First rate organization! AB&M went way beyond in ensuring my buying experience was as planned. Even giving me a boat to use while my new boat was being remade due to a road accident! Absolutely class act no matter who you deal with from Vern, Greg, Holly, JR or Kurt. All have been amazing. Highly recommend AB&M !
We bought an Avalon pontoon here and we had a great sales experience with Israel Pattison. He worked with us to get us exactly the boat we wanted. Although there were some hitches with Avalon production (Covid, of course), we ended up receiving exactly what we ordered.Our Delivery Captain, Curt, took us out on the lake and went through all we needed to know about our new boat. Were not new to boating, we just needed a few particulars about the pontoon we bought.We worked with Holly Boyer for financing, licensing, registration, etc. She handled everything so we didnt have to. Holly was very responsive and informative throughout the purchase and delivery process.All in all, the staff at Austin Boats & Motors was great to deal with and worked with us to deliver the boat that we wanted. We would definitely recommend visiting Austin Boats & Motors when considering a purchase.
My family and I found ourselves in a serious predicament when our newly-purchased boat had no fuel in it at the Hurst Harbor dock. Being new to the area, I called Greg Lawrence at Austin Boats and Motors and asked him what our best course of action might be. He didn’t hesitate, told me not to worry and he came immediately to the dock with a filled gas can to give us enough to make it to the closest marina where we could fuel up; additionally, he accompanied to secure the fuel and then back to our new slip. I find this type of customer experience rare and I’ll surely be returning to do more business with Greg and Austin Boats and Motors as a result.
I absolutely love dealing with Austin Boats and Motors! Their service team is impeccable. All around its just a great company. Matt was very kind and helped me handle everything I needed.
Outstanding customer service and fast turn around. I make my living on the water. My boat is my livelihood. Austin Boats and Motors went above and beyond to get me back up and running after I had some mechanical issues arise with my boat. Both Matt and Jacob were extremely professional and without their help and guidance, I would not have been able to identify and fix the issues that I was encountering. They did everything they could possibly do to get my boat in the shop and back in working order and even stayed late to button everything up. I was impressed by their willingness to communicate with me throughout the entire repair process and to help me understand why I was experiencing what I was. Above all, they worked hard to get me back out there and I witnessed it first hand. They had me back on the water the very next day. With their help and guidance I was able to continue working. Kind, professional, and hard working. I absolutely recommend Austin Boats. 5 stars, all day.
Recently moved to the area. Took my boat in for service. Matt Anz treated me professionally and made sure that my boat was serviced correct and prompt. Highly recommend if you want good customer service and peace of mind in getting your boat done right and honestly.
If it weren’t for Katie in the parts department, we would not have our boat back on the water during this busy holiday weekend. Thank you for your help and support! We will be back for all our boating needs.
Katie is by far the best employee they have…..in my opinion. Knows her inventory, great disposition, best smile. Ask for her when you visit the store.
Looking for our first wake boat, I got lucky and stopped by Austin Boats & Motors. Erik in sales listened to our wants, and matched us to the perfect boat. Holly in finance took great care of us and made the paperwork process fast and easy. Everyone there was great to work with, and I recommend anyone to give them a try. Erik and Holly have both followed up several times after our purchase to make sure we’re enjoying the boat, and to see if we have any questions or issues. True sales professionals.
Had a great experience with a recent purchase here! Staff was personable and friendly, and most importantly responsive. Would definitely recommend!
I brought my brand new boat in for the 20 hour service, a trim repair and they diagnosed a factory build issue that was causing breakdowns during my initial break in period ( boat was bought out of Florida not at Austin boats and Motors ). These guys are professionals, everyone I have worked with to date in this shop is knowledgable, friendly, they set your expectations correctly and follow through on all their work. Marine repair can be hit and miss, I wanted a top notch shop to take my brand new boat and they have been exceptional every time . I will be a customer for life. If your looking for a shop you can use with confidence, who will treat you like family, who are knowledgable and professional all the time then this is your place. I cant thank you guys enough for taking such good care of my BT Skiff. Thanks again!! Yall ROCK!
