If you're a novice, go see Corey Nations. He's very knowledgeable and helpful. This guy REALLY knows his stuff, but you never feel as if he's being pushy. You won't feel as if you're being sold to by someone who likens himself to "Cool Motorcycle Dude With Beard." Instead, you'll get "Smart Motorcycle Dude." He'll help you even if you are someone else's customer. Understand that these guys are on commission, so time spent with a sale they don't get credit for is time not spent with someone who could earn them a commission. Unfortunately, he didn't get credit for my sale because I already had a salesperson, but he assisted and gave us information that really clinched the deal for us. If this review were just about him, I'd give him 5 stars. Finance manager seemed a little slick to me-lots of pat answers and brush-offs to questions. You don't have a choice but to deal with him, so just grin and bear it. Seriously, just wait in line for Corey Nations. read more

RideNow Powersports - Nice showroom - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had a very unpleasant experience with Erik and Dick. I chose to not be taken advantage of and sold my bike elsewhere.

Had a Triumph part that the threads were stripped out. Was pretty sure I was going to have to buy a new part, but the service department was able to re-thread the old part. Saved me $112! Thanks! read more

Can't say enough about these guys. Thank you Zach! The guys in parts bent over backwards to make a customer happy. My Polaris looks awesome and I couldn't be happier. Props to Cory in the sales. Got me a good deal on a new sportsman for the wifey. And she couldn't be happier with her new play toy. Thanks again to everybody!! read more

Love the guys that work at this location! They're always friendly, down-to-earth, and willing to answer any questions you may have. They're a straight-forward group, which is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping me with my third bike, Tyler and Nathan! I'm loving it so far. Highly recommend! read more

Howdy, I don't normally rate anyone or any company poorly. More I focus on the positive. That being said, Im watching out for my fellow neighbors. Im watching out for people that deserve fair prices and have fun.. Customers need to watch out. I am a major consumer. I buy, buy, buy to see for myself. I watch for equality and if people are being taken advantage of. Austin Texas in general should remember what we are about. We all need growth but not take advantage of others.. Be fair.. We shouldn't have to leave Austin or Texas to get a decent price on anything. This is our home. We shouldn't be priced out of our home. Back to = Ride Now "Austin" floor sales staff all seem very nice and help where they can. Mid management and upper management could care less about the customers. With the virus... this allows consumers to see companies true colors. These folks are taking advantage of hard times. Consumers want to go out and have fun with their families and be safe... Everyone deserves a decent deal and shouldn't expect to be pushed out or edgnored because someone isn't rich. Not everyone can afford to pay way over suggested price. Hate to say it but fair is fair. Ride Now told me tons of people will buy this unit for price we have this unit. Basically they are catering to the rich and make others desperate for goods and services. I bet if I was famous, rich, or white the main management would have came off their podium and came to speak to me. Instead I was edgnored becauslie I wouldn't pay over msrp meaning their price. I sure hope Ride Now Georgetown is being fair. Again floor sales are very nice! Too bad they aren't management making fair deals. They should not over price items and take advantage. read more

Update: I got it all put back together myself. The service writer said he would have to bill me for 1000 hours. It only took 4. Looks brand new and ready to go. Thanks for nothing guys. You should be shut down and the employees here fired for having attitude problems. Service writer said he wasn't able to take in my polaris rzr800 after explaining to me that he had "the best polaris mechanic in existence that could build a polaris from the frame up." His rationale was that it was a complete project even though all I did was remove the roll cage and fairings. He then proceeded to insult me stating that my 2011 had a rusted frame and was worth only $600 used. Ive never been so insulted in my life or been treated so poorly as a customer. I had to do everything within my will power to stop myself from walking into the building and trying to get him fired. He also proceeded to quote me 1000 hours worth of labor to replace a clutch. The fairings and rollcage took me 1 hour and a beer to remove. If this is their level of expertise, please avoid at all costs. I rarely write scathing reviews, but this gentleman lacks tact, clearly lacks experience, and needs to take a lesson in respect and customer service. This toxic mentality, lack of pride, and not setting fair expectations is why you will always remain at the bottom of the totem pole. I was planning on purchasing a slingshot after dropping off my rzr for repair, but after this terrible customer service experience I will never step foot on that property again. I left the place fuming and it completely ruined my day. This is coming from someone ready to spend money on repairs and a new ride. Thanks read more

