Attorney General Larry Long and Revenue Secretary Gary Viken Offer Support to Dan Nelson Customers

PIERRE, S.D. –   Attorney General Larry Long and Revenue and Regulation Secretary Gary Viken want to remind consumers that help is available for Dan Nelson customers. The recent closing of the Dan Nelson Automotive dealerships in Sioux Falls and Rapid City has caused some concern among buyers.

“My Consumer Protection Division assists dozens of consumers with a variety of issues,” said Long, “and we stand ready to assist consumers with concerns about Dan Nelson Automotive. Consumer Investigators mediated complaints prior to the closure and will continue to do so.”

“The Motor Vehicle Division will assist consumers with title issues; however, there may be situations where it will be necessary for consumers to seek legal counsel, depending upon the circumstance,” said Motor Vehicle Division Director Deb Hillmer. 

Long said that his office and the Department of Revenue are also working with MetaBank to resolve issues as they arise in connection with the closure of the Dan Nelson Automotive dealerships.  Consumers who have questions or complaints can contact the Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-300-1986 or the Motor Vehicle Division at 605-773-3541.