Service department bait and switch. Forced to pay ~$160 when I thought I was just getting a quote for a trolling motor shaft extension. Come to find out, they tell you they cant quote you over the phone and make you bring the motor in, only to charge you $160 to even get a quote.Buyer beware.
Wanted to give a shout out to Matt in the parts/serviced area. Matt has has gone out of his way to help me with warranty work on a problematic trolling motor. Matt has been great with communicating with me including detailed photos, parts list and accurate labor cost. Its nice to deal with friendly folks who are on the ball. No matter if you are purchasing a $100K wake boat or a $10 part, these folks treat you as family. Very refreshing.
Outstanding dealership. Erik and Holly made the purchase of our new ATX boat a great experience. Very professional and responsive.
I rented an auto transport trailer from them and the experience was super smooth. The person working in the uhaul department was amazing, very helpful, and got us the best deal possible. Highly recommended :)
This dealership is awesome. I dealt with Vern and he treated me like family. We had an issue with the boat I was purchasing at delivery and Vern resolved the issue immediately, I would recommend this business to anyone with boating needs. I shopped several businesses for a pontoon boat and received the best deal from Vern.
Austin Boats and motor were great to work with and Parts staff (Katie) did an outstanding job with my request
Awesome, friendly folks. Great experience purchasing my new boat!
Erik and Holly took such good care of us !Walked us through the whole process of being first-time boat buyers/owners, and absolutely love our new boat !! The transition with Kurt was top notch, and apparently his time with us first time on the water. We will totally recommend our friends to you!
Austin Boat & Motors is a great dealership to work with. 2020 has been crazy and unfortunately ordering a boat during this year had many challenges as well. Holly Boyer and team made sure that I was taken care of at every turn. It is easy to give a great rating when everything goes right but when challenges arise that is when you get to see who will support you. Austin Boat and Motors will have your back and that is important and worth 5 stars.
Matt did a great job of keeping me updated on the extensive repairs my boat needed, and everyone I delt with was pleasant and helpful!
Great experience in buying a Tritoon Boat at Austin Boats and Motors!!! All the employees there treat you like family... I feel as though my sales person Greg has become a friend of mine now. He calls us to check on how things are going and if I have any questions ... When we first purchased the Boat he took me out in it numerous times to make sure I felt comfortable with driving, docking and loading the boat. I have called him a couple of times since buying the boat to ask questions and he is always there for me. Also would like to think Vern, Holly, and JR in my buying experience. Like I said it’s a family environment around there....Thanks Again!!!The Thurman Family
When scouring my brain to trying to come up with some stocking stuffers for my husband I thought about what he likes to do! Of course, boating was the first thing that came to mind! Running short on time, I called Austin boats and motors for ideas and they were the best! Katie went out of her way to text me pics of small boating items and in the end put together a great little sling pack full of boat cleaning supplies and towels! I know he will love it! It’s so great to see small town customer service is still alive and well at Austin Boats and Motors! 🎄🙌🚤
This is by far the best customer service experience I’ve had. On our way to Austin boats and motors, my husband and I agreed that we would not buy anything on impulse, and would think on it if we found a boat we liked. Our salesman was Greg, and we liked how genuine and not pushy his demeanor was, plus he was willing to sit down and answer a lot of questions from us that probably sounded pretty silly since we’re boat virgins.There were several things that made purchasing a new boat prohibitive, such as needing to buy a truck and a trailer plus lacking basic knowledge about boats.. Austin boats and motors removed those barriers as they are willing to deliver the boat right to our Lakehouse and give us several hours of instruction. They are also willing to hold our boat 90 days free of charge since our boat dock is in the process of being built. All of these perks, which were necessary for us, are at no additional cost.Greg took us out on a test drive before we purchased our Avalon pontoon boat, and he was extremely informative and patient.I’ve always despised purchasing new cars, and figured it would be a similar experience with the boat. This company stands out as the best customer service experience my hubby and I have ever had in our 46 years. Holly exemplifies this as well. Well done!
Wonderful customer service!! Everyone we worked with was so kind and helpful! Such a great experience, highly recommend!