My husband and I were interested in a new CanAm and reached out to RideNow to discuss what models were available. We were connected with the sales associate Cameron O. via text, and he was kind enough to show us a few models (photos, description, etc) over the phone. We later visited the store and the sales associate was available to show us around the store, but also gave us some space to sit/explore the UTVs on our own before making our final decision. We decided on a Defender and the sales process was seamless. Like any dealership, be prepared to hang out for awhile. Cameron also assisted with scheduling our home delivery, and communicated the process/updates every step of the way. read more

I had the best experience ever at this place. I have never bought a motorcycle before plus it was a surprise present for my fiancé. Patrick and Rob went above and beyond for me! They were so friendly and never once did I feel pressured! Seriously they were both genuinely kind, and explained everything to me. They even helped me surprise my man with his dream bike! We will definitely be using them again for future purchases. read more

Just bad business with sales department! Rude ana will not go the extra mile to service you if you planning on buying a bike. Last note POOR MANAGEMENT!! read more

My experience here has been great. Nick Fletcher is an awesome, passionate, and knowledgeable Triumph salesman. I love the bike and the service has been amazing. I had a minor issue with the bike and everyone from Nick to Vick (general manager) to Steven (service manager) has been responsive and accommodating. I definitely recommend this team. read more

Bought my first bike from here, great people through and through. Saw a Kawasaki outside, wanted to purchase immediately and my friend Blake helped me do just that. Super helpful guy, deserves a raise if anything, got me into my first bike ever so I guess I'll never forget this place now. Great experience, super reliable, I would recommend even my grandmother purchase a bike from here. Dustin was super dope too and quite helpful and communicative with everything. Can't wait to come back for gear and a second bike in the future! read more

I have tried on two occasions to negotiate motorcycles with this place. They ignore any offers and their bikes are overpriced. I was interested in a bike that had tank damage and my response was "these are pre-owned motorcycles". I get that but most other places are willing to negotiate. These guys won't even listen to reason so their prices continue to be unresonable. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. KEVIN, the "service manager" is about as helpful as a cock flavored lollypop. I'm also ashamed to admit that I now know that Yelp has a 5,000 word limit, so I'll try to scale my rage and just hit the lowest of the low points. 1. They ordered the wrong parts. According to Kevin it "only put us back a couple days" but when that couple days is tacked onto the MONTH they've already had the bike, it's important. 2. They BROKE the correct parts. A $500 fairing arrived undamaged. Jacob told me they had written "ok" on it, so he knew it had arrived in one piece. During the long wait for parts they mis-ordered, this new fairing some how got broken then Kevin tried to lie to me and said it arrived broken. Try again, bucko, your employee told me the TRUTH. 3. They scratched my rims in the bike lift and won't fix them. 4. They scratched the paint near my seat, and won't fix it. 5. THEY COMMITTED INSURANCE FRAUD. Someone lightly hit my front end, cracking the fairing. The bike never hit the ground, and has NEVER hit the ground in any instance. They billed a $162.00 crank case cover to my insurance, and for some reason took off my perfectly fine cover and VERY SLOPPILY put it back together. I posted a pic showing how they just smear the bonding agent all over the damn place. It's disgusting, and it NEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE FIRST PLACE. When I question them about WHY they replaced a perfect part no one has an answer. They say it was damaged. I send them pics showing a pristine crank cover: no response. 6. They told me my bike was done at 11:30am. I sat there UNTIL 7:30 because my bike in fact was not done. For 8 hours their "Master Techs" tried to install a brand name racing clutch lever with NO SUCCESS. I put it on myself in the parking lot USING A DAMN QUARTER. They of course, still blame the lever. 7. Because of their shoddy electrical work they fouled my neutral switch so the bike won't start correctly now. 8. AND NOW, the icing on the cake. One month later, I'm riding home in the dark. All of a sudden BOOM NO HEADLIGHTS. Yep, the dummies at Woods No-Fun Center replaced my entire headlight assembly too and I'm SURE their shitty work has caused this problem. 9. I was told I'd be getting some gift cards for my trouble. Thankfully I wasn't holding my breath, it's been over a month and NO GIFT CARDS. read more

