Huge shoutout to the new crew at R&D Motors! Gus is a total legend super honest, knows his stuff inside out, and is just a genuinely good man. Every time I’m in, he’s flat out helping customers but still takes the time to guide his team and make sure they’re crushing it. He’s a proper leader. Ashley is also lovely and her customer service is 10/10. It’s so rare to find a place that actually has this much heart. Best in the business!!!!

I am SO happy with my new ride from R&D Motors! Seriously, if you’re looking for a car, go see Gustavo. 🚗💨 We all know car shopping can be a total headache, but Gustavo makes it so easy. He is 100% honest and transparent about everything—no gatekeeping or shady sales vibes at all! Also, a massive shoutout to Ashley! She is such a rockstar and genuinely cares about helping you out with any questions or random issues that pop up. The quality of the cars here is top-tier, and the service is even better. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Do yourself a favor and check them out! 🙌✨

🚫 Warning: Dishonest, unprofessional, and completely unreliable. You should avoid R&D Motors at all costs. I was a loyal customer. I purchased a previous vehicle from R&D Motors years ago, back when they were a solid, trustworthy dealership with great people. Unfortunately, everything changed. They got rid of their honest and reliable staff and replaced them with people who are rude, dismissive, and completely lacking in accountability. Since purchasing my second vehicle from them, this has been an absolute nightmare. I now own the vehicle and the title is in my name, however, They misinstalled the tracking device that drained my battery and caused thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs. Both Mercedes of Austin and their former partner mechanic confirmed that the issue was with

My experience with this dealership has been awful, and I’m still dealing with it seven months later. From day one, I was lied to by Gus. Barry was the only honest and helpful person involved. Being desperate for a car does not mean I agreed to be taken advantage of—but that’s exactly what happened. I bought the car knowing there was a battery draw. Within days, the battery was dead and needed to be jumped daily. I brought the car back with a clear list of issues: battery draw, horn not working, severe alignment problems, steering wheel shaking and rattling, and pulling while driving. After keeping my car for 48 hours, nothing was fixed. I later discovered scrap metal had been added to the battery terminals. Soon after, the battery terminal began smoking. The car became undriveable. It w

I am BEYOND grateful for Gustavo!! He helped me get into the perfect car for my price range, needs and wants!! Despite my horrible credit, lack of proof of income and even having an out of state license.. Gustavo still worked with my down deposit and believed in me when I truly thought all hope was lost!! He was very thorough throughout the entire paperwork process and answered all my questions with full transparency!! I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future!! Thank you so so so much again Gustavo!! I will be referring all my friends and family to this dealership and to specifically ask for you!! 🤩🙌🏻
