OMG I had the best experience buying my car at R&D Motors, all thanks to Gus!! He literally went above and beyond to make the whole thing so easy and actually fun and exciting. ​Usually car buying feels like such a chore but Gus has so much positive energy and was genuinely so hyped for me to get my new ride. He’s super professional and knows his stuff but also makes sure your having a good time while getting a fair deal. If u want a stress-free experience and actually want to be excited leaving the lot go see Gus!! 🚗💨✨

If I could give zero stars I would, so lets get to the juicy parts.There have been multiple issues with this establishment in the last 2 years that I think everyone should know and be warned about!I have bought three cars from them over the last 2 years.The first two cars initially both needed repairs and we were told by Gabby in the office that they would do the work and get the cars ready PRIOR to purchasing and driving them off the lot.They lied. Nothing was fixed.The Volvo we bought from them never ran, overheated and leaked fluids constantly from faulty parts they claimed they fixed,so we ended up eventually giving it back and paying ANOTHER $1000 to get into a different vehicle,after having paid on a broken down car for a year fighting with R and D to fix it.Then the truck we bought from them at the same time as volvo,they also lied and never fixed the mass airflow sensor they said they replaced and the transmission went out instantly.Their response to me about the repairs not being done was that their mechanic had been fabricating repair documents and saying he fixed issues on vehicles but never did,which I don't believe in the slightest.I believe this is the M.O. of this carlot and that this is how they operate, to deceive and sell consumers lemons!So what do I do after being lied to and am now paying on broken down cars with zero help or honest reponse from R& D,I write a Google review to warn others. R& D motors then took it upon themselves to come repossess my truck,the only vehicle running at the time despite me still paying on the other broken down Volvo.THEY REPOSESSED MY VEHICLE AND CALLED MY NOTE "DUE" BECAUSE I WROTE A BAD REVIEW ON THEM!!! THIS IS NOT COMMUNIST CHINA OR NORTH KOREA! THIS IS AUSTIN TEXAS USA AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SHARE MY OPINION ON A PUBLIC FORUM! So of course I try and go up the chain of command.The owner Rob is a JOKE and obviously has no spine and will never get on the phone,so the only person in the office who had any pull at the time and was honest was Rosie.She actually told us when we came in to get our vehicle back that they have had people with picket signs out front protesting them before.I wonder why?I'm not the first or last to be treated this way by them. So now fast forward to two weeks ago.We still have the truck and now another little suv to replace the Volvo lemon they sold us 2 years ago.I wake up one Saturday morning and the truck is gone. I knew it was R&D repo again,but had no clue why, as my husband regularly speaks with Gabby in the office to make our payments.She NEVER told us that back in June of last year, or so they claim, that we missed a payment. AND THEY WAITED ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR LATER TO COME PICK IT UP.Out of the blue, no notice no mention of it ever! Needless to say we are completely DONE with R&D motors. We've been paying on a truck for 2 years and are taking that loss because I wouldn't give them a penny more to get it back after how we have been treated.The owner Rob, still spineless and won't get on the phone.The only honest person was the repo man who let us know that this is an everyday thing with these people and there are SO many others out here being treated like we have. This place is a scam. They will let you pay on a vehicle and then fabricate some xx story of a late payment from A YEAR AGO and come get your vehicle in the middle of the night with zero communication before or after they repo you.These types of carlots do this so they can continue to turn the same vehicle over multiple times and in Texas they don't even have to wait until you are "past due".At the repo lot there was cars there from R&D that only owed a couple hundred bucks or the day after their insurance lapsed they go repo.I submitted complaints to the AG of TX, BBB,and now I'll be the one paying picketers and reviewers to post up.I'd rather do that than pay these crooks on the truck or other suv I still have, which will stay behind my locked 8 ft tall gate indefinitely.

This is my sixth vehicle purchase from R&D Motors and I am proud to say they have been a joy to work with. Yes we hit a couple ruff-n-tuff moments, but we were able to work it out and come to an all around agreement that works for all. That's why I've been with them d ok long and recommend them highly. Great work Gabby.

Great selection of vehicles, friendly staff, and easy financing. We fell in love with a Honda CR-V, we were approved for financing on site, and drove away in about 1 hour. Fantastic! Thank you Rob and Rosie for the fast and helpful response!
