Shawen at SD Pl82 IS THE BEST! THANK YOU SHAWEN!!!
I needed these services and shopped around interviewing every company in the business. I was a little nervous since it was out of state and I'd never done this before. After talking with Shawen, he sounded nice and honest so I went with him. He was fantastic!! He was punctual, efficient, always gave updates, and delivered always as he said he would! Further, he was always a polite gentleman! In the future, I will never go anywhere else! And Shawen will take care of you!! You're in the best hands with Shawen!!!

Registering our RV in South Dakota
We worked with SDPL8S to register our RV in SD. The experience was top notch, easy and the only way to do this. It is very difficult to find anyone, especially through media today that you can trust, will do what they say they will and provide a good service at a fair price. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

No hassle vehicle transfers
I contacted them to make a vehicle license transfer from my state to South Dakota. They supplied me with all the knowledge that I needed their fees were very reasonable And timely communication was excellent throughout the whole process I would highly recommend them. They handled two different transfers with great results if you're looking to license your vehicle in the state of South Dakota I don't recommend going anywhere else.