Friendly family run business
Absolutely outstanding customer service. Messaged them about the surfboard I bought and they personally dropped it off to UPS. Only thing is the checkout service is a little sketchy
My girlfriend and I purchased our Avalon from Austin Boats and Motors about three months ago. The entire process was incredibly seamless! We had some minor warranty work and they got us in and out quickly. We are new boaters and new to the Lakeway area and appreciated the time they spent with us showing us how to use everything and even dropped our boat in our new slip for us. Our delivery captain was Kurt and we give him 6 stars!
Katie is an absolute GEM!!! I was in need of some very last minute gifts for my husband so she went in to work on Christmas Eve and texted me pictures of several items! I picked out my favorites & purchased them over the phone with her!! She completed my husbands wish list & saved the day!! A HUGE Thank you to YOU, Katie!! Folks....go see Katie at Austin Boats & Motors!! I promise you will get the best customer service from one of the sweetest gals!!
One word. Exceptional. From the starting process to driving away with the boat in the rear view mirror. Greg Lawrence was my sells guy. He is absolutely genuine and made the experience memorable. This dealer wants you to be 100% satisfied. They go above and beyond by taking you on the lake before you purchase and offering incentives to shop in their store. Highly recommend, ask for Greg!
They helped me buy my boat, navigate todays logistics issues, answering my many questions along the way. Great folks to work with.
Austin Boats & MotorsThank you for your service, loyalty and support during 2020 - a very challenging and hectic year.Your staff supported our family and RZX Tige Boat through the preseason, summer and fall with regular maintenance and answers to our many questions.Austin Boats & Motors was always helpful for gift ideas for Father’s & Mother’s Day & Birthdays and holidays such as “cool” Life jackets, Surfboards and boating accessories.No matter when we stop by your dealership or call for support, we always get a friendly greeting and a happy smile.Keep up the Great work and God bless y’all and your families.The Swanson’s
Below was the associate that assisted us. She was the perfect example of great customer service. Looking forward to using Austin Boats and Motors for all our needs. Thank you!- Katie Cardarella, Austin Boats and Motors.
We bought our first boat from here and Greg went above and beyond to make us feel comfort able owning a boat, driving a boat, docking it, surfing. Everything. He spent his own free time with us making sure we were ok before going it alone - something we didn’t realize we needed, but are now extremely grateful for. From talking to friends - this isn’t standard for a boat dealer to provide, so if you’re on the fence between Tige and another brand - go here
Amazing! From sells staff to service department. Just purchased my 2nd boat from Greg Lawrence. He goes above and beyond what any normal sales person would do. He truly cares about the client needs and happiness. Holly Boyer made financing a breeze, very professional and one of the nicest people I have ever met. As for the service department, everyone that I have dealt with has been knowledgeable and have really taken care of me and my boat. Highly recommend Austin Boats and Motors for hassle free buying experience. Not to mention a great deal.
I recently bought a 2019 Avalon from Austin Boats and Motors and I have to say it was the best experience. A special thanks to Holly and Lynda for taking care of me. The service department is also amazing. If you are looking to purchase a boat I highly recommend Austin Boats and Motors. Thank you all so very much. We love our boat. Thank you.
We were looking to buy used however changed to a new 2020 Tige after talking with Martin. The 5 year warranty and peace of mind that we will be taken care of should any issues arise sealed the deal! Holly was also awesome to work with and got us amazing financing. I was very impressed with the whole process at Austin boats and motors and we are very happy with our purchase!
Great experience with entire staff during the purchase of our new boat. The purchasing process was efficient and stress free. We appreciate the effort by Sales and Service to get us setup for the lake. Our family highly recommends Austin Boats and Motors!
We purchased a 2020 Tige from Austin Boats and Motors about a month ago. Our salesman Greg was friendly and able to answer any question we had. Holly made the financing simple and quick. Their parts department was nicely stocked and had everything we needed, JR did a great job and was fun to work with.The overall buying experience was enjoyable from the moment we walked in the door. Simply put, the team at Austin Boats and Motors was great, thanks again! And we love the boat too!