I rode a motorbike pretty much everyday from age 16 thru to 22. Then for numerous reasons I stopped. Fast forward 38 years later, aged 60, and I decided I wanted to ride again. After months of looking at bikes online, checking out countless You Tube reviews of all the different bikes I was interested in I decided the new bike for me would be a classic Triumph retro model. Now all I had to do was go out and buy one! I soon landed on the local Austin Triumph dealer at Ride Now. So I drove out to their showroom to check out their wide collection of Triumphs. On my arrival I was greeted by one of their salesmen, Winston. From the start, all the way through to the after sales, Winston was excellent in every respect. He listened to my needs and concerns patiently and offered lots of good advice that I was very grateful for. He even helped me with picking out some great gear to ride in. He maintained excellent communication throughout the process and made sure my plates, title etc were taken care of and would arrive on schedule - which they did. He has checked in with me by text to see how I'm getting on with my new Triumph T-120 and I'm pleased to say that so far I'm loving it. Thanks Winston for all your help! I got a great deal on my bike and I would also like to recognize the help I got from "English Nick" in parts. He was a fountain of information about Triumphs and motorcycles in general and because of the excellent service I received from Winston and Nick I feel very happy and comfortable with my purchase and would certainly go back to Ride Now for any future motorcycling needs. Very highly recommend. read more

DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR STOP READING AND SKIP THIS DEALER, BUY SOMEPLACE ELSE Had a truly "UnFun" experience at "Woods Un-Fun Center" on my 50th Birthday, totally ruined what was supposed to be an epic 50th Birthday. Sales manager chose to ruin my 50th over $20 dollars!! Here is the story. Was going to buy and Seadoo RSTX from them and infact had been approved for credit and a signed a deal. Came to take delivery on mayb 10th and asked the sales person if instead giving me a 100 dollar gift card they could provide a life vest for my wife that cost 119. ( was already buying my own vest and had a ski on order with 2700 dollars of accessories and extra labor, total was 21k+ That number included ovedr 1200 in dealer shipping and assembly chrages that while typical in the industry were of course flexible I was at first told yes, wife and I went to try on the vest and the sales manger came voer and tole me he would not honor the agreed deal, said he said in very rud way he had no ability to make it work. I asked him about perhaps discounting his labor or shipping by 20 and was told NO cant do it. Since i wanted to take delivery to get out to th lake that day I looked at him and said are you sure ? He said yes, no possible way to make it work. I said ok and told him we were leaving. No attempt by him was made to stop us and he genuinely looked happy to see us go as if he had won the battle! Drove a couple of miles to Central Texas Power sports and bought the same ski for less and also found out the trailer "Woods Un-fun Center" was claiming to sell me for $1.00 ( they actually built the price into the ski base nd then would not budge on base price) was undersized for the ski I was buying and might have been unsafe. The woods experience was like the worst stories you have ever heard about buying car, dishonest from the finance to the BS at the end, total scam culture in place and ZERO REGARD FOR WHATS BEST FOR THE CUSTOMER. Got calls from sales manger and vp of sales in the following days. all bullshit The place I bought was awesome, see my positive review of central Texas power sports for details. Cannot explain the level of disappointing that the unfun center created for me over 20 bucks, do yourself and anyone of your friends a favor and don't even go there. read more

Easy day! Got in, met Dominique Neroes, took his time showed us everything we wanted to see answered all our questions throughly. Made an offer on a bike we thought would fit our needs with Dustin.

Went in today and asked about yet skis. A worker there told another worker to take us to look at them in the back we walked over to take a look at the yet skis but the worker couldn't show us because the gate was close and he couldn't take us through the back because supposedly the rules have changed and he couldn't take us back there. The worker didn't even try to get help on opening the gate he just said I can't do anything other than show you in my phone. There is a reason for me going in personally to look at them. read more

Update - After some additional review of the website, I've noticed a little better price transparency. I don't know if this is due to a change in their policy and online strategy or just coincidental to the bikes I'm looking at, but it's important to acknowledge, it's looks better and more fair now. Original post - I'm a fan of RideNow/BMW Motorcycles of Austin. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. Why the 3 stars? It's only fair to give a balanced review and give you straight feedback on one of your outdated business practices. I'm very impressed with the service team and great work they do. I had some exhaust upgrade work done last winter on my BMW that was fairly complex, involved some shipping logistics, etc. The guys were helpful, informative, and handled the whole process like pros. The work was fairly priced and completed in a very reasonable time considering the logistics. Good communication the whole time. I couldn't be happier with that experience. The downside is(was) when considering a second bike the Ride Now website was not showing prices on several bikes. This lack of price transparency is disappointing. I get they don't want to get in price wars with other dealers online so not posting prices may be in their best interest, but it's frustrating for customers (which should be #1 concern). Nobody wants to "call for info", they just want to know how much. read more

