In 2004 AutoEx was "born" in Salem, SD. The owners of the Autoex project picked Salem for definite reasons. Salem is a small community "blessed" with a unique location; it is the junction of SD Highway 38 and US Highway 81, and being only 3 miles from interstate 90. AutoEx has a very advantageous location, especially given the steady growth of McCook county and southeastern SD. Salem is also comfortably "sandwiched" between Sioux Falls and Mitchell, and is a short 30 minute drive from Madison. Salem is a prosperous community that was fortunate to have survived and even prospered through the 80's. Given these, and so many other positive factors, Salem was the right choice to locate for this new business.

New business is hardly a fair description because AutoEx is also "blessed" with a "built-in" clientele of trusting customers who know the owners personally. They knew both Dick and John were from the Salem /McCook county area, and  have worked and owned business's here since the early 70's, and that Dick and John have been in the automotive field since their teen's, earning a reputation for "doing things right"!  John and Dick have shared this dream to own and operate an automobile dealership with a high-caliber repair facility, giving customers reason to come back time and again. From the start, they decided to demonstrate this philosophy by offering excellence with quality vehicles, and backing them up with expert service.

A new facility was built on Highway 81, right in the middle of Salem, and is equipped with the latest in diagnostic equipment, lifts, etc. Services offered are tune-ups, transmission / drive-line service, engine repair/replacement, as well as a full line of tires, batteries and various accessories. You will also find a large selection of late-model cars, trucks, vans and SUV's. Honesty and integrity will be the continuing order for this business. it is the desire of the owners to have customers feel as if they have been treated properly, with respect; thus feeling comfortable about recommending AutoEx to their friends. You don't have to need to be shopping for a vehicle or needing repairs to stop in...You are encouraged to stop in anytime just to visit!