Katie went above and beyond to help me. She was knowledgeable and courteous. Would definitely recommend dealing with them.
I have my boat sold and the purchaser wanted a system scan on the motor. Set up an appointment with the service department. They were two weeks out and that would have been okay. Checked with them today (which is not quite two weeks) and was told that my appointment had been cancelled due to them not hearing from me. Well I thought when you made an appointment, you were done. I guess they have plenty of business and dont need mine.
We had a Great experience at AB&M. Our boat trailer suffered a catastrophic crack in the frame and we needed to find and buy a boat trailer. After much searching state wide, we contacted Greg Lawrence at AB&M about a trailer they had for sale. We didnt know if the trailer would fit our boat and Greg offered to meet us at the boat ramp with the trailer while we came on the water with our boat. This was on his day off and he not only used his own vehicle but had to pay the park fee to get to the ramp.We probably spent approximately 30 min. maneuvering in and out, loading and unloading until we figured out the trailer, though needing adjustments, would work, so we agreed to come in the next day to purchase and pick up the trailer.When we went in the next day, Greg had already had their shop do some of the adjustments we needed to the trailer and they installed a new taillight to replace one side that was out. We were shocked at all Greg and AB&M did and this was just a used boat trailer!We can honestly say, if youre in the market for a boat or anything on the water, you should contact Greg Lawrence first because he goes way out of his way and over and above to please his customers!!
After taking my boat to ABM for a simple fuel pump replacement. They had the boat for 9 months. Ran all kinds of unnecessary test to pad the bill. Once they said it was ready to go. They delivered it with a blown motor. They reluctantly took the boat back to their shop to see what the issue was. They tried blaming me for not disclosing that it had an oil leak. One would think that at some point they would have checked the oil. But they did not. If you take your car to a dealership to get a fuel pump replaced and when you pick your car up and it makes it about 15 down the road and blows up because it doesnt have any oil, whos fault is that? The dealership of course. The same principle applies here. They would not take responsibility for their mistakes. And still havent. Fortunately my insurance company got involved and sent a forensic mechanic to look at it and see what happened and whos at fault. After reading what the mechanics said they did to the boat he came to the determination that they either lied about what they did or they are completely incompetent. For example they said they couldnt get the low fuel alarm to stop going off even after running 30 gallons of gas through it while hooked up to a hose. There is no such alarm on the boat. It was the low oil alarm going off. Thats how the motor blew up. How stupid are you if cant figure out that one simple thing. There are many questions that arose when he was looking at it. Ill give you just one more. They said that they pulled all the spark plugs out and they found a water gas mixture in all 8 cylinders. He said that was impossible for that to happen. He has worked on boats and doing diagnostic work for over 40 years and has rarely seen it in 2 cylinders never 3 and it would be impossible for it in all 8. Another lie to pad the bill for more test. This is the most dishonest company Ive ever dealt with. By far the worst. I would stay as far away from this company as you can. They will lie to you, cheat you out of your money and your boat will be worse after you get it back. Not to mention they were burglarized and a bunch of boats got items taken out of them. They did not call me to let me know si I could see if anything was taken from my boat. There was about $7000 worth of stereo equipment and bunch of other items stolen. I only found out when I went to the police and they informed me about what happened. What kind of company does not inform you when your property is in their possession and they get robbed? That would be ABM. I could go on and on about my experience. I just cant believe they are still in business. If you want peace of mind and not to worry about getting screwed over take it anywhere but there. Ive talked to many people about this and ABM has a horrible reputation in the industry. They are known for this kind of deception and not taking responsibility for their mistakes. Fortunately my insurance came to the conclusion that they were responsible for everything. They are now pursuing justice for me and hopefully Martin will learn a valuable lesson on how to treat people and not lie cheat and steal from them.
Outstanding experience working with Greg Lawerence on a new ATX!