This place is the reason that the sales industry has a bad name. I live 12 hours away and in good faith gave them all my information in order to finance a jet ski with a trailer (over $10K). After the approval process, we made arrangements for me to make the drive and pick it up the following week. I offered to send my $3k down payment and was told that wasn't necessary. Over the next couple days, I had a hitch installed on my car, took vacation time, and reserved a hotel room. As discussed, early Monday am I started the drive to TX. Around 10am I receive a call from the salesman telling me that the jet ski had been sold on Saturday and is no longer available. I explained that I was only a few hours away and had made arrangements to pick it up later that day. The response was that they have other jet skis available for sale. Unbelievable how little they cared about the money and time I had spent. read more

My experience with RideNow Austin has been absolutely amazing thanks to the most incredible guys Mr.Justin n Mr. Sean who always are ready to helped me with my motorcycle. If you ever stop at Ride Now Austin ask for them n say hello to them n you will experience the most incredible costumer service ever 2 months ago i felt like dumb ass with my motorcycle lol n i took it to Justin But then I couldn't go back because I was rushed to the hospital because of a mass growing inside of me, I was worried about everything But then it got worse (surgery)at that point I realized that it was just getting worse, my life was falling apart little by little It was time to get things done I made lots of calls from the hospital I call Sean and Justin I explain what happened I told them if you don't hear from me anymore it's probably because I'm dead if that happens please take care of my little motorcycle They say Mrs. We are going to be praying for you and you are going to be ok n we are going to make sure that your motorcycle is here waiting for you It's been a long time My motorcycle is still with them, I called them to say the doctor said it wasn't cancer!!!

I've been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and RideNow Austin is hands down the beat dealership I've dealt with. Dustin and his crew in parts and service are the best. He took the time to site down with me and hand pic parts that were perfect for me and my build. He didn't try to sell me whatever he had in stock, but took the time to custom order a wheel and rotors that were exactly what I had pictured for my bike. Knocked it out of the park!! read more

Thank you Brian and Dustin for you help and wisdom! Bill read more

My husband and I had a great experience. He started the process online, we showed up and Eric and Matthew helped with finishing paperwork and showed us the bike. These guys were great, I think we got more excited about surprising our son in just talking with them and then showing their excitement! The girl in the apparel department (hate that I can't remember her name) was great as well. She helped us pick out what we needed to keep my son safe and was even knowledgeable and safety features of the product and which were the best. This is my sons first dirt bike, and our first time buying one. We asked a lot of questions and were never made to feel like the questions were dumb, they were replied with detailed answers. We will definitely be back when we need any apparel and we will definitely be referring people to Woods Fun Center. Thanks again!! read more

Wellllll, It sounds like I am not the only female that has had a bad experience here. I filled out an online application to purchase a bike, and was advised my app was approved. I followed up with the sales manager by phone and email 2 or 3 times. Did not hear back. Then called again yesterday, spoke with a lady who said she would have someone contact me. I haven't heard anything from these morons, so guess what? Yeah! I went to another dealership and spent $30,000.00 cash on a new bike! Poor suckers. I know they ignore and treat women badly here. I remember a horrible experience I had with them about 20 years ago. If your a guy, they will love you...if your a girl...forget it. Go somewhere where you will get RESPECT. read more

