Best car experience I`ve ever had, and I`ve had a lot!!!
I have had my dream car almost 2 years, a beautiful BMW. I have had the regular things to do, brakes, thermostat, gasket, etc. I panic when things happen and Rob and Rosie are always there to calm me down and help me work it out. Either through their shop or a wonderful BMW mechanic they referred me too. It has been amazing driving this car and even getting the work done on it. I OWE Rob BIG time!! He will put ... view moreme in a loaner, something he does not have to do. He has gone way beyond anyone has ever done before. He says, ""You love the car don`t you?"" And he makes it work. Unbelievable! As a drug counselor and also a priest, this guy is full of Grace! He really is as well as Rosie! This has just been a really crazy/cool car experience!

Buy From Them
My experience started with Zak. I spoke with him on the phone about what I want and DON`T WANT. I`d been to what seemed like a gazillion websites and car lots looking for my perfect car.
No one was listening to me. They were just trying to throw cars at me.
Zak really listened to what I was looking for and he also listened to what I was NOT interested in. We spoke numerous times and he continued to help me with... view more my search. Once we located a few cars I was interested in, I went to thier lot and looked at some cars.
The lot was very clean and the cars on the lot were very clean. I never got in one that was torn up or rittled with cigarette smoke. (I was SHOCKED at the other lots I`d been to. It`s AMAZING what people will try to sell you. Most were in horrible shape and smelled like smoke.)
I will say I have champagne taste on a beer budget and Zak GOT THAT!
Once I made my decision on a car, I was turned over to the financing folks at the office on 53rd street and once again, I was dealing with very friendly, HELPFUL people.
Everyone there helped turn a truly grueling experience into a pleasant one. I HATE CAR SHOPPING!!!
I waited a month to write my review because I wanted to make sure I got the FULL experience from them.
I will always go to R&D FIRST when car shopping.

thank you
Recently j bought a car from r & d motors a 03 murano!!!! When I bought it they told me that the car did not come with a warranty but if anything went wrong just come by the shop and they would help me out!!!! And 5 months later it happened. The transmission was failing. So I took it to a mechanic they were trying to charge me $4,000. I called r & d motors and they told me they could get it for a lot less! Rhey towe... view mored the car for free and got the whole thing done for $1,000! My point is they are awesome they worked with me and helped me out as much as possible. So stop by I recommend them hands down over any place else! They have a great selection of cars!!!! And great customer service!!!!!!!

Rare Find!
I would like to thank Jeremy and R & D Motors. I have found the experience with your company fair and equitable, which is a rarity in today`s world. If I am in the market for a used vehicle or know someone who is I would have no hesitation in recommending R & D Motors.

long time customer
I have known Rob and his staff for about 7 years now. I have purchased several vehicles, both for worrk and personal use. I have never had an isssue that was not resolved in a prompt and curtious manner. The staff that work for Rob have all been there for some time, and have all become friends, as well as business aquaintances. I would highly recommend R & D motors to anyone looking for a good used auto.

I would not go anywhere else to buy a used car.
I purchased a 1999 Cadillac STS with over 100,000 miles from R & D Motors 3 years ago and it has not given me any trouble that was not part of the regular maintenance. This car has been the best used car I have ever purchased. When I paid it off, I feared major problems in the works, but nothing so far. I can call Oscar anytime and he will respond immediately. He has taken care of all my regular maintenance to keep ... view moremy car running in top notch. Keep up the good work R & D family and Blessings on your business.

R & D Motors treats you right!
I recently purchased a car from R & D Motors. I was nervous in purchasing a car and having a payment again. I had no idea what I even wanted in a car. R& D Motors was so patient with me and even helped find the car that was perfect for me. About a month after purchasing my 2005 Jetta the check engine light came on, I was bummed to say the least because I knew I bought this car as-is. I still called out to R & D a... view morend told them about my situation they had me bring it in and with in 15 minutes it was fixed, the only issue was a clamp on a hose was loose. Now if I would have taken it to a different mechanic who knows what they would have told me was wrong or charged me. But instead R& D took care of the problem free of charge when they had no obligation to do that. I definitely would like to thank the R &D family for all they have done and will continue to refer all my family and friends to them for any of their car buying needs!

Small Used Car Dealer in Austin, TX Who Did Right By Me
My wife and I declared bankruptcy about six months ago. As part of the bankruptcy we were required to turn in our minivan. Since we live about 20 miles outside of Austin, we both needed a vehicle.
After turning in our vehicle we began the search for a replacement vehicle (used). It was no surprise that we couldn?t get financing from a credit union, bank, or even a dealer. Then we stumbled across a Subaru Outbac... view morek at R & D Motors. Actually, we found it online but it does sound more dramatic saying stumbled vs. found online, doesn?t it?
I called and spoke to Jeremy who was real easy to talk to. Since I didn?t want to waste his time, I explained our situation to him. He told me that R & D Motors did its own financing, and that they didn?t just sell the loan to another company once the sale was complete. While he couldn?t guarantee anything, he did say they have financed cars for people in our situation. Before they could offer any financing he did want to meet with me. It was the way they did things. Of course, I realized part of the reason why he wanted to meet me was to help make a sale happen.
At a glance, R & D Motors is one of those car dealers your mother warned you about. You know the type ? on the corner, 15 or 20 cars on their lots with a little shack on the back portion of the lot. The image immortalized in numerous movies for these small dealerships is often a slick lying car salesman.
My guard was up, and I expected sleazy sales behavior to show up at some point, but it never happened. Everyone was straight-forward with no game playing. It?s a small team of about six people that work at R & D motors.
The price of the car was a couple hundred dollars under market price, 7 year old car, terrific condition, with just over 95,000 miles.
R & D allowed me to take the car to my mechanic for inspection, and we even negotiated a couple of minor repairs based on my mechanics inspection report (good car with no major issues was his verdict).
We needed the car ASAP and they agreed to do the negotiated minor repairs afterwards. I was a bit nervous about this arrangement, but I wasn?t going to stress over it. Guess what? They did the repairs after the sale as promised.
Great attitude and follow up. They have won us over. By their actions they proved to both my wife and myself that they really do care for their customers!
There has been only one negative in getting a car from R & D Motors. It?s the 18% interest we are paying on our car loan. Is the interest rate on our loan from R & D Motors high? Absolutely.
While I wish it was lower, I?m also a realist. We were fresh out of a bankruptcy with besmirched credit records. We didn?t have the money to pay cash, and standard car financing was closed to us. Our only other financing option was DriveTime. Do a Google search for them and you?ll understand why I really wanted to avoid DriveTime. Our financial situation is already turning around and we are anticipating paying off our R & D auto loan early.
In summary, my wife and I really needed a vehicle and R & D Motors came through for us. I?m happy to have done this review. I?m not much of a writer. It took me an hour to compose, and edit this review to make it semi-legible. If this review brings them a customer or two, good for them. They deserve the business.