Dealing with the parts counter mostly excellent service
My wife and I stopped by Austin boats and motors yesterday and we met Vern the sales manager and his sales person Eric what a great bunch of guys no high-pressure sales tactics just very friendly guys and very helpful thank you to Austin boats and motors🦅🇺🇸🇨🇱
Just closed on a brand new Tigé R21 with GREG! It was my bro’s and mine first boat. We were very hesitant with any boat purchase but after doing months of research and traveling all over Texas talking to multiple dealers and different manufacturers, we found a great dealership and great sales guy. A big part of our decision making was finding a team that would stand by their products and offer great service and a dealership that we could buy future boats from. I have to say I feel bad because Greg would consistently go out of his way to provide the best customer service possible. As a lawyer I’m very cautious of fine print and shady dealings but you will find none here. Greg and the entire staff are true to their word. Holly was great in going to bat with the financing and was a tremendous help. They put us in a awesome boat and at a great deal! Side note Greg also taught us how to wake surf in a matter of minutes I highly recommend getting lessons with him it’s worth the cost of wasted fuel and frustration. All around great job from the Austin Boats Motors team!
This is interesting. Im no boat expert but I know that when I take my truck to Covert they do a full 14 point inspection( oil check included) no matter what I take it in for. Do you guys not do this?
Great selection and service. The nicest people on Lake Travis!
Great selection of boats, very knowledgeable staff - enjoyed visiting with them to learn about some great options to consider for our boating adventures.
We just moved here and still getting acquainted with the lakes in the area. We first found them when we dropped our uhaul trailer off after moving into the area. Since then have visited several times for accessories for the lake and once to get our boat serviced for the season. They got us in and out on time and as promised. Nice and friendly staff! Being on our boat during COVID has kept us sane!!
Went in to talk about upgrading my boat and to pick up a new wakesurf. Isreal and Kurt helped me and gave outstanding customer service. I felt right at home and I could tell they knew their stuff. They helped steer me in the right direction. Real happy with the new board and when I’m ready to upgrade the boat I’ll definitely come back.
I’ve used this store for over a decade to service several of my boats that I’ve bought used. Hoping one day I’ll be able to afford one of the new ones - hah!They are always responsive and quick to provide me with updates and solutions and work with me to determine what repairs are needed. The text updates are really convenient.I’ve also rented several uhauls from their parts department and they have the best customer service of any uhual place you’ll find.Highly recommend.
Very friendly people all you need for the water plus beautiful boats
Took my boat in to have some work done. All repairs were completed in the time frame that I was given. Justin is awesome. I highly recommend him and his team!
Worst Marine shop in town! Went to have my engine replaced. Horrible over price job. Then to top it off they stole all my amplifiers out of the boat. Great place to get robbed in the wallet and in your boat. They have no idea what they are doin! And there management team will cause you of trying to steal from them. Take your boat anywhere, but here!!!That’s a great response... If you had really done any homework, you would see i did pay to have my new engine put in. It was horrific! I spent hours cleaning up the job your guys left. Also after calling to work something out, i was told i would get a call back, and course i didnt hear anything... When I called back i was told “Oh, i was about to call you...” Then i was accused of removing my amplifiers to try and get new ones!!! Great customer service!?!? I just spent almost $9000 with you! I have tried to work with your office, it impossible... you have workers stealing from your customers, and management could care less about it! If you want to do something refund the money i spent on the two amps that were stolen!?!? Sorry, but this place is the worst!!!
You call u-hull and the message is leave voice mail. Have no idea why. As they never call back. I left two messages at two different weeks, never gotten call back.However, if someone is answering the phone, then service is good b
I just wanted to thank you and your team for doing such an outstanding job. We truly felt like we were taken cared of from start to finish. Thank you for all your help with the financing, insurance, and most of all the overall sale experience. The captain we had was wonderful he made sure that we were taking home a boat we will truly love and enjoy. We are very thankful for all of his information and his lessons! Overall he had A+ awesome customer service and we felt he even went the extra mile every single time. We were also thankful the captain and JR was able to help us with our truck. I also have many praises with JR for also assisting us with our many questions. JR made sure we were taken cared of as well. I just wanted to let you know that we will forever be grateful for all of your hard work and outstanding customer service. You have made our boat ownership dreams come true!