The two stars are because my initial contact Eric P was super nice. It was the finance guy that 100% douched me out of buying. They won't give you any pricing info over the phone, so I drove 35miles from Dripping Springs to look at a Kawasaki Mule advertised for $6000. When I arrived, this was in a back lot with about 10 rows of these, 5 deep. I was able to look at it, but not drive it bc it was knee deep in their inventory. I asked Eric if it had a warranty and he just said "yeah." I'm guessing he didn't know how long. I also asked how fast it went when we were on the phone and he said "oh, I dunno, maybe 50mph?" It goes 25mph, by the way. I sat down with the finance guy who had the creepy car salesman vibe. Granted, I was prepared to pay cash, unless the financing was deal was super badass. He offered me a 4% interest rate for 36mo. I told him "I'm pretty sure I can do better with my bank." He asked who i banked with, and then said that was who he banks with, and "there is NO WAY they could beat 4%." In my mind I'm thinking "fool, I can get a signature loan for 2.1...." but whatevs. The grand finale was that the $6000 model magically jumped to $7800 after "assembly and shipping fees". Really dude? You bought 900 of these and sent them in a freight carrier (and by the looks of your lot you've paid yourself back already ten fold.) He tried to give me some recorded answer by asking "how long do you plan to hold on to this investment...." blah, blah. Dude, you're barking up the wrong tree. I will school you on interest & resale value. At that point I decided my Saturday splurge wasn't happening here.... Stay away from the Woods No Fun Center. read more

This place is a customer service joke!!! So much so I logged an official complaint with Polaris. I thought Polaris should know how terribly this dealership treats customers interested in their products. I will be sure to tell anyone I talk to to avoid giving this place their business. The story: I went in to inquire about a Polaris Ranger Texas Edition. I was told they were only allowed to order 1 and it was already spoken for, but they would take my information and call me if something changes. At the time the price was understood to be the MSRP. Weeks later I get a call saying they got the unit in and the other buyer backed out. I thought "how lucky am I?", boy was I wrong. They told me that Polaris raised it's MSRP by $1,400 10 days prior to this call and that if I wanted it that's what I would have to pay. I stated that my name was "unofficially" on it when the price was lower and that I was willing to pay the old MSRP and pick it up that day. I even mentioned that their website and ATV Trader ad listed the unit at the lower price as well. They told me the price is the price and there was nothing they could do. I wasn't trying to haggle, I was even willing to pay their EXORBITANT destination and delivery charges. It's because of their greed and unwillingness to honor their own pricing they have lost a long time customer and anyone I come into contact with. read more

We wanted to buy a Mule for our Ranch. Started at one dealership in Georgetown but the price was much higher so we drove to Austin RideNow. Dustin,Cheryl, and David were all very helpful - but Eric Plumber was the best. Professional, calm (we were in a rush), competent, and helpful every step of the way! Everyone was helpful and friendly and we had a great experience! It's no surprise they are number 1 at what they do! read more

If I could put zero stars I would. The customer service is awful, they had me waiting for an hour and a half. When one of the salesperson came they were treating me as if I wasn't going to buy anything. I ended up buying a bike that they clearly dropped and tried to cover up the scratches. But what really got me to write this review is that I got stopped by a police officer because apparently they sold me a stolen bike. Do yourself a favor a save yourself a $5000 fine. read more

As a new rider I am very glad I chose RideNow. They guided me from simple online inquiry through the purchase, helping every step of the way. Katherine (my online Consultant) and Jasmine (Sales person) both went above and beyond answering every question I had and got the exact bike I was looking for brought in in record time. Dawn took her time walking me through gear and insuring I got the protection I needed as well as the look I was going for. I highly recommend read more

Well, not quite a year ago I decided to trade in my Harley on a brand new 2016 Honda Goldwing F6B Deluxe that had been on the showroom floor. They made a decent deal with me but there's when everything went south with this dealership. I brought the bike in for it's 1000 mile service about a week after I bought it, telling the service guy that both me and my fiance could hear and feel a clunk from the rear of the bike. The service guy rode it around the parking lot briefly and told me there was nothing wrong with it. My 1000 mile service may or may not have actually been done on the bike, but what's for sure is that they did not bother to check the critical fasteners on the bike or try to investigate the noise/vibration issue we were experiencing. Fast forward to my 4000 mile service at Central Texas Powersports in Georgetown: within hours of receiving my bike for service, the tech called me and told me that he definitely felt and heard the same thing I was hearing. After he did my complete 4000 mile service, he checked all critical fasteners and found that the noise I was hearing and feeling was from WOODS FUN CENTER NOT TIGHTENING THE LUG BOLTS ON THE REAR WHEEL!!! LOOSE LUG NUTS ON ANY VEHICLE IS AN ISSUE, BUT, ON A BIKE, IT'S DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Update: the rear drive seals started leaking recently. Central Texas Powersports (RideNow Georgetown) replaced the seals and found too much backlash in the gearing. Hmmm. I know I asked about it at least 3 times. read more
