Joe!

Kristina Hornback

Awesome customer service! Mike Weiland was an honest salesman & even helped me remove stuff from my old car to new car!Financing was quick & easy, trade value was fair! For a lady going into a dealership alone I felt they treated me as a human, unlike my experiences elsewhere. I really appreciate how upfront & quick this transaction took & I LOVE my new ride!!! Thanks Frankman Team!

Punkyagnes Geise

We have brought three vehicles from Frankman motors and every time we were treated with respect and honesty. We also got a great deal every time. We have even made some special requests and they made it happen. We recommened Frankman motors very highly. Lark and Dave made our day Thank you! Jon and Mary Geise

Brian Gochal

Had been out to the vintage car section four times. Settled on a truck and after test driving, discovered it needed work done to be stopped safely. First the owners son acted as if he had studied at the "sleazy car salesman" school and graduated with honors. Seriously, this guy tried to tell me that a. The brakes were fine and b. he wasn't going to lose money to me by fixing the brakes... seriously. Told him to have his dad contact me. Dad did and we agreed with Xmas season in full swing and me going out of town, he would get the brakes fixed (surprise, they were broken) and then upon return, we would seal the deal. I come back and call with money in pocket to pick up my new classic truck. Dad comes on the phone to say they had sold it while I was away. They didn't even bother to call me to tell me that the purchase was in jeopardy. I guess the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Avoid at all costs.

Joel Bordewyk

Great pricing, good sales staff

From the moment I spoke to Joe Frankman l knew I would be doing business with Frankman motors. Very professional but very easy going as well. I test drove 3 cars in the cold the day I visited and Joe was patient and accomadating..no pressure ...just smiles.He communicated with me at least twice a week from start to finish..He even offered me a ride from the airport ....In conclusion my experience was awesome.....they know how to do business period..

Tanner D.

My family has bought several vehicles from franklin motors so I gave them a look. I saw the vehicle their website that I liked. I called Frankman Motors to talk to a sales representative about the vehicle. Jesse James answered the phone and was very informative about the vehicle. We stopped by later that day to take a look at it. He answered a few more questions we had about the car and then we took the vehicle for a test drive. Jesse was able to find a price that fit our budget and get the paperwork rolling. Very good experience at Frankman motors!

Dylon Hubert

We went to look at a few different vehicles that we were debating on and “Diamond” Jim was a great help. He showed us a lot of different options and listened to us when we told him what we were looking for and didn’t try to push vehicles that were out of our budget. While test driving the car we noticed a noise when we hit bumps and they just asked us to bring it back when it was convenient for us, gave a a loaner car while ours was being fixed, and did it all for free! Great people to work with. Will be returning in the future.
