Which One Do You Actually Need?

Find Your Next Vehicle for Spearfish & Beyond

There is no single right answer out here, and we would rather you buy the vehicle that fits how you really drive.

  • An AWD crossover covers what most people do: the commute, the school run, an unplowed street, a trailhead road in the summer. It splits torque automatically and you never think about it.
  • A body-on-frame 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case and low range is what you want when you are pulling off pavement, running forest roads, or working through winter.
  • A front-wheel-drive car on real winter tires beats an all-wheel-drive vehicle on worn all-seasons — and it costs less to buy, fuel and maintain.

About Auto Choice

Your Local Source for Dependable Used Vehicles in Spearfish, SD

We are independently owned and locally operated — not a franchise store working off somebody else's playbook. We price our vehicles against real market data, and we take trade-ins that other lots turn away.

Explore Our Inventory

An Inventory Selected for Life Out Here

Every vehicle gets gone through before it is listed. On four-wheel drive we check the transfer case and look at differential and transfer case service history. On diesels we look at the turbo, injectors and emissions system. We measure brakes and tires instead of guessing at them, load-test the battery, pressure-check the cooling system, and go underneath to look at the frame, subframe and brake lines for road-salt corrosion.

Then we tell you what we found — including what the vehicle is going to need over the next 20,000 miles. You get the vehicle history report up front, without asking.

Inventory & Options

Spearfish's Premier Inventory of Used Cars, Trucks, and SUVs

We stock the full price range, from a first car for a Black Hills State student to a one-ton diesel for a working outfit.

Financing that fits

Nine lending partners, including Black Hills Federal Credit Union and Highmark Federal Credit Union, plus national banks — so we can shop your application instead of taking the first answer.

Rent-to-own, no credit check

Based on your income and down payment. Payments come to Auto Choice on your pay schedule, and the vehicle is yours at the end of the term.

Trade-ins appraised on the spot

Bring it by and we will put a number on it while you wait. Because South Dakota excise tax is figured after the trade allowance, trading here reduces the tax you pay. We will also appraise and buy your vehicle outright — no purchase necessary.

Tough Trucks & Versatile SUVs for Every Season

Half-ton pickups here generally tow between 11,000 and 13,000 lb with payload in the 1,700 to 2,300 lb range — enough for a stock trailer, a camper or a load of materials. Step up to a three-quarter or one-ton diesel with an Allison or Aisin transmission and you are past 18,000 lb of tow capacity, with dually payload over 7,000 lb.

On the SUV side, a compact AWD crossover gives you roughly 37 to 40 cu ft behind the second row. A three-row seats seven or eight. A full-size, body-on-frame SUV tows over 7,700 lb and still leaves cargo room behind the third row.

Reviews

Trusted in Spearfish & the Region: Hear From Our Customers

Twenty-four years on Heritage Drive and more than 300 positive local reviews. Most of our business still comes the same way it always has — somebody told a neighbor.

“Third truck we've bought from Auto Choice. They had the history report ready before I even asked, and they told me what the truck would need in the next 20,000 miles instead of letting me find out on my own.”
Dale R.Belle Fourche, SD
“I needed something that would start in January and get me over to Rapid City every day. They put me in an AWD crossover, showed me the real payment before I signed anything, and handled the title paperwork.”

“Credit wasn't great after a rough couple of years. The rent-to-own program got me driving the same week and nobody made me feel bad about it.”

FAQ

Your Spearfish Car Buying Questions, Answered

Do I need 4x4, or is all-wheel drive enough around here?+

For most Spearfish drivers, an AWD crossover on good winter tires handles everything the season throws at you — the commute to Rapid City, an unplowed side street, the drive up the canyon. You want a body-on-frame 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case and low range if you are pulling a trailer off pavement, running forest roads, or working ground in the winter. And an honest third option: a front-wheel-drive car on a proper set of winter tires outperforms an all-wheel-drive vehicle on worn all-seasons, and it costs less to buy and run.

Can I get financed with no credit history, or after a repossession?+

Yes. We work with nine lending partners, including Black Hills Federal Credit Union and Highmark Federal Credit Union, plus national banks, so there are options for first-time buyers, people rebuilding credit, self-employed buyers and ranchers. We also run a rent-to-own program with no credit check — it is based on your income and down payment, payments come to Auto Choice on your pay schedule, and you own the vehicle at the end of the term.

What is my trade worth?+

Bring it by and we will appraise it on the spot — no appointment needed. We take trade-ins that other dealers turn away, and we will also appraise and buy your vehicle outright with no purchase necessary.

How does South Dakota excise tax work with a trade-in?+

South Dakota motor vehicle excise tax is calculated after your trade allowance is applied, so trading a vehicle in here reduces the amount of tax you pay compared to selling it privately and buying outright.

What if you do not have what I am looking for?+

Tell us what you want and we will go find it. Our inventory changes throughout the day, and we can usually track down a specific vehicle through our network of local and regional sources — a specific trim, a specific axle ratio, a specific tow rating.

I live in Wyoming. Can you handle the titling?+

We do. We handle South Dakota title and registration through the Lawrence County Treasurer, and out-of-state titling for Wyoming and Montana buyers.
