If anyone is looking for an honest and reliable place to buy a truck check these awesome guys out. Everyone was very honest and helpful. The truck I just got is very clean and affordable and they were able to work with me to get me into the truck I liked most. they are definitely FIVE star worthy and if I ever need another truck down the road I would be happy to buy from them again!!! Thank you guys again!

I was skeptical about buying from Austin auto traders because of the bad reviews and complaints I seen against them online. But I decided to go down there and check them out. And I want to thank mark strouse and his team for providing the outstanding service of getting me into a truck when no one else would give me a chance they did. Been a few days since I I purchase my truck have had no major issues with it only some little minor stuff that i can fix myself. So far been outstanding place and will be purchasing another truck thru them. I recommend them. If u need a truck go check em out

All the trucks they sell have problems! And they try to say they are perfect. Called to inquire about a truck and was told they didn’t have any info on it, I would have to go in to see it but they assured no problems. Went in and another sales guy told me the truck has a lot of problems with it, that’s why it’s parked in the back. Tried to show me another that was “in perfect condition” but the check engine light was on. Was told that it just had sensors that were unplugged to make it have more power. Even though the engine had a high pitch squeak they said that was normal. Test drive it and white smoke was coming out of the tailpipe and the squeak turned into knocking. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!

Apperently its normal for this company to take out 3 monthly payments within a week and a half. Their excuse was well you agreed upon auto draft so they think they can take out as much money as they want whenever they want. This is extreamly unprofessional and I have never seen a buisness do this even with auto draft.

I’m a young business owner in the Austin area and was in need of a reliable diesel work truck. The buying experience with Mark and his staff was top notch. I recommend anyone on his sales staff. They were always trying for me as a customer and to make it happen. Ask for Sean to take care of you. He even reached out to me before I ever came in and I appreciate the open door approach.

This company is absolutely horrible the manger mark. Is a lying lowlife he wants money nothing else. We bought a chevy 2500 and 3 weeks after we bought it the motor went out. The power stearing pump and the turbo went out We asked for help fixing it he said they sold it to the bank and were no longer going to have contact with us. We needed to call the bank directly. He lied on top of lies 5k dollars down and 600 a month. Save your money run fast from them. He is a true con artist.

MARK STAUSS is a con man. Multiple people have complained about him. He knowingly sells trucks that are going to break down soon. Look up the dealership and owner if you don’t believe me! BEWARE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. We are out $6,000 and no truck. Mark you should be ashamed of yourself.

Jo
Review №17

Unprofessional sales person. The truck that was purchased has a oil pressure issue which they had me bring the truck back. When I picked up after I was told it was fixed still have the same issue. Have setup to have the truck looked at by a certified diesel mechanic shop, so we shall see where it goes from here. Well as you can see it didnt go well. I highly recommend staying away from this dealer.

Review №18

SCAM ARTIST!! Look up the owner MARK STAUSS.He used to scam people with his insurance company. Stay far away go to a more reputable dealer. Keep looking through the reviews and you’ll find a better place to get a truck from. “Cory”Just so you have an idea we are out 4,000 deposit not to mention continuing to have to pay car note and car insurance even though we have only had the truck a total of 3 days before it completely broke down. Had to tow it to the lot “using our money” and still no truck. Mark just laughs and says it’s our problem now. Just look this company on the better business bureau!

Elliott and Michael were both extremely polite and basically catered to all my needs. My warranty is absolutely amazing, quite shocking honestly. I would recommend anyone to purchase a car from these guys. It was a wonderful experience and they gave me much more money than they probably should have on my trade in which was amazing. They both genuinely seem to care about helping me build my credit as well which is basically unheard of in the car business. So anyway my point is this is an awesome place and I am recommending it highly

So I called coming from a different dealership that was trying to screw me over Elliiot was the one to answer my call trying to process what it was that I was saying. He slowed me down and said come on over w our in house financing were sure to get you in something that you like...down payment well work w that..from the moment I walked in it was a great experience very welcoming and just eager to help...Handed me a set of keys and said lets go for a ride... Very informational on the vehicle that I was test driving any questions that I may have had were answered promptly w questions answered ..All in all a great experience and if you in the market for buying a truck come see Elliot and the guys over here at Austin Auto Traders Im all most positive that youll be able to see what it is exactly that Im talking about...

