I shopped around and narrowed it to 4 dealerships, Nelson was the last one I contacted. They did not ask what other dealerships were offering, they just came in with a fair deal that blew the other dealerships out of the water. The customer service was great and were willing to work with my situation.
"Thanks for the nice deal on a beautiful new Denali Yukon.
It's everything I hoped it would be.
The purchase has a good tax depreciation this year, but it's also such a safe, comfortable vehicle for my on the road sales business. I drive about 30,000 plus miles each year, and it's the perfect choice of practical, and class, for the image I like to have with my customers.
Thanks again for the professional manner that everyone at Nelson Auto had in the transaction. Your entire team was very good."

"I am originally from Fergus and still have family there and while back visiting a couple months ago,I saw the Nelsons add. I brought it home and we were thinking about a new truck. We found one that we liked on the web site and emailed info about our trade. We were promptly replyed to via email and a couple phone calls exchanged and a value arrived at. Out of curiosity we went to our local GMC dealer to see what kind of a deal we could get--they came up with the same value for our trade as Nelsons sight unseen value, however, the selling price of the Nelson truck was a couple thousand less....we decided to go to Nelsons and buy the vehicle. We are enjoying our new truck and highly recommend Nelson GMC...they have the best prices and service!"

"I would like to note that Mark Morris was a pleasure to deal with, and is an asset to your staff. Mark was not a high pressure salesman, and really worked with us to make sure we were happy with our purchase. There was an auto start that was added to the car and that was also taken care of in a timely satisfactory manner. I will definitely look to Mark Morris and Nelson Dodge the next time I am in the market for a new vehicle."
Thanks again, Jim January 15, 2013
"I just want to say what an awesome experience it was to purchase my 2010 Mercury Milan from Mark Morris. When I came to Nelson, I was looking to get out of my G6 and into something a little newer that got better mileage than my G6. After looking at the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, my heart was set on the Fusion. When asked what were something's I wanted in the car, I felt I was being picky because I'm still young enough that I love having my moonroof in the old car that I wanted it in my new one. I wanted it between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, because I felt it was low enough to still put into my budget and color, I didn't want black or red because of gravel and my yard having about 6 red vehicles in it. So I wanted either Silver, White or Blue. Another thing was cloth interior, I'm not a huge fan of leather so cloth fits me better. When Mark called to tell me that they had picked up a Milan with a moonroof, cloth interior and Blue, I was excited! Sure, I know it wasn't a Fusion but it was the same car but different decals on it! When it came down to everything, I must say that Mark is one hell of a salesman! I am very happy with my choice in salesman and my new vehicle I purchased from Nelson Ford!!"

Peter Eikren - Sept 26, 2012"I have found Mark and the Nelson dealership to be honest, fair and reliable when I have been dealing on many different purchases of automobiles. Mark's professional approach has made it a pleasure to buy a car. Mark and his bosses have helped my wife and I through some trying times with cars that have made ownership a problem. Because of Mark and the Nelson's dealership's integrity, I am very glad to recommend them to you."

"I just bought a new half ton GMC Sierra Crew Cab SLT pickup from Nelson's. My salesman was Mark Morris and it was just great to work with him. We did the sale over the phone and it worked out very well. Mark was so professional and organized ? very easy to work with. I couldn't have been more pleased. I will be recommending Nelson's to my friends and family as the place to buy a vehicle."

Mark Morris made it so easy to get us into our new Fusion! The whole staff was kind and courteous from start to finish. They are also great with follow up calls to make sure you were completely satisfied with your buying experience

Linda B Aug 11, 2011. About a week ago we purchased our very first new car, and the nelson experience was great. Everyone is so friendly and they remember you when you return and you are a person and not just an account number. Mark Morris is a excellent and very knowledgeable sales person. We went in on Friday and picked up our car on Saturday. Elliot did a great job of getting the paperwork done in a very timely maner. I can honestly say that we will be back for our next car or truck whenever that may be

All of the contact that I had with the staff at Nelson Ford was very professional. They addressed all of my concerns and questions. Great buying experience!
by D&K from Underwood, MN |
We were pleased with our first experience and appreciate what we think is a very good value on a quality vehicle. Jim Boid was patient in listening to our numerous questions and did a nice job of explaining the features of our "new-to-us" vehicle. Thank you.
by Walkers from Detroit Lakes MN |
We had been looking for a new car (not aggressivly) and Jim Boid was our sales rep. He was very patient and not pushy at all! We finally found the car that we wanted and everything went very fast and smooth!! i couldnt have asked for a better company to buy a car from it was worth the hour drive. other salesmen were also very nice while we were waiting for our paperwork to go through! thanks again

"We had been looking for the "right" pickup with great incentives for a significant amount of time. We had made multiple calls on pickups over a years' time to multiple dealerships with unsuccessful results either to the truck of interest being overpriced or ending up with a lowball trade in value. Then Jim Boid sent me an email on a truck that was a super deal, though that truck was gone when we came to Fergus Falls, Jim showed us a beautiful pearl white GMC that we fell in love with and thinking it was way out of our price range. The amount for our trade in was excellent and with all the rebates on that pearl white GMC it gave us the opportunity to buy it. When we came to purchase the truck was on a Saturday and all the great employees at Nelson worked at a great pace to help us make this purchase as quickly as possible (even though our kids were a terror). Jim worked very hard to make our purchase top notch and he succeeded at that with a very happy customer with a truck that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Jim Boid for taking care of all our needs and we will be back in the future for the wife's vehicle upgrade."
Bruce W Nilson, November 29, 2012
"My recent purchase of a vehicle from Nelson Auto Center and dealing with your sales person, Jim Boid, was a very pleasant and positive experience. I feel the price I paid for the vehicle I purchased was fair and the trade in price was also fair. You have a very welcoming facility and Jim did a great job!"