I recently purchased a new boat from Austin Boats & Motors. The experience was the most pleasant of any other buying experience that Ive had. The salesman, Erik Ruiz, was never pushy and simply helped me understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various boat styles and models. In the end, I received a very competitive price and was treated with respect by every employee from sales to service. The financial process, handled by Martin Boyer, went smoothly as well. Martin found me a great interest rate and took the time to review all the contract details to ensure that I was comfortable with all terms and conditions. I summary, this dealership is an extremely professional operation and I highly recommend them for your boating needs.
This is the worst boat dealer I have ever dealt with in my many years of owning a boat. Their only interest is to sell boats, not service boats. Linda in the service department told me that personally. I made an appointment 2 weeks in advance with Linda and she told me my boat would be brought in the day after I dropped it off. I dropped my boat off and two days later Linda calls me and tells me they cant look at my boat for another week to determine what they needed to fix it. Thats not why I made an appointment. She asked did i want it fixed or do I want to come pick it up. I drove 3 hours round trip to take my boat there and this is the kind of service I get. Never again!!!! I suggest you run from this place as fast as you can.
Purchased a Tige R23 this year. This was our first boat purchase and can’t say enough great things about the staff! Our salesperson was Greg Lawrence and he has been first class from time of purchase all the way to helping my wife and I set the boat up for surfing. Absolutely love the Tige! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for Surf boat.
I couldnt be more satisfied with the team @ ABM. I havent purchased a boat from them but I use them exclusively for all of the service/maintenance on my 04 Skeeter bass boat. Brian Ludwig, the service manager @ ABM, is one of the easiest guys in the business to work with and hes overly committed to helping you get back on the water as quickly as possible. Their entire team is very knowledgeable and resourceful. Sonny is the technician that has performed most all of the service to my boat over the years and I couldnt be happier to have a service technician that I respect backed by a team that I trust.The ABM team continues to far exceed my expectations and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an easy to work with, first-class shop.
Just purchased my boat. Wonderful experience. Martin Boyer,was pleasant to talk to, very knowledgeable, patient with me and my wife, answering the myriads of questions we had. Explained the procedures in the purchase and the boats operation in a way in which we were both able to understand. My wife and I normally feel pressured and anxious when purchasing a big item but Martin and his associates (Eric and Holly) put us at ease from the beginning. Very professional but not over bearing, allowing a sincere relationship to be formed with a deep feeling of trust. My wife and I encourage anyone looking for a good boat at a fair price to come and see for themselves. You will enjoy it.
Great team and great experience buying a boat, the entire process was seamless. They also take you out on the water to go through everything on the boat and make sure that you are 100% satisfied. I definitely will continue doing business with Austin Boats and Motors!
Just bought a boat here; very informative no hassles. Very fair prices and good honest advice by the salesperson.Very clean back and forth via email to finally get what i wanted. Recommend them highly.
From the time I started looking for a new boat with Martin and the crew at Austin Boats and Motors to the day I signed papers the experience was painless and informative. They took the time to listen to my needs and inquiries and even helped with getting a better insurance quote. I am scheduled to pick up my boat in a few days and I cant wait. I live 3.5 hours away from this dealership and have no reservations in saying, no matter where you live, if your looking to buy a boat the folks at Austin Boats and Motors will take care of you. Dont even waste your time somewhere else with limited inventories and sales staff that know their inventory. Wish I would have went here the last two times I bought a boat. I am a tournament fisherman and Martin knew just what I wanted from insurance to amenities on the boat. Austin Boats and Motors will be my go-to place for all things boating regardless of the drive time.
Call and ask for Greg hell get you the best deal
Buying a boat should be a happy experience. And it was a GREAT experience at Austin Boats and Motors. Very fair price, reasonable trade in and did most of it over phone and internet. Showed up and no hassles, no BS, as advertised and came home with a new Ranger. If you are looking for a boat, LOOK at Austin Boats and Motors.
Great folks. Great service. On time.
Dale is great to work with! He has priced boat after boat, trying to find the right fit for us...Holly in finance (AH-MAZING) has jumped through hoops for us and even though we have not been able to come to an agreement on terms quite yet... we will definitely be purchasing a boat from Austin Boats & Motors....