I worked with Sam here and I really enjoyed the experience. Sam and the rest of the staff really knew their trucks and what their trucks. Sam is the only non-pushy sales person I have ever worked with. The prices were highly competitive (I looked across the southern half of the US). These were very cool people and the truck I bought was beautiful. I highly recommend giving these guys a good hard look if your looking for a truck.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE! Buyer BEWARE! 1st truck we purchased here broke down 3 days later. Finally got it back to them via tow, refused to give money back and fraudulently put us in another truck. This truck broke down 9 MILES from the lot as we left! We didnt even get home! 9 MILES PEOPLE, STAY AWAY!

Ok... Ive now had time to think about what to say. Every sense the 3rd Day after I bought the truck the check engine light has been on. Shortly after that both of brake warning lights came on and the speedometer quit. I made them aware of this and their mechanic wiggled some wires and called that a fix and told me thats all I need to do. The transmission issues I spoke of were just ignored. A diesel mechanic, highly recommended to me from a friend, told me the transmission is on its last leg and needs rebuilt or replaced. I really shouldve known better when the buying process was extremely fast. Like less than 2 hours financing and all. Im paying almost 20k for a truck that needs almost 7k worth of work to be dependable. I dont recommend buying from these dealers without taking the truck to a dealer to have it gone over professionally! I regret my purchase. Oh the woman in the office will argue with you and ignore you on the phone to carry on a conversation with the guys in the office. Go elsewhere!!!

Mark we have two completely different business plans. You sell broke down ragged out trucks, I sell well maintained lightly used trucks.All of these 5-star reviews are because of ME (Cory). The owner is refusing to pay me $5,000+ in commission money because I went off and started my own car lot.

The owner of the company is a liar and a cheat. Do not believe him when he says he fixed a car or truck before you bought it. Check the BBB website and do0 your homework for sure with this one. I quickly found out the hard way that they practice dirty tactics to get your money and you will end up with a think of junk.

Review №43

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!Austin Auto Traders sold us a vehicle that ran for 1 week and then broke down. They have a 30 day hand shake warranty agreement. I have everything date stamped through my loan company and document on there end. We drove the vehicle for 1 week, all of a sudden it started giving us problems and then just quit running. I reached out to UAC, informed them of what was going on (week 2 of truck still not running) I called and spoke to Mark (owner) at Austin Auto Traders, we had to pay someone to tow our vehicle from our home in Belton to his shop. Our truck was worked on for about 2 weeks. They informed us it was running and ready to go. We get to the shop start it up, everything sounds perfect. We get to the gas station pump some diesel back into the truck. Get 10 minutes down the road and it breaks down again. I called Mark and they hauled butt over there and was trying to force it to run. He ended up having to get it towed to the shop. Were it sat for about 2 months. Every time I called it was always something new as to why his mechanic wasnt working on it yet. He then told me the motor was blown and needed a replacement. He offered to pay for the motor and do the work. He claims he bought the motor and his mechanic would start on it. After time goes on, he then tells me his mechanic quit and he was looking for a new one. We finally got tired of waiting and had him take it to another shop of our choice (now we are going to have to pay out of pocket). Truck has been sitting there for about a month or two, Marks mechanic wired everything backwards or incorrectly and now they still cant figure out whats wrong with it. Total bill was $1,300 and the truck still did not run, they finally gave up and couldnt fix the problem. Then COVID19 happen and they closed the shop, so nothing more can be done right now. We made about 2 payments on the truck, I was hesitant to make the first payment. I was told by UAC that if we didnt make the first payment that the dealership would be responsible. I was holding out to make him responsible, but Mark told me he would continue to help us get the truck fixed and even sent an email to me saying this. We believed him and made the first payment. Truck was never fixed and we made two payments and mark started ignoring all text messages and phone calls.oh and 5 months later we still do not have our tags or registration. Not like it matters anyways, we gave the truck back to UAC and are done with it. We are not going to pay for a truck that does not run.