I bought a pickup at Nelson Auto Center this weekend from Brian Beck. I was very happy with the way Brian let me decide without pressuring me to buy. I was happy that he had personally checked the vehicle over knowing I had a long drive to get there. I felt reassured that Nelson Auto Center was representing the vehicle to the best of their knowledge. All things considered I would happily recommend Nelson Auto and Brian Beck to anyone looking for a good buying experience.
LakeGirl ? - Oct 18, 2011
I am so thrilled with my Yukon Denali! I researched some different vehicles on the internet and Brian helped answer my questions and narrow down my choices. Everyone was so friendly and really made me feel good about a process I wasn't looking forward to. Thanks Nelson Staff!
Garden Goddess- Aug, 1, 2011
Excellent experience! We found the truck we wanted on the web. We found the deal in Fergus at Nelson Auto. Brian Beck put the two together and delivered the exact truck we wanted (from Grand Forks) and gave us the Nelson Auto pricing. They worked with Wells Fargo to get us a great rate on a loan! When we picked up our vehicle it had the plates on it and a FULL tank (32 gal) of gas. Very easy transaction! Thank you Brian and Nelson Auto Team

The Nelson Staff are Excellent. My Sales Professional Brian Quernemoen has been working with me for months to find the right used vehicle for my needs. He never gave up, and when the right vehicle came along we negotated a very fair deal. No pressure. He listened to my concerns and did his best to solve any issues I had. I would absolutely recommend Nelson Automotive Group for any vehicle purchase. And Also their service department is very good as well. Shopping local just makes good since when dealing with good people like Nelson's
We purchased our new 2011 Terrain from you last night, Tues. When we left home it was to look at this car, I had no intentions on buying it at this time. I really liked my car and thought next fall would be a good time to trade. We dealt with Corey and he was great to work with. This is the 2nd car we have purchased from him and Nelson. We are very happy with this car and plan on taking a road trip with it in the next month or so. Glyndon, MN January 23, 2013

Mr. Garrett S. Dalhoff, 12/15/12
I would like to make you and the dealership aware of my most recent experience buying a vehicle from Nelson Auto Center. The sales representative that I was privileged to work with was Mr. Corey Eggen. I bought a 1996 Chevy conversion van on Saturday, November 24, 2012. Corey went out of his way to work around me and my schedule, to meet with me, show me the vehicle, take a test drive with me, and work with me on my trade. Corey conducted himself in all ways as a true professional. He was very calm and easy going, and I perceived no pressure to necessarily purchase a vehicle from him. Mr. Eggen made my purchasing experience a pleasant one with your dealership. I would not hesitate for a moment to make another vehicle purchase from Corey, nor would I hesitate to recommend him and Nelson Auto Center to family members, friends, and colleagues. Mr. Eggen is a true professional and Nelson Auto Center is fortunate to have him among its sales representatives!

Our 2nd purchase at Nelson's - great service, great follow up, they make it easy to do business. Highly recommended.
Freindly and helpful service, professional By BLjohnson from Breckenridge, Mn. | March 27, 2013
Chad talked me through the buying process and was very professional on how the buying process was going to go. My experience with Nelson's was great and look forward to buying my next vehicle from them.
by Steely Dan from Fergus Falls, MN |
I walked into the building around 1pm-Chad Swenson (after a couple phone calls) knew exactly what I was looking for. Gave me the keys for a test drive, when I got back we talked numbers. I headed back to work while Nelson ran the financial stuff-including a FANTASTIC deal on my trade-in....At a little after 5pm I drove away in my new Escape! I was dreading the whole 'car shopping' experience. And it was painless! Fast! And there wasn't any pressure!! Thanks Chad! and Nelsons for really taking the horror out of wheeling and dealing!!