Great experience all around. We just bought a boat we had our eye one for a while and had been in several times. They were always nice throughout the entire process. We will be long time customers.
Thanks to Holly, Brian, Eric, and the rest of the service team at ABM for their invaluable assistance on working out the bugs on my BW center console boat. All issues were addressed quickly and professionally and I have not had to have any repeat work performed on those items they serviced for me. I highly recommend them for any new purchases you may have or any service work that needs to be performed.
I have an older Crownline BR and needed Idle air valve replaced and horn repaired. I was told by Greg that they would do a 16 point inspection and not do any work until I approved it. I called a week and a half later to find they replaced the Idle air valve without my consent and we agreed to complete a tune up and oil change. Greg called a couple days later and told me he missed the fact that I have a Bravo drive and he ordered the impeller for an Alpha drive. That got corrected and then they found the water manifold was cracked. I agreed to have everything repaired. They called me to pick up the boat and I found that the emergency brake cable had been snapped and there were greasy hand and foot prints all over my white leather. Greg and Marc told me they would detail the boat and repair the brakes on the trailer. I spoke with Marc the next day and he told me the detail was done and the trailer brakes were repaired and working. I picked the boat up and the trailer brakes do not work. I called and asked for Marc but Greg answered and told me they replaced the cable but the trailer brakes did not work when they took the boat in and they are not going to repair the trailer brakes. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BOAT TO THESE LYING CROOKS!!
These people work very hard to take care of you, whether you are a long time customer or brand new!
Moved to the neighborhood 3 years ago and found austin boats & motor. Since then Ive bought all my parts from JR at the parts department. Have my eye on The Wake Tractor and will be meeting with there sales department soon. Im sure sales department is just as great.
Your phone message and website says you close at 3 today. We called earlier to make sure you had not changed hours for the Labor day holiday weekend and you confirmed regular hrs. We showed up at 1 pm to pick up our boat and you were not there!!! You should notify your customers of your last minute change of hours. Family in town for the three day weekend and no boat. This stinks!!!
I am an owner of a Ranger Bass Boat and after reading Dereks review I think I will by taking my boat elsewhere for repairs.
Derek Gibbs said this place is horrible.Yeah it is horrible.
First boat buying experience and Im extremely happy with how the team at Austin Boats and Motors helped me during the decision and delivery process. Very thorough overview and not rushed at all. Thanks!!
I called for parts for my Yamaha engine on a Saturday morning. Brian L the service manager was answering the phones. Unbelievably rude from the moment I said good morning. No interest in helping me in any way. Then told me I was welcome to call somebody else if I didnt like his unfriendly phone manners. Wow. I will spend my money elsewhere and you should too. Pete
They were responsive to my questions. Very helpful when ordering and promt in contacting me when my parts arrived.
Super nice people and lots of inventory.
Service is their middle name. Ok, story time..... If you dont want to be bored, the summary is that everyone was great and the service was great.In my case, I was selling a used boat and the engine conked out at the water trial! Bong! Emergency problem. We call and called around some more. No one could help us for days/weeks! We only got the time of day from one other shop, and they were far less than promising.Finally, I remembered Austin Boats and Motors near my house. I called as a last chance and in desperation..... I recommend calling here first now.ABM listened to our problem and said, sure, bring it in and we will get on it. (From far far away) We hustled over there, they listened patiently and asked poignant questions. They got to the heart of the matter quickly. Good listeners.Soon, they related that it was a 5 hour job. It was about 12:30 when we arrived. If we wanted it done, they could do it. And.... we could wait in the showroom/TV/Lounge area until it was finished. Cool AC/pretty lady offering us coffee, etc. etc. etc. And, most of all, they promised to get it done.The three of us talked boat, watched TV, drank coffee and chilled until about 1 hour someone came out and showed us a quart jar with 1/2 water and 1/2 gas. Bingo!They cleaned the injectors, drained the tank and did much more. Started the engine, tested it and we were out and gone in about 4 hours. (The bill was reasonable, we were happy to pay for the quality/speed.)We booked it to Hudson Bend, splashed and blistered at about 50mph in this very fast fishing boat. (even in rough water) All now running great thanks to Austin Boats and Motors on HWY 620, in Lakeway. (Near Hudson Bend - a census designated place)The sale was made and the buyer trailered it to LA the next day.OK, thats it. Long way to say, they done good. I recommend them if you want fast, quality service.They have parts, new boats and more. Check em out.Miles Hurst,resident of Hudson Bend. (a census designated place)
I needed an inexpensive part ($12) for an older Crownline and the Austin Boats and Motors guys were very helpful finding the exact part and ordering it for me even though they had a similar part that would have worked on the self. I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly.
