Local auto dealer comes to MAGA Motors victims rescue [Video]

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) — With the eager anticipation of a child galloping down the stairs to the living room on Christmas morning, Amanda Galloway walked into the repair garage at Vern Eide Motors in Sioux Falls on Saturday morning to reunite with her 2008 Chevy Impala.

Oh, the seven month journey — well, ordeal — both Galloway and the car had been put through by a now-closed repair shop called “MAGA Motors,” which is facing several lawsuits, according to South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley.

Galloway’s eyes turned to saucers when she approached the car.

”Aww, I haven’t seen this thing since September,” Galloway uttered. Those same eyes would flow with tears once she opened the trunk. More on that later.

But first, she opened the driver’s side door to find an interior more spotless than when she purchased the vehicle in August.

“They even cleaned it, too,” Galloway said.

What a mess it had been, and she had been through.
