Yard report from New Braunfels, TX: Hill Country Auto Barn runs about 28 vehicles, weighted toward pickup trucks and work trucks. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 6 years on the books.
Lot address: 5297 Industrial Blvd, New Braunfels, TX. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near New Braunfels lot gate.
- Doc fee: $199, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 84% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 30-day/1,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Lane verdict: legitimate operation. Fee sheet matched the quote, title work was clean, and the pickup trucks and work trucks inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.