Donna , February 6, 2013
I purchased a 2011 Silver Ford Escape yesterday from Chad Swenson. He was friendly and patient. Besides finding me what I wanted. I wanted a sunroof. I know that are not that many out there, 6cyl and 4WD. Has lots of extras too so I am excited to go on a road trip & try everything out! Chad was not a "pushy" salesman(I tend to turn away). He kept me updated on what was available from the first time I test drove a '13 Escape and an Edge. Chad gave me all the information I needed to make my final choice. I get pretty attached to my vehicles so a difficult decion to give my old '05 Escape up. I feel I received fair treatment and a good deal. I have recommended Nelson Motors to my boss who is looking & not sure what she wants. Also to a co-worker. Thanks! I would come back again.
by Family of 2 from Fargo Area |
We had looked online for quite a while and wanted to check out crossovers. Nelson had the best prices around. We went to test-drive a Ford Edge they had on their lot. Travis Hopkins had it warmed up and ready to go for us when we arrived. He explained the features of the car in an honest manner - it didn't seam "sales-y" at all. After the test-drive, he was extremely professional in walking us through the buying process and making sure we were comfortable and happy with the proceedings. The auto-center is top-notch, everyone was friendly and the place was welcoming; not just a small office to sign papers. Their finance center beat our bank's rate by over .5%. We were very pleased with the whole experience and know we got the best deal around. I would highly recommend working with Travis Hopkins and Nelson Auto!!

This is the first vehicle we have ever purchased
without looking at it or driving it before we made any kind of
decision. We are very happy about the financing you were able
to provide us with this vehicle and also the fact that we were able to trade in
our truck made it easier because we didn't have the hassle of selling a
truck. It was the first time we have looked at a
vehicle over the internet and purchased. Travis was
a very good salesman and met all of our needs. We never
expected to make a deal over the phone drive out there 2 weeks later and make
the final arrangements. We had dealt with a local dealer and they
in the past had not been very honest with us and had looked at a few trucks
when looking for a truck now and they were again not telling us the truth about
the vehicle we were looking at again and then our son sent us one of your
flyers from their paper in Fargo and we then got on the internet and were impressed
with your inventory and also that Travis had been up front with all the
questions we had about the truck we were looking at to purchase.
Thanks for being honest with us about the history of the truck. You
have a great staff there to assist with all the needs we had.

kristy o., Thursday, October 20, 2011 This review is for: Nelson Ford- Judysbook I recently bought a 2012 Ford Explorer from Travis Hopkins. I highly recommend conducting business with him. He is a "no bullshit" person. He got us through all of the paper work quickly and painlessly. Travis explained how to use the navagation system with ease. He gave us the best deal around, was professional, and did not waste our time. We brought back our Explorer to have a tow hitch and wiring placed. The service department was just as wonderful as Travis. Plus they were the cheapest in the area. Everyone we had contact with at Nelson Ford was friendly, which made what usually is a bad experience a very good experience. When I say everyone was friendly, I don't mean that fake friendly. I mean they are sincerely friendly and there to serve you. Nelson-Ford-InsiderPages 5/29/11 Leo G. I am so incredibly happy with my new vehicle. Travis Hopkins was courteous and very professional. I know I received the very best deal they could give me. I will definitely be going back to Nelson Ford.
Pleasant Buying Experience
By Bruce from Clitherall | March 27, 2013
We recently bought a new Chrysler Town and Country from Nelsons in Fergus Falls and have to say that it was a great experience in ALL aspects. Trevor and Scott were very attentive to our vehicle needs. We were able to obtain a very fair trade in price on our used vehicle. It is good to be able to trade at "home" and take advantage of their service department when it is needed. Rick and the crew always go the extra mile for us.
Hi, I recently purchased a vehicle from Nelson auto, and I was working with Trevor. He made it extremely easy for me, he knew my time was limited and he did an excellent job on explaining everything that I needed to hear. I look forward to working with Trevor again when I am ready for another vehicle. Thank you.

"We had a great experience with our pickup purchase from Trevor Funkhouser at Nelson ford .

Nelson Ford exceeded our expectations in the leasing process of a new car. Trevor had all the answers to our questions and provided the proper information for us to make our decision. The remaining staff was also excellent. Will recommend to all.

The experience of purchasing a new vehicle with Trevor and the team at Nelsons for the first time was very professional and curtious. I would recommend anyone looking for a new or used vehicle to stop in and give them the first chance, you will not need to go anywhere else. The time from walking in the door to driving out was incredible!!!

Chris Adams did a great job explaining all the features of the King Ranch Ford truck that we were interested in buying. We had been looking around at other trucks, but this was the best deal. Chris did a very good job setting up the truck for us , phone , radio & other items. Thanks again for the great service. We love our truck!

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I recently purchased a 2011 GMC Yukon from Nelson Auto Center. Finance Manager Elliot Thompson and Sales Rep Chris Adams assisted us with the sale. We found everyone at the dealership easy to work with and extremely interested in making sure that we were satisfied with our purchase. Elliot especially was very helpful in finding us the right vehicle and following up a few days afterward to see that we were happy with what we had purchased. For example, when we noticed that there was a small defect on the door handle, he immediately ordered us a new one to be put on at no charge. We really appreciated his taking care of us after the sale. Chris, too, was very pleasant to work with and very personable; my husband said he enjoyed visiting with Chris about hunting, fishing, and farming.
All in all, we would rate this car-buying experience as a 10 out of 10. We got the right vehicle at a good price from good people.
Brad K., Wadena, MN March 26, 2012

Best Dealership in Fergus Falls Minn When asked to write a review on Nelsons Dealership(good or bad) I was a lost for words at first,so I thought just be truthful and to be truthful they have the best and only place I would ever go for a new or used vehicle.