There is a few choice words I like to say about this place. No warrantys most of the trucks have band aides just enough to get them threw a month after a sale so the liability doesnt fall back on them the free oil change is so that they can retrieve the gps that they dont tell customers about

Review №59

Well I would advise anyone not to purchase anything from them. I use to work for them and the owner Mark is cheap and very rude. The Chrysler 300 over heated while I drive it to drop off another vehicle and they just let it cool down and parked it back by road for sale. The Chevy cut off on me several times. The gold dodge power steering is out and its impossible to drive. Every vehicle I cleaned interior is trashed.Plastic prices through out each vehicle is missing are destroyed with animal urine. If you think this is untrue just stop by. They couldnt even afford towels and products for me to detail . I had to wait every morning at least a hour until they got there for them to open shop. I had to use my own supplies. But if anyone needs their vehicle professionally detail look us up . And not they are leaving replies to justified and write lies about me. Only difference with me is that everything Im saying is true. I wasnt hired to repair anything. Just a detailed. I cut grass used my home to to take there trash out. Its so bad that they told Time Warner that there place was a resident and not a business for a cheaper rate. I was instructed to close the garage because thats were they told Time Warner they sleep. Just small things like that tells alot about them. Their upset because they dont have the money to pay me. Everyone knows me. Im straight but Mike is far from that

Corey was top notch in ever aspect today. Got me in the truck I wanted at a better rate then we had discussed over the phone. Truck had a check engine light pop up on way home. Guys help diagnose and reassure me. Turns out to be very minor and am bringing truck back per thier request so they can look at the issue. Alot of dealers will pretend they dont know you once truck leaves the lot. Over all Im recommending family and friends. I purchased a heavy duty diesel truck and am very happy with the quality of truck it is. If you need a vehicle dont hesitate to give theses guys a shot.

Well where can we start.... We arrived and walked around for 45 minutes waiting on someone to show us a truck. The owner Mark Strauss came out and started acting very pushy. We go in to try and buy a truck and get out of there as soon as possible but the price was $5,000 over what the internet said. Mark’s response to the price increase, “it is what it is.” We left and bought another truck and they actually gave us their internet price. I would not do business here, EVER.

UPDATE: Mark stole $5,000 from Cory. Cory is the gentleman on just about every good review listed. When Cory went to go start his own truck lot Mark lashed out on Cory and then refused to give him his over $5,000 in commissions. Mark is a schyster and should be avoided at ALL COSTS. He is untrustworthy, if he steals from his employes, then he will definitely steal from you. BUYER BEWARE!

BUYER BEWAREWorst transaction Ive EVER had!!! Dishonest and REFUSED to honor their written agreements.(Mark Strauss is the owner, so Id ignore his 5 star reviews)It started when I bought a truck from them and it died two miles down the road. The salesperson put in writing that they would pay for any repairs over $600.The total came to almost $3,000.The sales person was fired and Mark refused to accept the WRITTEN agreement made by his sales people.Mark also refused to apply my money to a different vehicle that he had on his lot. It took over A YEAR to get my plates, after I paid for 100% of the repairs.Ive purchased over 30 cars in my life (for work and family use) and I have NEVER had such a HORRIBLE dealing in car buying.

They promise me to help me but now they not even answer the single call of mine. Cory is a really worst man i have ever seen in my life..He said im not responsible now and only mark can deal further.

Review №99

Adam DonmoyerIt takes a lot for me to write this knowing theyll likely treat me poorly as a result. But at this point I have little to lose. I want to tell you that you can get a deal here. That we got an excellent (high mileage) truck that we could afford to pay cash for. But the thing is, we got our Truck in mid July (see the picture they took of us from their FB feed) and now its December 7th and were on our 3rd set of paper plates. And Cory (manager) and Mark (owner) keep promising us our title and plates (again, see picture) but for the 3rd time in a row theyve dropped the ball. They collected a registration fee from us, and we provided them a copy of our passed safety inspection last summer, but after 5 months and counting theres still been nothing. No license plates. No title. And no registration sticker. And lately theres been no communication. So my advice to anyone who reads this is to go somewhere else. Theyre either corrupt or theyre inept. Either way, youll do better elsewhere.
