Meet Our Team
Tommy Martinez - Owner, Buyer 
Owner and founder Tommy Martinez has been selling cars in Austin since 1997. A self-proclaimed motorhead, Tommy always dreamed of career that would allow him to indulge his passion for cars full time. After working for several local car dealerships, and operating a successful motorcycle dealership, Tommy decided to finally commit to his dream - opening his own car dealership. In 2011, Drive 512 Auto Ranch went from a dream to reality. When he’s not at the car lot or attending a car auction, Tommy enjoys spending quality time with his wife, two young sons and great danes. A lifelong ‘lake rat’, in the summer, you will typically find him on Lake Austin, on a boat or grilling out with friends.
Nicole Martinez - Owner, Office Manager 
Nicole Martinez is a native Austinite and graduate of Westlake High School. After completing a B.A. in Education at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, Nicole went on to teach pre-school and first grade for eleven years. During the summers, Nicole worked as a medical biller, where she honed her computer software and accounting skills. Those skills came in handy when she and her husband, Tommy Martinez, decided to open their own car lot. Deciding to dedicate herself full time to the family business, Nicole took a break from teaching to take on the back end work of the car business. At Drive 512 Auto Ranch, you will find Nicole answering phones, crunching numbers and working closely with salesmen to ensure excellent customer satisfaction. In her free time, Nicole enjoys spending time at the lake with her family, running and exercising outdoors, watching their sons play sports and spending time with her family.