We couldnt be happier with the purchase of our new boat from Austin Boat and Motors. They worked quickly to get it ready for us and get us on the water.
My Review is strictly with the Service department and the new UTV sales for the off brand Chinese side by sides. First I want to warn anyone looking to buy one of these Chinese UTV- Please dont. Unless you want to spend almost the equivalent for a Polaris or Yamaha, but owning a cheap Chinese under-built UTV. First two months of owning this UTV my left front suspension rod broke. I was on my property spraying weeds when I went down a very small hill. The suspension was so cheaply made that once it broke my UTV collapsed breaking my radiator.Then after just a few more months I started having electrical problems. I brought this unit in to Austin Boats and Motors on 12-12-17. They had my UTV until 2-1-18. Every week or so I would stop by to get an update. The first three trips I went in they did not even know where my UTV was. I then got the service manager involved. He assured me that he would have me answer by the end of that week.Of course that never happened, so I went in again to talk with him the following week. He went on to apologize for having my UTV now 4 weeks with not one person looking at this. Again the manager went on to say he would have someone put this at the top of the list. I waited now two more weeks- so yes 6 weeks has now passed.As you can guess I had no phone call or follow up. I went back into the office and now the manager who I have visited many times is not really even familiar with me. I told him this was the most unprofessional service department I have ever dealt with.I told him I wanted to pick up my $14,000 piece of junk Chinese UTV so I can find a competent party to work on this. The only kind thing he had to say is Mr Bailey we will waive the initial service fee of $150 since they were unable to look at my UTV.Terrible customer service and an even a worst built UTV. Hopefully you can all learn a lesson from me- Spend the extra $1000 for a like Japanese or Polaris model- dont buy Chinese and dont buy from Austin Boats and Motors.
Just took my boat in for winterization which I learned the hard way is very important. I failed to winterize my boat 2yrs ago and ended up with a freeze busted engine. Bryan the service manager gave me an estimate and was with in a 100 dollars of the original quote to replace my block. Got me done in 2 weeks so I could enjoy my summer!! Awesome job.Just picked my boat up and will return this coming spring so he can summerize my baby. Great job and when I decide to purchase a new boat I will not consider anyone else. Thanks Austin Boats and Motors.
We bought a used boat from them in October. Was a very good experience. They took good care of us. Repaired all we found wrong. Got the warrenty transfered. Would recommend them to any one looking for a boat.
I love my Blue Wave Purebay 2000 from Austin Boats and Motors. I got a better deal than in Louisiana and Houston. Worth the trip. Martin and the team are great! Justin did an great demo on Lake Austin and answered all my questions! Also love my Humminbird with Minn Kota Ipilot Link.
Great people....love my new motor!
TERRIBLE SALES AND SERVICE!Bought a boat from this outfit that the one of the worst major purchases ever! The service dept did not inspect and correct several issues. The pre delivery inspection must have been non existent. The sales mgr Martin failed to keep promises that he made. Never ever trust Austin Boat and Motors.
I have been using the service center for prepping my boat for winter and summer. They have done a professional job each time.
Cant beat the sales parts and service they are the best in town
ALWAYS courteous and consumate professionals.
Have nice boats and very friendly
These crooks took my money, and gave me my boat with NO SPARK PLUGS INSTALLED!See you in court!
Nice selection of boats
Fixed my engine
